Polish asking how Robert Dziekanski airport death could have happened in Canada
The tragic events that led to the death of confused and visibly anxious Polish immigrant Robert Dziekanski are giving Canada’s image as a kind and hospitable country a black eye in Poland. “Everybody’s asking how this could happen,” journalist David Dastych told Canada Free Press (CFP). “We expect to hear of things like this in Iraq and Iran, but Canada?” Poland is conducting its own official inquiry into the last hours of Robert Dziekanski on Earth.- Tuesday, December 11, 2007

"How many are dead? There are many more dead than the 500 reported by the Bangladesh government," Choudhury said. "Untold thousands of people are still missing and that is one reason the fatalities cannot be accurately reported."
Even as UN delegates meet to take control of the Internet in yet another Rio de Janeiro beach conference Nov. 12-15, Mike Smith, new UN counter-terrorism chief is calling the Internet as it exists: a threat.
In other words, all signs are GO for the UNs' long coveted takeover of the only thing still working, the Worldwide Internet.
If this sounds alarmist, remember that the world's largest bureaucracy is already well on its way to take over Mother Earth's seven seas with only petitions circulating on the Net offering faint hope that Congress will not ratify the Law of the Sea Treaty.
