700 cases have to be reviewed thanks to this lying toad who successfully pretended to be a forensic scientist for 30 years! How the hell did this ridiculous situation happen? Don't the authorities check credentials of people they hire to help convict criminals?

"A bogus forensic psychologist who supplied evidence in hundreds of court cases over almost 30 years has been convicted on 20 charges. Gene Morrison, 48, who left school with no qualifications, was described in court as a charlatan who had tricked judges, lawyers and police. About 700 cases he worked on will now have to be re-assessed, Manchester's Minshull Street Crown Court was told. The court heard he was paid at least £250,000 in taxpayers' money for giving apparently expert advice. Morrison's firm, Criminal and Forensic Investigations Bureau (CFIB), was hired to give evidence in court." http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/manchester/6383307.stm

I saw a report on urinaium enrichment and I think it may be possible for us to supply fuel grade uranium to them for use in a power facility without them having to enrich it themselves. After all, we have that down pat, and they don't have uranium ore deposits. They are saying that they want it as an alternative fuel source, ok, that may be good for the environment instead of fossil fuel plants. Another thing we could do is encourage them to start making solar energy, that they have an abundance of. Plus, they have all the materiels and people they need to create thier own independant solar array and power grid. The thing I see is that they need alternative power, and we need to feel comfortable that weapons don't get created as a byproduct. So, if they insist on building the power plant, why don't we oversee the insertion of fuel from top to bottom. Everyones happy. Do you really think we need to go to war with Iran? Maybe if we respect and assist instead of demand...

I am an American. I have seen things over the past 5 years that I can and cannot appreciate. The Islamic Fundamentalist threat is real my fellow Americans. Whether it has been waged right or wrong. The Iraqi dictator Saddam was not allowed to be trusted. I really do not know were the delicacy of this country ever went to. I am trying to find the unity we once had on that beautiful September morning. A nation that I believe can find it in our hearts to move on with this bickering over the wars in Iraq abd Afghanistan. I am hurt by the politizing that has taken place due to the power grab in Washington D.C. I am not Democrat or Republican. I am not Liberal or Conservative. I am American. Born and raised here. I am an American. The enemies are Osama Bin Laden, Al Qaeda, Nasrallah, Ahmandeinjad, and every known terrorist that threatens our way of life. Lets become united.

I saw Dick Cheney reacting to the news that the Brits were withdrawing their troops from Iraq by saying that it was a positive sign. He said (paraphrasing) that it was a sign that the increase in U.S. troops is working and the new strategy is succeeding. Even after hearing his argument, I still don't understand how the Brits withdrawal has any correlation to the increase in U.S. troops and the new strategy. I hate to sound cynical, but it kind of reminded me of how they kept telling us that we were winning the war when just about every independent group came to the opposite conclusion. Can anyone please explain how the British withdrawal of troops is a sign that the new strategy is working?

Please don't turn this into a Bush/Liberal bashing contest on your answers. I am genuinely interested in knowing if the withdrawal is a positive thing and would like to hear your thoughts, not your attacks.

Saw an article online in Newsweek where they asked the question whether the cost of rescuing people from mountains, gorges, etc. should be passed on to the people being rescued? This was in response to the trio of climbers and their dog who had to be rescued just recently from the same area where other climbers just recently died.

I feel the cost should be passed on to them. The rescue groups are risking their lives for people who accepted the risk of their actions. Also, while dogs like the outdoors, these people were irresponsible in taking a dog on this dangerous climb without any safety or cold weather gear for the dog. It was lucky that they did have the dog though.

I'm referring to the surviving relatives of the family of the 14 year old girl who was gang raped by U.S. soldiers and then shot in her home, along with her parents and younger sister, before burned the home and blamed it on insurgents. A second soldier has now pled guilty, with two others implicated. The only "good news" in this story is that it was evidently other servicemen that blew the whistle.

Should the rest of the family just chalk it up as just an unfortunate stress-related incident, and just be grateful to us for "liberating" them? Should we do as Conservatives suggest and downplay such atrocities, for fear of being "unpatriotic" and damaging troop morale, and are concepts like compassion and the value of human life only applicable to Ideal Families, fetuses, and the brain dead?

Finally, are incidents like this really "isolated", and if not, how many of the bodies attributed to "insurgents" and "terrorists" are of our own doing?
