How come this has mostly disappeared from the headlines? Is it because people are sick of doom and gloom headlines or because its not really a threat or what?
Is another Spanish influenza type pandemic coming or not?

I am all for saving the environment and I do my fair share, but actions speak louder than words. This "do as I say" but "not as I do" attitude does not work. Gore still flies on private planes while he tells everyone else to fly commercial. He asks people to ride bikes, buy hybrid cars and walk while he drives in an SUV. He asks us to live in straw houses and conserve energy while he uses 100 times the normal amount of power in one of his 5 homes.

There are many respected scientists and think tanks that have asked Gore to debate but he continually refuses. His movie was full of false statements. Why is he afraid to debate the issues?

Alan Dershowitz, a man who has built his career on libel, now contends that the suffering of the Palestinians is justified by the Nazi inclinations of a Palestinian leader of the '30s. Wasn't Nazism incredibly popular in the US at the time? Weren't important figures like Prescott Bush, John D. Rockefeller and Henry Ford active supporters of the Nazi party? Aren't racist and neo-nazi organizations such as the KKK still prevalent in the US? Under Dershowitz premise, shouldn't the US offer some its land for the creation of a Jewish state?

There is talk of castration, but I think it is in their head not their testicles, anyway what about female paedophiles (the lesbian tennis coach in the news) they don't have testicles.
I know execution is barbaric but these people are pure evil.

Secret Justice Dept. Memos Effectively OK’d Torture
The New York Times has revealed the Justice Department under former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales issued a series of secret legal opinions effectively sanctioning the use of torture. The first opinion came shortly after Gonzales arrived in February 2005. Just months earlier the Justice Department had publicly declared torture “abhorrent.” But the secret opinion under Gonzales gave a green light to a series of harsh interrogation tactics including head-slapping, simulated drowning and frigid temperatures. At the time, outgoing deputy attorney general James Comey said the department would be “ashamed” when the opinion was publicly revealed. Less than one year later, the Justice Department issued another secret opinion declaring that no CIA techniques violated proposed laws banning “cruel, inhuman and degrading” treatment.

Bush Vetoes Expansion to Children’s Health Care
President Bush has followed through on a promise to veto a bill expanding health care to millions of low-income American children. On Wednesday, Bush quietly issued the fourth veto of his presidency on a measure expanding the State Children’s Health Insurance Program, known as S-CHIP. The bill would have spent thirty-five billion dollars over five years, funded by a tax increase on cigarettes. The White House said it would only accept an increase of five billion dollars.

What is the possibility that the McCann's have sold the little girl, black market to another couple?
It makes a lot of sense when you think about it.
Kate running in and screaming, 'They've taken her!' Their insistence and confidence that Madeleine is still alive. Her seeming sudden disappearance without affecting the twins.
Have they checked into the McCann's financial history to see if there may be a gambling problem or an outstanding debt?
I have to wonder if this is the only stone left unturned.

Or is it more bravado like when they said they would stay in Portugal to clear their names. or when they said they would take a lie detector test. I don't think for one minute that they will return willingly, otherwise, why hire a lawyer who is expert in stopping guilty people being extradited. Gerry says "bring it on" but it is more spin and bull. They are both crapping it, especially now that the British police think along the same lines as the Portuguese and are convinced that Madeleine died in the apartment. These are experienced, trained professional policemen, experts in their fields, not 3rd world idiots. They have nothing to gain from "setting up" the McCanns.

Does anybody know? PLEASE only educated answers! I'm sick of the pro McCanns grunts and stupid retorts, just like the McCanns, they never actually answer the question asked.

We read that the Portuguese Policeman who was 2nd in command of the McCann case has effectively quit. ill this mean that the Portuguese will decide to give up on the case and let the McCanns off the hook. 'Victory' for the McTeam, 'Victory' for the McFanns, but a great injustice of our time, and no justice for Madeleine.

If you a wealthy enough, and have wealthy backers can you buy your way out of justice ? is this going to turn out one of the great injustices of our time ?

Stike action again!

My husband was a postal worker for 13 years so I feel have some authority on this. He too was caught up in the strike action and was pressured into striking against his will, (for fear of repurcussions), he left, and still it goes on....

It is crippling small businesses, important post is not reaching people on deadlines, people who have used special or recorded delivery have wasted their money, and when they return to work they are only going to have to clear up the devastation they have caused.

Strike action achieves nothing and I fear will only split the countries support and turn a large majority of us against the workers.
