Antiwar.com had a slew of great links today, as usual:
- Israeli soldiers executed five of Arafat’s police officers, gangland-style. They each got a steel-jacketed tranquilizer to the dome while they were on their knees. At least that’s what the blood splattered against the wall at three feet high suggests.
- Don’t always trust what they tell you in the war on terror:
Downing Street said al-Qa’ida was using chemical weapons: it was wrong. The Pentagon said Saddam Hussein was to blame for the anthrax attacks on the US: it was wrong. - Turkey considers Kurdish language broadcasts which have been illegal for decades. The European Union has made this a condition for Turkey’s entry into the EU.
- Afghanistan is the Pentagon’s playground for their new killing technology. We have to invade someone every few years to make sure we can still kill effectively. Your tax-dollars pissed away. When will they end military welfare.
Our beloved Google has some competition in the search business. It’s called Teoma. We’ll see. Here’s a story about it at SFGate.com. It couldn’t find my name anywhere on the internet so I’m not impressed yet although according to that article the more advanced search capabilities won’t be unveiled until tomorrow at 5pm eastern.
Well, they had my name in there…but until they get a cool taskbar, let Google rule.
Ok now, but for you to be philosophically consistently honest you must NEVER call upon a governmental agent with a gun to protect you or take a report or you would be in serious danger of being hypocritical and I know you don’t want to be a hypocrite….right chrissie?
Neils, Not quite sure I understand what you mean. Government agent types don’t have to be dishonest and corrupt. It just so happens that this is often the case. There is nothing about government itself that has to be abusive it has just worked out that way 99.9% of the time.
Not quite sure what I mean?! Sure…Then if it’s 99% of the time in your vastly experienced eyes then 99% of the time if you, call the cops, or the FBI to report a corrupt cop or a marshal you would get corruption, according to your formula, Right?….So then pristine, ever clean you, wouldn’t ever (at least 99% of the time) participate in that process..Right? Or does your “attitude” create a protective shell around you and if the rest of us could just reach your level then we too would not have to factor in the mundane physical.
