Where are the agents who should be bursting into the halls o' power to arrest these punks and ship them off to Gitmo? This is an outrageous display of hubris and disrespect, not only to the tax-payers whose property is being confiscated to perpetrate this fraud, but also to the servicemen and women being killed by their own government's ignorance and money.

The other item was the UN's report on its investigation into Israel's "offensive" in Gaza at the beginning of the year. Terming Israel's actions as "offensive" shows an immediate bias. It's these kinds of attitudes that strengthen terrorists - this overwhelming sympathy for criminals and killers.
