Pro communist protesters march during an anti government rally in Athens on Thursday, May 6, 2010. Greek lawmakers approved a crucial austerity bill Thursday needed to tap 110 billion ($140 billion) in bailout loans from other eurozone countries and the International Monetary Fund, as massive crowds gathered outside parliament to protest the measures. The bill passed with 172 votes in favor and 121 against. Greeks have been outraged by the government's proposed fiscal measures, and demonstrations turned violent on Wednesday during a nationwide general strike, leaving three people dead after becoming trapped in a burning bank torched by demonstrators.

Glenn Greenwald

In this May 13, 2009, photo, Sen. Bob Bennett R-Utah, walks to the Senate Chamber on Capitol Hill in Washington. Bennett, darling of the National Rifle Association and grandson of a Mormon Church president, suddenly may not be conservative enough for ultraconservative Utah. He could become the first 2010 election casualty among incumbent U.S. senators if he fails to win at least 40 percent of the 3,500 delegates at the state GOP's convention May 8.
