I finally got babelfish to translate on the 2nd try [after leaving the
Candian JS site called babelfish.com]. That wasn't news to me, because
I'd watched the news on PBS.
For those of you [in the USA] who would like to be exposed to non-
American, non-networked news programs, I highly recommend that you
check your local PBS station schedule. In addition to the BBC News,
which can be a bit biased, they offer the English language version of DW
News ... I think that's the correct name ... German News program which
is done in a very professional manner with neither finger pointing nor
I-toldja-so nattering. Just a good overview of what happened and most
likely didn't garner 15 seconds on network news in the USA.
For those overseas, you may be able to access the DW News {I wish I were
more sure of the name ... sorry} via cable or ??? where you live. IIRC
something was said a few days ago about that news being put on its own
cable channel or ??? Since they farm it out, it may be accessible in
many other areas.
That said, let's get back to the subject at hand -- the loss of civil
and human rights in the name of National Security. It's a bit scarey
...
If I read (and heard) the court's decisions correctly, US Citizens
living here in the USA could be designated as "hostile combatants" for
swinging a baseball bat at the Presidential Cavalcade as it drove by!
Can you imagine how a non-criminal, non-blind, free thinking, freedom
loving, gun owning American could be classified???
It's not a joke ... it's too damn sick to be a joke.
