Yet again you show your failure to grasp that incest aned homosexuality are two different things. As there are survivors of incest here, the fact you are willing to make jokes about it in furtherance of your campaign against equal and fair treatment of homosexuals is very telling. Have you loved your enemy yet today Yeru?
Did I say anything about incest? I said I wanted to Marry two sisters, not that I wanted two sisters to...well, anyhow, if two adults are related, even if they are siblings, why not allow them to marry? There's actually more of a history and precedence for that than there is for gay marriage. I love my enemy every day...sometimes I feel I married her.

Simon,
If they report only chaos, and don't report on some of the good things happening there, I call that biased. If they're headlines are still about Abu Gharib and you have to get 10 minutes or 10 pages into it to get news about Nick Berg...it's biased. If it's not reporting that the investigation into AG started in January, that Congress knew about it six weeks before the CBS show, it's biased.

Lynching or Suicide it's horrible...but worse if it is a lynching. I'd like to say that kind of thing doesn't happen anymore, but it does. If it IS suicide, I hope people don't try to make it into a lynching for political reasons. If a lynching, still don't politicize it, but hunt down the killers...maybe hanging should be brought back in DP cases.

Simon,
My personal recommendation is that you look at a VARIETY of News services with a VARIETY of view points. With the exception of AL Jazzera all the News services you mentioned have a left or extremely left view, and the BBC is no longer the standard reliable it once was. A J presents a biased view point period, though it's one of the best that the Arab world has to offer, it's still biased...SOOOO, look around, include bits of SKY, FOX and others with your intake.

Nice try though ThiChi but I think I'll stick to the BBC, CNN, Reuters, NBC and Al Jazeera to find out what is going on over there and not some bogus Republican propaganda, however "well intentioned" the person behind it may be.
Those five news sources you've named are the most UNRELIABLE and BIASED that exist Simon...and later you say you seek the truth? You've learned nothing from your experience as a JW and are now getting your news from the Watchtowers and Awakes of the News World. Nice move.

no information on where it's come from yet - sounds "home made".

It's gotta be anything except that Iraq really did have WMD, right Simon? I mean, after all, we've secured some 50 or so of the known 200+ ammunition storage sites, and investigated exactly ZERO locations similar to those in which Libya hid it's WMD...such a thorough search surely means that there are no WMD.

Simon,
It was "Jerry Rigged" to explode as an IED, the round itself was actually quite complicated. It's a bianary device which needed to mix two chemicals together to produce the explosion. Did anyone mention the Mustard Gas shell found two weeks ago?
