I don’t want to link to them, but it’s in the “World” section of the website and dated
Dec. 21, 2006 from the Assoc. Press. (So perhaps it was reported a bit in the american media?)

But if you want to research the original reporting of the story, you’ll get a lot of hits if you put in the following search terms in google: razavi lavarene ben laden (razavi and lavarene were the journalists reporting on the story) or change “ben” to “bin” and you’ll get stories in German and in English.

BUT I don’t know anything about the validity of the story. I’ve only seen that German TV report, which was just a recounting of the original French story, so take it all with a grain of salt!

Is this to be the fate of our democracy? With Mad King George the Third and Mad King George the Forty-Third being the bookends in our grand experiment in self-government, of the people, by the people and for the people? Have the Tory thugs finally won? Have one-third of our fellow citizens gone completely bonkers, preferring that their children be raised under tyranny instead of in the sweet-scented fields of our freedom-loving democracy? Would this “one-third” have sided with Mad King George the Third during the American Revolution, and his claim of the “divine right of kings”, since they seem so entranced with the current Mad King George, the Farty-Turd, with his similar “divine right of kings” mentality?

Incredible. The Second American Revolution is upon us, and we’re having to deal with Tory traitors again.

Bad arithmetic, good metaphor.

When we were in Moskva we saw the building where people went to inquire about their missing relatives. My colleague said no one ever got an answer. All missing people died.

To be near this building made me physically sick.

Will we have such a building in the future?

Jane rocked. Mr und Mrs Air America, did you hear?
