Scrxw that for a joke.

Until such time as the Japanese own up to their own history, a US President (or any foreign leader) should not saunter down to Hiroshima or Nagasaki to pay their respects, it would both be a travesty to the memory of those who died in…

Just had a look over at Asahi (in Japanese). Apparently he was picked up on a tip off by a passerby. They apparently saw him waiting at a ferry terminal in Osaka (do they have ferries in Osaka?), and the police rushed down there to question him after polishing off…

timorborder, maybe he already has a passport. That Kosuke Inoue was a legit name before it was broadcasted all over Japan.

That is what I was thinking, or am I the only person who fills out a rough copy before filling out final copies of official documentation. Geez, even tax…

Hand him over right now for an investigation. No one else in this country can hide out unless they are servicemen/women.

What a highly inaccurate statement and how short your memory is. Two words - Noriko Sakai.

Interesting idea above. Let's expand on it. Day laboring for construction in Japan is about as low as it gets in terms of employment. It attracts a lot of people with a past that they want to forget. So Ichihashi starts such a job in one place, making friends with…

Not up on the US military justice system, however, I think treason would be a pretty hard charge to prove in the current case. With a pile of dead bodies, witnesses, and forensic evidence out the XXX, I would assume that murder charges would be quite easy to prove.

Well, well, well.

Seriously damaged does not sound like such a good performance.

How much money has this chap wasted through incompetence, bribery, etc. Instead of keeping his head inserted in that place where the sun does not shine, Ishihara needs to come clean on the money lost due to his foray into banking and the disastrous Olympic bid. Failing that, the best…

As I wrote the other day, this case has red flags all over it. As a Muslim (whose attitudes seem to have radicalized over time), any fool (including the chain of command) should have been able to see that placing this chap in a position that required him to debrief…
