So much for the six-party nuclear disarmament talks. Boy-oh-boy, Bill's going to get a spankin' from Hillary when he gets home.

The secret prisons are now empty, Panetta said. The agency has taken no new prisoners since he became director in February, he said, and the agency is preparing to decommission the prisons permanently.

Save USD4M to guard empty prisons? This guy Panetta has a lot on the ball.

Under whose administration did said attacks occur again?

President Clinton wins with the most attacks REPEATED during his administration.

"where a 38-year-old man was sleeping with his companion"

Obviously, doing the horizonal bop.

"Companion," is it?

She has more experience catching fish than dealing with foreign policy or national affairs. Talk about a rocketing ascent.

This is journalism, is it?

Texas executes Mexican-born murderer.

“I’m sorry my actions caused you pain. I hope this brings you the closure that you seek. Never harbor hate,” Jose Medellin said to those gathered to watch him die.

Reasonable chap.

Is this the latest Iraq news?

“When my guards tried to arrest him, he detonated his car. Seven people were killed, including five civilians,” he said

This is some quality reporting. Good to see that JT hasn't slipped any lower.

U.S., Iraqi Forces Quell Violence Throughout Iraq

As usual, one has to read from the end of the article, backwards, for it to make any sense.

I'm starting to wonder if these news reports are from the pre-surge period. My sources in Iraq are enjoying ice cream. Lots of it.

I want them to get an education because they were duped into joining an idiotic war for all the wrong reasons,

How odd. Many state universities don't want recruiters anywhere on campus. Perhaps this is because military members get some real education in the real world. The professors, who have never had a real job, quake at this thought. Imagine the challenges to their Leftist pap.

“When it comes to Iraq, it appears that money is no object for President Bush,” said the chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee, Sen. Robert Byrd, D-W.Va. “Yet when it comes to important priorities here at home, he turns into Ebeneezer Scrooge.”

(cough)

Sen. Byrd sometimes claims that he is in favor of fiscal restraint. However, the senator currently has more than 30 public works named after him - seriously undermining his pleas for budget responsibility. http://www.cagw.org/site/PageServer?pagename=news_byrddroppings

Yet another AFP editorial. When was the last time one saw a Medal of Honor recipient grace these pages?

Chiroux is an aberration of the American fighting man and typical fodder for the Leftist Media.

If I can have two daddys then why not three daddys?

Ever wonder why the kibbutz failed?

Note: Gays can marry as long as it is within the confines of the law, just like all people in all countries.

I cannot marry my brother, nor would I want to.

How queer this is since 36 million Californians voted to keep marriage defined as a man and a woman. Activist judges overturned this as they know better. It doesn't matter what the public thinks or votes for.

Why can't 14-year-olds get married?

This is a campaign speech. That is all.

She walked in alone, where the hell was the guy who knocked her up? Someone, at that stage of her pregnancy, should have been with her at all times or at the very least had a method of communication.

Lots of unmarried, single women go to a sperm bank for artificial insemination so they can be a single mom. With role models like this, well, who needs a guy? A man, fish, bicycle, you know the old saw.

That aside, with all the "sex education" in U.S. schools (chuck the science and biology) how come this young woman doesn't know to tie off the umbilical cord? At least she brought the placenta to the hospital but that was by sheer dumb luck.

Hakamada, now 72, has spent decades alone in a cell. His family says his mind has sharply deteriorated, and he frequently makes no sense when he speaks.

Case closed.

U.S. and Iraqi forces have waged street battles with Shiite militias since late March in Sadr City, the power base of radical Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr and his Mahdi Army militia.

A broader picture of activity in Sadr City:

http://www.defenselink.mil/news/newsarticle.aspx?id=49763

A five-member Iraqi delegation was sent to Tehran this week to try to choke off suspected Iranian aid to militiamen.

Suspected? What part of "Made in Iran" on weapons found in Iraq does the MSM not understand?

"the original inhabitants, the Palestinians"

There was never a country, ever, in the history of the world called "Palestine." Notice that the article is about a country called "West Bank."

Who will urge to stop the rockets launched into Israel?

Who wrote the first paragraph? One of the clown contributors?

(Oh, didn't make it to the end of the piece?)

World News? Doesn't JT have an America-vert category on their site?

http://www.aphis.usda.gov/newsroom/hot_issues/bse/background/bse_trade_ban_status.shtml

Animal fats/oils certified with maximum insoluble impurities of less than 0.15% in weight (bovine origin animal fats imported for animal consumption must also come from animals that passed FSIS inspection, and must not be derived from the head, distal ileum, spinal cord, or vertebral column of cattle of any age).

"Must not be derived"? Good luck.

Bovine semen is allowed without BSE certification as of 12/26/03 per MAFF instruction to Japan's ports.

Looks like it's a meat issue. (Take a look at your dog's chew.)

The U.S. military on Friday blamed al-Qaida in Iraq for a double suicide bombing that killed at least 35 people during a wedding procession through a crowd of people cheering the bride and groom in a town northeast of Baghdad.

Is the MSM saying that OBL did not issue a video claiming responsibility for this heinous act?

There are a lot of Japanese-owned cattle ranches in Australia. (I see the light bulb over your head.) Zero defects in Aussie beef shipments to Japan is simply unfathomable. Add to this the fact that mistakes in various other meat shipments to Japan (e.g. assorted South American countries) just don't seem newsworthy.

A second light bulb, I see.

Basically, it's creating even more animosity towards American forces.

Heresay and balderdash (and six o'clock MSM news 30-second sound bites). It is simply not true.

Shiite militiamen, mainly from Sadr’s Mahdi Army, have fought fierce street battles with U.S. and Iraqi forces since late March in the Sadr City district of Baghdad.

And they are getting their butts kicked. What is so difficult about admitting this?

Japanese diplomats have asked the police to give Japanese tourists better protection from criminals. The embassy's statistics showed there were 1,646 criminal cases with Japanese tourists as victims last year, and another 1,271 cases in the first six months of this year.

Thailand.

For some reason the Japanese tourist seem to be a magnet for trouble.
