The Hutaree's or CCR (Colonial Christian Resistance), are no better than Al Qaida or the Taliban , Planning on killing police because they are doing their Jobs , not a very nice Christian thing to do .
Hopefully this is not a new trend we are heading into , I think we all are ready to stand up and fight for what is right , but this is not the way to do it !

An undercover law enforcement officer infiltrated a Christian militia group to gather evidence that led to FBI raids of the Michigan-based Hutaree group over the weekend.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Ronald Waterstreet told U.S. Magistrate Judge Donald Scheer this afternoon that the leader of the group, David B. Stone, 45, of Clayton wanted the undercover agent to prepare bombs to fight law enforcement officers, who the group regarded as enemies of the country.
During the ongoing detention hearing, which began around 1:15 p.m., for eight alleged members of the group, Waterstreet played an audiotape of Stone saying, “Now is the time to strike and take our nation back. … This war will come whether we are ready or not. We will fight alongside anyone that calls the new world order their enemy.”
Stone’s speech was clandestinely recorded on Feb. 6 in a vehicle as members of the group were headed to Kentucky for a meeting with other militia groups, the prosecutor said, adding that Stone’s remarks were part of a speech he planned to deliver at a gathering in Kentucky.
According to prosecutors, on the way back from Kentucky, Stone pointed out a Hudson, Mich., police officer who had pulled someone over and said: “We’re going to pop him, guaranteed.”
Someone else in the van mentioned the Hudson police department was a small force, prompting a reply from Stone: “We’ll pop every one of them.”

Rancher's Murder Exposes Deadly Gaps in Border Policing, Tancredo Says
Nothing to see here sheeple , moooove along now !
Mexico is a beautiful Country , the people are very friendly , you have nothing to worry about .
Foxnews
Former Colorado Rep. Tom Tancredo, reacting to the murder of a well-known Arizona rancher by an assailant authorities believe was an illegal immigrant, said violence on the border has spiraled out of control and the federal government seems powerless to stop it.
Tancredo, who has called on the Obama administration to deploy the National Guard in response, told FoxNews.com Tuesday that the killing shows how bad the situation has become for Americans living north of the Mexican border.
"The violence on the border is ... getting worse all the time," he said. "This is just a horrible manifestation of it."
Tancredo, a Republican who briefly ran for president in 2008, said gaps in the border fence -- and problems with the fencing that's already in place -- as well as ineffective border patrol are opening the door to the kind of violence that struck Robert Krentz.
The 58-year-old rancher, whose family has lived there for a century, was found slumped over his ATV on his ranch late Saturday. Footprints led back across the Mexican border, and local police say an illegal immigrant probably killed him.

A satellite photo from U.S. Customs and Border Protection shows a gap in the border fence near Krentz's ranch in southeastern Arizona. Tancredo said a small gap in the fence could be manageable, because border agents could "funnel" illegal immigrants into a small area and arrest them. But he said the gap by Krentz's estate is too big and law enforcers aren't working hard enough to catch people crossing over.
"There is not going to be any effective barrier on that border because there is no desire to stop illegal immigration," he said. "They're not using any human resources effectively."
Plus, Tancredo said, most of the fencing that is in place is not strong enough. It's either a single fence or, as Tancredo's Rocky Mountain Foundation noted, a short barrier meant to stop vehicles.
"It doesn't stop people," said Charles Heatherley, executive director of the foundation.
Lawmakers are calling on the administration either to send in the National Guard or to increase the number of Border Patrol agents in the area.
A spokeswoman for Arizona Sen. John McCain said Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano has not yet responded to the senator's request for the National Guard to be deployed.
I think Ms. Napolitano , is very busy .

Sold, raped and jailed, a girl faces Afghan justice
Nice justice system Afghanistan has .
Reading about situations like this girl is in , Makes a Good case For beating the Crap out of Islamic Radicals around the world !
I think These Judges that rule the way they do need to be imprisoned and raped while in there ,
Oh Sorry I forgot , They like that kind of thing !
(Reuters) - For the shy Afghan girl who sat quietly in a detention center with a pale blue headscarf, teenage rebellion had come at a heavy price: seven years in prison.
Engaged to an older man who had offered $5,000 to her father but in love with a boy she spoke to on the phone, the 16-year-old girl was hauled before a court that found her guilty of running away from home, according to an account she provided.
"I was engaged to an older man and I was not happy. He was painting his beard black," said the girl, who cannot be named because of rules protecting juvenile detainees.
Now pregnant, she said she did not know who the baby's father was, adding she had slept with both the boy she was in love with and the man she was engaged to. She also said she had been raped while in detention before being sent to the Kabul facility. The girl's story offers a glimpse into the nature of Afghanistan's rudimentary justice system, underscoring the uphill task ahead as U.S. President Barack Obama calls for improving the rule of law to match military gains in the country.
Obama has ordered an extra 30,000 U.S. troops to Afghanistan to beat back a resurgent Taliban, but officials also recognize progress on civilian issues like corruption, governance and justice will be essential to bringing stability to the country.
"I've seen travesties in court," said Kimberly Motley, a U.S. lawyer who interviewed 348 detainees, judges and others for a report on the juvenile justice system and also represents the pregnant Afghan girl in an effort to win her freedom.
"I've seen kids not even being brought into court for their hearing. Cases without any witnesses. And more times, no evidence than any evidence. And the verdict is always guilty."
Young girls usually fare the worst within the system, she said. In a deeply conservative Muslim society where women were banned from education during Taliban rule, anything from trying to escape a forced marriage to walking down the street with a boy who is not a relative can land them in jail.
NO-WIN SITUATION
About half the young girls locked up in Afghan detention centres are charged with "moral crimes" like running away from home and adultery, Motley said. At times, runaways are booked on the surreal charge of "kidnapping" themselves, she said.
Though Afghan law does not specifically cite moral crimes like running away as illegal, judges often use Article 130 that allows courts to "rule in a way that attains justice in the best manner" when faced with a case where other laws do not apply.

'Christian warrior' militia accused in plot to kill police
"We believe that one day, as prophecy says, there will be an Anti-Christ. All Christians must know this and prepare, just as Christ commanded."
A few more tidbits on the Religious Extremists Known as the Hutaree .
Is this what we have to deal with now ? religious nutjobs in the U.S. ?
Plotting to Kill Police , Muslims , Innocent people , With Pipebombs ?
WTF .
(CNN) -- Nine people federal prosecutors say belong to a "Christian warrior" militia were accused Monday of plotting to kill a Michigan law enforcement officer and then attack other police at the funeral.
A federal grand jury in Detroit, Michigan, indicted six Michigan residents, two Ohioans and an Indiana resident on charges of seditious conspiracy, attempted use of weapons of mass destruction, teaching the use of explosive materials and possessing a firearm during a crime of violence, U.S. Attorney Barbara L. McQuade and Andrew Arena, FBI special agent in charge, announced.
The five-count indictment unsealed Monday charges that since August 2008, the defendants, acting as a Lenawee County, Michigan, militia group called the Hutaree, conspired to oppose by force the authority of the U.S. government.
Attorney General Eric Holder called it "an insidious plan by anti-government extremists."
The group says on its Web site that Hutaree means "Christian warrior" and proclaims on its home page, "Preparing for the end time battles to keep the testimony of Jesus Christ alive."
In the Web site's "About Us" section, the group says, "We believe that one day, as prophecy says, there will be an Anti-Christ. All Christians must know this and prepare, just as Christ commanded."

Hitmen kill 10 youths in Mexico's drug-hit north
Yep the latest B.S. from the Cartels is to Kill Kids ! Though some of the teenagers are informants for the Cartels And they can make about 100 to 200 (U.S.) for ratting out an opposing Cartel member !
But the real young ones that is just insane !
And how much closer is the Mexican Government to stopping this ? THEY AREN'T .
(Reuters) - Suspected drug hitmen killed a carload of children and teenagers in northern Mexico in the latest of a rash of attacks on minors that have angered the public as drug gang violence spins out of control.
Ten youngsters aged from eight to 21 died on Sunday when gunmen opened fire and lobbed explosives at their pick-up truck after it sped through an improvised roadblock on an isolated highway in Durango state, in Mexico's "Golden Triangle" drug-producing region, the attorney general's office in Durango said.
Mexico's drug cartels are growing ever more brazen, and a spate of brutal attacks in recent weeks, including the murder of two Americans, are worrying Mexicans along with tourists, foreign investors and the United States, which sent a high-level delegation to Mexico City last week.
Mexican soldiers on Monday captured a suspect linked to the fatal shooting this month of an American employee of the U.S. consulate in the border city of Ciudad Juarez, her U.S. husband and the Mexican husband of a fellow consulate worker.
Interior Minister Fernando Gomez Mont said on Monday the rampant violence only showed the importance of keeping up the pressure with the government's army-led assault on drug traffickers. He waved off the idea of backing down.
"If some people think that events like those of the weekend where criminals slay youngsters in this cowardly way, if faced with these events Mexico is going to back off, they are mistaken," Gomez Mont told a news conference.

Seven arrested in FBI raids linked to Christian militia group From The Detroit Area
O.k. so it was not the Michigan Militia we all know and love , It was a radical christian militia preparing for Battle with the Anti Christ .
Wow , That is two Militant Christian groups that are in the news at the Same Time .
The Hutaree's ?(Stupid Ass name for a group) were making threats against Islamic groups , And selling Pipe bombs ( For possibly following through with those threats ?) It does not look good for anyone connected to this group of religious Whackjobs !
Not one to take the threat of Islam Lightly , but acting like a Radical islamist group does , is not the Answer .
Detnews.com
At least seven people, including some from Michigan, have been arrested in raids by a FBI-led Joint Terrorism Task Force in Michigan, Ohio and Indiana as part of an investigation into an Adrian-based Christian militia group, a person familiar with the matter said.
The suspects are expected to make an initial appearance in U.S. District Court in Detroit on Monday.
On Sunday, a source close to the investigation in Washington, D.C. confirmed that FBI agents were conducting activities in Washtenaw and Lenawee counties over the weekend in connection to Hutaree, a Christian militia group. Detroit FBI Special Agent Sandra Berchtold told The Detroit News the federal warrants in the case are under court seal and declined further comment.
Sources have said the FBI was in the second day of raids around the southeastern Michigan city of Adrian that are connected to a militia group, known as the Hutaree, an Adrian-based group whose members describe themselves as Christian soldiers preparing for the arrival and battle with the anti-Christ.
WXYZ-TV reports that helicopters were spotted in the sky for much of Saturday night, and agents set up checkpoints throughout the area. Witnesses told the station that it was like a small army had descended on the area. The Department of Homeland Security and the Joint Terrorism Task Force are also involved in the raids.
Mike Lackomar, of Michiganmilitia.com, said both The Southeast Michigan Volunteer Militia and the Michiganmilitia.com were not a part of the raid.
Lackomar said he heard from other militia members that the FBI targeted the Hutaree after its members made threats of violence against Islamic organizations.
"Last night and into today the FBI conducted a raid against homes belonging to the Hutaree. They are a religious cult. They are not part of our militia community," he said.
Lackomar said he was told there were five arrests Saturday and another five early Sunday. The FBI declined to comment.
One of the Hutaree members called a Michigan militia leader for assistance Saturday after federal agents had already began their raid, Lackomar said, but the militia member -- who is of Islamic decent and had heard about the threats -- declined to offer help. That Michigan militia leader is now working with federal officials to provide information on the Hutaree member for the investigation, Lackomar said Sunday.
"They are more of survivalist group and in an emergency they withdraw and stand their ground. They are actively training to be alongside Jesus," he said.
Sources from the Michigan militia community said one of the FBI raids took place Saturday during a wake for a Hutaree member who had died of natural causes. A Hutaree leader was arrested during the wake while at the same time agents were conducting raids at other locations.
The Associated Press is reporting that FBI spokesman Scott Wilson in Cleveland said agents arrested two people Saturday in northwest Ohio. A third arrest was made in Illinois on Sunday, a day after raids in northwest Indiana.

321 Civilians Killed in 2009 Congo Massacre
The LRA "Lords Resistance Army" , A militant Christian Army , and are no better than the Taliban or Al Qaida .
Chritianity with a little Mysticism and Witchcraft thrown in for Fun , Religious whackos eitherway , One more Example of how Religion plays such a big part in the Many world conflicts !

Foxnews
A human rights group says at least 321 civilians were killed by the Lord's Resistance Army in Congo in a previously unreported massacre in late 2009.
New York-based Human Rights Watch adds that at least 250 people were abducted by the rebels, including at least 80 children during the killing spree in the Makombo area of northeastern Congo.
Senior Africa researcher Anneke Van Woudenberg calls the massacre "one of the worst ever committed by the LRA in its bloody 23-year history."
Yet the massacre targeting at least 10 villages, which occurred from Dec. 14-17, 2009, went unreported for months.
The LRA is a Ugandan rebel movement that was pushed out of Uganda and is now in a tropical forest straddling the border between Congo and the Central African Republic.

A human rights group says at least 321 civilians were killed by the Lord's Resistance Army in Congo in a previously unreported massacre in late 2009.
New York-based Human Rights Watch adds that at least 250 people were abducted by the rebels, including at least 80 children during the killing spree in the Makombo area of northeastern Congo.
Senior Africa researcher Anneke Van Woudenberg calls the massacre "one of the worst ever committed by the LRA in its bloody 23-year history."
Yet the massacre targeting at least 10 villages, which occurred from Dec. 14-17, 2009, went unreported for months.
The LRA is a Ugandan rebel movement that was pushed out of Uganda and is now in a tropical forest straddling the border between Congo and the Central African Republic.
Answers are sought in killing of Muslim cleric
"Something is happening here that is an awful and dangerous thing," Smith said.
Yes Mr Smith there is something happening that is awful and Dangerous ,
It is called Radical Islam !
If you Don't want to Die , Do not pull out a gun and point it at a swarm of FBI Agents !

Leaders in the African-American community called for answers at a rally Saturday afternoon to the killing of a Muslim cleric during an FBI raid in Dearborn in October.
More than 200 people gathered at New Bethel Baptist Church in Detroit to protest the controversial shooting of Imam Luqman Ameen Abdullah, 53. Abdullah was the target of a two-year investigation by federal agents who said he was a radical Sunni leader preaching the overthrow of the government from his small mosque.
Abdullah was shot 21 times during the raid. FBI agents, in their official account of the event, said they chased Abdullah, then caught up with him and demanded that he show his hands. Instead, they say, he pulled a gun and fired it, prompting agents to fire back.
Abdullah's supporters contend it was an act of police brutality aimed at a black Muslim. Agents in the raid were searching the warehouse for stolen items they say Abdullah was using to raise money for the mosque.
Saturday's event, co-sponsored by the Detroit branch of the NAACP, the Detroit Coalition Against Police Brutality and others, was held in one of Detroit's most famous Baptist churches, a sign, organizers said, that Abdullah's death was of concern beyond the Muslim community.
The Rev. Robert Smith of New Bethel said he welcomed the rally -- and likened the killing to those committed by police during the civil rights movement and Detroit riots.

UN climate change chief Rajendra Pachauri says sorry — and switches to neutral
Attention EPA ,
In an interview with The Times, Rajendra Pachauri, chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, apologised for his organisation’s handling of complaints about errors in its report.
Errors ? Try LIES !
“I will try to clarify that I’m not prescribing anything as a solution. Maybe I should be more careful [in media interviews] in laying down certain riders. One learns from that and I’m learning.”
Really , You should be more Careful and Al Gore should also .
If there was a way to calculate all the money spent on the lies of Global Warming , by way of increased Taxes , increased fuel costs , and time wasted by governments spinning their wheels to keep up with a completely False Idea , I wish it to be done .(And there are many more wastes of money , I can't think of them all )
And the results should be divided up between the Conspirators of Global warming so as to repay the Money to all the Governments and the People !
We have been paying for these lies for years and it is beyond time to stop .
Timesonline
The outspoken chairman of the UN’s climate change body is to adopt a neutral advisory role and has agreed to stop making statements demanding new taxes and other radical policies on cutting emissions.
In an interview with The Times, Rajendra Pachauri, chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, apologised for his organisation’s handling of complaints about errors in its report.
He also apologised for describing as “voodoo science” an Indian Government report which challenged the IPCC’s claims about the rapid melting of Himalayan glaciers.
But Dr Pachauri, 70, rejected calls for his resignation and insisted he would remain as chairman until after publication of the IPCC’s next report in 2014.
He claimed he had the support of all the world’s governments and denied that, by remaining in post, he was undermining the IPCC’s chances of regaining credibility with the public.
“It is not correct to say there are people who don’t trust me,” he said.
He admitted it had been a mistake to give the impression, in many interviews, that he was advocating specific actions to cut emissions. Last year, he called for higher taxes on aviation and motoring, said people should eat less meat, and proposed that hotel rooms should have electricity meters to charge people extra for using air conditioning.
Speaking in London yesterday, he said he would focus in future on presenting the science on climate change rather than advocating policies.

Iraq bombings kill 42 before vote results
More Muslims Killing Muslims again in Iraq , all over the Power to be in Charge !
That is the one thing they will never understand in the Muslim world , sometimes you need a blend of differences to run things properly , not just a single ruling party or Cleric or Even an Imam !
And killing each other over it gets you nowhere , But then again if they really insist , More power to em !
(Reuters) - Two bombs killed 42 people and wounded 65 others in Iraq's mainly Sunni Diyala province on Friday, underscoring tensions just before the release of full preliminary results from the March 7 parliamentary election.
A car bomb and a roadside bomb exploded in the town of Khalis, about 80 km (50 miles) north of Baghdad, police said.
Iraq's Independent High Electoral Council (IHEC) was to release results of a count of all the votes later on Friday, 19 days after an election Iraqis hoped would stabilize their nation after years of sectarian warfare.
The tensions foreshadowed potentially divisive talks to form the next government. Sectarian violence exploded when politicians took more than five months to agree a government after the last parliamentary vote in 2005 and tens of thousands of people were killed.
An election official said the top two blocs, Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki's State of Law and the cross-sectarian Iraqiya coalition led by secularist former Prime Minister Iyad Allawi were expected to be one or two seats apart.
Earlier in the day, hundreds of Maliki's supporters gathered at Baghdad's provincial government building to echo the prime minister's demand for a recount, waving banners that read: "No, no to fraud" and "Where have our voices gone?"
All of the major parties have alleged irregularities in the election. But Maliki and his supporters have been most outspoken as the last published results put Allawi's bloc ahead in the national count by about 11,000 votes.
"We condemn the work of IHEC and cases of fraud that have occurred for the benefit of the Iraqiya list," said protester Arkan Shahab, 47.
"The process of fraud that has openly occurred and the abolition of the will of the Iraqi people will have severe consequences for the perpetrators."

Bin Laden: Americans Will Die if Alleged 9/11 Mastermind Is Executed
So if we execute Khalid sheik Mohammed , for spearheading the 9/11 terrorist attack , which he admitted to being the Mastermind , Al Qaida will Kill any American they get in Custody .
For one Don't they do that anyway ?
And two because of that , why should we not execute every Al Qaida Member we have in custody ?
Better yet , just execute them in the field ! save some taxpayers money !
Foxnews
Al Qaeda leader Usama bin Laden threatened in a new audio recording released Thursday to kill any captured Americans if the U.S. executes the accused mastermind of the Sept.11 attacks or any other Al Qaeda suspects.
The U.S. is still considering whether to put Khalid Sheik Mohammed and four of his fellow plotters on military tribunal for their role in the Sept. 11 attacks. The Obama administration is also looking into recommendations for civilian trials, and is expected to announce a decision soon.
In a brief 74-second audio tape aired on Al-Jazeera television, bin Laden said if the U.S. decides to execute any Al Qaeda suspects in its custody -- and explicitly mentioned Mohammed -- his terror network would kill American captives.
The terror leader said such a decision "would mean the U.S. has issued a death sentence against whoever of you becomes a prisoner in our hands."
"Your friend at the White House is still walking in the footsteps of those before (him) in many important matters," including escalating the war in Afghanistan and "oppressing our prisoners that you are holding, beginning with the mujahid hero Khalid al Sheikh Mohammed," he added.
U.S. politicians have "oppressed us and still do, especially by backing Israel, which occupies the land of Palestine," the Al Qaeda chief said.
It was not immediately clear whether Al Qaeda currently has any U.S. captives, but the Haqqani group -- the Pakistan-based Taliban faction closest to Al Qaeda -- is holding an American soldier it captured in eastern Afghanistan in June 2009. It released a video of him in December.
In a veiled threat, bin Laden said Americans had previously thought their homeland was beyond the reach of his group until the 9/11 attack.

Pakistani jets kill nearly 50 in tribal region
Nothing like a good Body count , Especially when it is the Bodies of the Taliban we are talking about !
Way to go Pakistan !
The only good Terrorists have been blown to bits by an Airstrike !
HANGU, Pakistan (Reuters) - Pakistani jets pounded suspected Taliban positions in a one-two punch on Thursday that killed nearly 50 people, most of them militants, in a restive tribal region in the northwest, officials said.
The two attacks targeted a school used by the Taliban as well as a madrasa or Islamic seminary in the Mamuzai area of the Orakzai Agency, an ethnic Pashtun tribal region where many militants fled to escape an army offensive further south.
"Twenty-five bodies of militants have been recovered from the school," Asghar Khan, a government official, told Reuters by telephone from Kalaya, the main town of Orakzai.
He said 13 militants were killed in the madrasa.
However, he said a nearby center of Tablighi Jamaat, a non-violent non-political group involved in Islamic preaching, was also hit in the strike. "Ten people were killed in the Tablighi center," he added.
There was no independent confirmation.
Khan said the seminary was a major hideout of the militants loyal to Maulvi Toofan, a local commander of Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), the main alliance of Pakistan's homegrown militants.

Somali pirate killed in cargo ship hijack shooting
Nice hearing that at least one of the Somalia pirates got theirs , To bad the Yemeni Navy did not have the balls to do what the Spanish Navy did And stop the Pirates and at least sink their vessels , though I would prefer sinking them loaded with Somali Douchbags !
(Reuters) - A suspected Somali pirate was killed during shooting between pirates and armed guards on board a Panamanian-flagged ship, a maritime official and the EU anti-piracy taskforce said on Wednesday.
The private guards protecting the MV Almezaan returned fire as they beat back two attacks by the same gang off the coast of lawless Somalia on Tuesday.
Somali pirates attacked a Yemeni oil tanker off the Yemen coast on Wednesday, but the Yemeni navy foiled the assault, the defense ministry said.
Navy and coast guard vessels engaged four pirate boats that had surrounded the tanker, which was carrying crude oil to the Yemeni port of Aden, and forced them to flee, a Yemeni Defense Ministry website said.
Marauding sea gangs have attacked ships in the busy lanes in the Gulf of Aden that link Europe and Asia for several years, earning ransoms worth millions of dollars from vessels captured.
In the attack on the MV Almezaan, a patrolling Spanish warship deployed a helicopter that fired warning shots to stop the pirates as they fled the area. Spanish troops seized six individuals, recovered one body and destroyed three pirate vessels.

Pakistan Forces Kill 14 Militants Near Afghan Border
The remoteness of region makes it difficult to independently verify reported casualties.
Which also makes you wonder if it really happened , Pakistan has bumped up the strikes against so called "Militants" but you just don't here the chatter about their strikes like you do a NATO strike .
Foxnews
PARACHINAR, Pakistan - A Pakistani official says security forces have killed at least 14 militants after targeting their hide-outs near the Afghan border.
Rasheed Khan says the military used ground forces and fighter jets during operations in three areas of the Orakzai tribal region.
He says one soldier was also wounded in Wednesday's clashes with militants.
Orakzai is a militant stronghold and the military has launched several offensives to clear the region of insurgents. It is located in Pakistan's North West Frontier Province.

Al Qaeda Leader in Iraq Calls for Continued Jihad Against U.S. 'Occupiers'
Nothing is ever good enough for the Mujahideen , no matter what it is they have their panties in a bunch over it !
The whole Jihad thing is getting so played out in the Muslim world , they call for a jihad over everything , and really all it amounts to is an excuse for them to be themselves - miserable , angry ,violent people !
Foxnews
CAIRO -- The self-described leader of an Al Qaeda front group has called for continued jihad against Iraq's American "occupiers" in the wake of the March 7 election that he claimed was boycotted by most Sunni Arabs, according to an audio tape posted Tuesday on militant Web sites.
In the 24-minute tape, Abu Omar al-Baghdadi said the parliamentary election and its results meant nothing for the mujahideen, or holy fighters, and that the next government would be no different from the previous one.
Shiites, who are the majority in Iraq, have dominated governments in Iraq since the 2003 ouster of Saddam Hussein, himself a Sunni.
Al-Baghdadi, the head of the Islamic State of Iraq, had vowed in his first election-related audio tape to violently disrupt the vote and warned Sunnis not to take part.
The turnout on March 7, however, was officially put at a respectable 62 percent despite mortar and rocket attacks that killed at least 36 people, almost all of them in Baghdad.
"We announce that the elections outcome means nothing to us ... we will continue chasing the [American] occupier and his agents until we purify the land from their filth," he said in the tape.
My name iz , Abu Omar al-Baghdadi , And Iz roll wit da Al Qaida , And Iz very Angry Wit Americans Ocupiers inz Iraq ,Iz callz for da Holy Jihad Against dem !

Cartel wars gut Juárez, a onetime boom town
And the real sad thing about this is they are all coming here to the States .
It is real sad that the Mexican people that live in the States don't even want to go to Jaurez , the Place is that violently insane !
And even sadder , that some in our Government don't even recognize that there is a problem !
El Paso Times
CIUDAD JUÁREZ - This violent border city is turning into a ghost town.
Bloodshed from Mexico's warring drug cartels has sent those with means fleeing this former boomtown. Restaurants have moved north to Texas. The dentists who served Americans with their cheap procedures have taken their equipment south. Even the music is dying here.
"The musicians haven't left yet, but they do their shows in El Paso now," says Alfonso Quiñones, a Juárez concert promoter who is trying to organize a jazz festival in the city.
No solid number exists for the exodus, a matter of debate among Juárez's leaders. But the city's planning department estimates 116,000 homes are now abandoned. Measured against the average household size of the last census, the population who inhabited the empty homes alone could be as high as 400,000 people, representing one-third of the city before the violence began.

Virgin Galactic spaceship makes first test flight
I'm a little shy on the funds needed for my Flight , but I'm working on it !
I am already making plans to be at Spaceport America for the first Civilian spaceflight in 2012 .
(Reuters) - A suborbital spaceship owned by aspiring space tourism operator Virgin Galactic was airlifted into the skies over California's Mojave Desert on Monday for its debut test flight.
The sleek, six-passenger ship, called VSS Enterprise, remained attached to its carrier aircraft throughout the two-hour, 54-minute flight.
Virgin Galactic, an offshoot of billionaire Richard Branson's London-based Virgin Group, has collected about $45 million in deposits and fares from more than 330 aspiring amateur astronauts, each of whom will be charged $200,000 to experience a few minutes of suborbital spaceflight.
Enterprise was designed and built by Burt Rutan, founder of Mojave-based Scaled Composites, now a wholly owned subsidiary of Northrop Grumman.
"Watching VSS Enterprise fly for the first time really brings home what beautiful, ground-breaking vehicles Burt and his team have developed for us," Branson said in a statement.
Test flights are scheduled through 2011, with commercial operations targeted to begin in 2012.

Pakistan foils plot to bomb western Targets
Pakistan finally gets the upper hand on some suicide bombers before they carried out their plan .
(Reuters) - Pakistani police have foiled a plot to blow up a restaurant in Islamabad's diplomatic enclave that is frequented by foreigners, and government buildings, a police official said on Monday.
Militants tied to Qari Hussain, known as the Taliban's "mentor of suicide bombers," were arrested before they could attack the Serena Hotel and the French Club restaurant in the heavily guarded diplomatic zone, Bani Amin Khan, Islamabad's acting police chief, told a news conference.
Taliban insurgents have previously attacked Western targets in a bid to destabilize the U.S.-backed government of President Asif Ali Zardari, part of a violent campaign that has scared away foreign investors.
An alleged militant wearing a black hood stood up beside police officials and told the news conference that he helped carry out the suicide attacks on the U.N. World Food Programme and near Pakistan's Naval Complex in the capital city last year.
"I was part of the planning. I provided logistics and suicide jackets to the bombers and in return, the Taliban paid me," said the man, who said he was a former paramilitary soldier named Noor Jahan.
Police said they arrested two militants, Noor Jahan and a second man, Rehmat Gul, and seized a suicide jacket and pistol from their possession.
The said the militants had planned to carry out attacks on government buildings on March 23, Pakistan's National Day. The targets included courts and a telecommunications office.

Chavez Denies He's Trying to Control Internet
Hugo may deny it but he still has the power to do so , and if the political climate in Venezuela gets heated enough , it is likely he will !
CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) -- Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez denied that the government plans to impose controls on the Internet, saying Sunday that his administration aims to increase Web access rather than limit it.
Earlier this month, Chavez sparked concerns of a possible crackdown on Web sites critical of his government when he called for regulation of the Internet and urged prosecutors to act against Noticiero Digital, a site popular among his opponents.
Chavez has become increasingly critical of social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook and says adversaries use them to deceive the public.
On Sunday, speaking during his weekly television and radio show, the socialist leader said the government has inaugurated 668 Internet centers in much of the country that offer Venezuelans access to the Web, and his administration plans to spend close to $11 million this year to build 200 more.
Still, Chavez also told his audience that government critics often use the Web "to generate panic," and said such actions "cannot be permitted."
He announced plans to counter such online criticism by launching his own Web page and becoming a cyber-activist himself: "I'm going to have my Internet trench, my trench for the battle."
The number of Internet subscribers climbed to more than 1.5 million last year in this politically divided South American country of 29 million -- up from about 273,000 nine years ago -- according to Chavez.
He said roughly 35 percent of all Internet users get access to the Web at government centers.

The wide-ranging investigation into Detroit public corruption has direct links to an East Coast sting operation that featured a fictitious insurance company run by the FBI, the Free Press has learned.
In New Jersey, the federal government successfully prosecuted 14 public officials and associates linked to bribes from federal agents and informants posing as officials for Coastal Solutions, a phony company the FBI set up to snare corrupt officials. All received prison sentences.
In Detroit, there have been no charges to date from the East Coast sting, but federal documents portray the father of former Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick and a mayoral aide as front men in a deal that would have resulted in payoffs to the Detroiters in exchange for the city hiring the fake company.
The deal never went through. But documents contend that over a period of months in 2007, Bernard Kilpatrick, mayoral aide Marc Cunningham and others were eagerly courted by officials with Coastal Solutions. Cunningham allegedly had Coastal Solutions send a $3,000 Super Bowl ticket to him at City Hall.
Bernard Kilpatrick's meetings with Coastal took him from the Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City to a championship fight in Las Vegas. Also in Vegas were Kwame Kilpatrick and Cunningham.
After the fight, the documents say, Cunningham left a voice mail with Coastal Solutions saying Kwame Kilpatrick favored the deal. The FBI interpreted that to mean the mayor and others were willing to do a deal in return for bribes.
A no-meat day? Michigan farmers have a cow
In good old fashioned Michigan style , Some Carnivores took offense to Governor Granholms Proclamation of a " No Meat Day " and showed her how they feel by Holding a Massive BBQ on the lawn of the Capitol .
So much of a protest was made that Granholm resended her statement and changed it to an Agricultural day !
Freep.com
Michigan hunters and meat producers had a collective cow today at the news Gov. Jennifer Granholm had issued an official proclamation declaring Saturday "Michigan Meatout Day."
The proclamation was labeled “unconscionable and insensitive to livestock and dairy farmers by the Michigan Farm Bureau.
“It’s inconceivable to us that the governor could stoop to this level of telling people what they should and shouldn’t eat based on the philosophies of 'food elitists,' ” said Farm Bureau President Wayne Wood.
• UPDATE: "Senate to Granholm: Take back proclamation for no-meat day"
Michigan United Conservation Clubs posted an image of the proclamation on its Facebook page, quickly eliciting a call from members to observe Meatout Day by having a massive barbecue on the Capitol lawn.
Granholm’s proclamation, issued at the urging of vegetarian activists, cited the benefits of a plant-based diet and the increasing availability of alternatives to meat and dairy products for vegans and vegetarians. Following a series of “whereases,” Granholm encourages “the residents of this state to choose not to eat meat” on Saturday.

Kerry lends support to immigration marchers
But Mr. Kerry , We don't want People from other countries coming here at will and getting more help and benefits than we do , and with the economy the way it is jobs are scarce anyways so we don't want non citizens coming here to take those jobs that us Citizens are fighting for !

US Senator John Kerry expressed support today for about 1,500 Massachusetts immigrants and advocates who are heading to Washington D.C. to call for immigration reform.
"You deserve more than the empty rhetoric and impractical calls for mass deportation we see from opponents of comprehensive immigration reform," Kerry said today in a statement.
The Massachusetts marchers planned to join with tens of thousands of others on the National Mall on Sunday.
The marchers, who are demonstrating the same day as a historic health care vote in the House, are hoping to call attention to an issue they say has been neglected for the past year.
"We were very excited when President Obama talked about the importance of immigration reform and how his administration was working hard on the subject back in June," said Frank Soults, communications director for the Massachusetts Immigrant and Refugee Advocacy Coalition, "but although he's made several statements, there hasn't been anything put forward in Congress yet."
Obama has promised to build bipartisan support for immigration reform, even though it's classically been seen as a divisive partisan issue.
On Friday, in an op-ed piece in The Washington Post, two leading senators, New York Democrat Charles Schumer and South Carolina Republican Lindsey Graham, outlined a new reform proposal intended to fix what they called a "badly broken" system.
The two senators said Americans overwhelmingly oppose illegal immigration and support legal immigration. They called for requiring high-tech Social Security cards to ensure that illegal workers cannot get jobs; strengthening border security; creating a process for admitting temporary workers; and implementing a "path to legalization" for those already here.

ACORN sliding toward bankruptcy?
To some, ACORN has itself to blame for its problems. “ACORN was not a group that politely sought redress … it was loud and brash and conveyed an attitude that the righteousness of its mission justified whatever tactics were expedient in the battle of The People vs. The Man,”
Uh , Exactly .
when your "Empowerment" overshadows being right , and leads to abuses that affect normal people , it becomes a major problem !
Voter fraud affects Everyone in the Unite States
The CSM
The indelible images of ACORN workers helping a faux pimp and prostitute set up a tax shelter for a brothel certainly played into the advocacy group’s slide toward bankruptcy, though its problems began long before last year’s scandal.
The New York Times is reporting that officials at the housing advocacy group will hold a teleconference this weekend to announce a bankruptcy filing. The group is reeling from a disbanding of at least 15 of its 30 state chapters in recent weeks, including the one in Maryland that served as the set for one of the most outrageous videos produced by conservative reporters James O’Keefe and Hannah Giles, and led to government agencies like the Census Bureau severing ties to ACORN....
But a looming question now will be whether the Obama administration can save the organization. BigGovernment.com reports that the administration has quietly begun replacing payments to ACORN after a New York judge ruled that the Congressional de-funding of the organization was not constitutional.
Actually the way it was defunded is the problem , the money still could easily be taken from them with a simple re-wording of the reasons why !

Taliban arrests thwart Afghan talks: ex-U.N. envoy
Definition of the U.N. = Useless Nimrods !
This here is one more reason why the U.N. just needs to go away , secret talks with the Taliban while the U.S. And NATO forces are fighting them are unproductive to the War !
Maybe if the U.N. would just back something once in awhile it would be different , but coming out and saying that the Arrests of the upper Taliban leadership is counter productive to the "Discreet" talks they have been holding is absolutely Mind Numbing .
What is the U.N. trying to do by Talking to these savages ?
I guess the U.N. would rather see the Taliban as a political party than as a bunch of murderous thugs that they really are , not to mention that the Taliban are the biggest abusers of human rights in the world !
It just goes to show how out of touch the U.N really is .
(Reuters) - The arrests of senior Afghan Taliban members in Pakistan have stopped most talks between the insurgents and U.N. representatives, the former head of the U.N. mission in Afghanistan said in a BBC interview.
Norwegian Kai Eide, who stepped down this month, said talks dried up several weeks ago after more than a dozen prominent Taliban members were held in joint U.S.-Pakistan operations.
"Most communications stopped," he told the BBC World Service, according to extracts of the interview released by the BBC on Thursday. "The effect of that (the arrests) ... was certainly negative on our possibility of continuing the political process."
Contact with the Taliban began in spring 2009, paused during the elections in August and picked up after the vote until the arrests in Pakistan all but halted the process, he added.
Eide said his team met senior Taliban leaders and officials who had the authority of the group's ruling council, the Quetta Shura. A U.N. official told Reuters in January that one meeting took place in Dubai in January.
Asked if he thought Pakistan wanted to end the talks because it wanted to be in control of the process, Eide replied: "I find that interpretation to be probably the right one."
"Do I believe that Pakistan plays the role it should in promoting a political dialogue that is necessary for ending the conflict in Afghanistan? No, the Pakistanis did not play the role that they should have played."
Talks with the Taliban are "long overdue" and the arrests in recent weeks may have hardened the insurgents, making it harder to get their leaders to negotiate, he added.
The idea of talking to a group that has killed hundreds of coalition soldiers and has a long record of human rights abuses is sensitive, particularly in Britain and the United States.
The United States has so far backed attempts to persuade lower- and mid-level insurgents to stop fighting, but has resisted dealing with their leaders.
The United Nations is ready to continue informal talks with the Taliban but the contact must be discreet, diplomats said earlier this week.

'JihadJane' Pleads Not Guilty to Terror Charges
Like no one saw this coming !
Of course she was going to plead not guilty , how else is she going to get to run her mouth in a courtroom ?
I Demand audio or transcripts of her rantings , it is the least they could do ! ( I don't want Video , She is a skank nasty Bitch )
FoxNews
PHILADELPHIA -- The Philadelphia-area woman authorities say dubbed herself "Jihad Jane" online pleaded not guilty Thursday in federal court to a four-count indictment charging her in an overseas terrorist plot.
Colleen LaRose, 46, of Pennsburg, appeared in court wearing a green jumpsuit and corn rows in her blond hair. A May 3 trial date was set.
She was accused of conspiring with jihadist fighters and pledging to commit murder in the name of a Muslim holy war. Authorities say she wanted to kill a Swedish artist who had offended Muslims.
Authorities say she grew acquainted online with violent co-conspirators from around the world. They say she posted a YouTube video in 2008 saying she was "desperate to do something" to ease the suffering of Muslims.
She was arrested in October 2009 in Philadelphia while returning to the United States.
LaRose spent most of her life in Texas, where she dropped out of high school, married at 16 and again at 24, and racked up a few minor arrests, records show.
After a second divorce, she followed a boyfriend to Pennsylvania in about 2004 and began caring for his father while he worked long hours, sometimes on the road. In 2005, she swallowed a handful of pills in a failed suicide attempt, telling police she was upset over the death of her father -- but did not want to die.
As she moved through her 40s without a job or any outside hobbies, her boyfriend said, she started spending more time online.
Though her boyfriend, Kurt Gorman, did not consider her religious, and she apparently never joined a mosque, LaRose had by 2008 declared herself "desperate" to help suffering Muslims in the YouTube video.
"In my view, she sort of slipped sideways into Islam. ... There may have been some seduction into it, by one or more people," said Temple University psychologist Frank Farley.

Top al Qaeda Operative Is Killed in U.S. Drone Attack
Alright , one more Dead Al Qaida guy !
And a goat trainer no less !
The Wall Street Journal
WASHINGTON—A drone strike last week in Pakistan apparently killed a top al Qaeda trainer who helped supervise December's suicide bombing at a Central Intelligence Agency post in Afghanistan, U.S. officials said.
The strike on a suspected bomb-making facility in Miram Shah killed as many as 15 people, including Sadam Hussein Al Hussami, also known as Ghazwan Al-Yemeni, according to people familiar with the strike. The Obama administration does not comment on such attacks.
"He's a significant operator," said Bruce Riedel, a former CIA officer, now at the Brookings Institution. "And it's another sign that the pressure is substantial" on the top echelons of al Qaeda.
U.S. officials are touting Mr. Hussami's death as a significant blow to the terrorist network that carried out the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. At a time of escalating strikes from unmanned drones, the missile hit last week was unusual. The strike landed in or near a population center, Miram Shah, and its aftermath has been kept quiet by U.S. and Pakistani officials.
Mr. Riedel said the "martyrdom" was trumpeted on jihadist Web sites.
Well we should give Al Qaida some more Martyrs to Trumpet !

Steamy Texts Land Dubai Couple in Jail
Privacy is not Private anymore !
If you don't want to get busted for "Ilicit" Texting (Especially by your wife)
THEN DON"T DO IT !

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates -- A string of steamy text messages has resulted in a jail sentence for an Indian couple, authorities announced Wednesday, in the latest case of passions clashing with the law in the cosmopolitan, yet occasionally conservative, Gulf city of Dubai.
The conviction said the sexual content of the texts suggested the unnamed pair planned to "commit sin" -- a reference to an extramarital affair, which is illegal in the United Arab Emirates.
The pair, who worked as cabin crew for Emirates airlines, each were sentenced to three months in jail, said authorities. Court documents only gave their initials and their ages: 42 for her and 47 for him.
The text messages surfaced in a divorce lawsuit by the woman's estranged husband.
A court in December sentenced the Indian couple to six months in jail followed by deportation, but an appeals court reduced the jail time and gave them the option to remain in the country.
It's not the first time that emotions have run afoul with authorities in Dubai, where the expatriate population exceeds the locals by more than 4-to-1. The city-state allows one of the most relaxed lifestyles in the Arab world, but officials can come down hard on those accused of pushing the limits of tolerance.
Earlier this week, a British couple said they will appeal a one-month jail sentence for exchanging a fiery kiss in a restaurant.
In 2008, two Britons were sentenced to three months in jail for what authorities described as sex on the beach. The sentences were later suspended.

U.N. council wants probe of Somalia aid diversion
Another tangled web of Bullshit the U.N. is involved in !
And along with it a costly and lengthy investigation into the %100 Corrupt Organizations World Food Program and the U.N. .
We also see How Al Shabaab has its filthy hands in Everything , even UNICEF !
Corruption makes the World go Round !
(Reuters) - Members of the U.N. Security Council want an outside investigation of charges of widespread diversion of U.N. aid to radical Islamist rebels in Somalia, Mexico's U.N. envoy said on Tuesday.
"There is a large consensus for the idea of an independent investigation that should be carried out," Mexican Ambassador Claude Heller told reporters after a closed door meeting of the 15-nation Security Council.
A report submitted to a council committee by a U.N. panel of experts that monitors compliance with U.N. sanctions against Somalia and Eritrea said up to half the food aid for needy Somalis was being diverted to a network of corrupt contractors, al Shabaab militants and local U.N. staff.
It also said a Somali businessman linked to al Shabaab who likely received a ransom paid for kidnapped aid workers was a contractor for both the World Food Program (WFP) and the U.N. children's fund, UNICEF, in Somalia.
Al Shabaab, which controls much of southern and central Somalia, has pledged loyalty to al Qaeda and wants to impose its own harsh version of sharia law throughout the country.
The 74-page report, seen by Reuters, outlines such serious problems that it recommends U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon open an independent investigation into the WFP's operations in the lawless Horn of Africa nation, which has been without an effective government since 1991.
And along with it a costly and lengthy investigation into the %100 Corrupt Organizations World Food Program and the U.N. .

(Reuters) - Members of the U.N. Security Council want an outside investigation of charges of widespread diversion of U.N. aid to radical Islamist rebels in Somalia, Mexico's U.N. envoy said on Tuesday.
"There is a large consensus for the idea of an independent investigation that should be carried out," Mexican Ambassador Claude Heller told reporters after a closed door meeting of the 15-nation Security Council.
A report submitted to a council committee by a U.N. panel of experts that monitors compliance with U.N. sanctions against Somalia and Eritrea said up to half the food aid for needy Somalis was being diverted to a network of corrupt contractors, al Shabaab militants and local U.N. staff.
It also said a Somali businessman linked to al Shabaab who likely received a ransom paid for kidnapped aid workers was a contractor for both the World Food Program (WFP) and the U.N. children's fund, UNICEF, in Somalia.
Al Shabaab, which controls much of southern and central Somalia, has pledged loyalty to al Qaeda and wants to impose its own harsh version of sharia law throughout the country.
The 74-page report, seen by Reuters, outlines such serious problems that it recommends U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon open an independent investigation into the WFP's operations in the lawless Horn of Africa nation, which has been without an effective government since 1991.

U.N. set for more discreet talks with Taliban
So the U.N would like to be Discreet in their little talks with the Taliban that they are not having but are having , so don't pay no attention here there really is nothing to see , Move along like the good Sheeple you are .
The Break down IMO !
You see , the Taliban , AKA The Bad guys , nobody really likes them , they are just really mean .
And NATO , AKA the good guys , well a lot of people don't like them either , but they are the good guys !
And then the U.N. , AKA Useless Numbnuts , they are supposed to be on the side of good But they like to play both sides of the Fence , which is what they Are doing here , because really they would kinda like to see the Taliban win this fight , instead of Good Always triumphing over evil , they would like to see evil win once in a while !
So what better way to help that along than to persuade the Goat molesters Known as the Taliban , to just play along for a While !
(Reuters) - U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon suggested in a new report on Afghanistan that the United Nations is ready to continue informal talks with the Taliban but the contact must be discreet, diplomats said.
The 15-nation U.N. Security Council will discuss Ban's report on Thursday and vote next week on his recommendation to renew the mandate of the U.N. mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) for another 12 months.
Ban said UNAMA's mandate "allows it to provide good offices to support the implementation of Afghan-led reconciliation programs" with which President Hamid Karzai is trying to reach out and offer an amnesty to Taliban insurgents.
"It (UNAMA) can also lend its good offices ... to these efforts based on the consent of the parties concerned, although the nature of the task could initially require discretion and flexibility," said the report, obtained by Reuters on Monday.
Several U.N. diplomats said this language amounted to a request for a green light from the council for UNAMA officials to continue informal talks with the Taliban, as long as the contact supported the efforts of the Afghan government.
They said the requirement for "discretion and flexibility" meant that information might be kept confidential and left out of formal U.N. briefings.
"It's a request for an explicit implicit wink from the council" to allow secret political talks with the Taliban to continue, one U.N. diplomat said.
The issue of speaking with the Taliban is a sensitive one, since the group has been subject to U.N. sanctions since 1999.
But diplomats said the former U.N. special envoy to Afghanistan, Kai Eide, had been repeatedly in contact with the Taliban, despite his denial of reports that he met with Taliban representatives in the Middle East earlier this year.
One U.N. diplomat dismissed Eide's denials, saying he "did talk with the Taliban, and on more than one occasion."

Gunmen in Mexico kill 3 with U.S. consulate ties
"The president is deeply saddened and outraged by the news," White House National Security Council spokesman Mike Hammer said in a statement, adding that Obama "shares in the outrage of the Mexican people at the murders of thousands in Ciudad Juarez and elsewhere in Mexico."
O.K. Mr Obama , two Americans were just killed in Mexico , And you share in the Mexican peoples Outrage at all the Murders in Mexico ?
Excuse me but What the Fuck is wrong with you ?
You should be pissed off as an American citizen , you should share in our outrage that this Bullshit is going on right next door , and Americans are being killed now !
(Reuters) - Three people connected to the U.S. consulate in Mexico's most violent border city were murdered, police said on Sunday, prompting U.S. President Barack Obama to respond with outrage and sadness.
Gunmen on Saturday killed an American couple associated with the consulate in Ciudad Juarez, just across the Rio Grande from El Paso, Texas, in broad daylight, a police source told Reuters.
The couple's baby survived the attack, the source said.
Minutes later, another man with ties to the consulate was murdered in a different area of the city at the center of a bloody turf war between drug cartels, according to the source.
Gunmen boxed in the third victim's car with other vehicles and shot him, according to a media witness who saw the crime scene in the city where 8,000 troops and federal police have been deployed.
A consulate employee and her husband, both U.S. citizens, along with the husband of another employee who is a Mexican citizen, were murdered, the White House said in a statement.
"The president is deeply saddened and outraged by the news," White House National Security Council spokesman Mike Hammer said in a statement, adding that Obama "shares in the outrage of the Mexican people at the murders of thousands in Ciudad Juarez and elsewhere in Mexico."
In an apparent reaction to the attacks, the U.S. State Department on Sunday updated its warning on travel in Mexico to say that it had authorized the departure of dependents of U.S. government personnel from U.S. consulates in several northern Mexico border cities.
In Ciudad Juarez, one of the world's deadliest cities, there are as many as a dozen drug murders a day and scenes of bullet-riddled vehicles and bodies lying in pools of blood are common.

Thirteen killed in crime wave in Mexico's Acapulco
The Nice vacation spot of Acapulco Mexico , now tainted with Killings stemming from the Drug wars of Mexico !
The Cartels Basically own Mexico and can do whatever they damn well please !
(Reuters) - Thirteen people were killed in and around the Mexican beach resort of Acapulco early on Saturday in apparent drug-related violence, with four victims found beheaded, security officials said.
Five of those killed were police officers whose night-time patrol was attacked by gunmen on the outskirts of Acapulco, a Pacific Ocean resort popular with tourists, the security officials said in a statement.
The bullet-riddled bodies of eight other men were discovered in different areas around Acapulco, and four of them had been beheaded, the officials added.
Mexican President Felipe Calderon has staked his presidency on crushing drug gangs whose turf wars have killed about 19,000 people since he came to power in 2006. Some 45,000 troops and federal police have been deployed across the country.
Rival drug gangs in recent years sometimes have fought over territory in Acapulco, where any resurgence in violence would be bad news for the tourism industry. Last June, at least 18 people were killed in a shootout between drug gangs and soldiers in the city, which is home to around a million people in the state of Guerrero.
More violence apparently linked to drugs flared later on Saturday in Guerrero, with Mexican soldiers exchanging fire with gunmen, national newspaper Reforma reported. One soldier and 10 gunmen were killed in the town of Ajuchitlan del Progreso in northern Guerrero, the newspaper reported.

Devotees of Florida Man Sickened After Drinking Mucus of Giant African Snail
O.K. it is kinda a slow news day , Or maybe I am still so sick that I am borderline delusional !
I noticed a few odd stories in the first fifteen minutes of browsing this evening soooo...
Escargot Snot anyone ?
Foxnews
MIAMI — Devotees of a Miami man who claims to practice a traditional African religion say they were sickened when they drank the mucus of a giant African snail.
Federal authorities in January raided Charles L. Stewart's home after receiving complaints. Stewart has not been criminally charged, but prosecutors and state and federal wildlife agencies are investigating. The giant African snail is prohibited in the U.S. without special approval.
Experts say it devastates new ecosystems. The snail grows up to 10 inches long, can reproduce on its own and can eat even plaster.
Stewart tells The Miami Herald he means no harm, and his religion uses the snails in healing ceremonies.
Followers said they got violently ill, losing weight and developing strange lumps in their stomachs.

FBI Probes N.J. Man Linked to Al Qaeda, Hospital Attack in Yemen
Another case of you Just don't till it's almost to late .
But fortunately he was Arrested , though only after killing a guard at the hospital he was being held at .
Ever wonder how many American Born Al qaida lovers are really out there ?
So does the FBI .
Foxnews
A suspected Al Qaeda militant who was known as a "sweetheart" by classmates at his New Jersey high school is being investigated by the FBI after his arrest in the Middle East for allegedly trying to shoot his way out of a hospital in Yemen.
Federal sources confirmed that 26-year-old Sharif Mobley, of Buena, N.J., is in custody after a shooting rampage in a Yemeni hospital that killed one guard and injured another.
FBI spokesman Rich Wolf in Baltimore said the agency is looking into the case. Mobley was reportedly being held prisoner in the hospital and was caught after a chase following the shooting.
And aspokesman for a group of nuclear power plants in New Jersey said late Thursday that Mobley had previously worked as a laborer for several contractors at its three plants from 2002 to 2008 carrying supplies and doing maintenance work.
Mobley satisfied federal background checks as recently as 2008, PSEG Nuclear spokesman Joe Delmar Delmar said, adding that Mobley also worked at other plants in the region.

A fuming Conyers files appeal
Just a little Detroit news .
Monica Conyers , Wife of rep . John Conyers , was sentenced Yesterday to 37 months and 2 years probation , she really deserves a lot more time in the big house than that .
For years , even decades , the Detroit city council Raped whatever and whoever they could for nothing more than Personal Gain , basically Helping Detroit on it's way to becoming a ghost town !
Freep.com
After months of silence, the combative and unpredictable Monica Conyers erupted during her sentencing in federal court Wednesday: first, repeatedly asking to withdraw her guilty plea, then exclaiming she wasn't going to jail for something she didn't do.
"I'm not going to be made a scapegoat for other people," the ex-Detroit councilwoman said in a raised voice. But U.S. District Judge Avern Cohn was unmoved. He sentenced her to 37 months in prison and two years of probation...
Conyers, who is married to U.S. Rep. John Conyers -- who was not in court and did not comment -- pleaded guilty last summer for her role in a bribery scheme involving a $1.2-billion sludge hauling contract between the city and Texas-based Synagro Technologies.
Conyers is to report to prison July 1...
Alan Gershel, a 28-year veteran of the U.S. Attorney's Office who is now a professor at the Thomas M. Cooley Law School, said Conyers' signature on the plea agreement effectively stymies an appeal.

Swedish cartoonist receives fresh death threats
Here we go again , Muslim outrage over a cartoon !
Well not like it ever really stopped , it just keeps going and going .
With the Indictment of Fatima LaRosse Aka Fatty /goatface ,and seven other Muslims that want to kill Lars Vilks , things have been stirred up again .
So in support of Lars and free speech everywhere , Some cartoons !
My Favorite,
(Reuters) - The Swedish cartoonist whose sketch of the Prophet Mohammad has made him the target of Muslim anger said on Wednesday he had received more death threats since arrests were made this week over an alleged plot to kill him.
Lars Vilks, whose sketch had shown the Prophet Mohammad with the body of a dog, told Reuters the death threats had been made in Internet messages following the arrests by police in Ireland of seven people in connection with the alleged murder plot.
He said he had received a large number of threats since 2007, when his sketch was first published, but new ones were sent to him on Tuesday.
"They wanted to shoot me in the head with a shotgun," Vilks said, referring to one of the latest messages. "The other one was also about killing me."
Irish police said on Tuesday they had detained four men and three women in southern Ireland as part of an investigation into a murder conspiracy. A security source said the investigation was into a plot to murder Vilks.
In 2007, an Iraqi group linked to al Qaeda offered a $100,000 reward for Vilks' killing.
The 63-year-old, who continues to live at his home in southern Sweden and has no bodyguards, said he had no regrets about drawing the cartoons.
"If you mean to be a serious artist ... this will be the outcome sometimes -- that you will bump into borders with unseen consequences," he said.
Vilks said he had no political motive.
Obama effect boosts Nobel Peace Prize nominations
The Obama Effect ?
WTF is next ?
Now we have to be subject to hearing the keepers of the Nobel peace Prize verbally dropping to their Knees for Obama , why ? who the hell Knows .
as if Obama is so Great now , that a flood of people are now eligible to get the Peace prize , all because of the one's Vast Greatness .
I'm feeling very ill at the moment , The thought that maybe Sean Penn or Danny Glover will be the Next recipients of the Tug and rub club honors from Oslo .
(Reuters) - A record 237 people and organizations have been nominated for the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize, with interest boosted by last year's award to President Barack Obama, organizers said on Wednesday.
The world's media focused on the Peace Prize after Obama was the unexpected choice for what some see as the world's highest accolade, although he had been in office for just nine months and critics said he had only spelt out visions of peace.
"This is the highest number of nominations ... last year's prize to Barack Obama has further enhanced interest in the prize," Geir Lundestad, head of the Norwegian Nobel Institute, told Reuters.
"There are many different roads to peace and there are many different types of nominations ... (including) humanitarian organizations, environmental organizations, all kinds of statesmen and organizations that work for disarmament," he said.
Nominations have closed for 2010 and the total, which includes 38 organizations, is the highest since last year, when 205 contenders were considered by the secretive Norwegian Nobel Committee. The long-term trend shows the number of nominations is growing, Lundestad said.
This year's candidates include Zimbabwean Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai, Chinese dissidents such as Liu Xiaobo, the Russian human rights group Memorial and its founder Svetlana Gannushkina, and the International Space Station programme.

Senate Staffers Warned to Stay Clear of Drudge Report
"The site was seen 149,967 times since March 1st from users at senate.gov and 244,347 times at house.gov. [10,825 visits from the White House, eop.gov]" the Drudge Report wrote.
Maybe the senate and the House should pay a little more attention to their jobs and the people they are supposed to represent , than surfing the internet from their office computers !
And maybe some people in the House and Senate have some "Unsavory" surfing habits that have led them to receiving these so called "pop ups and Viruses"
And any good system Administrator should be able to take care of their system , and keep it relatively "Clean" of such issues !
( Maybe this is part of the reason why the U.S. Government is lacking in the Internet security department ?)
Foxnews
In the very body sworn to protect and defend the Constitution, an e-mail is circulating warning U.S. Senate staffers not to view one of the most popular news sites on the Web, claiming it could spread computer viruses.
The Senate Sergeant-at-Arms, the chamber's official gatekeeper, said the Drudge Report, a news aggregator, and whitepages.com, a telephone directory site, "are responsible for the many viruses popping up throughout the Senate," according to an e-mail from the Environment and Public Works Committee obtained by FoxNews.com.
Another e-mail from a separate office warned that staffers who had visited the Drudge Report or White Pages had experienced viruses on their PCs.
"Please avoid using these sites until the Senate resolves this issue," the e-mail read. "The Senate has been swamped the last couples (sic) days with this issue."
But the Drudge Report suggested that politics might be behind the warning, noting in an original story that the e-mail came as the "health care drama in the Capitol reaches a grand finale."
The Drudge Report noted that it served more than 29 million pages Monday without an e-mail complaint about "'pop ups,' or the site serving 'viruses.'"
"The site was seen 149,967 times since March 1st from users at senate.gov and 244,347 times at house.gov. [10,825 visits from the White House, eop.gov]" the Drudge Report wrote.
"The Systems Administrator may want to continue taking her antibiotic until the prescription runs out."
A spokesman for the Environment and Public Works Committee said the Senate Help Desk cited the Drudge Report and whitepages.com only as possible examples of Web sites generating pop-up ads that might be causing a recent increase in the number of virus infections.

Sean Penn Wants Reporters Jailed for Calling Chavez 'Dictator'
You Dick !
Yes you Sean Penn , Much like the moron you played in Fast times , you are a DICK !

It is Called COMMUNISM Spicoli ! you don't get a choice !
If you love Hugo so much , why don't you move to Venezuela , shack up with your new Butt Buddy , then you both can suffer from other rectal Problems !
Foxnews
First Amendment be damned . . . If Oscar-winning actor Sean Penn had his way, any journalist who called Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez a dictator would quickly find himself behind bars.
Penn, appearing on HBO's "Real Time with Bill Maher" on Friday, defended Chavez during a segment in which he detailed his work with the JP Haitian Relief Organization, which he co-founded.
"Every day, this elected leader is called a dictator here, and we just accept it, and accept it" said Penn, winner of two Best Actor Academy Awards. "And this is mainstream media, who should -- truly, there should be a bar by which one goes to prison for these kinds of lies."
It was just the beginning of a busy weekend for Penn. When asked on CBS' "Sunday Morning" about those who question his motives for his humanitarian work in Haiti, he said:
"Do I hope that those people die screaming of rectal cancer? Yeah. You know, but I'm not going to spend a lot of energy on it."

"Do I hope that those people die screaming of rectal cancer? Yeah. You know, but I'm not going to spend a lot of energy on it."

A suburban Pennsylvania woman known by the alias "Jihad Jane" has been arrested and charged with trying to recruit Islamic fighters and for plotting to assassinate a Swedish cartoonist who made fun of the Prophet Mohammed, according to a federal indictment unsealed today.
Colleen R. LaRose, 46, of Montgomery, Pa., described by neighbors as an average "housewife," is better known to federal authorities as "Fatima Rose" or "Jihad Jane."
The indictment, obtained by ABC News, charges LaRose with conspiracy to provide material support to terrorists and conspiracy to kill in a foreign country.
She is also accused of making false statements to a government official and of attempted identity theft, a passport she allegedly stole with the intention of giving to an Islamic fighter. The court papers claim that LaRose reached out through the Internet to jihadist groups saying she was "desperate to do something to help" suffering Muslim people, and that she desired to become a martyr.
She stated in her e-mails "that her physical appearance would allow her to 'blend in with many people' which 'may be a way to achieve what is in my heart,'" the indictment states.
She could even blend in with dogs and Goats
In her e-mails with five unindicted co-conspirators in South Asia, Eastern and Western Europe, LaRose allegedly agreed to recruit men -- and to recruit women -- for jihad, to raise money for Islamic fighters, and agreed on the Internet to one jihadist's request to "marry me to get me inside Europe."
In March 2009, the indictment states, she allegedly received a directive to "got to sweden... find location of [Resident of Sweden]... and kill him... this is what i say to u."
Federal officials identified the target as Lars Vilks, who had drawn Prophet Muhammed with the body of a dog.
LaRose replied, "I will make this my goal till I achieve it or die trying," according to court documents.
She traveled, according to the indictment, on or around Aug. 29, 2009 to Europe "with the intent to live and train with jihadists" and to "find and kill" Vilks. In September, she joined an online community hosted by Vilks and eventually moved into Vilks' artist enclave in Sweden.

Jimi Hendrix !
Valleys of Neptune is the reason why Jimi Hendrix was the Best Guitarist of his times ( And still far better than many out there today )
This IMO is the best sounding Hendrix EVER ,(been listening to it for a couple days now).
The instrumental of Sunshine of your love is amazing , as with the rest of the tracks Hendrix absolutely Cut loose on these , except for a wah wah , no effects at all and it sounds like a lot of live cuts (no edits ), just Hendrix doing what he did best , Molest , rape , and obliterate a Stratocaster and a wall of Marshall amps !
WSJ.com
News of a new Jimi Hendrix album could be greeted by fans of the rock guitarist with understandable skepticism. Hendrix only released three studio albums during his lifetime, but more than ten have been issued under his name after his death. Fans want to hear his work, but they also want to see his legacy respected by only putting out material from the vaults that’s worthy of his talent.
“Valleys of Neptune,” the newest new Hendrix album, due out tomorrow, features twelve tracks that have never before been officially commercially available. Some of the songs are covers (such as a version of Elmore James’ “Bleeding Heart” and an instrumental rendering of Cream’s “Sunshine of Your Love”), others are new takes on already-released songs (including alternate versions of “Fire” and “Hear My Train a Comin”). But the new album also features originals, including the title track, “Lullaby for the Summer,” and “Ships Passing through the Night.”
The bulk of the tracks were recorded around 1969, roughly between the release of the Hendrix album “Electric Ladyland” and his appearance at Woodstock. The sessions captured the final recordings of Hendrix’s band the Jimi Hendrix Experience, which featured bassist Noel Redding and drummer Mitch Mitchell. (Redding and Mitchell added to their parts on one of the “Neptune” tracks, “Crying Blue Rain,” in 1987, long after Hendrix’s death in 1970.)
“Valleys of Neptune” has a raw, muscular sound. Hendrix gets caught up in the groove, letting his vocals slide into scat and unleashing his guitar. The recordings are largely free of studio trickery, which can date an album by tying it to trends of the moment. This may be as close to a new Hendrix album as his fans will ever get.
