one kid was "abducted" for 4 years and didn't say a thing and easily could've escaped. Now I'm just a normal kid as well. And after seeing his pic now, I could easily see him as just a pissed off kid not wanting to return to his family.

and the other "abducted" kid...Im literally not making this up...the official story is that the one single major thing the other kid returning back to his family did.... he immediately ran up to his room to turn on the computer to play some video games

This whole thing reeks. It should be very interesting what develops.
Are people that stupid that they think this was an out and out kidnapping?

This is kind of in repsonse to the ill-conceived Sheehan question, but really Bush has done 100X the Damage that Sheehan could dream of.

Bush has Tortured.
Bush lied us into a war.
Bush neglected Osama and Afghanistan.
Bush created record deficits.
Bush has SEVERLY neglected American domestic policy.
3000+ soldiers have died as a direct result of his incompetence.

This isn't Bashing or fantasy. This is the plain and simple truth.

Why isn't he held to account?

I believe if we had an honest media, his approval rating would be 10%.

We impeached Clinton for a BJ, yet this grossly incompetent man gets a free pass from people who DARE to call themselves patriots?

Pathetic.

CHICAGO (AFP) - The world is inching closer to nuclear Armageddon, a group of prominent scientists and security experts said.

ADVERTISEMENT

The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists has kept a Doomsday clock since 1947 as a reminder of the dangers of nuclear proliferation.

The clock will be moved forward Wednesday at simultaneous events in Washington and London whose speakers will include physicist Stephen Hawking, the Chicago-based periodical said in a statement.

The Bulletin warned that the world had entered a "Second Nuclear Age marked by grave threats."

It cited the nuclear ambitions of Iran and North Korea; escalating terrorism; unsecured nuclear materials in Russia and elsewhere, the continuing "launch-ready" status of 2,000 of the 25,000 nuclear weapons held by the United States and Russia, and "new pressure from climate change for expanded civilian nuclear power that could increase proliferation risks."

First set at seven minutes to midnight -- a phrase that has become part of pop culture -- the clock has been moved 17 times in response to global events.

The most recent shift was in 2002 when it moved two minutes forward because the United States withdrew from the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty and terrorists were known to be seeking nuclear and biological weapons.

It currently stands once again at seven minutes to midnight, the closest to danger since the end of the Cold War.

Founded in 1945 by scientists who had helped develop the atomic bomb and were deeply concerned about the use of nuclear weapons, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists counts 17 Nobel laureates among its boards of directors and sponsors.

Here are the dates and reasons for previous changes:

- 2002: Seven minutes to midnight

The United States rejects a series of arms control treaties and announces it will withdraw from the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty. Terrorists seek to acquire and use nuclear and biological weapons.

- 1998: Nine minutes to midnight

India and Pakistan "go public" with nuclear tests. The United States and Russia cannot agree on further deep reductions in their nuclear stockpiles.

- 1995: Fourteen minutes to midnight

Further arms reductions stall while global military spending continues at Cold War levels. Risks of nuclear "leakage" from poorly guarded former Soviet facilities increase.

- 1991: Seventeen minutes to midnight

The United States and the Soviet Union sign the long-stalled Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) and announce further unilateral cuts in tactical and strategic nuclear weapons.

- 1990: Ten minutes to midnight

The Cold War ends as the Iron Curtain falls.

- 1988: Six minutes to midnight

The United States and the Soviet Union sign a treaty to eliminate intermediate-range nuclear forces; superpower relations improve; more nations actively oppose nuclear weapons.

- 1984: Three minutes to midnight

The arms race accelerates.

- 1981: Four minutes to midnight

Both superpowers develop more weapons for fighting a nuclear war. Terrorist actions, repression of human rights, and conflicts in Afghanistan, Poland and South Africa add to world tension.

- 1980: Seven minutes to midnight

The deadlock in US-Soviet arms talks continues; nationalistic wars and terrorist actions increase; the gulf between rich and poor nations grows wider.

- 1974: Nine minutes to midnight

SALT talks reach an impasse; India develops a nuclear weapon.

- 1972: Twelve minutes to midnight

The United States and the Soviet Union sign the first Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty and the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty.

- 1969: Ten minutes to midnight

The US Senate ratifies the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.

- 1968: Seven minutes to midnight

France and China acquire nuclear weapons; wars rage in the Middle East, the Indian subcontinent, and Vietnam; world military spending increases while development funds shrink.

- 1963: Twelve minutes to midnight

The US and Soviet signing of the Partial Test Ban Treaty "provides the first tangible confirmation of what has been the Bulletin's conviction in recent years -- that a new cohesive force has entered the interplay of forces shaping the fate of mankind."

- 1960: Seven minutes to midnight

Growing public understanding that nuclear weapons made war between the major powers irrational amid greater international scientific cooperation and efforts to aid poor nations.

- 1953: Two minutes to midnight

The United States and the Soviet Union test thermonuclear devices within nine months of one another.

- 1949: Three minutes to midnight

The Soviet Union explodes its first atomic bomb.

- 1947: Seven minutes to midnight

Nuclear war outbreak in the 2020's -- terrorist nukes NY, washington from off shore tankers---then 3 cities are told to be held hostage...so the US does cannot retaliate.

Finally the US somehow retaliates...nuking Iran, Syria, Iraq and NK, and the terrorists nuke LA, Houston and Miami.

Then US goes into civil unrest...not only at the beginning, by pressuring the goverment not to retaliate by threatening (millions of protestors) to over-run washington and kill the president and take over the goverment to prevent anybody in Washington to retaliate against the terrorists (out of fear of furhter nuclear retaliation)...

but then...after washington is eliminated...and all the major ports and cities...the US becomes divided and 70% militarized...global economy collapses...and social order in general reverts to chaos.

In this world what would you do to entertain yourself and have fun? would you smoke the hail marry and go out at see to pillage? would you rape villages?

I'm not sure if I'm right, but from seeing the news, it seemed like he was just keeping them in his apartment. One was missing 4 years ago and the other one just 4 days ago. What did he do to the boy who was abducted 4 years ago? If he had wanted to kill him, he would have done so already? But what was his use for them?

I've heard it said that he only took copies but the part that never gets mentioned is the copies he took had the original hand written notes of the committee members on them. What was jotted on those copies that Mr Berger felt it necessary to committ a number of felonies to cover up ??

The NY times ignored it. I haven't seen any coverage on ABC, CBS or NBC. What happened to this story ?
