MOSCOW -- Russian investigators say they're considering fresh charges against Greenpeace activists who were detained last month for an Arctic protest.
The 29 Greenpeace activists and a freelance Russian journalist have been charged with piracy after their September protest at an oil platform. The charge carries a sentence up to 15 years.
Vladimir Markin, spokesman for the Investigative Committee, said Wednesday that "dual-use equipment" and drugs were found on the Greenpeace ship, Arctic Sunrise. A wee bit late 'searching' the ship, guys?

Ive seen the greenpeace types and I have little doubt they had drugs on the ship. Now I'm not saying the Russians didn't plant drugs either, saves searching time and all that.

#11 When you are finished scaring them, let them go. But keep the ship.
Use it for fishing once in a while. How'd you like to refresh Drudge some day soon and see Pootie standing shirtless on a floating whale carcass, wielding a flensing knife? Not that I don't love whales, but I might die laughing.
[Dawn] THE Nairobi drama holds a lesson or two for Pakistain, especially when we see the differences between Al-Shabaab ... the personification of Somali state failure... and the Pak Taliban.
The duration of Al-Shabaab's control of the Westgate mall and the planning that went into the attack show in unmistakable terms the extent of Al-Shabaab's military prowess, the unimpaired existence of its command and control structure and its ability to recruit more people to its cause despite the heavy military reverses of 2011.

Saturation bombing of the Taliban-ruled 'havens' will merely mean a waste of ammunition,
Sure, but howzabout swarms of autonomous killbots prowling, waiting, and watching...

Too bad they outlawed napalm. That would be an excellent weapon against the Taliban in their mountain caves...
This is almost "Captain Obvious" stuff. Every major terrorist "success" was preceded by a major intelligence lapse by some bureaucratic drone that prevented obvious indications of an event being ignored.
WE have to be perfect to avoid a terrorist act. The terrorists can and are willing to initiate 100 terrorist schemes to have one succeed...they only have to succeed ONCE to make their point.
Most interestingly, these heroes of whatever mutated perverted form of Islam they claim to practice, are hitting soft targets, unarmed civilians, girls at a middle school, a medical clinic, unarmed aide workers, women and children at the market, in all cases they are COWARDS and most likely psychopaths acting out their crazed desires for killing.

Or said another say, we cannot win the game by playing defense.

Dunno Bill, they seem to adhere pretty directly to plain old undiluted straight from the Koran and Haddith type Islam. Got any good reason to think different?
[Dawn] IF further proof were needed that the hostility to the polio ...Poliomyelitis is a disease caused by infection with the poliovirus. Between 1840 and the 1950s, polio was a worldwide epidemic. Since the development of polio vaccines the disease has been largely wiped out in the civilized world. However, since the vaccine is known to make Moslem pee-pees shrink and renders females sterile, bookish, and unsubmissive it is not widely used by the turban and automatic weapons set... vaccination campaign is intensifying, it can be found in the attack on the outskirts of Beautiful Downtown Peshawar ...capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (formerly known as the North-West Frontier Province), administrative and economic hub for the Federally Administered Tribal Areas of Pakistan. Peshawar is situated near the eastern end of the Khyber Pass, convenient to the Pak-Afghan border. Peshawar has evolved into one of Pakistan's most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities, which means lots of gunfire. on Monday. A small medical centre from where vaccination-related goods were being distributed was targeted with two remote-controlled bombs. While the larger explosive mercifully failed to detonate, two people -- one of them a policeman -- were killed and many more injured in the blast caused by the other bomb. This is perhaps the first time a health centre working on the issue has been targeted, and constitutes a worrying new dimension to the resistance to anti-polio efforts that has taken root in the country. Earlier, polio teams and workers have been attacked -- sometimes killed -- and in many cases their security escorts have also suffered. The net result: not only are unvaccinated children being increasingly exposed to a crippling, life-threatening disease, the herd immunity of the citizenry on the lam is also threatened with the resurgence of the poliovirus.
