The senior Pakistani intelligence official told the AP the two men in the response vehicle that went to aid Davis, killing the bystander, have left the country. The official said the Pakistani government’s decision to let them leave was a concession to the U.S.

@GJDailleult - Davis was alone in the car. The third person who died was a motorcyclist and he was hit by a 2nd car coming to the aid of Davis. After hitting the motorcyclist, the 2nd car fled the scene and went back to the Consulate. The 2nd car never made it to Davis. The Pakistani knew the identities of the men in the 2nd car and they were allowed to leave the country.

The remarkable thing is that if Kim Jong Il doesn't nuke Tokyo, this will probably be the biggest story of the week.

Actually this is a really smart military defence move by the Japanese; as long as the pandas are in Tokyo, NK would not dare nuke Tokyo.

That makes a rather large and unprotected target for the enemies.

On top of what smartacus and EE said, some of the top executives of these so call non-profit charities have huge salaries into six or seven figures U.S. dollars. It's a real disgrace. I am not contributing to their big salaries.

Posted in: Many global charities reported a drop in private, corporate and governmental donations in 2010 due to the ongoing recession and "donor fatigue" over the numerous requests for help in the aftermath of disasters throughout the year. What are your thoughts on this?

Updated estimate is roughly 5000 birds and a state veterinarian tells NBC that preliminary necropsy results from several birds show that they died of "multiple blunt trauma to their vital organs," though what caused the trauma remains uncertain. According to Dr. George Badley, their stomachs were empty, so they weren't poisoned, and they died in midair, not upon impact with the ground.

I wonder how long have they been married? She must have been simmering for a very long time and really hated him to do something so cruel.

There is no such thing as year of the deer.

The deer is probably quite familiar with people petting and feeding it.

@koriyamaboy

But GM was only fined $1 million for the same footdragging. I think that is the point. Why such a disparity? Please read the article in full jamal2609.

So how many accidents was caused by the faulty windshield wipers? And how many people died from the faulty windshield wipers?

@pamalot

My 70 year old aunt sent me the link to the Youtube clip. I didn't look at it for a couple of days because I didn't think much of it, but after I watched it, I was pretty amazed what that couple could do and had a total new view regarding pole dancing.

Anyone interested in broadening his/her horizon, go to Youtube and search for "Pole Dancing Like You've Never Seen It". It's a couple pole dancing. Sorry it's not sleazy.

Julian Assange had no legal obligation or responsibility to protect U.S. classified information and therefore he did nothing illegal.

Is possession of stolen property illegal?

@miamum

"She does speak good English, and although I am not sure of her family circumstances in Okinawa, moving to a country you have never been to before with a young child is not a decision to take lightly, I am sure she has thought long and hard about it and decided her son has better opportunities over there"

The lady visited her husband's hometown for his funeral in 2008. She and the baby also stayed for almost a year with her in-laws in Maryville, TN, from Feb 2009 to Jan 2010 so I am sure she understands what it is like to live in Maryville, TN.
