Another good news for all those eager to help their fellow Muslims brothers, for the first time they can do so, no need to burn cars, to go in streets to shout "death to jews" and some other wishful thinking, no need for any demonstration oustside your home.... For the very first time, stay home, grab your computer and credit card, click this link,
to find out everything you want to know about 1.5 million Pakistanis that have registered as displaced since May 2 (U.N. believes refugee crisis could be bigger threat than fight with Taliban) and donate to help them.
A strong start for the coming week,
Sri Lanka, not a real surprise, I have learned that Columbo's government has declined the offer of an international inquiry for the Tamil's civilian deaths in the conflict.... I must say that if the government had accepted, it would have taken me by surprise. It is said that India and China have cautioned the refusal of the independant inquiry.
So, I have one good news and a bad one. I will start with the bad one.I can see humans haven't changed, whoever they may be or look like, only interested if they are or their close family is involved....
Now the good news,It looks like that none of the alleged members of both Goverments that have cautioned this decision to refuse an inquiry have any Tamil's disapeared family members and won't be grieving because of this conflict in Sri Lanka in the coming days.

Kristie, you shouldn't apologise.... a lot of "francophones" have been forced to speak that language, for a many, many more than you can probably think of are not "native francophones".... more than 50% of the actual territories under the paris regime administration didn't speak french and fought for their language, some today are still struggling for it. 19th century the regime was very violent towards these communities and today still refuse to allow them to vote for the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages and the state denies them any rights on their land.
What the Canadians are doing for the Inuit, the paris regime refuses to do it for the Corsicans, the Basques, Breizh and others.

Well, Tamil's fighters have lost the very unequal military battle but now will the Tamil's people win the rights battle?
I will have a conversation with the UN Secretary to find out why the Tamil's were not worth even one Security Council meeting and what intend to do the Council to protect this minority, their culture, language and rights to access an economic activity now that I guess they will never have a land of their own....

Have some of the Speaker's "friends" trigger so much pressure over the size and nature of the interogation techniques that she felt she had to say these things? If it is the case.... would finding why give some information over her "friends".....have they evaluated negatively her relation with the previous administration?

I believe we have reach the top of the controversy, not only the "torture program" has only made two "victims".... a proof of the failure but on top of what it seems that Congress had not been informed that the two detainees who underwent the training torture program designed to find out what the Security Agencies personnel are doing that the "Bush administration" had lauched to inform the Congress about the techniques the agencies may be using had not volunteered to do so.
Think I got it right, this time but will ask Jack, Erika, Bill and Sean then I will check with Glenn and Anderson, would have asked Dick but was told he's on his way to Gitmo, very unfortunate, to be judged will appear in Megyn's court and then to the beach with Louise after a nice dinner in Sausalito. Politics.... no easy day!

You know what, "the full extent of the abuse of prisoners".... I guess ACLU could just tell the truth sometime rather than try to enter the political game.... sadly, it was discovered "too late" than anyone not in uniform on 09/11 was a potential "abuser" once in uniform and facing "combattant elements", none of the behaviors seen at Abu Graib and some other isolated cases (a lot of these men and women serving their country have been judged and are now in jail for a long time) would have taken place with GIs or Marines in charge at the prison but civilians caught on 09/11 by the desire to hit back without knowing how to react were exposed to the risk of to exercise that desire, among them reservists. Not all reservists are of course "abusers" but more than anybody else, being powerless that day has probably been a very difficult challenge, a lot of them ended dealing with on their own. Obviously, the outcome hasn't been healthy for everyone. Using this in the political arena is shameful.
I can see Lou is fine. I don't know though if you can say flip flop when first you take a political stand over what should be transparency and ethics that will drive your actions wherever it may apply (setting your principles) and second you praise efficiency when evaluating the negative consequences of a blind go ahead of a principle that wouldn't improve in anyway the administration action. Your principles can't be affected just by the way they look. Can they?

It was wrong to attempt to reach out to people using "guilt" they surely don't deserve that.... What's trying GE looks much better and I think people will love the Smart Grid when an effort is made to explain all the benefits the consumer can find in the project with letting them know that the transition will be smooth.

I guess Tamuls have catched up with Kurds and even won for now the title of the least enviable status.... Not everyone can have powerful friends... guess that will encourage Abkhasians and Ossetians to increase their ties with their savers....
Is it just me, or are some people thinking they can go ahead with some of their old projects recently... Teheran's helicopters bombing Kurds in Irak...., Tamuls peace treaty dead, bombings and no political process anymore....
