In sworn statements, two ex-employees claim Blackwater’s owner, Erik Prince, murdered or facilitated the murder of individuals cooperating with federal authorities investigating the company. One also charged Prince “views himself as a Christian crusader tasked with eliminating Muslims and the Islamic faith from the globe.” We speak with investigative journalist andbestselling author Jeremy Scahill, who broke the story for The Nation magazine.

"irrespective of the uniforms we wore, we were all victims"

It's impossible to imagine what it must have been like.

to be honest I think they've missed the mark with that promotion - I'd give them a fiver if they promise not to inflict a radiohead track on me.

This website is full of fascinating / terrifying stuff.

Yasha Levine is living in a sub-prime "exurb" as an experiment and his articles about it are well worth reading:

Some worrying shit going on there Jasper, good find.

On a sadder note...

Parents baffled by Science

Maybe its just me, but I learnt the answers to the top three questions as a child.....and still remember them (although now have a bit more SCIENCE to bulk it out in more detail).

Anyway, if you feel stoopid 'cause you can't answer questions your kids ask you, why not get of your arse and do something about it. Plus if you'd paid attention in school in the first place you might have avoided the question of "Where do babies come from?" in the first place as you might have used some contraception and avoided having children at the age of 13.

The top three most-asked questions were: "Where do babies come from?",.....

Answer: "ask your mother".

Right I'll stop posting stuff from The Exiled for a bit I promise but first, this will be really interesting for anyone with an opinion on journalistic integrity and "balance".

I would recommend avoiding the video link unless fat people do it for you.
