TOP STORY
Why do we find so many people in agreement with the conservative press/politicians here who bash the hostages and demand they pay the Japanese government back for rescuing them? Do people wrongly assume that the government and the people are one and the same? Do they not understand that the government has been wasting far more money endangering the lives of Iraqi citizens and SDF members by supporting the murderous war of Bush and Blair?

-->TWO STORIES
(1) Japanese Hostages Return Home to Mauling From the Right by David McNeil.
(2) NGOs, journalists have own responsibilitiest by Toshimaru Ogura.
