mansen: exactly! That's the most important piece of info I got from this article, too! lol
If the US bases were smaller, the servicemen would be off-base more and amongst the Japanese more. More servicemen golfing at Japanese golf clubs, more servicemen hanging out at Japanese malls. Sounds like more problems to me.
And the mayor who is "balking" at having the base moved to his area should remember that it is a national-level decision and not his to make.

furthermore, if they can get Portuguese (or other language) off the phone, you know they'll get numbers called and possibly the owner of the phone.

fingerprints were undoubtedly left. The car had been stolen several years ago and the suspects left in a hurry. There are prints and they will likely be found. If they left a mobile phone, they will have left other things.
If sent messages on a phone were found to be written in Portuguese, it would be a logical jump to assume the suspects were of foreign origin.
My guess is that the case will be cracked rather easily, and based on evidence found in the suspects (stolen) car. Perhaps memory in the GPS system showing where the car has been, receipts or mail.

The right thing to do would be to go through proper channels. It's bad enough that we have foreigners coming into the US illegally. We don't need our citizens bringing in foreigners illegally as well!
Personally, I'm surprised the Haitian police managed to catch them with all the problems their having there. Still, Laura Silsby and Co., were out of line.

Nintendo chief = iPad envy
While Jobs did look pretty silly holding what appeared to be an over-sized iPod, the gadget has a lot of great features. iPad will likely crush Kindle and Apple will take over the eBook market. But I don't think it will end there.

Ah yes, Japan. The land of tight family bonding.
Is that bonding, or bondage?

Saipan is not exactly a prison. It's more of a tropical paradise. Still, you're right - some people have made some pretty dumb (callous) comments about Haiti.
I think France is just embarrassed and is expressing it in a bad way.

grow veggies on the rooftops in the cities. done properly, it will reduce the price of vegetables, as well as the price of cooling buildings, help clean the air and even provide a great place for a walk during lunch time.

well put movieguy. The US makes it hard for legitimate applications for entry to the country and yet seem to welcome the illegals from Mexico with open arms. Makes me sick.

So USA giving aid to Haiti will look good to the world, and the US can probably coerce the Haitian government to supply some troops for US wars (once Haiti is back on it's feet)
Looks like a win-win situation for the US government.
Just don't "liberate" them and make them a territory!
