timorborder: Moreover, as the President has pointed out, any photos of abuse of muslim individuals is not going to win the US any friends in certain Islamic countries.

badreligion: It's not a "flip-flop" to change your mind after thinking deeply and considering all the angles of a decision. It's called wise decision-making.

He did not say he "would think about open government". He promised. Going back on a promise is to flip-flop. If he wants freedom from such…

Madverts: It almost makes Iran seem reasonable, until you think about that poor artist girl they hung last week.

23 year old girl? Who was naturally hung for being an artist right?

The little detail you don't mention is that the charge was no less than murder.

Fax machines often have logging functions which would be able to show where it was sent. Also, it is possible to look up what numbers have been dialed. So, it would be more secure to discreetly pass it on.

namabiru4me: this is down the road from me. they are doing construction for a new, unnecessary, overhead highway making a straight heavily trucked industrial road into a curvy, heavily trucked industrial road.
