(Admittedly, this isn't a very long time, but it's not every day that 5000 people are murdered in a terrorist attack on the US mainland.) We are hardly in a position to get worked up about corruption in foreign governments if this is the kind of stitch-up we permit our own administration to be involved in. If anyone has a link to more info about this then I would be very interested to read it---I couldn't find anything about it at news.bbc.co.uk---and we should submit it to Slashdot forthwith. all the best Damian Ian Lynch wrote:
