(Via ConservativeHome) Tom Newton Dunn, No humanity for ‘evil’ Taliban
A BBC news girl attacked TV yesterday for failing to show viewers the Taliban’s “humanity”.
Presenter Lyse Doucet’s astonishing statement comes as an Apache gunship hero revealed the fanatics aim to capture a British soldier and SKIN HIM LIVE on the internet…
But BBC World News correspondent Doucet claimed the public also want to seeing the kinder side of the Afghan extremists…
Probably someone already posted this, but…
Hack the Olympics!
There’s been some widely publicized controversy regarding the competition age of the Chinese women’s gymnastics team recently. Rather than be too CNN, I decided to take a page from my friend Johnny and investigate on my own. I have an Internet connection, that means I should be able to verify the age of the gymnasts in question with primary state-issued documents and find out for myself if someone’s cheating, right? Right. Let’s go to work.

“Zombie: The Denver Games – Opening Ceremony
(Zombie’s reports are cross-posted at Pajamas Media.)
Although the Democratic National Convention doesn’t start until today, Monday, August 25, the protests against the convention started the day before on Sunday.
The PJM/LGF/zombietime photo team had not yet arrived in Denver, but luckily fellow photojournalist and LGF/zombietime stringer “El Marco” was on hand to record the day’s goings-on.
(For this one report, all the photos are courtesy of El Marco; captions and layout are by zombie.)
Let the games begin!”

“(Dion) is essentially refusing to meet and, not only refusing to meet, refusing to speak by phone,” Kory Teneycke, Harper’s communication director, said Monday.
“This is a sign that he’s, for all intents and purposes, broken off communication with the prime minister.”

Canada says 12 dead in food poisoning outbreak
Mon Aug 25, 2008 6:44pm EDT
WINNIPEG, Manitoba (Reuters) – Twelve people have now died out of 26 confirmed cases of food poisoning linked to deli meats produced at a plant owned by Maple Leaf Foods Inc, Canadian health officials said Monday.
There are another 29 suspected cases of listeriosis, officials told reporters, and Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz said the government expected more cases in coming days.
Maple Leaf Foods, one of Canada’s biggest meat processors, had said it hoped to reopen the Toronto plant associated with the outbreak on Tuesday, but health officials said they will test and hold all meat produced there until they are satisfied it is not contaminated.
Maple Leaf has voluntarily pulled about 220 products made at the plant in one of the biggest food recalls ever in Canada, with direct costs to the company of about C$20 million ($19 million).
Listeriosis, an illness that is particularly dangerous for pregnant women, the elderly, infants and people with weak immune systems, was a contributing factor in seven of the deaths, the Public Health Agency of Canada said.
Five others had the bacteria in their system, but the causes of their deaths are still under investigation, said the agency’s Mark Raizenne.

Maple Leaf Foods Launches Formal Process to Sell its Burlington, Ontario Primary Pork Processing Business
TORONTO, Jul 22, 2008 (Canada NewsWire via COMTEX News Network) — TSX: MFI
mapleleaf.com
Maple Leaf Foods (MFI: TSX) today announced that it has begun the formal process of selling its Ontario pork processing business located in Burlington, Ontario. The process will entail a solicitation of interest from potential purchasers, commencing immediately. The Company anticipates that the sale process will be completed by the end of 2008.
“Our Burlington, Ontario business is well established, with long-standing customer relationships, a skilled and stable workforce and an excellent mix of value-added business,” said Michael Vels, Chief Financial Officer of Maple Leaf Foods. “It operates one of the more efficient pork processing plants in North America, strategically located close to high density markets. Our investments in the plant and our people have resulted in a profitable business that represents an excellent investment in the global pork processing industry.”
The 365,000 square foot Burlington facility has a processing capacity of up to 50,000 hogs per week, is located in close proximity to major domestic and U.S. markets, transportation routes and a skilled labour pool, and is licensed to export its pork products to nearly 50 countries worldwide. Maple Leaf has invested significant capital in this location over the past decade to develop a very extensive value-added business serving well-established domestic and international customers.
The decision to sell this business results from a re-focusing of Maple Leaf’s protein operations towards prepared meats, meals and bakery, involving divestiture or exit of several of its primary processing and agriculturally oriented businesses.
some guidelines to Maple Leaf foods :
Maple Leaf food needs to change
the presidnet of company to new president able to walk to plan and existing one Michael McCian is only busy with financial of company and not even walk to plan to understand santization need to done by USA new technology and they need to have new lab to test microb before start making and test the food randomly after the food made to made sure do not send anything with any desiseas out to people
those 12 dead will bring each at least 12 million law sue from theri family to need to pay by Maple leaf

team of managment of Maple leaf such as
Bruce MceCualal and his boss need to say good bye to managment of this comapny causes so much lost to the company and Maple leaf need to rehire better team for their company
and back to feet again
Maple leaf need to cut the ads in newspaper and TV and
