You need some animals to eat it. Then you can eat the animals.

That's simply down to Blair. It's made him shockingly unpopular here and if he
was to stay as PM he'd make Labour almost un-re-electable.

It was Gaddafi who sent the IRA arms.

Did you really read that article? It debunks the story that Williams had
anything to do with that little piece.

Clinton was successful.

Bush is a failure.

Online Gambling Industry Reels After Arrest
Published: July 18, 2006

LONDON, July 18 - Europe's multibillion-dollar online gambling industry was
thrown into turmoil today after the United States government arrested the
chief executive of a British bookmaking company on Monday, leaving his
rivals scrambling to figure out whether they could be next.

U.S. reels in major drug cartel leader Arellano Felix on fishing trip
12:31 p.m. August 16, 2006

SAN DIEGO - The third of three brothers long suspected of running one of the
world's most powerful drug cartels is in American hands, U.S. officials
announced Wednesday.
Javier Arellano Felix was intercepted Monday by the U.S. Coast Guard aboard
a sport fishing vessel off the southern Baja California peninsula. The
announcement was made in Washington by Deputy U.S. Attorney General Paul J.
McNulty.
When authorities got word that Arellano was aboard the sport fisher Dock
Holiday, about 15 miles off the coast of La Paz in the Sea of Cortez, the
U.S. Coast Guard moved in to intercept her in international waters, McNulty
said.
================================================

So the US is arresting people who have not committed a crime in the US, or
people out at sea beyond their jurisdiction, and this is not piratical
behavior?
