Travelers to Europe May Face Fingerprinting The European Commission will propose tomorrow that all foreign travelers into and out of Europe, including U.S. citizens, should be fingerprinted.

Army Buried Study Faulting Iraq Planning After 18 months of research, RAND Corporation submitted a report in the summer of 2005 called "Rebuilding Iraq." RAND researchers provided an unclassified version of the report along with a secret one, hoping that its publication would contribute to the public debate on how to prepare for future conflicts. But the study’s wide-ranging critique of the White House, the Defense Department and other government agencies was a concern for Army generals, and the Army has sought to keep the report under lock and key. A review of the lengthy report -- a draft of which was obtained by The New York Times -- shows that it identified problems with nearly every organization that had a role in planning the war.

I heard tonight on BBC news the US visitors are up set about being finger printed while visiting the UK. Some has asked the US Embassy to speak to PM Brown about it. Many Americans feel it's an intrusion to them. Well we are a country that can treat others like dirt but expect to be treated with nothing but respect because we're Americans.

Next we'll see countries placing Americans under arrest without charge and keeping them in jail for life. Yes and of course torturing, rape and killing innocent woman/children will be next. As we see Khalid Sheikh Mohammed is in the US Kangaroo court for charges he might or might not have done but thought about it. He even said he killed John Kennedy but only problem is the CIA never knew how to count as Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was born a year after Kennedy was shot. But of course US Lawyers don't see that as a problem as an unborn child went to Texas and shot the President of the United States. We will believe it because Bush/Cheney don't lie do they?
