And that control is being exercised, no thanks to your carping, Captain Obvious.

I can only hope we're that competent. There is a difference however between concealing operationally sensitive information and suppressing the reportage of the discovery of a bombs in NI to make Tony Blair look good, which was the nonsense I was disputing.

You know damned well that's the exception and is being investigated and prosecuted. It's easy to sit back and say nobody should be committing attrocities Captain Obvious, (is that the kind of insight that earned you a professorship?). When you suspend all judgement and pretend there is some kind of equivalence you play right into the hands of Bin Laden and his butchers. PERIOD!! (woohoo)

There are atrocities being carried out by both sides. That is a pathetic cop-out. Your moral equivalence is disgusting. It is absolutely obvious to anyone that Al-Q is planting bombs to mame & murder innocents in vast numbers, in Africa, Indonesia, America, Iraq and anywhere else it can extend it's influence to. To equate that with anything on the other side takes an act of will. The murder of innocents is the M.O. of these barbarians.

Take your appeal to your own authority and shove it mate. You've made an idiotic claim about a coverup that being there offers you no insight into.

It's only nepotism if you marry her

It wasn't in the script.... They hijacked ATC functions and put the aircraft in holding patterns. They even instructed one to land after messing with the AGL (or some shit). Good movie, if I knew anything about ATC it'd have ruined it I'm sure.

Gee, I wonder why she's not interested in this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morning_after_pill

The thin end of this wedge is getting good & fat. Your AAD cutter will be next.

So you're saying there's a BBC conspiracy to make Blair look good? Would you like some cheese with that whine? Never here of a DA notice? News from NI often is restricted under a DA-Notice 05 or DA-Notice 01 As for the cheese maybe you can put it back in your ears close you eyes and keep on humming. That's an easy thing to claim, you could write any old shit then claim it's because a DA notice covered it up. You have in fact heard about these bombs, what complete bollocks. And of course there are bombs and there are bombs. In NI Eniskillen's were rare and the backlash was counter productive. Dog bite's man, even if you won't admit it.

Eyewitness: http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/world/2007/06/30/sot.glasgow.smitten.eyewitness.cnn An islamo-fucktard attempted bombing. I'm just thankful that these degenerate bastards were too stupid to rig a working bomb.

I think it is a Texas Rat Snake, non venomous. It probably thought it had scored an egg. http://www.texassnakes.net/TexasRat.htm

Those are two distinct issues, additionally the Iraqi association with and shelter of terrorists is on record even if they had no known operational connection with Al Qaeda. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6d7fHvHXeiQ Contrary to the misleading impression you'd like to convey Amazon provided NO examples of anyone meeting your criteria, she simply ignored your second accusation and as your anticipation of a response admits, exaggerated the first.

Yep - he's a rock - the one on top of my rock garden. Doesn't change, doesn't talk, doesn't do much of anything. I thought that Peter was the rock.

I find it ridiculous that lawyers are calling for him to be disbarred because the case has harmed the image of the American legal system. The fact that it was possible is what harmed the system. The financial devastation caused by this and the routine financial intimidation & brinkmanship ROUTINELY used by lawyers with no case in the US is something all these scumbags know about and employ. Now all of a sudden they demand disbarment. Would the case have been any less ruinous for the defendants if the figure hadn't been so high and it hadn't hit the headlines? What if he'd sued for $30k for a pair of trousers would they have been forced to settle like millions of other Americans? And doesn't their business insurance cover this where all of us routinely pay for this in the end. It is just amazing the rank hypocrisy of lawyers calling for disbarment. Why the hell was this allowed to go on for 2 years? All these weasels lobbied like crazy and fought tooth & claw against tort reform for their own self interests and they're suddenly outraged, because a guy draws attention to the abuse of power that they ROUTINELY engage in as they polish their veneer of "ethics".

Does it make you feel superior to accuse another skydiver of racism because you don't agree with his politics? It's pretty low, and so is the gutless way you make the accusation without a scintilla of evidence. "Compare and contrast". Taught in school as the way to illustrate the existence of a double standard. Funny how the people most upset about the Duke case are, for the most part, those that condoned the detention without charge of Padilla, and the Gitmo detainees. And this has what to do with skin color? . Coincidence - pure coincidence One would hope anyone who professed to be trained in science would understand the inherent weakness of making vile allegations based on anecdote and fueled by your own political leanings. My anecdote is at least as weighty as yours, at least one of them must be coincidence but the contradiction suffices to refute your race baiting attack. You've gone out of your way for several days to make baseless allegations of racism repeatedly in several threads. You have a problem. Maybe you're used to that kind of cheap intimidation working on the kids on campus but it reflects poorly on the race baiter around here.

The same people also objected to prosecuting Ramos and Compean illustrating how hollow your race baiting attacks are.

Remember, she's a scouser, so relatively speaking it's true.

You refuse to hold the appropriate people accountable for their actions as you put on a show of pretending to do exactly that. Muslim terrorists are inflicting and perpetuating most of the slaughter of innocents in Iraq. Moreover the U.S. response to attacks by illegal combatants disguised as civilians adds increased risk to civilians caused directly by the illegal combatants IMHO. Left wing itallian journo-Divas be damned.

When I heard this story over the pond it never mentioned she was a scouser. Somehow now it all makes sense, as does the light sentence. It's just normal behavior there. In California I think this might have qualified as reckless mayhem earning her 25 to life. The headlines could have been better if she'd choked to death on the detatched organ, so I view this scenario as a lost opportunity more han anything else. In a parallel universe people around the globe smiled in astonishment upon reading that story.

If I interpret your posts reasonably at face value as you snipe at the coallition efforts with cynical remarks then you have yourself to blame for the impression you create. I offer no apology, I have no crystal ball, your posting history is what it is.

It pales in comparrison to the bodycound of innocents deliberately and cynically racked up by the butchers you can't wait to hand Iraq over to.

Um, I actually agree with Kallend, the SI system is superior. But, since you asked... Supplying the link to a calculator / reference defeats the lesson of actually finding the conversions yourself, but since you agree with him... I find google works much better for unit conversion, for example try google searcing "4.5 furlongs in rods"

This is a political forum, Christians in the USA try to influence politics based on their faith, this can and does run afoul of the constitutional protection from such interference. Christian ideas are therefore under scrutiny. It is also self-indulgent nonsense to call words in a forum critical of aspects of philosophy and religion an attack. Ideas are fair game, especially around here. If arguing that the 10 commandments be taken down in a courthouse is an attack on Christians then arguing that they be put up is an attack on atheists, agnostics, every other faith in the country and the constitution. People with political influence assuming people are immoral based on NOTHING but their deviation from THEIR beliefs is a problem and one very worthy of critique. Especially when the statistics show clearly that the prison population has vastly disproportionately FEWER atheists than Christians.
