RSSSo That’s Why Bill Clinton Did It
Well 1 Out of 3 Ain’t Bad. Of course there is no question of which one he chose.
Prove that you do not sleep with little girls, Senator
A journalistic organization based in Europe (big surprise) is asking President Bush to prove that he was not intentionally killing journalists in Iraq. What a great example of the Press taking a cheap shot and creating the impression, excuse me, following Eason Jordan’s lead, in thinking the US military is targeting the media.
BRUSSELS, Belgium (AP) – The International Federation of Journalists on Friday urged U.S. officials to provide credible evidence American troops did not intentionally kill two television cameramen at a Baghdad hotel in 2003.
The two were killed April 8, 2003, when an American tank fired at the Palestine Hotel, where scores of journalists were based during the U.S. invasion of Iraq. U.S. officials insist the soldiers believed they were being shot at when they opened fire.
Jose Couso, cameraman for Spanish television network Telecinco, and Taras Protsyuk, Ukrainian TV cameraman for Reuters, were killed by the U.S. tank.
But critics say the journalists were targeted by U.S. troops moving in on Baghdad, and the IFJ said Friday a report on the killings was a “whitewash.”
In a letter to President Bush, IFJ General Secretary Aidan White wrote, “the United States stands accused of failing to meet its obligations to deliver justice and fair treatment to the victims of violence by its own soldiers.”
Following the Palestine incident, then-U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell said American troops opened fire after drawing hostile fire from the hotel. He said a U.S. review of the incident found the of force was justified.
Based in Brussels, the IFJ is an umbrella group that brings together journalists’ unions in over 100 nations. It claims to represent more than 500,000 media professionals.
Another prime example of an unbiased and honest media. William Randolph Hearst would be proud of the IFJ.
The walking man–keep him walking for our troops
The walking man–keep him walking for our troops
This man is walking around the world for God to bless our troops and keep them safe. Please pass him on so that he can reach his destination. Say a prayer for the troops in Iraq, and then pass him on to bless others. This is really interesting how someone did this. He’s walking around the world – via e-mail! Pass it on so he can get there!
My nephew sent me this one, very cool.
And they are both cool. My Nephew and the image. Thanks Ben!
Do Not Open Microsoft Security Alert Email
If you get this email, just delete it.
WASHINGTON (AFP) – A mass e-mail being circulated by hackers purporting to be a Microsoft Windows update alert directs computer users to a fake website where a Trojan virus is installed, security experts said.
AFP/HO/File PhotoThe security firm Websense said it began receiving reports this week of the e-mail claiming to be from Microsoft, coincidentally after the software giant announced it was making security updates.
“This e-mail spoofs users into thinking that they must update their Windows software,” Websense said.
“Upon clicking on the link, users are forwarded to a fraudulent website. This website is hosted in Australia, and was up at the time of this alert. The website appears very similar to the real Windows Update site.”
But when a user attempts to perform the update, a Trojan horse virus is installed that allows hackers access to the infected computers, the company said.
The British-based security firm Sophos also issued a warning about the scheme.
“This criminal campaign exploits the public’s rising paranoia about the security of their Windows computers. If users fall for it they may put themselves at risk of being spied upon or having their credit card and online banking details stolen,” said Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant for Sophos.
“We have long recommended that computer users keep up-to-date with the latest security patches, as Microsoft vulnerabilities are often exploited by viruses, worms and hackers. But users must be very careful to be sure they are going to the official update websites, rather than just following links in emails which have been sent by hackers.”
Google Maps
Google Maps has to be one of the most enjoyable new toys on the internet. Make sure you are looking at the Satellite images.
For some areas you can see a much closer image than you could imagine, and also have the ability to drag the picture around to see what is not on the initial screen without having to reload the page.
Click on the image on the right to see where I was this past week. It is the East end of St. John in the Virgin Islands.
If you are looking for a great and relaxing vacation destination, there is no better place.
