Today's Round Up

Just a few quick items to note today-

First up is a brand new conspiracy theory regarding Katie Holmes' relationship with Tom Cruise- just what happened to her during the 16 days in April of this year when she was "missing"? Was she brainwashed by Scientologists? Oddly, the one explanation that's missing from this story is that she and Cruise might have been spending those 16 days together. If you know what I mean.

Who needs a gun to take down big game? Not this 73 year old Kenyan grandfather who was attacked by a leopard- he dropped his machete and instead chose to reach down the beast's throat and rip its tongue out. Don't mess with that man.

Remember the attempted chemical attack on Jordan? The trial is under way and this is revealed- after the fall of Afghanistan at the end of 2001, Zarqawi and other al Qaeda veterans made their way to Iraq, where, secure under the wing of Saddam Hussein, they plotted chemical weapons attacks on countries friendly to the U.S., as well as the murder (successfully carried out) of an American diplomat.
In other words, Saddam Hussein did have links with international terrorism. Odd that this isn't getting major press coverage, isn't it?

Finally Fjordman reports on the barbaric practice of honour killing- murdering members of ones family to protect "honour"- if only these people had any idea of what that word truly meant. Despicable. "My daughter fell over and broke her knee. I took her to hospital and there the doctor told me she was pregnant. So I killed her. It's as simple as that." It's utterly chilling that these words could come from a mother's mouth.

A little local news now- the IRA has finally admitted that they murdered a fourteen year old girl in 1973- a death that they had previously blamed on British troops. They also murdered a British soldier in "retaliation" for the girl's death shortly after. No apologies for that I see.
