Current Events - December 2007

We read that the Portuguese Police are to scrutinise all of the serial child neglecting gang 'Tapas 9's mobile calls made on 3rd May, including using triangulation to detect their whearabouts on the day. Its a shame that their children were not electronically tagged so the distance between parents and children on that day could be better established.

Will we see justice at last early in the New Year ?

The 11am news closed it's morning segment with reports that would be featured in the 4pm show... One of those were that there is a dog disease going around (and how it could affect humans). I missed the 4pm show and can't find the report on abcnews.com... My dogs have become ill and I can't help but put the two together. Did anyone watch the news?

According to Reuter on Yahoo news of the 19th Dec. 2007, 3 "suspected terrorists" were released from a torture camp after being held for over 4 years and tortured, one was blinded from the beatings. They were never charged with anything so I assume they are innocent. These 3 men were British subjects and only after intervention by the British government were they released. I wonder how many more "terrorist suspects" are still held in the Guantanamo Torture Camp and how long they have been held without being charged and how many of these torture camps are scattered around the world.

The CIA destroyes torture videos and tries to cover it up.

The US denies it uses torture during interogation and condems it, but these tapes prove that this is all lies.
Why?
And why does the US think it can do this, yet still act like it is fighting for freedom and is the 'good guy'?

They said they would. Why is Bush playing games with American lives, if not the entire world. If Russia does launch, we'll have WWIII. What is Bush up to? Why is he provoking Russia?

"There may be some truth in that if the Arabs have some complaints about my policy towards Israel, they have to realize that the Jews in the U.S. control the entire information and propaganda machine, the large newspapers, the motion pictures, radio and television, and the big companies, and there is a force that we have to take into consideration."

On one hand they expect the cops to take the fall for using them, and on the other they market this sh*t like it's lipstick.

Two teachers have been suspended from a school in Kent over claims they tied up a student's arms and legs.
Folkestone Academy said it was alleged the sixth-form pupil was bound and left on the floor for several minutes in an end-of-lesson "prank" in November.
A letter to parents said staff were told in December about the incident.
"Although this incident may have been intended to be good humoured, the academy sees the alleged behaviour as totally inappropriate," it said.

your views on this, is it just another over reaction

Jesus said,"Come to me, all you who are weary & burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."
