I’m not sure this is the way to do it

I think there’s quite a bit of hypocracy when you have an American court using the trial of Zacarias Moussaoui to discuss the human and emotional cost of 9/11. George Bush will never have to go through a similar trial in Baghdad to listen to witnesses talk about the human and emotional cost of losing their relatives during the war and current occupation of Iraq. It must be great being immune to prosecution for a possible illegal war. In this trial though I just can’t see the point in raking up all the feelings of New Yorkers in front of that man. Find him guilty and send him to the chair, I don’t mind, but reading out the names of the 2972 people who died that day seems wrong.

Environmental annoyance of the day: New Greenpeace research shows that McDonald’s are partners in forest crime that is creating a trail of destruction right into the heart of the Amazon rainforest. The chicken they sell is fed on soya grown in areas of the Amazon that have been illegally cleared. Check out this flash animation.
