    In the version I saw the Netherlands were mentioned with the picture of people smoking a bowl. I agree that there should have been a full list. Especially since there were far more insignificant countries than there were significant see:

    Regarding the Bin Laden wedding.

    All in all I din't think he makes false statements as much as he makes opinoinated satements with factual base. The difference can be a fine line but the line does exist. It seems that Moore's goal is to present his opinion however and not a truly objective piece of reporting. But then he doesn't claim he's delicvering the absolute truth. Interestingly Fox News (as well as others to be sure) claims to be delivering akin to truth but is guilty of the same misleadings and persuassion.

    Actually, the majority of bin Laden's did leave the country during the lockdown. Only one family member was evacuated in the weeks following and it was made public almost immediately. He was a student was begining to be harrassed. The issue of course is that none of them including hte last was questioned. What makes this crimial is the fact that the family was still in touch with Osama. The movie talks about this event as the wedding of one of Osama's sons. It didn't go on to quote the poem that the son read regarding the destruction of the USS Cole

    The Bin Laden family gained much more of their wealth through construction. They have been the main firm in the service of the Saudi king to build roads and infrastructure. Oil came later and certainly it's no shock that the Bush family would want to continue positive relations with wealthy Saudi elite.

    Yep! A whole sculpture commemorating it- it even has a plaque. Course while you're there, the architecture around the university is pretty diverse, from gothic to 70's technocratic. In addition, you can grab a free meal by emailing me.

  4. to god to be true. on Sony Vaio GT3/K: You Spilled Your Laptop on my Camcorder · · Score: 1

    Hi,

    Thank you for contacting us. The GT3 has been discontinued, but Sony
    has released an updated model called the U101 -
    http://www.dynamism.com/u101/main.shtml. Although the U101 does not
    have the camera of the GT3 (which was only 640x480), the U101 has a
    considerably faster processor, higher quality display, lighter weight,
    and smaller form factor. When the GT3 was released, it was designed as
    a prototype. After a few model updates, the Sony U101 is the final
    result.

    We will have the Sony U101 available in about 3 weeks. We are currently
    taking pre-orders that will secure your place in line. To place an
    order, please give us a call at 800.711.6277. Another option is to
    reply back with the following info:

    It seems rather odd that According to <a href="http://www.enonline.sh.cn/news/local/local02 2801-4.htm">Enonline </a> not only did the London Times publish this story before anyone else, but the urban planners and city officials in Shanghai weren't privy to the advancing status of this project. Could it simply be a government plot to deny there own people the foreknowledge of a great civic accomplishment? Perhaps someone over in GB screwed up. Anyone see Tailor of Panama?
