The Things Done In His Name
March 18th 2007 13:50
HELLO, WELCOME and Good Day To
You at Todays World:
The grimmer side of the news: (after this it lightens up- I promise)
As an update to the recent column on Khalid Sheikh Muhammed, the confessed terrorist (and at least by his account, the head man) regarding the 9/11 attack on the twin towers of the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, and many other terroristic atrocities.,and other terrorist activity, I have a web site for you to read the entire transcript of his hearing held on March 10, 2007 at the U.S. Naval Base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba: Defense LInk
For those of you how do not wish to enter a U.S. Department of Defense website -for whatever reason- use your search engine with "Khalid Sheikh Muhammed transcript" to access the transcript - lot's of sites..
I have read the transcript and some interesting points to be found:
In a statement described by Muhammed's "Personal Representative" (read lawyer) as being that of Muhammed's (and admitted to as such by Muhammed, himself), and read to the tribunal, Muhammed admitted to being "in charge" (mostly) in 31 different involvements in terrorism of terrorism including the 911/World Trade Center attack and the beheading of Daniel Pearl in Karachi, Pakistan in 2002, and a whole lot of other atrocities.
In a rambling statement made by Muhammed, in English at first, and concluding in length in Arabic, he attempted to justify his actions in the name of Allah. You read the statement and decide for yourself whether or not he was so justified.
OK - OK; ON TO THE LIGHTER STUFF
ANIMAL NEWS:
It seems that a New York parrot owner owns a bird named N'kisi which has a vocabulary of around 950 words, speaks in full sentences and, if its vocabulary is insufficient, makes up its own words much like a child does.
BBC Wildlife Magazine published the awesome skills of this amazing bird. Visit them at BBC It's really a great site for all animal lovers - free newsletter and lot's of other good stuff.
COMMENT: Probably most of my friends don't have that good a vocabulary - just kidding, friends (probably not any longer)
UNCONFIRMED STORY REPORTEDLY REPORTED::
Somewhere, sometime a woman reportedly filed a car theft report with the police. When the officer taking the report found out she had a cell (mobile to some) phone in the car, he called the number and told whoever answered that he had read the ad in the paper and was really interested in purchasing the car.
Well, you guessed it! The thief made an appointment to show the car, kept it and was promptly arrested.
That's good police work - kudos to the cops
HERE'S A FUNNY JOKE THAT PETER IN IDAHO EMAILED TO ME THE OTHER DAY:
Joe called the boss in the morning and told him he would not be able to make it to work that day: headache, stomach ache, legs and arms hurt, etc., etc.
The boss tells Joe "When I am feeling like that, I go to my wife for sex. That makes me feel a lot better, and I can then go to work. You try that."
Two hours later Joe calls the boss and tells him "I did what you said, and I feel great. By the way, you have a beautiful home."
