    Mos Def and crew arrested for singing about gov's screwup of Katrina response

    On the surface it may seem like a reasonable response. Authorities concerned over security, or alleged lack thereof, at an unscheduled outside concert. Concerned for the welfare of citizens and the performers they were taken into custody. I'm sure many consider this reasonable. So why this...

    Canadian Telecoms fold like a kite as Canada is expected to reintorduce Internet monitoring bill.

    Further proof that the telecom industry is completely in bed with big government. The only reason the bill did not pass last time is because the Liberals were in the middle of being replaced by the Conservatives whom are now reintorducing the same law the Liberals had earlier. This reminds...

    17 year old Iranian girl sentenced to death by hanging...

    Technically it's their own business from my own political point of view. Having said that, if this story is confirmed, this is enough to cut all diplomatic ties with the country and ask that Canada's allies all cut diplomatic ties with Iran indefinitely. That's my comment. No major news...

    Bush takes responsibility for invasion intelligence.
