A person who is caught red handed having sex with a sheep or horse or indeed any other animal will go to jail. Anyone distributing tapes containing explicit sexual handling of animals by humans will get a fine. Holland is known for its live sex of (usually illegally imported ) people with fish, dogs, sheep, horses, etc. and last year a lot was done to highlight this in the news all around the world. The Dutch freed kidnapped girls who were forced to have live sex with dogs in a show. The girls were send to a detention centre and deported. A law was formed to protect the dogs. At least a law will be implemented soon. Of course we will not stop here. Kidnapping and forcing girls to do these things should be forbidden too but so far the Dutch make too much monies on this so no law will be implemented and only paper tigers exist. They thought this one over for four years!!! Nice one. A sheep would take a shorter while to come up with this law. http://indexx.knipt.nl/?p=175 for the story in Dutch. ... read full story / add a comment

"............Five years into this battle, there is an understandable debate over whether the war was worth fighting … whether the fight is worth winning … and whether we can win it. The answers are clear to me: Removing Saddam Hussein from power was the right decision – and this is a fight America can and must win… Over the past five years, we have seen moments of triumph and moments of tragedy. We have watched in admiration as 12 million Iraqis defied the terrorists, went to the polls, and chose their leaders in free elections. ........" http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/shared/bsp/hi/pdfs/19_03_08_bus...h.pdf ... read full story / add a comment

"........She is one of the faces symbolizing the Iraq war. Pictures showing her abusing Iraqi detainees in Abu Graib prison brought her notorious fame throughout the world. In her first interview in three years Lynndie England talks about Abu Ghraib, about Charles Graner, about guilt, her current life - and the role of the Bush administration........" The German current affairs magazine "Stern" publishes the Lynndie England interview Wednesday in its European print edition, but online versions are already available. It may be remembered that when the photos and scandal broke, Rumsfeld pleading ignorance asked how was he supposed to know what happened during the night shift in a prison on the other side of the world. As details of the abuse of extreme sexual nature were partially revealed he made a statement which is partially appended below. ... read full story / add a comment
