The programme "Esta Pasando" on Tele 5 in Spain have just interupted their programme with news and photo of a possible sighting of Madeleine in Albacete Spain on 31 Agosto. The photo shows an arab woman from behind and she is carrying in her arms a little girl who is looking over her shoulder. I have to say the photo looks VERY like Madeleine. We shall have to wait until the experts check the photo out. They have had it for some time now, but I have to say it does look like Madeleine.

He was invited to speak, then it seems to me he was ambushed by his host. To me this was bad manners, and worse diplomacy.

I read the article about the Colorodo University reporter saying F**K Bush in his article. He may now lose his job, but he is saying that his freedom of speech is being taken away. I have read many comments of people saying how this controversy is just another example of freedom of speech being eroded.

People need to understand that freedom of speech means that you won't be arrested for saying what you want. Example, I have the freedom to tell my boss to F**K Off if I want. I wont get arrested, but I will get fired.

Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequences. What do you all think?

at a campaign fundraiser, Hillary Clinton criticized Vice President Cheney and called him 'Darth Vader.' Cheney denied it and said, 'Darth Vader is evil, half-machine and always wears a cape. And I don't own a cape.'"

I was reading an article about Rupert Murdock. He is an Australian born Media mongul who owns fox and controlling shareholder of News Corp. (He expanded his news business in to Great Britian and China).

It has been stated by several sources and implied by wikepedia that this man has an agenda to shape public perception and world views toward a ultra-conservative slant in America. Isn't this totally against what the news is supposed to be? I thought the news was supposed to share what is going on in the world instead of shaping my opinions of it.

This man has eclepsed Ted Turners media empire by controlling Amer. Satelite T.V., Direct TV, Myspace, intermix media and he just bought The (historic) Wall Street Journal.

It has been well documented that FOX is not objective and they have "targets" to shape negative perceptions; Hillary, Al Sharpton and etc.

MY QUESTION FOR YOU:
1. Do you think that this type of agenda driven media monopoly censors the "Freedom of the Press"

the daily express has uncovered a new witness who backs kate mc cann's story that she shouted "they've taken her !, they've taken her !". now not being infront of all the evidence, i will not express my full opinion, but this appears to be a very strange reaction. i would think she was hiding or had gone walk about looking for mummy or daddy, or even got distracted by the sound of music coming from the restaurant.

if this is anyway is mean't to help kate, i think otherwise, what do you think ?

Just as the great President Reagan fired the striking air traffic controllers? I think he should be allowed to fire every one of them and then open up the doors for Mexicans to come in and work there for 3 dollars a hour! That would teach those libs and dems that America is tired of giving free hand-outs!
Who else agrees?

Why this damned fixation amongst Asian people with having fair skin?
I'm Black .. I'm not trying to lighten my skin to look white or whatever. It's weird this whole fixation and what is even more annoying is the absolute denial that it goes on. A news story was just on BBC News 24 about it. This skin lightening thing is a multi million dollar industry in India and although some Black people do the same thing [no one I know] it is nowhere near as prevalent as in India where kids are taught about the need for light skin from a very early age and are then smothered in skin lightening products.

So the police think that Kate and Gerry killed Madeleine and they believe that they will “escape justice” because there is no body.
http://www.dailyexpress.co.uk/posts/view/20075

So this is the “Arguido/a” concept: We think you did it, but we don’t have enough evidence to prove it. You now have 12 months to prove to us that you are innocent; and by the way you are officially gagged now; any attempt from you to speak to prove your innocence will put you in jail!

Utterly despicable statement!

ACCUSING WITHOUT PROOF???
Its basically a categorization of people into a particular negative slot without any logical / rational basis.

Most bigots spend their time instigating mobs into a frenzy of hate & despair...

Lindsay Ann Hawker - the 22 year old teacher who was murdered in Japan six months ago. Her parents have campaigned tirelessly to find their daughter's killer. Today Lindsay Ann Hawker's father [who is from Coventry ] is standing outside of Heathrow Airport handing out leaflets to passengers flying out of the UK. They have also travelled back and forth from the UK to Japan at their own expense to try and bring the killer to justice.

If they are lying to protect the McCanns are they as guilty and despicable as Maxine Carr was for giving Ian Huntly a false alibi. Or are they gulible fools being taken in by the McCanns whom they believe could not have harmed their daughter?

Regardless of whether they did it or not ( All you mugs who keep on saying they must have been involved "somehow" say what this actually means - that they killed her and lied about it), they are guilty of the worst kind of smug middle-class parenting. Buying into the idea that if you give something a different name that it makes it different. Believing that the rules didn't apply to them or their smug insufferable friends. They left their pre-school children alone in an unlocked building because they wanted to go out on the piss. Call it a tapas bar all you like - for all intents and purposes it's a pub. They left their tiny children home alone because they wanted to go out and get pissed and as a direct result one got kidnapped, and killed. That's the long and short of it. So even if they did'nt do it, how can you be "pro McCann?
