All UK 'must be on DNA database'


The whole population and every UK visitor should be added to the national DNA database, a senior judge has said.

Lord Justice Sedley told BBC News the current England and Wales database, which holds DNA from crime suspects and scenes, was "indefensible".

He added it would be fairer to include "everybody, guilty or innocent" on it.

Fellner ein Talibanjournalist ?


H.C.Strache gegen Wolfgang Fellner(ORF) war fad. Wie überhaupt die ORF Sommergespräche 2007 fad sind. Den Westenthaler sah ich mir nicht an (ärgern kann ich nich aus so), gestern hielt ich es immerhin 20 Minuten durch. Wartete das es platsch machte und die 3 Diskutanten mit ihren IKEA Gartenmöbeln in den Weissensee platschten. ......

...... Ja der Herr Oberhauser war auch noch dabei.

Breakfast with bin Laden - Sorry, I forgot to be scared


I shot Lennon; I shot the Pope. I shot the devil; now you got no hope. -- Suicidal Tendencies

It's been an interesting month: I've been breakfasting with Osama bin Laden rather often lately. I can hardly open my morning paper nowadays without reading about al Qaeda.

Apparently, there are al Qaeda cells all over London, al Qaeda cells being smuggled into the American heartland across the Rio Grande via Mexican traffickers, al Qaeda cells on the plane and al Qaeda cells in the doctor's surgery. Truly, Osama is the busiest fear-monger's mascot alive today.

Contest: imitate the CA Governor issuing a warning


My nine-year-old daughter met Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger on a class trip to Sacramento. He met with the students for about 20 minutes, and told them that one of his favorite acting roles was playing Mr. Freeze in Batman & Robin.

He also handed out photos to the kids. He looks very serious in the photo, and the sticker on the back has a similarly serious warning:
