Let's just say that my professor's work was shot down quite quickly. (He did get it published, but in a smaller magazine, that honestly has little impact in the field).
...Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, three countries that officially recognised the Taliban government...
I have to wonder what the majority reaction would be if every US citizen was read that little snippet. And Lo and Behold: there's good ole 15 of 19 Saudi Arabia again!
I assume every person who joins the US military still has to swear an oath with a bit about 'protect and defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic... immediately following that, are they then ordered to ignore it, or do they do that all on their own?
Maybe the brass then just launch into the fate of Bradley Manning as a teachable moment...
I recall one wag claiming Lipitor should be given away with every fast food meal. Sad to see it is still being held hostage by the ultimate drug dealer: Big Pharma.

I had no idea Netherland was part of the Axis of Evil.

Remember how hard it was last time to find talented, compenent help? Double or treble that difficulty.
Microsoft now has a polonium lab.
Sounds like an affirmative answer to a question on the 'Am I Part of The One Percent?' quiz.
is still Enron Accounting, even when the cool kids do it.
The rules (of law or otherwise) do not apply to the rich. More seriously: she was no doubt given a large pile of cash to take a bullet.
It makes the walls optically transparent.
