They have always been there. Better to teach you children to be smart than to take away there quality of life. And no you can't stop all the bad things from happening. You will have to wait for the return of Christ for that. Making everyone supicious of everyone else, and afraid of everyone else is not the answer. It only leads to a breakdown of compassionate values. Only the preditors should be punished.
Discriminate in pandemic, magazine suggests
May 12, 2006.
The sick and elderly should be the last to be given a flu vaccine in a pandemic, according to a controversial paper published today in the journal Science.
Healthy teens and young productive adults aged 13 to 40 should get the vaccine ahead of the old and sick, states the commentary, which calls for a radical rethinking of how countries ought to ration the short supply of vaccine in the months after a pandemic breaks out.

"Bin Laden 'probably back home in US'"

Well nw, anything is possible.
Personally, I speculate that ***PURE SPECULATION***; he probably is in a nice house or apartment in Pakistan or with family members in Iran or heading towards Gaza to meet up with other like-minded folks.
In the USA?
I doubt it; however his height would not be an issue here. There's a lot of tall people in the USA. /end speculation.

Former Federal Computer Security Specialist Sentenced for Hacking Department of Education Computer
WASHINGTON Kenneth Kwak, 34, of Chantilly, Va., was sentenced today by U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth to five months in prison followed by five months of home confinement, based upon Kwaks conviction for gaining unauthorized access to and obtaining information from a Department of Education computer system, the Department of Justice announced today.
Kwaks sentence results from his March 2006 guilty plea to one count of intentionally gaining unauthorized access to a government computer and thereby obtaining information. In his plea, Kwak, who had been working in an office responsible for ensuring the security of Department of Education computer systems, admitted that he had placed software on a supervisor's computer which enabled him to access the computers storage at will. He later used that access on numerous occasions to view his supervisors intra-office and Internet email as well as his other Internet activity and communications; Kwak then shared this information with others in his office.
As part of todays sentence, Judge Lamberth also ordered Kwak to pay restitution to the U.S. government in the amount of $40,000 and serve a three-year term of supervised release. The five months of home confinement with electronic monitoring was ordered as a special condition of this term of supervised release.
The matter was investigated by the Computer Crime Investigations Division of the Department of Education Inspector Generals Office. The case was prosecuted by Senior Counsel William Yurek, cross-designated as a Special Assistant U.S. Attorney in the U.S. Attorneys Office for the District of Columbia, with assistance by Trial Attorney Howard Cox, both of the Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section of the Criminal Division. The prosecution was part of the zero-tolerance policy recently adopted by the U.S. Attorneys Office regarding intrusions into U.S. government computer systems.

U.S. court suspends Saudi's Guantanamo trial
Reuters ^ | 12 May 2006 | Jane Sutton
Posted on 05/12/2006 10:08:44 PM PDT by ncountylee
MIAMI, May 12 (Reuters) - A U.S. judge on Friday suspended the Guantanamo war crimes tribunal of a Saudi prisoner until after the U.S. Supreme Court rules next month on the tribunals' legality.
The Saudi captive, Ghassan al Sharbi, is one of 10 Guantanamo detainees charged with conspiracy to commit war crimes and the fourth to have his case delayed pending the Supreme Court ruling that is expected in June.
He had been scheduled to appear before a tribunal for pretrial hearings next week at the U.S. naval base in Cuba.
In Washington, U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan ruled that Sharbi could suffer irreparable harm if he appeared before a tribunal that could be deemed illegal within a month.
He said the Justice Department failed to prove its claim that delaying the tribunal "would imperil the war effort."
U.S. President George W. Bush created the military tribunals after the Sept. 11 attacks to try foreign citizens on terrorism charges.
Attorneys for another Guantanamo defendant argued before the Supreme Court in March that the tribunals are unconstitutional because they allow the president, through his military subordinates, to define the crime, choose the prosecutor and judges and set all the rules.

India's Ragtag Band of Maoists Takes Root Among Rural Poor
Washington Post ^ | May 13, 2006 | John Lancaster
Posted on 05/12/2006 10:30:28 PM PDT by The Lion Roars
BASTAR FOREST, India -- He's 30 years old, speaks English and is conversant in the language of e-mail and the Internet. Friendly and self-confident, he could be a manager in a call center, or perhaps a software engineer on one of India's gleaming high-tech campuses. But "Comrade M," as he asks to be called, prefers a different line of work: waging war on the Indian state.
Armed with a battered Lee-Enfield rifle that he laughingly describes as "senior to me," the university graduate in an olive-drab uniform with a red star on the breast was one of about 30 Maoist guerrillas encountered recently in this remote forest in east-central India.

D.C. Anti-Bush Rally Features 'Beheaded Bush' Poster (Graphics)
Saturday, February 4, 2006 | Kristinn
Posted on 02/04/2006 6:44:16 PM PST by kristinn
About 1,000 people gathered in rain-swept Washington, D.C. today at an anti-Bush rally organized by the World Can't Wait, a front group for the Revolutionary Communist Party.
Held on the grounds of the Washington Monument, the rally capped a week of activities by the group demanding President Bush leave office immediately because of their opposition to the Iraq war and other Bush policies.
The organizers planned for a crowd in the tens of thousands, but as the photos below show, they spent a whole lot of money planning for people who never showed.
One woman who did attend the rally made it all worthwhile them, though. She carried a poster that featured a blood-dripping beheaded President Bush.

Pakistan sent stinger missiles to Iran by mistake says Intelligence Chief
URL: http://www.india-defence.com/reports/1907
Date: 11/5/2006
Agency: Daily Times, Pakistan
Topics: pakistan iran missile defense
Islamabad: Pakistan did not supply Stinger missiles to Iran and only 35 missiles reached Iran that too by mistake, said Lieutenant General (r) Hameed Gul, the former director general of the Inter-Services Intelligence.
Talking to a private TV channel, Gul said the Inter-Services Intelligence had supplied 50 to 70 Stinger missiles to former Afghanistan prime minister Gulbadin Hekamtyar.
He said most of the missiles should have been exhausted because of redundancy in their batteries, and only few of them might still be operational.
The number of attacks on United States aircraft in Afghanistan by the Taliban shows the militants might have acquired anti-aircraft missiles from elsewhere, he said.
