Image of bombers' deadly journeyI'm thinking that since the homicide bombers/terrorists have been identified the Brits should take a cue from the Israelis: bulldoze their houses....
Police have released a CCTV image of the four London bombers as they set out from Luton on their bombing mission.
They have also confirmed the names of all four men for the first time.
Mohammad Sidique Khan, 30, Germaine Lindsay, 19, Hasib Hussain, 18, and Shahzad Tanweer, 22, were pictured in Luton at 0720 BST on Thursday 7 July.
Three bombs exploded on the London underground at 0850 BST, and one on a bus at 0947. Fifty-five people died, including the four bombers.
The picture was released in an attempt to find out more about their final movements.
Peter Clarke, head of the Anti-Terrorist Branch, said: "The investigation continues on many fronts, but we have been very grateful for the contribution made by the public in response to our previous appeals.

Surely these bastards of the religion of peace (pahtooee) were justified in slaying zionist infidels.
whatever... I am rapidly losing any sympathy for arabs and muslims, especially arab muslims. I say we turn the IRA lose on them. Catholic terrorists against muslim terrorist, it would be a hell of a pay-per-view special.

Don't you know that when you're using a battery charger on a terrorist's scrotum, polarity is irrelevant?
I mean, when you're charging a battery it's a good idea to match poles, but hooking up a charger to a (sub-)human, to really fuck with their heads, go ahead and switch pos & neg.
But remember: it's not the voltage, it's the amperage that counts.
And direct current works better for torture than alternating current: more lethal amperage at lower voltages.

I have been waiting since January for this evening. Tonight is when the season premieres of:
- Stargate SG-1
- Stargate Atlantis
- Battlestar Galactica
all happen on the Sci Fi Channel.[/geek laughter]
UPDATE: It was a great three hours - even more if you caught the 'Sci Fi Friday' special before Stargate SG-1.
The inclusion of new characters in Stargate SG-1 is very appealing. Will they blossom into great characters? My opinion is that they will; it'll be awkward for a while, but they will.
I do not like what they're doing to Lt. Ford in Stargare Atlantis, but I'm hoping that the writers have a bigger purpose for this in mind in future episodes as I'm sure that this is a fragment of the story arc and that it'll come back together for something good.
Best line of the night

Instead of BSG, we had to watch DVR-ed episodes of Bridezillas.
|| Posted by Rob@L&R, July 17, 2005 07:41 AM ||Re: Ford
Earlier this year there was a rumor going around that they were reducing Ford's role from the "front list" to a recurring one. I don't remember whether this was given as a budgeting decision, or the writers didn't want the "Batman and Robin" thing as a running thread ("Gosh, Maj. Shepard, what's this?"), or the actor wanted out. With the Daedalus, its commander, and the mercenary/dreadlocked guy all being added, the budget question seems less relevant. Hopefully they'll use Ford to uncover a couple of new species and locations, before they resolve his problem.
And "resolve" should have been in quotes.

More Dictation?
It concerns some testimony given to a Senate Foreign Relations Committee on the topic of border security.
The man testifying was former Mexican Foreign Minister Jorge Castaneda and he made his point very clear: there can never be a 'secure border' without the help of Mexico and that help will only come when three 'conditions' are met:
- amnesty for all Mexicans living illegally in the U.S.
- the admission of some 5 million additional Mexican citizens to the U.S. over the next 10 years
- massive increases in U.S. aid to that country
How do you say 'kiss my ass' in Spanish?Oooh, I have a better idea: put the National Guard from California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas on the border with express orders to enforce the border, i.e., shoot anyone crossing illegally.
THAT will be harsh, but very effective. And it'll send a message to Senor Castenada: We don't need your stinking bad-jeez!!

|| Posted by Tetzman, July 15, 2005 03:32 PM ||(THAT INCLUDES YOU PRESIDENT BUSH!!!!)
Trying to appease these losers to the south of US is a big mistake. We should be dictating our demands, instead of even listening to some corrupt former minister of anything from Mexico. There is no such thing as a credible politician from Mexico! They're all dirty, and on the take to whatever self interests they may have. This is the reason they have the problems down there that they do! I have no beef with the people of Mexico, as long as they come here legally, and respect the laws of the USA!
I've got an idea--
How about a nice big security fence (a la Israel's) along the Southern border? Eh? Monitored of course by Guardsmen with live ammo.

United Nations Absurdity
Here's a glimpse into the *cough* workings of the United Nations and it's panel that was created to recommend how the Internet should be run in the future and we're talking Keystone Cops type mentality:
I love that part - '...Western countries that got on the Internet first gobbled up most of the available addresses'. Here's a clue alert: the Western nations MADE the Internet; you 'developing nations' need to get your shit wired first before you start dictating policy to the nation that created the freaking Internet.Damn....that's like Lichtenstein telling the United States how to manage it's space programs. Just beyond absurd.
Read More of "United Nations Absurdity"Can you imagine the Internet being controlled/administered by the United Nations!?! To log onto your ISP, you'd have to obtain an official statement that clears you to obtain any and all information from the Internet, including child porn which wouldn't be blocked since some nations are a little.....wimpy when it comes to cracking down on that stuff.
Any sites you might visit would have to be cleared by a sub-committee that will have reviewed all content and officially sanctioned it as it would not offend any/all people(s) that would also be logged onto the Internet.
Any comments that you'd like to make on anyone's blog would have to be run past a censoring group that will edit/omit any portion of your comment that's deemed inappropriate or hateful to any of the UN member nations that have their sticky little fingers in this technological pie.
I mean really - does anyone really want the freakin United Nations to adinister the Internet!?! Cause if you do, then it would have 'Mongolian Cluster Fuck' written all over it.
Sorry once again for dropping the F-Bomb, but this proposal has all the makings of a Greek tragedy and the phrase seemed appropriate.
All done with "United Nations Absurdity"?

Oh, and they released it FREE AND WITH NO ROYALTIES REQUIRED to the public in 1993. Please don't be selfish with a something that has been given to you free of charge.

You might be right about the Internet being created by CERN (I recall hearing/reading that somewhere...), but I wouldn't think that keeping the ever-so-wonderful United Nations away from it isn't 'selfish' any more that not letting the babysitter overhaul your transmission.
|| Posted by Mad Mikey, July 18, 2005 10:40 AM ||if I'm not mistaken, the United States created the Internet, CERN created the World Wide Web. The Internet dates back to the 1960's as a project of the Department of Defense. The WWW wasn't created until the 80's. There IS a difference between the Internet and the WWW-- they are not as interchangeable as people like to use them, and the WWW couldn't exactly exist without the Internet to run on.
Regardless of who created it, it's been United States businesess and entrepeneurs (Yahoo!, Netscape, etc.) that have made it the widely used/usable vehicle that it is. Realistically speaking, the United States is the most likely to keep it going in its current/intended form. the URL problem has been around for years, and it doesn't just affect third world countries, as much as they'd like to make it all about them.

Dane Takes a Stand
By way of Michelle Malking comes a great story of a Danish pizzeria owner who actively told French and German tourists that they were not welcome in his resturant.
For his stand on the War on Terror and his contempt for France and Germany, he was fined and now jailed for his opinion:
Bravo Mr. Bjerre!!Aage is now starting up an Internet-based business here; stop by and check it out.

Comments on Dane Takes a Stand
I find his behavior reprehensible. whether he agrees with a country's policy, it IS discrimination to refuse service to that country's citizens. Would we be cheering if service was refused to Jews by those who wish to see an independent Palestinaian state? How about refusal to serve Americans in anti-war countries.
|| Posted by ruthie, July 13, 2005 01:51 PM ||I find it interesting, and pretty disgusting that anyone would applaud this man's behavior. it is hateful and ignorant.
Ruthie, you have to remember that at least here in the United States practically ALL resturants have a sign hanging somewhere that states: We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone.
I don't know if there is such a sign in Denmark, but you have to remember that it is his resturant and he decides what customers to serve.
Just because a resturant is open to the public doesn't mean that the resturant is obligated to serve the public.
|| Posted by Mad Mikey, July 14, 2005 09:34 AM ||"...but you have to remember that it is his resturant and he decides what customers to serve."...Not a very good argument! As ruthie points out...What if he decided to refuse to serve black people...would your argument still hold?...I think not.
And no. There's no such signs in Denmark...there is "No shirt, no shoes...no service" signs in some resteaurants though

Karl Rove - Blabbermouth?
- The investigation is still chugging along, and
- I nor anyone else for all practical purposes aren't in possession of all of the facts.
But I will tell you something that occured to me this morning while watching the news: if it was indeed Karl Rove that 'outted' Valerie Plame, wouldn't those that are in the 'know' want to immediately narc him out? While I don't know about the Time magazine reporter, surely Judith Miller of The New York Times would prefer to bring shame upon the Bush administration and avoid jail, right?Like I said - it's just an observation that I made this morning. And in my opinion, Rove isn't some third- or fourth-rate White House slacker - he's quite the player in the political arena and as such, isn't going to do something as stupid as confide in the freaking media about such a sensitive item.
Opinion not valid in some states. See website for complete rules. Offer void where prohibited.
UPDATE: As I said before, the investigation is still on-going, but here is something to ponder since all of this information is in the public record.
YES I realize it is from the GOP, but the quotes are legitimate.

Comments on Karl Rove - Blabbermouth?
Have you forgotten exactly who Karl Rove is? He is definately not the political genius or beltway insider you see him as. Karl Rove is and always will be a small time political thug, just ask anyone that has run a campaign against him including fellow Republicans. Rove has a long history of dirty tricks and misusing the press. Didn't Bush 41 fire him for smearing a political rival by leaking info to Bob Novak? Nope Karl is just another mean spirited, ruthless, unethical, characterless, slimy worm of a man whose fifteen minutes of fame is finally over. While I do understand that by the letter of the law Karl didn't commit a crime the real crime is that he exists at all. By dragging politics down to his level he does a diservice to all Americans regardless of political philosophy.
|| Posted by rudgrl, July 13, 2005 10:40 AM ||Andrea, it's called a paragraph break and it's the literary equivalent of a pause for breath.
and we've heard all this before; Bush is Hitler, Cheney is Göring and Rove is Goebbels (or is it the other way around? We've been subjected to this bullshit for so long, I don't even think the lefties know anymore, just as long as they can get that Nazi comparison in, their point is made).
Right.
Have anything not based on your sick, twisted hatred of this administration?
|| Posted by Rob@L&R, July 13, 2005 02:00 PM ||The idea that a NYT reporter would sooner face jail than reveal that Karl Rove was her source is... curious, to say the least.
|| Posted by Pixy Misa, July 13, 2005 11:27 PM ||You got that right Pixy.
|| Posted by Mad Mikey, July 14, 2005 09:36 AM ||my feelings of Rove aside (I really don't like him), it IS curious that Cooper is talking about Rove as his source, yet Miller is still tight-lipped. her source is different, it has to be. If he's waived his anonymity, why would she go to jail for this? something just ain't right.
|| Posted by nathalie, July 15, 2005 09:36 AM ||It could be that Miller is sticking to her guns for the principle of the thing. I am troubled by that "outing" of Plume, and the charges of treason, but as a Constitutional (and Bill of Rights) Fundamentalist, I must support her right to keep her sources confidential.
One other consideration is: IF her source is KR, would you want Karl Rove on YOUR bad side??? I'd keep my lips locked, too!
|| Posted by ducjkens, July 17, 2005 01:15 PM ||Why do you suppose Karl Rove's mother commited suicide? Because she couldn't live knowing she had created the "evil genius"? Or did little Karl get so sick from living with a suicidal mother? Or was his real father's rejection of them both the real cause? Any thoughts?
