  • That's what you get when you privatise these things and have guards who are on short term, poorly paid contracts. When you have guards who value their pay packet and their job security, they have something to lose and will think twice.

• NYT: Cables shine light into secret diplomatic channels

  • I root for wikileaks. I wish they had existed in 1991/1994 when the German Kohl government colluded with the French Mitterrand government to line their pockets at our family's expense, which has since even led to a death in the family.

  • Well done! Straight from Josef Stalin's rules. cuts down on excess population, too, which needs to be fed, housed, clothed, and medicated for no purpose at all.

  • The stock market is too removed from the price/yield factor. A multiple of 14 is the GUIDELINE for buying stocks. I.e. 1 $ dividend last year, stock is worth 14 $.

  • Wouldn't profiling cost government/taxpayers money? That would be quite verboten under small government and the rating agencies would award penalty points very swiftly (downgrading the Federal Government's credit rating), which is a very damaging short-sighted practice.

  • Why not call in sucessful experts from the former East Berlin? If my memory serves me right, there was only one tunnel under the Berlin Wall that was successful for a little while, definitely not a lot. Not bad for 28 years!

• Jury convicts DeLay in money laundering trial

  • WELL DONE! I take my hat off for not sweeping the issue under the carpet. We became victims of the (German) Kohl government corruption in 1994/95 when Kohl's party pocketed millions, probably even hundreds of millions, in kickbacks/illegal donations through privatisation fraud.

  • Fascinating discussion. Like the Obama election 'WE WANT CHANGE!' Then he's working out the change. Then it gets watered down until there is practically no change. Then people ask 'What's he doing about the change he promised!' You can only switch off - good bye.
