flaring strife? is that a slight exaggeration, perhaps?

I wonder what the writer of this headline would call the bottle throwing "spat" during speed-skating practice. http://www.ctvolympics.ca/short-track-skating/news/newsid=41665.html#bottle+throwing+spat+heats+asian+rivalry

"... the media in Japan didn't air the full clip of the accident, ..."

Wait a minute. The JT quesion of the days says that the nation media DID show the whole thing. Did they? Or is JapanToday referring to a nation other than Japan?

Oh, and that few seconds of film could have been the 12th February or it could have been the 24th of January. 2007. All we have is Watson's word.

And that is more than adequate for some people. Less than adequate to others.

They were aiming down at the water, right? Not across. There were two blasts. Fire extinguishing equipment? Regular testing? Some new fangled capiscum blaster? Could be anything. Did not appear to be fired at anyone. Just down into the sea.

That's what I saw.

Sorry, I've watched the little video from Sea Shepherd and just don't see any evidence to make me believe there was pepper spray involved or that those shots were being blasted at a target.
