I know your country doesn't have it but it's called the Fifth Ammendment. It is the accused's right to refrain from saying anything, especially anything may incriminate him in some way. His silence in no way legally incriminates him. In the court of public opinion (i.e. you) he may seem…

The shared problem with any US news network though is thru rose-tinted glasses that the US looks out for #1, and their version of "international news" is just "Americans abroad" (if it doesn't involve Americans, it's not news).

Japanese media's coverage of world news is ten times worse...

Do they really need a confession if they have DNA evidence? The article states that the blood type matches, but can't they get a more positive ID done?

A voluntary confession would be the easiest solution for the police but in this case they do need more evidence that…

People of equal status don't bow to each other? Uh, yes they do. It may not be as formal as between people of differing social standing but here in Japan equals definitely bow when they greet each other.

And wake up people, the poll question is whether or not Obama…

Now all the people talking about "surrender monkeys" and "freedom fries" can shut up.

Hope they do a better job than the Germans...

If you voted NO please tell us why? I for one can't think of a single good reason why Obama shouldn't have paid his respects in the manner that is locally accepted.

Now, what is sure is that rape incidents on Okinawa would decline without US bases. That is reason enough for them to leave.

So you're real concern is for rape victims in Okinawa? How touching. Removing the US military from the island will prevent, oh, .82% of all crimes…

By the way, did that military base on Hawaii about 70 years ago prevent an attack?
