#1 More from the same article:

The agent suspected of firing his gun in the general direction of his colleague's head was said by the media to be an alcoholic with a dependency on anti-depressants.

This kind of thing is why when we lived there we were told not to allow Belgian police/officials into our house outside of normal business hours (9-5, M-F). Incompetence + corruption + cupidity = Belgian officialdom

#3 The civilian agents of the Sûreté de l'Etat, the equivalent of Britain's MI5, are already among the most powerless intelligence operatives in the Western world...

MI5? Sounds like Belgium's eqivalent of mall cops.

#4 This is why Belgium needs adult supervision. It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye head.

#7 Speak of the devil, Assedwich's post right after mine points to it - in today's rants, lol! Being a vampire and out of synch with RB's "day" has its drawbacks. But seeing all of the Zatoichi movies still tilts in favor, heh.
