Given that the interim results led to the McCanns becoming suspects in the disappearance of their daughter do you think that the publishing of the full laboratory report from Birmingham will see them damned even more?

What is so terrible about people being fat. I think they are trying to relate the term "obesity" to people who are just plump too.
I am not fat myself (12 stone and 5 foot 7) but I feel the government and medias obsession on this issue makes those who are into social outcasts and young girls into anorexics.
The government claims it is equal to climate change in its importance - what a load of bollocks.

Seems they should clean their own house before alienating an ally. As a Democrat, I have to say this Congress perplexes me even more than Dubya does.

THE BEST NEWS IN A WHILE, AND NOT A BEEP FROM THE ARABS.
NEW YORK — An Israeli airstrike on Syria last month targeted a partially built nuclear reactor that was years away from completion, the New York Times reported Saturday, citing U.S. and foreign officials.

The report said President Bush's administration had intense discussions with the Israeli government before the strike and U.S. officials were divided over whether it would be premature.

Syrian President Bashar Assad has said Israel bombed an "unused military building" in the Sept. 6 raid. Israel has been extremely secretive about the affair. It only recently relaxed censorship to allow Israel-based journalists to report that Israeli aircraft attacked a military target deep inside Syria.

For five months the identity of the Mark Warner employee who was looking after Madeleine in Praia da Luz's Kids Club in the hours before her disappearance has been a closely held secret.


She was witness to the McCanns' movements during the week they were on holiday in Portugal and fed Madeleine less than three hours before she disappeared.


On the morning after Madeleine's disappearance it is believed she even told Portuguese police of a man she had seen acting 'suspiciously' around the apartments.


Today we can reveal her identity as 20-year-old Catriona Baker

Okay... I have to give an explanation of why I need this or it will sound super odd. In a textbook for class there was a teacher story of a sophomore journalist teacher who brought a picture from the front page of their local newspaper in for evaluation. The picture was of a marathon that had just occured and the winner (female) crossing the finish line covered in sweat and with menstrual blood running down her leg. She wanted her students to think critically about whether or not this was appropriate to post on the front page and why or why not. Anyway.... my group is presenting on this topic (not menstruating... but having the ability to critically inquire) and we are going to do our own debate on whether or not it would be appropriate for a teacher to use this method to get her students thinking critically. I really need the picture or one similar to it. Can anyone help me find one? Thank you!

I'll even be open minded enough to consider a perpondurance of the evidence as proof enough if you can show me such proof that leaves me thinking they are guilty beyound a reasonable doubt.

Now to participate in this, you MUST STATE YOUR SOURCES and provide links.

the bridge on Chappaquiddick Island where Teddy Kennedy was involved in 'that' accident in 1969 ? Was it at the extreme Eastern end of the island where a bridge on Dike Road crosses over a channel to a long slender North/South pointing finger of land ?
I believe that the local residents campaigned to get the bridge closed due to the many sight-seers who came to view the scene. Any further information would be appreciated.

is so much unjust in this world at the moment, and the one thing Mr Brown can do, is to allow parents the right of knowledge, the god given right to protect their children, and stop hiding the animals that live amongst us. I don't want a witch hunt, or to go on a vigilante manhunt, all I desire is to know if a paedophile lives in my local area. Children need protecting, and if we knew that info, everyone would be extra careful of the little cherished ones.

or hear on the news?

If your open minded and have any humanity, decency or compassion in you ,you're in for a lot of grief. If you swallow all that you read or hear and state the press as fact you get a big following of supporters who agree with you.

So with this in mind

Do you believe all that you read in the press or hear on the news?

why would congress ever do such a thing when Turkey told them from the start that if they did they would turn against us? They even threatened to attack Iraq.
Do the Democrats think this is worth shoving something in Turkey's face that happened 90 years ago even though its going to completely destabilize the region and cause us to lose a key ally throughout the last 60 years?
Its not like its helping anybody, it can and will only make things worse.
