The latest news RE: "Homeland Security", and the failures thereof: The American Justice Dept. has "Misplaced" 11 suspected AlQueda prisoners. These 11 "suspects" were arrested, and have since been "lost".. ... Meanwhile, hundreds of Afghani citizens are jailed at Guantanamo; based on their rumored association with Al Queda. Many of these people have been accused of being Al Queda, merely by those who would collect cash rewards. They have NO legal-representation, NO access to communication, and are being held in contempt of The Geneva Convention. ... Bush today responded to the shortages of flu-vaccine by negotiating with Canadian suppliers. I THOUGHT HE FEARED CANADIAN DRUG-SUPPLIES!!!! At the last debate, he supported his "blocking" the import of Canadian drugs, based on "safety" concerns. Today, he is trying to import them. FLIP-FLOP!!!!!! The company that is responsible for the vaccine-shortage is CHIRON... a factory located in Liverpool England, but owned by an American corp. It seems that CHIRON derives 51% of it's revenue from international-operations. (Some sort of corporate tax-loophole???) They have manufacturing plants in Germany, Italy, England, America, and India. I wonder WHY they can't manufacture vaccine in America??? (See "outsourcing") Is there a shortage of some ingredient that can ONLY be found in foreign-countries?? ...... Yes!!! Cheap-ass workers!!!!! who take away YOUR job!!!!.... Dave
