I want to know, I am concerned. I already know the Supreme Court already handed down indictments, so when is he going to stand trial?

You know I would say the old thing about getting the smartest people that come out for college to work for them, but in today's world I am sure that they have moved beyond that. Is it possible that they have people that look for different future agents in all categories of life. For instance if you where any extremely smart person, but you could only display that intellect on the computer do you think the FBI or CIA might show up at your house one day and ask you if you wanted to work for them? Give me your thoughts.

How absolutely disgusting it is to have charged a school teacher with insulting religion and inciting racial hatred. The teddy bear was named Mohammed by the school children in actual truth. Given that the name Mohammed pre-dates the birth of the prophet Mohammed, how can this possibly be blasphemous?

Remember how the media was reporting about the possibility of an Avian flu (more commonly known as Bird flu) epidemic spreading worldwide? Well, what happened? I was thinking about this yesterday and recall all the newspaper and magazine articles talking about it last year.

It would give them a sense of purpose, take them off housing lists, give value for benefit expenditure, stop them drug taking, vandalising property, robbing the elderly, reduce burglary and help bring order back to our broken society.

I suspect many will agree?

The power of America's "Jewish lobby" is said to be legendary.

Commentators the world over refer to it, as though it were a well-established fact that US Jews wield far more influence than their numbers (2% of the population) would suggest.

But this presumed influence is also a delicate issue in the US, and is rarely analysed.

How does the lobby work? Is its power truly legendary, or just a legend?

Two US academics, John Mearsheimer of the University of Chicago and Stephen Walt of Harvard, have set out to answer those questions, and triggered a firestorm of controversy as a result.

Their book The Israel Lobby and US Foreign Policy, which builds on a 2006 article in the London Review of Books, says the reasons for US support for Israel need to be explained. [Many critics] tried to smear us by either saying or hinting that we are anti-Semitic

Stephen Walt


Mearsheimer/Walt interview

America spends $3bn a year in largely military assistance - one-sixth of its direct aid budget - to help a prosperous, nuclear-armed country, and strongly backs Israel in negotiations on Middle East peace.

But according to Mearsheimer and Walt, the US gets remarkably little in return.

They reject the argument that Israel is a key ally in America's "war on terror".

On the contrary, they contend, US patronage of Israel fuels militant anger - as well as fostering resentment in Arab countries that control vital oil supplies.

saying they saw Drew loading a blue barrel big enough to fit a body inside. Stacey Peterson weighed about 100 pounds. What do you think about this?

http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/11/28/missing.wife.ap/index.html


They are searching the water for her, but wouldn't a barrel float? I would think he would have buried her in it instead of throwing it in the water?

Facts: A nieghbor reported saw Drew and another man carrying out a blue barrel after Stacy disappeared.

A relative says Drew asked him to help move a red plastic container that felt warm and weighed about 100 pounds after Stacy disappeared. The same relative claims that Drew left him sitting in a coffee shop with his cell phone and told him not to answer it. Drew had an errand to run. Whilst he was gone, lo and behold, the phone rang and it showed up as STACEY. (anyone with a cell knows how easily this could have been faked)

Why did Drew need help carrying a red plastic container if it only weighed 100 pounds or so?

Was the blue barrel empty and carried out when he knew there was a witness so that it provided a fake clue? While searchers are out looking for a blue barrel, he's getting rid of a red one.

This man thinks he is smarter than a fox but he is not. It's a game of cat and mouse and he will get caught.

When he referred to his wife as IT, I knew he killed her.

As an Englishman and owner of many major US based companies I feel I must ask this.
I own many Americans and they are very hard working people,but they struggle to speak English properly.In my opinion it would be fairer to them if we banned freedom of speech in the USA.There are some Americans who can speak English, but the ban would not include them.Anyone agree?

Christmas day in temporary housing & shelters in the UK. 83,962 in London alone. The goverment were petitioned to build an extra 20,000 social rented homes a year to help lift thousands of children out of homelessness and bad housing.

There are more than one million children who live in housing unfit for human habitation, which impacts on their health, education and future prospects, according to Shelter's own research.

Is it not shocking that, in the 21st century, there are thousands of children in Britain waking up homeless on Christmas Day and every other day of the year. We're not going forwards but backwards and this shouldn't be happening in the UK in the 21st Centuary

Here we are in 2007 and how many children are going to be in the same situation this Christmas?

Judt look at the panel of headline to the right of the story. The Mirror, a supporter of the McCanns cannot seem to decide what is going on. How is anyone else supposed to form valid opinion.

I guess also most of what the Mirror pronts is fed to them or made up by team McCann.

I can't imagine a British lawyer for a suspect in a crime being allowed to make such inflamatory remarks about another suspect publicly, can you? I can certainly imagine that a suspect might say such a thing, but surely a lawyer should be cautioning against such remarks not making them!!!

Am I missing something? Perhaps I just don't understand the Portuguese legal system...

How can this man make a living by exposing children publicly for their behaviour and baiting them in to an argument.

At the age of 14 a child is still a child and what happens to them in their childhood years has effect later on in life.

I can't believe that any show would allow minors to be open to the physiological effects that this type of show would have on them. Let the adults fight, bicker and make themselves look like idiots but don't take children on the show. Shame on the mother as well of the daughter. Not that I would go on the show but I would whack a chair round his head if he spoke to me like that.

I call for a ban on Jeremy Kyle

I'm sure most of the population in the UK know who Jeremy Kyle is and what his show is about and I can't believe that anyone in their right mind would agree to go on it.

Would you go on the show?

programme because he felt it gave too much weight to baseless accusations against the McCanns and their friends: "'We had an investigative team looking into the story for weeks. Our assessment was that the purported DNA evidence was weak and inconclusive, while so far as we could tell the supposedly significant "discrepancies" between the stories told by the McCanns' friends about the night of Madeleine's disappearance amount to very little indeed", and that as a result it "verges on the dishonest"?
