Oh Joyful Update

Welcome and greetings from the Un-Zone. One final down, four more to go. Evidence is finally over. Yay. Now it's time to slog through Commercial Law, Estates and Trusts, Constitutional Law and Business Associations I. Ain't that going to be fun?

Christmas light displays. Quite possibly, this family has way too much time on their hands or they sure do like their light displays. 25,000 lights set to Trans-Siberian Orchestra. It's real, all real and not some crazy hoax. Video to boot.

The Salvation Army every year does their bell ringing. Some people are total Grinches and steal themoney inside. In one case, this leads to bad karma. As in crashing a stolen car containing alcohol and drugs, plus the kettle into a canal and drowning.

You gotta love the CIA and their way with words. As if the government can't sound any more ludicrous. Waterboarding is not torture, despite the Army saying it was during Vietnam. Now they are explaining "rendition" or seizing alleged terrorist suspects and transferring them for interrogation. If they make an error, as in seizing an innocent person, the CIA "punishes" itself for making this mistake. To quote from the article:

One official said about three dozen names fall in that category; others believe it is fewer. The list includes several people whose identities were offered by al Qaeda figures during CIA interrogations, officials said. One turned out to be an innocent college professor who had given the al Qaeda member a bad grade, one official said.
"They picked up the wrong people, who had no information. In many, many cases there was only some vague association" with terrorism, one CIA officer said.

One supposed suspect who turned out to be innocent, was held for five months in some prison in an unknown location becauseMasri was held for five months largely because the head of the CIA's Counterterrorist Center's al Qaeda unit "believed he was someone else". This person "didn't really know. She just had a hunch." And these people work at the "Central Intelligence Agency." You would think they had better inteligence than "a hunch."
Then again, if I were to be sarcastic, President Bush was right when he said that the US doesn't torture. They send suspects to other countries where those people do the torturing. There's a BIG difference there.

That's all for now. Time to study for Commercial Law.
