...welcomes U.S. support, he bristles at opposition taunts that he is America's agent, in part because his relationship with Washington is not always an easy one. Apart from criticizing what he terms Washington's "one-sided" support for Israel, Siniora became angry during the Israel-Hizballah war last summer when the Bush Administration rebuffed Siniora's expectation that the U.S. would support an immediate cease-fire. He calls Israel "a killing machine" that used Hizballah's capture of two Israeli soldiers as a "pretext" to re-occupy Lebanon.

And potentially thousands more, from anywhere, in real time--and without the stuttervision that dogs streaming video today...
...have every media lawyer in the U.S. waiting to sue them, as was the case with Kazaa. TV networks are pleased with Joost's advanced encryption, which they say makes it virtually piracy-proof. Joost's founders learned the importance of that the hard way: Kazaa was forced last summer to pay more than $100 million to settle copyright-infringement claims...
