#1 The poisoning of 250 men, women and children in the Sidon town of Teffahta was dragged into a deepening electoral conflict between Hizbullah and Amal on Tuesday, with both sides accusing the other of responsibility for the illnesses.

These guys take their politics seriously! Talk about poisoning the discussions. Interesting article.

#2 Wow! Hard to believe that a lack of ethics might be to blame for so many people dying. Aren't all of these resistance people supposed to be such upright folk? This one really rips my heart out. Who would have thought that allowing violent promoters of terror within your own community could backfire in such a way?

#3 Interesting. Reminds me of so many scenes in sitcoms where two people are confronted with accusations, and they both point to each other and simultaneously declare, "He did it!" Of course, this is a lot more serious than any sitcom.

#4 Of course, this is a lot more serious than any sitcom.

Yeah, the laugh track is louder.
