Ret. U.S. Major Gen. says: "the current administration committed war crimes"

June 18, 2008 9:51pm

It's obvious to anyone with two or more properly firing neurons that presidential pardons will be the official gift at this year's White House Christmas party (and I wouldn't put it past Bush to try and pardon himself as well), but it may by helpful to point out that under the Constitution, Article II, Section 2, the President only has the authority to issue pardons for federal crimes ("Offenses against the United States"). It's possible that some enterprising state prosecutor could take it upon him/herself to file state charges against Bush and his cronies once they leave office...say, for the murder of any soldier from that state who was killed in combat as a result of Bush's illegal war.

Scientists to make cows fart like kangaroos

I don't really get what the point of this is supposed to be.

The carbon's got to go somewhere...if not through flatulence, then through excretion or decomposition, or digestion further up the food chain.

And unlike fossil fuel combustion, cow farts are basically carbon-neutral--the carbon they release into the atmosphere is just the carbon absorbed from the atmosphere by the plants they eat, not something dredged up from two miles underground where it's been sitting for hundreds of millions of years. It's fossil fuel consumption that's the problem, not the normal carbon cycle of the earth's biomass.
