#2 The Caymans. Zurich is in a fight with the U.S. government -- USB, I think -- which wants the names of some 56,000 Americans who hid money from being taxed... so the precedent is set.

The Hamas government turned a blind eye to the trend since it was making good use of the income

So that's where they got the money to pay for all those arms and training going into Operation Cast Lead.

#3 Hamas Finance Minister Ziyad Thatha commented on the affair saying, "A number of investors collected millions of dollars in a way that is against sharia (Islamic law) and we will operate against them."

I have spoken to the mayors and will "call the out" on it if it continues!

#5 Not to worry - Obama's tunnel bailout program is coming soon. $900 B worth.

#6 that local police arrested a broker who collected an almost fictional-sounding amount of money 480 million dollars in payments

So a single broker managed to collect 480 million bucks from "empoverished" Palestinians? If they were so empoverished why is that they had so much money? How much could you expect to collect in, say Darfur?

Dear Rantburgers, at a time where the Obama administration is planning to give "empoverished" Palestinians another billion dollars it would be time you write your congressman about it.

#7 Nobody listens to my congressman, JFM. He's a first-term Republican, in a district which has voted Republican since it *was* a district. I've tried yelling at my senators, but they're both chowderheads - and only the Democrat bothers to reply with form letters.

#8 There is no need he lisitens as long as he listens you and he doesn't want to be a first and last time representative.

#9 Luckily, the Obama administration is ready with a $900 million bailout. Talk to Bernanke for another billion or two.
