Could Osama Bin Laden Be Dead?

Probably not. But, some pretty interesting gossip nonetheless…A leaked French intelligence document indicates that Bin Laden may have died of typhoid, but no French or US officials have been able to confirm the report. Check out the story here, here and here. The Saudi’s are apparently now denying that there’s any truth to the report.

Aren’t We Supposed to Believe That Government Control Over The Economy Helps Lead to a Clean Environment?

Funny that communist and former communist countries have such a poor track record when it comes to the environment. Check out this article on acid rain in China…

China had its worst spell of acid rain in August with Beijing among the hardest hit, the China Meteorological Administration said Friday.

The CMA report said 19 of the 155 acid-rain monitoring stations across China recorded acid rain every rainy day last month. Beijing had 80 percent acid-rain days, the news service Xinhua reported.

Acid rain erodes most building materials as well as crops, leading eventually to human consumption.

Rain traditionally slacks off from September on.

China is the world’s biggest sulfur dioxide polluter, with 25.49 million tons discharged in 2005, up 27 percent from 2000.
