ANKARA, Turkey -- Once they were untouchable. Some were members of Turkey's elite military class known as "pashas," a title of respect harking back to Ottoman times. For decades, Turkey's senior officers, self-appointed guardians of the country's secular tradition, called the shots. With strong electoral backing and support from the EU, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has curtailed military power and signalled further tough steps to rein in the generals. But Monday's detentions, following the gathering of wiretap evidence and the discovery of secret weapons caches, marks the highest-profile crackdown to date.

When last I wrote a few days ago, I was at a secret Canadian military base waiting for a Canadian Air Force Hercules to collect six journalists, including myself, about 40 soldiers, an Afghan interpreter and an assortment of others whose roles are classified, for transport to Kandahar Airfield in Afghanistan. Finally, as dusk approached, the pilot told us to get our gear and hurry up. The soldiers boarded with their weapons, mostly C7 assault rifles. The weapons were unloaded, but each soldier carried a full magazine in their vest so they could defend themselves if the plane went down before reaching the airfield. Unfortunately, communications with the outside world aren't easy in a war zone. When a soldier dies, for example, all phone and Internet networks are disabled as a precaution ...

The findings "should help to defuse the current crisis," said the United Nations atomic watchdog, Mohamed ElBaradei. The director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency called on Iran to accelerate co-operation with the group and to "enter without delay into negotiations. Iran denies that it is using its civilian energy program to develop nuclear weapons. But the United States, which recently slapped sanctions on Iran and is pushing hard for more from the United Nations, won't join any negotiations with Tehran until it suspends uranium enrichment.
