"Gun Owners Irked By Newspaper Database Ploy"

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "(CNSNews.com) - Virginia handgun owners are fired up over the publication of their names and addresses in a database posted online by a state newspaper.
The database of every Virginia resident who holds a state-issued permit to carry a concealed handgun was posted on the Roanoke Times' website Sunday to accompany a column in the paper by Times editorial writer Christian Trejbal.
"There are good reasons the records are open to public scrutiny," Trejbal wrote. "People might like to know if their neighbors carry. Parents might like to know if a member of the car pool has a pistol in the glove box. Employees might like to know if employers are bringing weapons to the office."
However, gun owners contend such public scrutiny could pose a risk to gun owners and non-gun owners across the state.
"I've talked to federal agents who have testified against criminals, and police who have permits, that now have their home address posted on the Internet," Philip Van Cleave, president of the Virginia Citizens Defense League, told Cybercast News Service. "What if a stalker wants to cross check if his victim has a permit?""
Let's take another look here on a different take of an incident we have already posted on.

Morocco: Suicide bomber strikes internet cafe
RICK: Sam, if it's December 1941 in Casablanca, what time is it in New York?
SAM: Uh, my watch stopped.
RICK: I bet they're asleep in New York. I'll bet they're asleep all over America.
"Suicide bomber strikes internet cafe," from AFP, with thanks to JE:
A suicide bomber blew himself up, wounding up to three other people, after being prohibited from consulting radical websites at a Casablanca Internet cafe, Moroccan officials and police said today.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack yesterday evening, in which the bomber was killed.
Two people entered the Internet cafe in the Casablanca suburb of Sidi Moumen and tried to access radical websites, but were prohibited from doing so by the son of the cafe's owner, police said.
"One of the two individuals was then blown apart by explosives hidden under his clothes and died on the spot," said a police official.
