News & Events - January 2007

Anyone hear about the Aqua Teen Hunger Force Stunt that appears to have panicked Boston?
(I religously avoid watching the news, I check headlines about once a day, by-product of a past media-relations career)
any thoughts on it?
I'm torn.
On one hand, i'm laughing my butt off of pictures of bomb squads removing eltric signs of cartoon characters (the mooninites for the ATHF faithfull) fliiping the bird, subsequently blowing them up for fear of explosives.
On the other hand, the adult in me says Adult Swim, or whoever was responsible, shouldv'e known better.
what's your opinion of this 'stunt' and the reaction?

Should the "friendly fire" pilots face trial?

In March 2003, two USAF A-10 "tankbuster" planes attacked a British convoy, killing Lance Corporal Matty Hull, despite clear and repeated signals that they were coalition troops:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/6318565.stm

Cockpit video from the planes has come to light: it's still classified, but reports indicate that one voice can be heard saying gleefully, "Somebody's going to jail for this!"

The USA does not usually allows its forces to face trial in other jurisdictions, and has opted out of the International Criminal Court: but should these men be an exception, and tried in the courts of its ally? If not, why not?

Please indicate in your answer whether you are American, British or other.

Does anyone feel that Micheal Delvin could be innocent?

I was just wondering if there's anyone out there that feels that Michael Delvin isn't guilty? I am up in the air because there were so many questionable and bizarre behaviors brought to the light since the case began. All I keep thinking about is the Ramsey (Jon Benet) and how that suspect was convicted by the public...even ADMITTED his guilt and he was innocent.

In any case, I think that a THOROUGH investigation should be conducted. Hopefully, officials don't try to save face and tamper with evidence either for or against Delvin. I simply would like the truth to be told and brought to the light...WHAT EVER THE TRUTH MAY BE.

Do you know Molly Ivins died?

Will you miss her commentary? for those unfamilar with Molly she was a widely read nearly 400 papers nationwide reporter and Texan and a voice in the wilderness of this place called the United States of Republican Stupidity. In 2003, she coined the term "Great Liberal Backlash of 2003." She is also creditted with the nickname "Shrub" for George W. Bush, who had misunderstood the Spanish word Arbusto when he selected it as the name for one of his companies. She was a opinionated lady and a helluva reporter who kept an eagle on "Shrub" and his cronies. And I for one am really gonna miss her.

Armenian Issue?

At the end of the World War I, when the armies of Allied States occupied The Ottoman Empire and the British officials among them arrested 143 Ottoman political and military leaders and intellectuals for “having committed war crimes toward Armenians” and exiled them to Malta where a trial was launched. However, the massive scrutiny made on the Ottoman, British, American archives in order to find evidence to incriminate these 143 persons failed to produce even the least iota of proof against them. In the end, the detainees in Malta were released without trial and even any indictment in 1922.

What do you think about the Boston scare thing?

"We're not going to let this go without looking at the further roots of how this happened to cause the panic in this city,"
This is a quote from the attorney general in reference to the "planted devices" scare.
It would seem to me that if all the "lawmen" weren't so busy trying to justify their excessive vigilance (and excessive bugets), treating every unattended Light-Bright as a bomb and potential terrorist plot we wouldn't have been scared in the first place.
Now, don't get me wrong an ounce of genuine prevention is one thing but haven't things gone a little too far?? Hasn't it gone far beyond justifiable defence to the realm of absolute control??

Why did Turk/Turkish (don't know which to use) Nationalists threaten the pope when he visited?

I also wonder about the whole Hagia Sophia thing, especially since it was built when there was one Christianity. ex: Why did they not want the pope to pray there? Is it because the Ottoman Turks desecrated (spelling?) the Hagia Sophia and tried to turn it into a mosque by hiding all of the paintings on it? I am very curious about this.
