Firebrands at CNN

People in my profession are often accused of bending the truth. Of course, journalists would never do such a thing. And especially not people working for CNN, which is, as we all know, a respected news organisation without any bias whatsoever. They wouldn't, for example, take a photograph out of context to make things looking more dramatic.
So when eight U.S. Marines died today, and CNN didn't have any pictures, of the incident, what did CNN do?

That's right: they used a picture of soldiers burning garbage.
Presumably, a New York sanitation worker didn't look scary enough.

My holiday season wishes for Osama Bin Laden

It's not that I generally like the idea of people getting killed. But let me say 'amen' to these fine insights by Tim Blair:

'Welcome back to the realm of the living, Osama! Now we get to kill you properly.'

(Since I am nursing a rather persistent cold, blogging is somewhat limited.)
