I'd often wondered if this event would pass without attention. Thankfully, I'm wrong again. War Price on U.S. Lives Equal to 9/11 Sep 23, 1:36 AM (ET) By CALVIN WOODWARD WASHINGTON (AP) - Now the death toll is 9/11 times two. U.S. military deaths from Iraq and Afghanistan now surpass those...

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060719/ap_on_re_as/afghanistan This is a news story that has almost gotten lost in the wealth of good news from the Middle East. It seems that U.S. and Afghan government forces retook two towns that had been captured/invaded by the Taliban. I guess this really is...

Today, the third anniversary of the President's moving "Mission Accomplished" speech on an Aircraft carrier, reminds us how much has been accomplished in so short a period of time. Iraq, finally, is at peace. The horrors of war have been banished from that land. Its oil production has surpassed...

Wait a minute! Which one is it? Are the troops leaving in 12 months or in 2 years? Is Iraq stabilizing or going into civil war? Are the Iraqi troops ready or not? British troops out of Iraq in two years, says general By Oliver Poole in Baghdad The Daily Telegraph...

85 per cent say 'US mission was "to retaliate for Saddam's role in the 9/11"' http://www.theage.com.au/news/world/us-troops-favour-getting-out-of-iraq/2006/03/01/1141191729975.html 85 Percent of US Troops in Iraq believe that? It is time the misinformation from the Bush Administration was...

I thought of some. I don't know how many are original or remembered from other sources. It seems like a rich vein to tap. "Placebin- does exactly what it says on the tin. Support your Local Homeopath- a joint message from Thames Water and British Sugar Homeopathy- for when doing nothing is...

"Beat the **** out of detainess" That's how US soldiers were told to treat prisoners in Iraq , according to documents obtained by the ACLU: quote: "The ACLU said the reason for the delay in delivering the more than 1,200 pages of documents was "evident in the contents," which include reports...

Mr. Randi I have spotted the logical trap in your exercise. An "exercise to demonstrate that it is not possible to sort out pseudoscientific gibberish from purposely invented gibberish." As I doubt that the makers of the device in question have actually conducted any sort of study of anything...

http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20040409/ap_on_sc/russia_mars_2 Sounds a little fishy to me. $3.5b is way below NASA's estimate of $20b (IIRC) and I doubt that existing spacecraft have the ability to make a return trip. Though, it would be very exciting if it's true. :D I'll...

Man Confesses To Torching Homes; On 'Mission From God'

The Stardust mission is a probe sent to collect material from different comets and return them to earth for study. I've seen a few articles and television news spots recently about the mission. To my surprise, I have yet to hear any Doomsday predictions about the material the probe will be...

All this discussion about a manned Mars mission has me thinking about other possibilities. What about sending humans to the moons of Jupiter? There are 4 mini-planets within a few days of each other. Europa has an ocean of liquid water, (do we know this for sure?) and Ganymede and Callisto have...

Yesterday, I listened to the Bush press conference and heard this question. http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn/A29127-2003Oct28?language=printer Now when he says the sign was put up by "members of the USS Abraham Lincoln saying that their mission was accomplished" I assumed it was their...
