As for the rockets, the footage is a day old, so I couldn't find a link. Sorry about that.

This isn't the first time there's been malicious use of lasers. I'm not reaching for the tinfoil hat, but I wouldn't rule it out completely.

Get your head out of the SAND and look around you.

While ignoring the slaughter of innocent Iraqis, the U.N. administered the oil-for-food program, which generated more than $100 billion dollars, supposedly for the people of Iraq. We have known for years that the oil money did not go to the people, but to palaces for Saddam and his cronies. We are now learning that his cronies were not all in Iraq.

We are also gaining some insight as to why the U.N. Security Council failed to enforce resolution after resolution against Iraq. Both France and Russia, leading opponents to President Bush's efforts to enforce U.N. Resolution 1441, were deeply involved in commerce with Hussein and, it now appears, were also up to their ears in corrupt transactions through the oil-for-food program.

Russia received more than 2.5 billion barrels of Saddam's oil, and France got 165 million barrels. The Communist Party got 137 million barrels, and 90 million went to the Russian Presidential Cabinet. The French Minister of the Interior got 12 million barrels, and Jacques Chirac's close friend and financial supporter, Patrick Maugein, got 36 million barrels

The government controls the do not fly lists, not the airlines. The same goverment who do *NOT* have Osama bin Laden on that list.
Remember back int he '80's when we used to ridicule the USSR for their citizens having to carry around their papers for ID? So the US is turning into '80's russia in the name of security?
The Bush adminerstration hasn't stopped a terroist attack - the do not fly list will not stop an attack - the guys who flew on 9/11 were not on any list - the color terrorism alerts will not stop an attack - *nothing* can prevent an attack except not having enemies in the first place (which is pretty impossible).
Terrorism didn't start on 9/11/01 - the IRA (Irish Republican Army) had been killing innocent British people for 20 years previously, but nobody in the US cared then, did they? And terrorism was around long before that...

I agree that the Taliban were a pretty bad bunch and Al Queada need an ass whooping, but I can see no logical reason for war in Iraq - apart from impressing daddy....

Actually, if you care about the US read this daily

Actually, if you care about the US read this daily. And if you want to do something about it, go here.

And why would this be the case? Because it has been proven that oil comes from dead dinosaurs or something? That might not be the case. Maybe it's time to revisit these periodical cries of "we're going to run out of oil!" that I've been hearing since the Carter Administration. Mr. Carter's 20 years are up, and we have more oil available now than we did then.

There's a lot of conventional wisdom we've collected that really isn't worth it's inclusion in your list of "obvious truths". Global warming, a theory based entirely on computer models, is likely flawed as well. Wasn't it as late as ten years ago when the prevailing theory was that we were going to suffer an ice age due to human activity? It's hard to accept this type of "science" at face value, at least without more evidence of higher quality.

It's worth it to be skeptical when extraordinary theories are presented. That's good scientific method, and while your friend might not be right, his approach is far from foolish.

Funny you should mention Dick and Jesus in the same post. Coincidence? I think not. Many scholars today day believe that Jesus was gay. It looks like JC loved to take a good pounding in the ass.

The reason why this poster made the comment about the bible is that it is annoying to find a Bible (and a Book of Mormon in Utah) in every hotel room.The same people that are for putting Bibles in every room would be against placing the Quran next to it.

An incident in Kakabeka Falls last month has apparently caught the attention of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the F.B.I.

ABC News reports that the arrest of two people driving a van loaded 12 drums of red phosphorous has caused concern because of fears of a new terror attack in the U.S. The chemical is highly incendiary, and ABC says American authorities have reports a spectacular attack may be planned for sometime before the Presidential election this fall.

Thunder Bay Police charged a man and a woman only for violations of the Dangerous Goods Act. Police spokesperson Chris Adams says it's an ongoing drug investigation, since red phosphorous can be used to make Speed. He says U.S. officials have not contacted Thunder Bay, but may have picked up on the case through Interpol.

ABC reports the two people arrested here were Muslims, and that they claimed they were paid $4500 to drive the phosphorous to the U.S. Adams says that in fact, they said they were paid to drive the van to Toronto. They were released with a court appearance set for July.

Now, I'm not saying that we should turn our Western world into a police state. At the same time, though, there are those among us who are determined to destroy our civilazation - and discussions like this we're having here on /. help us weigh the pros and cons to make informed opinions, and keep our rights, yet not at the cost of safety.

It was basically a fuss caused by an angry group of Reagan fans (obviously).

::Eyebrow quirk, GoogleGoogle::

http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=354 15

"In a statement issued today [article date: November 4, 2003], the network insisted, however, its decision had nothing to do with the backlash from Reagan supporters."

"Martin Anderson, co-editor of a newly released book, "Reagan: A Life in Letters," said in an interview on "The O'Reilly Factor" he doesn't buy CBS' claim that producers of the series checked all kinds of sources for historical accuracy.

Anderson said he has been in touch with most of the people who were in Reagan's inner circle and none said they were contacted by the movie's producers.

That includes former Secretary of State George Schultz, former Attorney General Ed Meese and Reagan's chief of staff, Michael Deaver, said Anderson. He noted Reagan biographer Lou Cannon and presidential historian Michael Beschloss also told him they were not contacted."

http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,536 971,00.html

"You should know this story because it's something the producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron won't tell you. They have exhibited astounding carelessness and cruelty in their depiction of my father and my entire family. They never consulted any family member, nor did they speak to anyone who has known us throughout the years. In the New York Times on October 21st, one of the writers admitted that the line about AIDS victims was completely fabricated. In that same article, Jim Rutenberg reported that the producers claimed no major event was depicted without two confirming sources."

Doesn't look like they pulled it because of 'an angry group of Reagan fans'. Looks more like they pulled it for the right reasons, namely it was 'A shocking true story!' that wasn't necessarily true.

At the time when it was about to come out there was a furor on talk radio about it (yeah, it was conservative, but still)... and it just sorta felt to me like it was the same as the Enron TV movie. Lots of lies to make the subject look bad, attacking a person/entity with no ability to defend itself (in one case, a dead/dying company, in the other case, a 90+ year old man with Alzheimer's).

Which brings to mind another question, does freedom of speech cover lying? As in this example, where a movie was made based on no research of the subject and then touted as a true story? Personally I believe that free speech shouldn't protect that which is easily proven untrue. But that's just me.

Nice try, but this is the same website which claims that homosexuals in the UK want to teach 4 year olds about anal sex. Excuse me while I'm not convinced.

Sacrificing mod points to post this in agreement. Unions are a good idea in theory, until they shoot off their own foot in practice.

The problem as I see it is that people get greedy. They go beyond trying to secure their rights to bestow entitlements on themselves. Eventually the ones supplying the entitlement revolt.

If I could mod you up I would, but you have caught on to what other people do not or think is the lie. The government up here has gotten very good at ensuring that what is said is quarter truths and filler. Enough to ensure what they've said isn't a lie; or can be changed to fix their mistake.

Myself, this is one of many issues as to why I'm leaving the country. I simply can't stand it anymore, and even at that most of the people I went to school with are now living in other countries(mostly the US, but a good few in Japan) for similiar reasons not jobs while that figures in highly but freedom, and control. Don't forget about Lawful Access either, there's another peice of tripe.

And one other thing, remember we are now going to have 4 sets of laws up here. Quebec, Natives, Muslims and everyone else.
Canada prepares to enforce Islamic law

I know alot of people are not fond of WND, but it was the only place I actually found a place reporting the story. So much for fair and equal justice under the law for everyone...

I don't even want to get started on CSIS or anti-terrorism legislation up here.

Enough of the conjecture and hearsay already! Tolkien was adamantly anti-racist. He risked forgoing publication of the Hobbit in German to avoid giving credence to the "race-doctrine". The publisher wanted him to pledge that he had no Jewish ancestry. In Tolkien's words, "I have many Jewish friends, and should regret giving any colour to the notion that I subscribed to the wholly pernicious and unscientific race-doctrine."

let's not let silly facts get into the way of another overblown attack on the patriot act - which few (if any) of the people against it have actually read it.

From an article in WND.com

Feingold said last week during debate over the Patriot Act, "...It is quite another to press for the enactment of sweeping new powers for law enforcement that directly affect the civil liberties of the American people without due deliberation by the people's elected representatives."

Not just IT..... Looks like the Republican party is outsourcing it's fund raising activities to an Indian call center...

http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=343 23

Another point - Joe Sixpack might not shed a tear for US IT jobs being shipped overseas, but he WILL get irate when he calls for support for his shiny new Dell, and Apu in Mumbai answers the phone... This is where the offshoring scheme is going to start getting sticky, when consumers start getting fed up with talking to someone in India whenever they call a helpdesk for a product they've purchased...

Another sad part is, this is going to start rising animosity and zenophobia against Indians in general.....

It's not just the "right wing" that believes this. It's the American public in general...unless you believe that a majority of America is "right wing"...which would tend to indicate that those who label what is "left" or "right" (that is, the media) are in fact left of the center. Most Americans (54 to 29) think media is slacking in its job as a watchdog. Most Americans (53 to 29) think there is bias in media. Most Americans that think so (51 to 26) think that bias is left-leaning rather than right-leaning. Most Americans (46 to 25) think the American media is anti-American than pro-American. This isn't just "some right wing conspiracy" it's what's really happening. Even self-described liberals like Bernard Goldberg are speaking out about it...there's some more left-wing perspective for you. You want empirical evidence? OK.

Not every. And notably not Israel.

Wrong. Israel has been accepting Jews from around the world since 1948. Despite how crowded it's gotten to be, they still accept newcomers who make aliyah.

These people actually lived in what is now Israel until they were kicked out by force.

Wrong again. Mark Twain said in 1867, "Stirring scenes occur in the valley [of Jezreel] no more. There is not a solitary village throughout its whole extent - not for 30 miles in either direction. There are two or three small clusters of Bedouin tents, but not a single permanent habitation. One may ride 10 miles hereabouts and not see 10 human beings." No one really lived in Palestine before Jews began resettling there.

We keep hearing how the Jews are encroaching on Arab land...but the Jews have built only 144 settlements compared to the Arabs' 261. If settling the West Bank is so provocative to peace, why do they keep doing it? In fact, since the Jews resettled Israel, it's become prosperous and Arabs have flocked there to be able to find jobs.

Arafat is no Palestinian - he was born in Egypt. As an outsider, this isn't really his fight. So why is he trying to kick the Jews off their land? Yes that's right, Israel belongs to the Jews. In 1854, 2/3 of the population of Jerusalem was Jewish according to none other than Karl Marx. In fact, though Jerusalem is supposed to be the third holiest site to Muslims, they paid little attention to it until it became a political issue with the Israeli state. Arabs didn't want to live in Palestine before 1948.

There are no "Palestinians". It's a convenient political fantasy. Before there was an Israel, there was no movement for an independent Palestinian homeland, because any attempt would have been squashed flat by the reigning Arab monarch.

• Israel accounts for about 1% of the land area of the Middle East.
• At least twice, many of Israel's Arab neighbors have joined forces to make war against her.
• When Israel has taken territory during these unprovoked wars, it has repeatedly withdrawn peacefully.
• Israel has consistently proven willing to give up even more land in order to gain peace, yet is met with further terrorism.
• In Oslo, Israel agreed to terms that conceded far more on its part than on the Palestinians part, and still Arafat wouldn't agree.
• Arabs living in Israel are free to work, live, and can even police themselves and conduct their own governmental affairs to an extent. In fact, Israel is treating these "refugees" better than they are treated in neighboring Lebanon, an Arab state. However, Jews (and Christians) living in Arab countries have to submit to degrading dhimmi status.
• Far more Jews have been displaced from Arab lands since 1948 than vice versa. (I wish I could find the link for this one - I remember reading it within the past year.) Why do we not hear about them? Because Israel has welcomed these refugees, something Arabs are unwilling to do for theirs.

Who's oppressed and who's the oppressor?

Who are you to tell people they should just leave their home, and not complain?

The thing is, for most of them, Israel isn't their home. Many of the original refugees were urged to leave by Arab leaders, but not welcomed into those countries. (If living with Jews is so bad to an Arab, wouldn't fellow Arabs be willing to give them a way out?) No other displaced people group in history has continued in "refugee" status for three generations! They either acclimated to where they were living, or someplace else accepted them so they moved on. They are unwilling to fit into Israel, and other A

The answer sadly is deeply embodied in a belief in controlling other people?s moral behavior. The dogma that comes hand in hand with most of the control freaks in Washington is that of ultra-conservatism

Don't be so quick to point the finger at conservatives. (Never mind for now that such categories are too simplistic.) Leftists are just are eager to control our thinking. People with deeply held convictions are told they must accept homosexuality (sodomy), abortion (child murder), and adult entertainment (pornography and prostitution) as a normal part of society (and even sacrosanct civil rights!) - or else be branded as "intolerant" or "close-minded", or even face prosecution for "hate crime"! Thought crime is more like it.

Cultural norms that are held for hundreds of years don't become norms by accident, nor are they so drastically changed in a generation. Have you ever stopped to think why these norms exist? Why they are held with such conviction? You can pooh-pooh religion all you want, but you're in a distinct minority. For over 95% of the inhabitants of this planet, spiritual matters are a factor in life. For most of them this means some form of organized religion. Most organized religions traditionally reject homosexuality and the others. (And for good reasons, but that's another discussion.) And for a majority of those people these beliefs are a foundational part of their being. And yet, the irreligious 5% seeks to impose it's own interpretation of morals on society - a society it doesn't relate to on the most basic of levels.

For those that don't think you can legislate morality, wake up, it happens all the time. Statute law is codified morality. It's our ideas of right and wrong written down and given the weight of society to enforce. When basic ideas of what constitutes justice are treated as merely whims of convenience that can be changed for trifling reasons, you'd better expect society as you know it to implode. People's convictions don't change simply because you change a law, and when the two are not aligned you're going to see friction.

You said you leaned Green. That's enough proof of socialistic ideas for me. Green philosophy looks like a watermelon to me.

There can never be too much freedom. If you believe (as I do) that government only has the power we, the people, give to it, then there is no such thing as "government freedom". There is only personal freedom. If government authority is squelching personal freedom, it's time for the people to rise up and take some of that authority back.

Restricting the power of government equating to restriction of freedom? That's the most asinine thing I've heard in some time.

No one's advocating ditching government altogether. That would only work if men were angels, and we're definitely not. We need government to secure and protect our rights. But power corrupts, and men weilding governmental authority can also abuse rights very easily.

Also, I did not voluntarily create the government the way it is now. I would freely create the government as it was in 1787, as it had built-in checks to prevent what's happened to it since. Unfortunately, the 16th and 17th Amendments (lawful ratification in question, but that makes no difference to the people in power) pretty much put an end to the dream of 1776.

Opera will remember your exit state for all open tabs. If you accidentally close Opera, just restart and you're back where you were.

I use this all the time. I have a couple tabs open all day to news sites. In the evening I just close Opera and go home. In the morning, I launch Opera and there they are again.

Saw this earlier today. Probably based on the same news feed, but what the hey. Here you go.

A well-written post. However, I'd like to counter a couple of your points.

Japan where guns are strictly controlled

From what I've read, per-capita crime rates amongst Japanese living in America are lower than amongst their kin living in Japan. Interpret this how you will. I interpret it to reinforce the concept that legalized gun ownership has the potential to reduce crime... It's just that, for some cultural reason, the Japanese have a lower starting-point. This doesn't altogether contradict your position, it's just another view of it.

And regarding the Supreme Court's position on the second amendment, you might want to read this opinion column on the recent ruling by the federal Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. The Court stated, in a nutshell, that there was no Judiciary history of applying the Second Amendment to individuals. This fellow runs down a long list of cases that the court apparently ignored, from the Dred Scott case to U.S. v. Verdugo-Urquidez in 1991.

Just my two bits. Keep on reading, keep on learning, keep on thinking.

Osama Bin Laden's brother, Sheikh Hasan bin Laden, is [or was] a director of Iridium LLC, the company that brought Iridium out of bankruptcy. Shortly after the September 11 attacks, there were numerous press reports that the White House felt that Bush's movements in the late morning and early afternoon of September 11 were known to Al Qaeda. I have often wondered if someone in the greater Bin Laden clan was monitoring the extensive DOD traffic on Iridium. I emailed this theory to the White House, and to the FBI, but I never heard back from them.

Right. Like how mainstream media's reporting of the current Catholic scandal doesn't have an obvious pro-gay bias.

Are you arguing that bias is good, as long as it's bias you agree with?

In case you didn't catch it, the bias is the inherent assumption that there's something wrong with Catholicism that's causing this, not with the homosexual men who happen to be Catholic priests. Also note the hot-button term "pedophile priests" that's used constantly, though victims have not been children equally of both sexes but mostly teen boys. Mainstream media has the inherent bias that homosexuality is morally acceptable, regardless that a large segment of the population holds beliefs to the contrary. For them, 'gay' is OK so obviously the problem is elsewhere. That conclusion is not so obvious if you remove that underlying assumption.

Fair and accurate reporting would not be making these kinds of assumptions and "deductions". Maybe it's the stress of the job. Maybe it's the vow of chastity. Maybe it's the vow of poverty. Some still do that, right? Or maybe it's the sexual tendency. Good investigative reporting shouldn't rule any out, but should find the angle that best fits the facts. If some indy news sources (like WND) tend to focus a bit more on the "flip side" view, I'd hazard a guess it's simply to counterbalance the overwhelming view from mainstream media.

WND is a "conservative rag" just because it has some views you disagree with? Get a grip. WND has a number of columnists I almost consistently disagree with. It also has a number I almost consistently agree with. That's a good balance, IMO.

WND also reports on stories that mainstream media will not touch. Willingness to look at the tough stories demonstrates journalistic integrity.

Are you so used to the typical Leftist slant in media that anything standing unslanted looks like a "conservative rag" to you? Media is biased. I prefer honest reporting that lets me arrive at my own conclusions.

Balanced reporting, and they often scoop the Big Players too.

• World Net Daily
• Drudge Report
• News Max
• Townhall
• Lucianne
• Jewish World Review
• Front Page Magazine
• Cybercast News Service

Fox has pretty good, balanced news, too.

You actually think HIPAA will protect patient privacy? Think again.

The only people who need my medical information are my health care providers.

Darn right. The government has no business knowing my medical info, either. I work for a major health care facility, and the article I linked scared and completely surprised the people I've shown it to.

So start reading non-mainstream media instead. No, the Onion doesn't count.

Another review of the movie for you. One of Sean Penn as well.

Another review of the movie for you. One of Sean Penn as well.

Not exactly. Speaking of killing innocent people on purpose look how many innocent Afghani's had died as of Dec. 6th thanks to US bombing. And while that is a low estimate, and was tallied almost 2 months ago, it still supasses the number of innocents lost when the trade towers came down. Considering that the US government has ordered all news services to place a low priority on civilian deaths because they are "a normal part of war" (everything that happens in a war is generally a normal part of war, we might as well just stop reporting entirely) and even though civilian deaths haven't been the goal of our attacks, in the words of Tim Wise, "the end result has been a distinction without difference. Dead is dead, and when one's actions have entirely foreseeable consequences, it is little more than a precious and empty platitude to argue that those consequences were merely accidental."

Especially when the government specifically targets Al Jazeera's Kabul office so that they can't report on civilian deaths, you realise that the hate felt for the US is completely rational. If it weren't for an atrocious foreign policy we wouldn't have the terrorist problem (or at least it wouldn't be as big) in the first place. Remember, violence begets violence. Even if you wouldn't have joined Al Queda before, would you join it now that the US bombed your mud house with a 2000 lb. JDAM bomb (whose taxes pay for that?) and killed all of your family for reasons that you don't really even know? (See the cursor.org story.) I know I would.

Back to drugs. What if all drugs were legal? The answer can be found here. But then how would the CIA be able to fund its covert ops, and does Uncle Sam really want to give all that money spent on the WoD back to the American people? They couldn't, and Uncle Sam doesn't. The truth is that the WoD is a cash cow, and if drugs were legal then they would no longer have exorbitant black market prices (which puts people in the gutter, and supposedly funds terrorists, which I thought is what we are trying to avoid anyway).

The sad thing is that all this is just the tip of the hypothetical iceberg. The US government sucks. For the good of, well, everyone we need to reduce it to its Constitutional limitations while the people still have the power to do so without a war. Well, that or I'm out of here as soon as I'm 18.

Probably the most honest news portal I have seen is World Net Daily. They seem to have their adds mixed in with the news, but it isn't misleading. Obviously they have to make a buck somehow.

Anyway, they do seem to put the facts into their news.

As far as I know all "solutions" to cases like this fall into two categories.

1) "Kill them all and count the bodies." -CIA basic operating procedures

2) "Always leave your enemy a way out, the only truly dangerous enemy is a desperate one." -Sun Tzu

So what do all US hating terrorists want from the US? They want us dead or at least out of their lives. So are we to trade the lives of the Kosovo Albanians, or Isrealis for fewer people hating us for being Free? If we take Sun Tzu's advice and try and leave them an option, what do we offer? Exile to Antarctica? frontal lobotomies? When the disparate strategies of the CIA and Sun Tzu were originally brought to my attention, (I believe it was in a Tom Clancy novel, the same guy who wrote about using Boeings full of jet fuel as offensive weapons) I could not understand the need for the CIA's ruthless, even barbaric, practice. Now I think that I better understand; Sun Tzu was talking about rational enemies, but the CIA is trained to deal with the more difficult kind.

I am all for a slightly restrained offensive against all nations deemed to be supporting terrorist activities. I say give them the choice of performing "acts of good faith" such as the ejection of known terrorists, freezing of assets, destruction of training infrastructure, and CESSASTION OF PROPAGANDA, to back up all the verbal condemning that everyone is bandying about. Then, for those that do not comply, we introduce them to the business end of our own version of a passenger jet full of fuel, they are called fuel-air bombs.

Since it is extremely important I will reiterate that an end to the propaganda is of vital importance. If people like the PA were not brainwashing their children to be martyrs, it would be a lot harder for Bin Laden to find opertives. We also need an end to the double standards. If anyone was even bothering to look, they would know that Lebanon actually treats the Palestinian "refugees" in their country worse than Isreal treats the civilian population of the West Bank. Funny how no one tried to bring that up at the UN racism conference.

Here's an alternative point of view as to what has been really going on in England recently.

'The Abolition of Britain' Geoff Metcalf interviews author Peter Hitchens on the end of England

Oh, were you looking for unbiased news on the Clinton News Network? Is it any wonder that you got the "impression" which is most favorable to the Democrats? CNN is about as objective as Slashdot.

For a dose of real news check this out.
