bin Laden fake

A spanish lawmaker named Madrid was not happy to hear that the FBI used HIS picture as what Osama bin Laden might look like today. Now he is embarrassed to come to america with that picture posted up and now U.S. airports use photoscanning technology and they will arrest him if he even tries to come in. Madrid says that he is just angered by this because it is shameless. The FBI says that he looks almost exactly like the computer programmed image that they tried to make out of bin Laden's Photo.

Although this is a really serious situation, why couldn't the FBI just stick with that computer programmed picture that they made instead of starting up this conflict by taking chances with a stunt? This could scar relations with the U.S. and the spanish. They should trash that photo of Madrid the lawmaker and replace it with something else.

De-Muslimized France

France is planning to ban the full muslim face veil. A muslim woman - Faiza Silmi who is married to a french man La Verriere has a full face veil and has been declined of her french citizenship because of it. Executing this law could go against many peoples' religions but France still agrees to put it in action anyway. "They say I'm too attached to my religion" said Faiza Silmi word for word. Face covers are rare in France seeing though as muslims make up only 5 million of the population. President Nicholas Sarzoky plans to put this law in action by june 2010. He says word for word "this dress is not welcome in france". He also plans to ban it from schools as well. Although, a bunch of critics say that the ban would go against basic rights and transgression of the fundamental principles of the republic.

Now the critics are right on this fact. Banning full muslim dress just because it doesn't look good WILL go against peoples' religions and could possibly start conflicts which will possibly emerge into a civil war between french muslims and the french. Now let us just hope that it doesn't create a chain reaction. It will be much easier to let the muslims keep their religion. This goes against "freedom of religion".

Black Terrorists?

A Nigerian man was accused of trying to bomb a U.S. Airliner on Christmas day. He was also accused of attempted murder and an attempt to use a weapon of mass destruction on a plane. Obama immediately bursted into action by increasing the amount of security in U.S. airline terminals and upgrading detection systems. Obama word for word said "The spy agencies did not Connect and understand". Apparently the bomb was stitched into his underwear but failed to detonate on board the flight.

What I wonder is "How...in the world....did they NOT.. find a bomb on him through the metal detector? The screening guy probably wasn't paying attention to the beeping noise or that man is really good at sneaking past the detection police. If metal detectors can find bombs in clothes and suitcases..even fruit cakes, then you must pretty sure that they can see through underwear and jeans.
