...Crane concedes that Traudt's letter raised some legitimate concerns, but says these had been addressed before the ambush; the three men's deaths, he adds, were not the company's fault. But Mark and fellow security contractor Neroli, who have since left ERSM - Crane claims they were fired - are critical of the firm. Neroli (not her real name), a former Australian Military Police officer, says the convoy's remaining immobile and Johnson's firing into the air were fundamental errors. Mark says ERSM's use of unarmored cars was "always a concern," and that adding protection is not difficult...
...assertion that life has not changed since same-sex “marriage” was imposed on Massachusetts is irrelevant. Nobody expected the sky to fall. It took several generations for the adverse effects on children of no-fault divorce to be understood, and the research is ongoing. Similarly, the negative cultural impact of redefining marriage will be revealed over several generations, not in several years...
...they beheld the devastationwrought by Hurricane Katrina on New Orleans, residents of San Francisco had a sense of foreboding about their own proud and beautiful city. Ever since 1906, when a massive earthquake along the San Andreas Fault killed thousands and left an estimated 225,000 people homeless, San Franciscans have lived with the knowledge that one day another cataclysmic temblor will rock the ground beneath their feet, toppling houses and apartment buildings, severing water and power lines and rendering roads and highways impassable...
...odds are high that the nearly 750,000 people living in the city today will be pulling out those emergency kits, say researchers with the U.S. Geological Survey. The region around the San Francisco Bay is riven by faults, including the San Andreas to the west of the city and, to the east, the Hayward Fault, which geophysicists consider even more likely to rupture. Over the next 30 years, scientists estimate, the Bay Area has a greater than 60% chance of being hit by a damaging earthquake, defined as an earthquake of magnitude 6.7 or higher. And while a replay...
...offered only faint praise, calling the poll "an important step toward holding fully free and fair competitive multiparty elections" and pointedly hoping that "the flaws that were visible in this election will be corrected for November's parliamentary election." In particular, a U.S. official told Time, the U.S. found fault with the ban on international poll monitors - contrary to what Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice had urged last June - and the state-financed media's overwhelming focus on Mubarak during a campaign period that was too brief for opposition candidates to promote their messages. "But we do see the election...
