Johnny comes homeless
And with it come the questions: How is it that a nation that became so familiar with the archetypal homeless, combat-addled Vietnam veteran is now watching as more homeless veterans turn up from new wars? What lessons have we not learned? Who is failing these people? Or is homelessness an unavoidable byproduct of war, of young men and women who devote themselves to serving their country and then see things no man or woman should? ___ For as long as the United States has sent its young men — and later its young women — off to war, it has watched as a segment of them come home and lose the battle with their own memories, their own scars, and wind up without homes. The Civil War produced thousands of wandering veterans. Frequently addicted to morphine, they were known as "tramps," searching for jobs and, in many cases, literally still tending their wounds.

I filed extortion case against Selim, not Sheikh Hasina: Azam
At a hotel in Gulshan after the annual business conference of Prime Bank, its chairman, Azam J Chowdhury, told journalists, "I have filed no direct case against Sheikh Hasina. She is the daughter of father of the nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. I can never imagine lodging any case against her." He said, "Hasina did not demand or take money from me, rather Selim took the money from me assuring me that he will secure the contract with the help of Hasina for constructing the Siddhirganj power plant." "But during interrogation, Selim confessed to the police that he took the money at the behest of former prime minister Hasina", said Azam J Chowdhury adding "Normally police include the names of other persons in the charge sheet if their names are disclosed by the main accused. Similarly, police included the name of Hasina in the charge sheet as per the statement of Selim." As such, Azam J Chowdhury pointed out, "Not me but Selim made Hasina an accused in the case by uttering her name." Meanwhile, the Supreme Court on Thursday allowed the trial of the Siddhirganj power plant extortion case against AL president Sheikh Hasina, her sister Sheikh Rehana and their cousin Sheikh Fazlul Karim Selim in the special court of Dhaka Metropolitan Sessions Judge.
