Politics & Government - 23 July 2007

It seems of late that Freedom of speech is going out the door. That we can say anything we want as long as we don't offend someone. You can speak your mind just don't let anybody here you. This seems to be a very slipery slope, any thoughts on this current trend?

If someone is wielding a weapon against a police officer, is the officer trained to shoot with the intention of killing the would-be assailant or with the intention of immobilizing the attacker?

Are the deaths that occur from this sort of thing generally accidental - i.e. with live ammunition do they shoot for the legs, or arms - or the head/ Chest?

Aren't we lucky to have a political watchdog who alerts us to things that are wrong with our systems? Mr. Moore is bright and articulate and knows what he's talking about, and we should appreciate his effort and listen carefully. Our health care system is seriously broken and we need to address the problem.

Don't Americans realize that they come across as "We know what's good for you, so shut up and stop resisting our plans for your country/world"?

I think my wife's ex may have in some way "bugged" our house. He has often said things to my wife that only she and I have spoken about in the privacy of our own home. We already discovered a keylogging program he installed on her old computer and friends of his has warned us that he might have placed some sort of eavesdropping devise in the previous house that we now occupy. Our funds are limited so we are limited to as much "do-it-yourself" as possible. Any advise?

Say you've changed your address with just about anyone you could imagine would be sending you mail, so you didn't file a change of address form but you're still getting a few pieces of mail here and there... is that considered mail fraud? and more importantly, can an individual charge you with mail fraud, simply because they're mad at you, because you didnt' file said change of address form

I mean they say the You Tube thing will change the debate somehow, but I have a feeling we will see the same ol' questions and get the same ol' stock answers. They will say we need to do this or that, dance around the questions without giving straight answers. So I think I'll watch it for entertainment purposes, like a game show, who can pander the African American vote the best. Tonight is about the black vote in South Carolina for the Democrats. I hope Joe Biden challenges Hillary to an arm wrestle.

What do you think?

BAGHDAD, July 18 — For more than a year , the leader of one the most notorious insurgent groups in Iraq was said to be a mysterious Iraqi called Abu Omar al-Baghdadi .

As the titular head of the Islamic State in Iraq , Mr. Baghdadi issued incendiary pronouncements . Despite claims by an Iraqi Interior Ministry official in May that Mr. Baghdadi had been killed , he appeared to have persevered unscathed .

On Wednesday, the chief United States military spokesman here , Brig. Gen. Kevin J. Bergner , provided a new explanation for Mr. Baghdadi’s ability to escape attack . Hold onto your hats because the man pictured above and the man who headed the Islamic State in Iraq - never existed { yes you read that right } .
