Evil Rabbis

Really shoddy news article from BBC News online

The headline of this article is "US Rabbis Arrested in Crime Probe". The focus of the very small article, however, is only some of the government officials involved in this case.

I am sure that BBC News will do some followup reporting, but posting the article like that was irresponsible.

As the day progressed and the details came to light, here was the new headline:

"US Rabbi Held Over 'Kidney Trade'" (with no mention of the rabbi)

A few hours later, the story fills out, and the headline becomes "US Corruption Probe Nets Dozens".

The United States of Africa

Colonel Muammar Gaddafi of Libya, elected president of the African Union, calls for the 53 African nations to form the United States of Africa.

If Gaddafi is serious about this, he is going to have his work cut out for him. Although it is possible that forming an African coalition like the European Union may improve the economy of African nations in the long run, will it make peace between rival nations and rival tribes?
