BBC NEWS UK All UK 'must be on DNA database':

"The whole population and every UK visitor should be added to the national DNA
database, a senior judge has said. Lord Justice Sedley said the current
database, which holds DNA from crime suspects and scenes, was 'indefensible'
because it was unfair and inconsistent.The whole population and every UK visitor
should be added to the national DNA database, a senior judge has said. Lord
Justice Sedley said the current database, which holds DNA from crime suspects
and scenes, was 'indefensible' because it was unfair and inconsistent."


My first thought on this, was why not. Having all the DNA of every person in the country means they would be able to track all DNA evidence found at a scene. I am not sure how this could be abused, but there probably are ways. If it is abused, those people who have abused the system should be punished. Lots of things are abused, but still useful. The benefits of having the data base in my mind out weigh the slight chance that it could be abused.

It is also an interesting point about the equality and fairness of the system. If I commit a crime with a weapon, and my DNA is on it - not on file, and a convicts are on it - and on file. The police will focus on the convict and may never investigate far enough to identify me as a suspect.

Man sues police to get his porn back - Yahoo! News:

"SAN RAFAEL, Calif. - A man recently released from jail after being
convicted of secretly videotaping a woman and a teenage girl has sued a Marin
County police department for the return of a massive porn collection taken
during the investigation. ADVERTISEMENT Dennis Saunders, 59, filed suit against
San Rafael police in Marin County Superior Court after the department refused to
give back some 500 pornographic movies and 250 magazines his lawyer described as
unrelated to the peeping case."


This story speaks for itself...

Crooks and Liars » Romney Fundraising Scandal Ignored By Liberal Media - Clinton Gets Hammered Over Hsu

Crooks and Liars » Romney Fundraising Scandal Ignored By Liberal Media - Clinton Gets Hammered Over Hsu:

"August was a disastrous month for Republicans and the Romney campaign took a
huge hit when it’s national finance committee co-chairman, Alan B. Fabian was
charged in a 23 count indictment, including charges of money laundering, mail
fraud, perjury and obstruction of justice. It’s reported Fabian, a former Bush
Pioneer, allegedly ran a scheme that netted him millions of dollars which were
used to purchase beach front property and travel. The Romney campaign said they
would return Fabian’s $2,300 campaign donation, but not funds donated by others
through him. Fabian stepped down from Romney’s campaign shortly after his August
9th indictment — but you may not have heard much about this scandal."


I don't think it can be said that his is a issue of one party or another, what this is an issue of is power and money and the abuse of those two things. That is part of humyn nature that binds all of us. It does not make it any less wrong, anyone who breaks the law should pay.

Red State Update: Announcing Fred Thompson

Crooks and Liars » Mitch McConnell Press Conference: Al-Qaeda Baby!

Crooks and Liars » Mitch McConnell Press Conference: Al-Qaeda Baby!:

"McConnell: “Those reports will be before the Congress next week..ugh..I
think most of my members are actually interested in what the facts are. I don’t
think most of them have made up their minds before they get the reports and
they’re intensely interested in what’s going to be in these two reports to
Congress and I think that will largely determine where the majority of our
members come out. And of course we haven’t heard from the President either about
what he thinks is the way forward. I can tell you what I would personally like
to see if that’s worth anything to you. I would like to see us with at least
some level of bi-partisan agreement that we need a long term deployment
somewhere in the Middle East in the future for two reasons…Al Qaeda and
Iran."


I think if we abandon the region, it will create a backlash against us in the nations in the region that will suffer. Iran would get more powerful, Al-Qaeda would not stop hating America or planning attacks on America. They would only have more power, more money and a message that America deserted its friends when they were in need. We cannot abandon the region and we cannot abandon Iraq.

Romney is worried about Thompson - AMERICAblog: A great nation deserves the truth

Romney is worried about Thompson - AMERICAblog: A great nation deserves the truth:

"While Thompson, the 'Law & Order' television actor and former senator from
Tennessee, will be in Los Angeles for the Leno show Romney will be among the GOP
contenders at a Wednesday night debate in Durham., N.H. 'I think it will boost
the ratings for Jay Leno's show, but I'd rather be doing well in New Hampshire,'
Romney earlier told reporters before he marched in a Labor Day parade in
Milford, N.H. Romney also took a jab as Thompson's long delayed decision to
become an official candidate for the GOP nomination. 'Well, I guess the only
comment I'd make to Fred Thompson would be: Why the hurry? Why not take a little
longer to think this over? From my standpoint, if he wants to wait until January
or February, that would be ideal.'"


Yeah why not just run next time...

Honestly I think Romney has the most to lose by Thompson joining the race. Thompson is more conservative than either Romney or Giuliani, and to some degree that will pull down votes for both of them. However I think that what is keeping Giuliani going for a segment of the population is the single issue of terror. There is a group that remembers seeing him on 9-11 and will vote for him because of that. McCain has no solid base at this point, so it will be easier for his base to shift towards Thompson.

Republicans are apoplectic over Craig's new plans - AMERICAblog: A great nation deserves the truth

Republicans are apoplectic over Craig's new plans - AMERICAblog: A great nation deserves the truth:

"So Larry's thinking about sticking around the Senate. That latest
development in the Craig scandal has Republicans freaking out. Sure, Larry is
looking for vindication. Let's just say, this also feels like payback. The
Minority Leader, Mitch McConnell, publicly chastised Craig last week -- and
basically forced his resignation. But, now Larry's fighting back -- and
blatantly challenging McConnell and his leadership. What changed, one
wonders?"


This really wasn't a good choice for him in my opinion. I think that if he had left now, with the long history that he has had the story would die. He wouldn't be forever remembered for his wide stance, or his not being gay. Staying in office is going to keep the story alive in the press, and could result in him being defeated in the next election. This is probably why other republicans are so upset, they know that it will be easier for a Democrat to defeat Craig than a replacement.

Saddam’s Cousin, 'Chemical Ali' Gets Death Sentence | Air America Radio

Saddam’s Cousin, 'Chemical Ali' Gets Death Sentence Air America Radio:

"An Iraqi appeals court has upheld the death sentence against Saddam
Hussein’s cousin, “Chemical Ali.” Chemical Ali, was put to death for
masterminding a genocidal campaign against Iraq’s Kurds in the 1980s. 'The nine
appeal judges have upheld the death sentence against Ali Hassan al-Majeed and
... the sentence must be carried out within 30 days,' Munkith al-Fatlawi, the
chief prosecutor in the trial, said on Tuesday."


I hope this doesn't turn into the same kind of circus that the Saddam hanging did. It is understandable that these people are hated, but acting in an unprofessional manner reflects more on who the executioners are than the executed.

Brit’s Bodyguard Charged with Battery :

battery in connection with an altercation with a photographer last month. Brit
was exiting the Wynn Hotel in Las Vegas, when photog Andrew Deetz approached to
take photos and was knocked away by “CJ” Camera."


Just a note here, if I were the person that was running the photo agency of the person that got hit, I would do my best to see that this got dropped. Why? To create goodwill that could be used later, if my agency did something to disturb Britney. It isn't right that it happened, and I would hate it if it were me that got attacked. I would understand that there would be benefits to working with Britney and not against her.

celebrity nation: More Lohan family ugliness

celebrity nation: More Lohan family ugliness:

"Dina Lohan's new boyfriend has fired back at Michael Lohan for calling him
a boozer unfit to be around his kids. Jim McMillan, in an email sent to Page
Six, calls the troubled father of Lindsay Lohan a violent, drug-abusing criminal
who never deserved his 'classy, intelligent' ex-wife. Last month, Michael had
his lawyer write to Dina, complaining she had shacked up in the family's Long
Island home with McMillan. He charged McMillan gets drunk around his youngest
kids - Michael, 19, Ali 13, and Dakota, 10 - and makes inappropriate comments.
'He is no example. Nor is he a substitute father,' Michael said. In a scathing
response, McMillan rages: 'First and foremost, I am a gentleman. I have never
been inebriated in front of [the children] or said anything about a man I know
nothing about. I did decide to learn about Michael Lohan and did a quick
background check. The following is public record, fact and irrefutable: on
10/13/84, you struck, choked and kicked Susan L. Hubbard of Ohio, causing
fractured facial bones. In [New York], there are 10 arrest records found for
securities fraud, DWI, assault, grand larceny... Dina has never been arrested or
charged with anything"


You clearly know what kind of person Michael is, but I do think you are off a little bit on that description on Dina. She is just as much a drunk as Lindsay was, they partied together remember. Which brings up the question, how does one party with their underage daughter? She is not classy, and from I have see of her on TV, she is not all that bright. As for you, we shall see in time what kind of secrets that you hide.

Either the child welfare office in LA is very lax on what they think a good mother is, or some of these rumors that we have been hearing are unfounded.

Democrat Edwards gets fresh union backing - Yahoo! News:
"DES MOINES, Iowa (Reuters) - U.S. Democratic presidential hopeful John Edwards
won labor union backing on Monday from steelworkers and mineworkers, putting him
ahead of rivals in declared union support, his campaign said. The former senator
from North Carolina, endorsed by the carpenters' union on Thursday, now has the
support of unions representing more than 1.8 million members and retirees, more
than any other candidate in the November 2008 White House race, the campaign
said."

This is going to give him a bump is the primaries, but I still think that he is unelectable in the general election, if he is on the stage with Rudy, Rudy is going to mop the floor with John. Further, the unions don't have a lot of power in the general election.

the advice of their own security advisers in April 2004, ordering their truck
drivers to speed through a 5-mile (8-kilometer) combat zone in Iraq to deliver
jet fuel to the U.S. military, according to a newspaper investigation."


There are two sides to this that I can understand. One is that the fuel does need to be supplied to the army, if the trucks drive too slow and the driver or the truck becomes a target and doesn't get through, the fuel isn't delivered. On the other hand, at all times vehicles should be driven with care towards civilians and troops.
