While Bhutto's assassination was a terrible thing, I have to admit that when she went
back to Pakistan for the purpose of again running for office my first thought was she
would most likely get herself killed. She must have known that too so it's possible
she accepted herself as a martyr for her country. Almost immediately upon her return
a suicide bomber struck her motorcade and killed 140 people. Now this, and people
are dying by the hundreds because of her death. In hindsight what good did her
return do for the people of Pakistan but bring them chaos and death?
According to an L.A. Times article, "her double stint as prime minister was at best a
mixed bag, dragged down by allegations of massive corruption and criticism of her
lavish lifestyle."
The United States, IMO (admittedly not worth much), has nothing to apologize for in
trying to promote peace between the two parties and bring stability to the country,
unless they knew it was just another hopeless attempt to bring peace in an area of
the world that seems to thrive on hostilities and bloodshed....AAC

12/31/2007: Security News Brief: "Big Brother" in the UK Worse than
generally known: USA Next?
Digital speed cameras which capture drivers smoking or eating at the
wheel are being introduced nationwide in a new move to hammer
motorists.
Drivers will also face fines, bans and even jail for infringements
such as driving without a seatbelt, using a hand-held mobile phone or
overtaking across double white lines.
The hi-tech DVD cameras, which have instant playback, will also be
used to provide photographic evidence against those eating sandwiches
or rolling-up cigarettes at the wheel.
These are now considered serious offences under new guidelines drawn
up for prosecutors.
The development will massively increase the number of fines and
prosecutions against normally law-abiding drivers for relatively minor
offences.
As well as being fined £60 and given three points on their licences,
motorists now face two years in jail if their actions are considered
to have been a factor in dangerous driving.

"Bin Laden issues warning on Iraq, Israel"
It is truly -- or somewhat -- amazing that so many people
unquestioningly BELIEVE:
1) Bin Laden's alive.
2) These periodic "videos" are "his" and "him."
3) This stuff is NOT the work of your WHITE HOUSE WAR CRIMINAL and
chums
-- to keep stirring the Republican POT OF FEAR!

12/28/2007: Pakistan: The Bird Flu Virus Is Now Human To Human:
The World Health Organization (WHO) confirmed on Thursday a single
case of human-to-human transmission of the H5N1 bird flu virus in a
family in Pakistan but said there was no apparent risk of it spreading
wider.
A statement from the U.N. agency said tests in its special
laboratories in Cairo and London had established the "human infection"
through presence of the virus "collected from one case in an affected
family."
But it said a WHO team invited to Pakistan to look into an outbreak
involving up to nine people, from late October to December 6 had found
no evidence of sustained or community human-to-human transmission. No
identified close contacts of the people infected, including health
workers and other members of the affected family, had shown any
symptoms and they had all been removed from medical observation, the
WHO added.
The outbreak followed a culling of infected chickens in the Peshawar
region, in which a veterinary doctor was involved. Subsequently he and
three of his brothers developed proven or suspected pneumonia.
