Within hours of Madeleines disappearance the McCanns began making calls to their family and friends to inform them of the "abduction". They told these friends that the shutters on the window had been jemmied and that the doors to the apartment had been locked. These friends when speaking to the press drove this point home to the reporters, four independant people repeating what they had been told by the McCanns. Later, when the PJ revealed that there was no sign of a break in the McCanns changed their story and said that the doors had been left open. Why did the McCanns lie to their friends? Heres a link that details the whole thing.

The USA has imprisoned men in Guantanamo concentration camp for 5 years without charging them with any crime, and now has decided to release some, 4 of whom are British.

How can any civilised nation lock and man or woman up for 5 years for no reason at all, is it not a modern travesty that future generations of Americans will hang their head in shame and want to put behind them ?

When is the US going to learn from those shootings, whether in a school or a mall or anywhere else for that matter, that they need to ban guns? How many more senseless deaths are needed?

Reporters have focused on DP's lawyer, Joel Brodsky and have found that:
Among other incidents, they found several police reports over the years, including three domestic calls, one involving a SWAT team responding to Brodsky's Wilmette home.

According to a report of the Sept. 2, 2002, incident involving a "suicidal person," Brodsky's wife, Elizabeth Brodsky, told police "Joel Brodsky was in the house armed with a shotgun."

He had gone to his car to get a shotgun, police said. Elizabeth Brodsky "screamed at [her daughters] to get their shoes and leave now," the report said. "Mr. Brodsky exclaimed, 'That's right. You leave, get out of here, now I'm going to do it right and blow my head off with this shotgun.'"

No one was arrested.

In 2004, an Illinois disciplinary board suspended Brodsky's law license for three months after he signed a dead man's name to close the inactive bank account of a client's estate, public records show. Brodsky signed the dead man's name

so many people get angry about sports players gambling on a game.....

How is it that more people aren't irate about the fact, that many people who are directly involved with this war on terror, are profiting from it?

People within Halliburton, the oil industry, hired mercenaries and many other people are taking untold billions from American taxpayers as a DIRECT profit from this war in which our soldiers are dying?

I truly don't understand this. Maybe people just don't make that connection?

I belive that if every one had a gun in this country, the shootings would go way down, i mean, when these people go into public places and open fire, they knows that more than likely no one else has a gun, but i'd bet that if they knew everyone else had a gun, they would think twice about it because they would maybe shoot one or two people before being shot.... what do u think???

I know Late Night on NBC is airing re-runs due to a writer's strike. That's all I've heard. Can someone fill me in on why they're on strike, when it started, which shows are being affected? Is there a site or report on this I can read anywhere? What's happening. I'm saddened, any predictions on how long it will last too?

Please provide any info you can. Thanks! Any help is greatly appreciated.

I miss new SNL's and Conan's!

I think we could have listed the victims and even talked about them as individuals, but not gave the name of the gunman. I feel that by giving his name in the media, it will encourage others to follow his path. He even stated that he would be famous. If we take that away from them, do you think it would stop some of the killings?

This is really worth reading long as it is.

Yahoo has a story on this too today, basically about the retaliation people are taking against this woman for what she did:

http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/capress/071206/technology/technology_internet_suicide

Basically this woman, mother of a girl who was friends with this teenager, drove this teenager to suicide by pretending to be a boy who liked this girl, then dumping her. What kind of sick person would do that then claim they are innocent?

I don't think I blame people for sending the linch mob. What she did is horrible.

Bad enough cyberbullying exists but for a parent to do this. How can she even claim any defense is beyond me.
