The Long Walk

A city police chief who led an investigation into charges that Britain cooperated with secret CIA flights to transport terrorism suspects without formal proceedings has been found dead, his deputy said Tuesday.

Manchester Chief Constable Michael Todd, 50, was found dead in Snowdonia, about 240 miles northwest of London, Deputy Chief Constable Dave Whatton said. He had been missing since going out for a walk Monday during his day off.

Todd's investigation concluded last June that there was no evidence to back the claim. Last month, however, Britain admitted one of its remote outposts in the Indian Ocean had twice been used by the United States as a refueling stop for the secret transfer of two terrorism suspects.

  Raw Story

I think it’s time for British officials in sensitive "War on Terror" matters to quit going for walks.

As Clueless As We Are

In an indictment of the once-unassailable British educational system, a quarter of British citizens believe that Winston Churchill was a purely fictional character. However, half believe that Eleanor Rigby, the Beatles’ creation, was a real person.

What a Difference a Year Makes

England is out. France is in. We have a real French poodle. England is being advised to be a little more French.

Have they renamed the fries in the Congressional cafeteria? Probably you can now once again order French fries and French toast. But you'll probably only be able to get Freedom muffins.

....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
