#1 Rights groups say that more than 1,300 civilians have been killed and 10,000 people tossed in the calaboose by security forces since mid-March

All in all, about like a regular week in Pakistan.

#2 The Syrian government whacking citizens in Hama? That is certainly unprecedented. Aside from the last time, I mean.

#5 Look at the bigger picture, mojo. The big international event, one that the entire ~~tranzy dog pack~~ international community was preparing for, was supposed to be the flotilla II incident (anybody doubts that one would've been manufactured no matter what?). Only one problem, Bibi managed to pull a hat out of a rabbit. So poor (not "Monkey's bun", bad grom!) Ban is a bit confused & lost right now.
