That article says much the same as every other thing I've managed to find out on this - the only 'factual' bit is the mention of a few names. There is no report of arrests of hundreds of people anywhere. Just because someone comes up with a 'bright' idea doesn't mean it'll fly. I still have grave doubts that it did fly but it may have glided for a short distance till it went further up the bureacratic dung heap till it got to Mason who had enough sense to see it was a crock of an idea. Good news, Bad news: the Good news is that the L.A. Times gave their source as the Congressional Quarterly. Bad news is that the Congressional Quarterly is a private publication, that requires a subscription to read it :O)) And those 3 names given, and which are as close as I can get to any 'facts' about humus buyer targetting, are the same ones mentioned everywhere and are probably also all from exactly the same 'source'. There just is not enough 'evidence' to claim that anything of the sort happened. The telling point is that no American doubts the report. I think that we are all screwed. I'm hoping that's just me. LOL. That isn't saying a lot Billy. Americans seem to be more paranoid about their own government than any other group of people on earth except for those of the old Soviet Union - perhaps a hang over them the 1950s |

Since our first poll in June 2002, we have interviewed in depth about 110,000 people in 50 countries. I believe it is fair to say we have been the first and foremost chronicler of the rise of anti-Americanism in the 21st century. Indeed, the headlines of our annual reports on America¹s image tell the story: € December 2002 * America¹s image slips, although goodwill towards the U.S. remains € June 2003 * U.S. image plunges in the wake of the Iraq war € March 2004 * No improvement in U.S. image, some worsening in Europe € June 2005 * U.S. image improves slightly, although still negative in most places; and anti-Americanism is becoming increasingly entrenched € June 2006 * Show little further progress * in fact some back sliding. Even as the publics of the world concurred with the Americans on many global problems. ----- What's with Australia these days, drowning in the east, and burning up in the west? -- - Billy http://english.aljazeera.net/watch_now/ http://peace.mennolink.org/articles/...acegroups.html http://english.aljazeera.net/indepth...130964689.html |
