Veterinary surgeon Gail Cochrane performs a medical check on an anesthetized Asiatic black bear at the Moon Bear Rescue Center at Longqiao, near Chengdu, in China's southwest Sichuan province Monday, Dec. 16, 2002. Twenty rare Asiatic black bears were released into their new home Monday--a sanctuary prepared by conservationists to save them from farmers who drained the animals' bodily fluids to produce an ingredient for traditional Chinese medicine. The site, set in a bamboo forest in China's southwestand financed by a Hong Kong animal charity, is part of efforts to stop "bear farming," which involves surgically implanting tubes to drain bile from the gallbladders of captive animals.(AP Photo/Greg Baker)

A fitting end I would like to see replicated for Gitmo detainees in future US hard labor camps.

I see the Army has deployed the "Trans-dimensional Rift Generators" in Kuwait. The TRG's will have our M-1A1 tanks in the center of Baghdad within .002 seconds - once President Bush gives the word.

Why is it all these photos of astronomical objects on your site (I didn't want to say "heavenly bodies" because so much porn is on the Internet here...)..?

Is help expected from extraterrestrial (ET) allies in this war, or are they on the side of the enemy, or are some on EACH side, or what gives?
