Moments before the picturewas taken in January last year, the unsuspecting victim had been waved over by a group of US soldiers who had driven to his village in Kandahar province in one of their armoured Stryker tanks. According to testimony collected by Der Spiegel magazine the boy had, as a matter of routine, lifted up his shirt to reveal that he was not hiding a suicide bomb vest. That was the moment Morlock, according to a pre-arranged plan, threw a grenade at the boy that exploded while other members of the rogue group who called themselves the "kill team" opened fire. More my immediate reaction after seeing this article was, how often does something like this happen? can this be blamed on only a small group of soldiers or is this sort of despicable behaviour more rampant? some use moral authority to separate 'us' from 'them'. some use examples like beheadings to illustrate how we're different than 'they' are. i wonder what those people have to say after this or after revelations at abu ghraib. here is a little more: Despite being a setback in the propaganda war between the western coalition and its insurgent enemies, Nato will be relieved that for the time being only a tiny sample of a total collection of roughly 4,000 images and video clips have found their way into the public domain. 4000 images taken by the same group or by different groups? The publication of the photos will also mark the ultimate disgrace of the group of young US soldiers, who are currently facing military justice for killing innocent civilians for sport and mutilating their bodies by cutting off fingers and ripping out teeth to keep as trophies

it's not a disaster, but i still would not allow a child to drink it. heck, i wouldn't drink it either unless if i had no other choice. curious, if you have a child, would you be okay with him/her drinking the water or vegetables which have high level of i-131?

i agree that you cannot compare them. dancer, on the other hand, wants to equate them. i am not pro-palestinian. i am pro justice. there have been on many occasions where i've been against what palestinians have done. just because i criticize israel, it doesn't make me pro-palestinian. your story of events was cute, but it missed a lot of points which, if mentioned, would ruin your narrative and your pro-israeli story telling. there would be too much to write as a response, since trying to simplify 40+ years of events cannot happen. what dancer is trying to do here is to misinform people about the israeli settlements. everyone knows that without the israeli government, the settlements would not be happening. dancer wants us to believe that the settlers are moving to the occupied territories like a canadian would choose to move to the united states. as you said, it's a nonsensical analogy.

don't play stupid. the israeli government paves the road to move israelis into the occupied territories by giving free or cheap housing plus all moving expenses. if israel did not build the houses, the highways and did not give ton of other incentives, majority, if not all the jewish settlers would not be in the occupied territories. your comparison with canadians moving to the states is stupid because the situations are nowhere the same.

i realize that there is a lot of exaggeration in the risks involving the radiation and how the media is trying really hard to create a story that isn't really there. but when the levels of radiation found to be twice the safe level, there should be some concern and any parent should make sure that their child does not drink the water.

why not try to respond to the comments made towards the misinformation you're trying to spread before responding to comments directed to others? you do a lot of these drive-by misinformation and when you're called on it, you hide like a little rodent and decide not to respond to them. you claim that the israeli government has not established the settlements but reality and facts disagree with you. the international court of justice agrees that israel is behind the settlements and that they are illegal: Recalling that the Security Council described Israel's policy of establishing settlements in that territory as a “flagrant violation” of the Fourth Geneva Convention, the Court finds that those settlements have been established in breach of international law. ICJ

would you allow your child or a child you know to drink from the tokyo tap water? Tokyo's tap water is unfit for babies to drink after radiation from Japan's quake-hit nuclear plant affected the capital's water supply, officials said. link

due to the lack of time, i will not go and dig up what i think you have said. if you have not tried to justify israel's one-sided attack on gaza which killed hundreds of civilians and injured thousands more, then i sincerely apologize. please confirm that you are/were against the attack on gaza by israel so i will not make this mistake again. not that it justifies making false accusations, but i have also challenged you to support your accusations you've made to me before a few times and you have not. take that into consideration.

thousands of canadians who live in the USA were not given money, tax breaks and cheap housing to move to the states. the canadian government also did not create buffer zones in canadian only settlements and the canadian government did not create canadian only highways in USA that are restricted for only canadians. how many more times are you going to fail before you admit the truth?

there are a few organizations within the UN which are a benefit to society.

link?

are you talking about the creator of this thread who named the thread: "muslim murders entire juewish family!" ?

uh oh. rue has gotten into another flustered rant. you cheered the attack on gaza which killed over 1000 civilians and over 300 children. want to rub some of that blood in your own nostrils?

you mean the israeli government gives no incentives for these settlers to live in the occupied territories?

you are embarrassing yourself again.

if i may, here is the reference. dancer has a bad memory. both naomi and myself and probably others have reminded him of the illegality of the wall and the settlements both in the west bank and in east jerusalem. but he keeps forgetting.

the flotilla that was attacked in international waters by israel was inspected before sailing to gaza and also inspected by israel and no weapons were found. so yeah, you kind of suck at this. -d

? #1 - ny times is american while crtc is canadian #2 - CRTCditches bid to allow fake news Canada's broadcasting regulator has abandoned its attempt to change a regulation that prohibits the dissemination of false or misleading news.

shady! i think for the first time we are in total agreeance! i especially like how rand paul says that foreign aid to countries such as israel ($3 billion +), egypt and saudi should be cut off! i'm sure you do too! rand paul IS AWESOME!

the following is a series of posts made by people on facebook, sharing their feelings on the american government assisting the japanese; http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/upload/2011/03/i_hope_these_people_arent_your/GodBlessAmerica.php not sure what drives this illogical thirst for vengeance and hate.

The US said it had moved one of its aircraft carriers from the area after detecting low-level radiation 160km (100 miles) offshore. BBC

you are pathetic, bob. you agree that all of gaza should be wiped out just like the pathetic woman who wants to and enjoys people being killed. i have no time for bottom feeders like you.

it's kind of pathetic to try to convince people that israel shouldn't be criticized because there are other bad stories out there. the supposed biased in the guardian does not change the fact that israel has repeatedly violated international law and the rights of the palestinians.
