Talk:Execution of two gay teens in Iran spurs controversy

--80.220.179.101 17:37, 25 July 2005 (UTC)See the Washington Times source article. It appears from the source article that the two were hanged for rape of a 13-year-old boy. Granted, this might have just been a stated reason, but the story currently does not present all the facts as reported by other media. -- IlyaHaykinson 02:12, July 23, 2005 (UTC)

Changed title of story to more accurately reflect content. --Wolfrider 03:25, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

 * I have changed it again, note the Arabic original story says nothing or rape. The latter reports by the Iranian government of the so-called rape came after international furor. Lalala 03:34, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

 * I should have read more closely. Thanks. --Wolfrider 03:35, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

It seems the conviction was for homosexual acts, not rape, so the rape thing really was put out there after the fact.
 * But is it true about the rape? That's what we need to find out.  --Mrmiscellanious 13:59, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

that includes the allegedly right wing bias Fox News Channel and The Times
 * Can someone please reformat that statement? --Mrmiscellanious 14:27, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

Took out hanging picture?
The picture of the boy being hanged was better than the map of Iran. It is a picture from the story as opposed to a map that I can find anywhere.
 * It was deleted because it was a copyvio, we can not use photos from other news organizations . --Cspurrier 14:28, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

I really think this is a bad idea on many levels. How do you safeguard this advertisment from attracting pranksters who may call and lie to us just to get their vandalism-by-proxy on the site?? -- Davodd | Talk 06:45, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
 * It's much easier to ell that someone's lying by their voice than by a post they make onto the internet. I'd really appreciate if you'd get consensus before you delete pages.  -- NGerda 16:32, July 23, 2005 (UTC)

 * If we did encouter a vandal on our program, we have tools to swiftly remove them from contact. --Mrmiscellanious 16:34, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

Davodd raises the same concerns I have. This is a non-starter. We also don't need this spammy template appearing on extremely serious stories a lot of people are working very hard on. Dan100 (Talk) 16:37, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

Deletion
Creating a template does not and should not require consensus, use of the template does however, so I have undeleted it. --Cspurrier 16:36, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

Capitol Hill Democrats hold informal hearing on Plame leak

July 23, 2005 Democrats on Saturday turned over their radio broadcast to a former CIA agent and Republican, Larry Johnson, who accused President George W. Bush of flip-flopping on his pledge to fire anybody on his staff involved with the Valerie Plame leak.

Johnson, a participant in yesterday's Democratic hearing on Capitol Hill, said "We deserve people who work in the White House who are committed to protecting classified information, telling the truth to the American people, and living by example to the idea that a country at war with Islamic extremists cannot focus its efforts on attacking other American citizens who simply tried to tell the truth."

House and Senate Democrats held a highly partisan hearing Friday where four retired U.S. intelligence officials aired views that were critical of the Plame leak itself, and then critical of Bush administration and Republican efforts to minimize damage caused by the controversy. Former CIA case officer, Jim Marcinkowski, testified that the current administration policy of setting a criminal standard for dismissal was too high, and that Bush should take action on those persons involved. "Each time the political machine made up of prime-time patriots and partisan ninnies display their ignorance by deriding Valerie Plame as a mere paper-pusher, or belittling the varying degrees of cover used to protect our officers, or continuing to play partisan politics with our national security, it's a disservice to this country," he said. The hearing was not an official proceeding of Congress. Democratic lawmakers organized it after Republican leaders in congressional committees with jurisdiction in these matters rejected their request for a legislative oversight hearing. Representative Henry Waxman (D-CA), the ranking minority member of the House Committee on Government Reform, said "A special standard seems to apply to Karl Rove: There will be no questions asked, and no accountability."

Meanwhile, a Vermont native Dennis Morrisseau, 62, plans a Republican run for a soon to be vacated seat in the House of Representatives. Bernard Sanders (I-Vt) will leave the post in his run for a Senate seat. Central to Morrisseau's bid is his pledge to bring articles of impeachment against George W. Bush.

Inter Milan cancels tour of England due to safety concerns

July 23, 2005

The Italian football team Inter Milan have cancelled their tour of England, where they were to play the English teams Crystal Palace, Leicester City, Portsmouth, and Norwich City. The four matches were due to take place between 25 July and 31 July.

The cancellation of the tour has come days after a failed bomb attack on London. Only one match — the game against Crystal Palace — was to have been played in London.

Inter Milan confirmed in a statement that the attacks on London compelled the club to cancel their tour of England, saying that: "Football takes a step back because of increasing serious events which touch the sensitivity of everyone. For this reason, and given the situation, the club has decided to cancel the team's tour of England."

The cancelled matches

 * 25 July against Leicester
 * 27 July against Crystal Palace
 * 29 July against Norwich
 * 31 July against Portsmouth

Responses
So far, the Leicester and Norwich websites have confirmed that tickets sold for the games against Inter will be refunded.

According to the Crystal Palace official website, officials at the club are "saddened and angered" at Inter's decision.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called WikiFreak. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name WikiFreak~enwikinews that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:23, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Man shot on London Underground unconnected to bombing, says Scotland Yard

July 23, 2005

Scotland Yard issued a statement that Jean Charles de Menezes, the 27-year-old Brazilian electrician shot to death yesterday by police in a London Underground station was "not connected" to Thursday's bombings and called the incident "a tragedy". A day earlier, the police commissioner said the man was "directly linked" to Thursday's attacks.

The police statement said "We are now satisfied that he was not connected with the incidents of Thursday 21st July 2005. For somebody to lose their life in such circumstances is a tragedy and one that the Metropolitan Police Service regrets."

The man was followed when he left a flat that had been under surveillence. He did not obey instructions from police (not in uniform) as he ran onto a Tube train at the station. Eyewitnesses said he "was wearing a large coat, unusual for the time of year", but didn't seem to have "any guns or anything like that; I didn't see him carrying anything. I didn't even see a bag to be quite honest."

Mark Whitby, apparently the closest eye witness said; "He half-tripped, was half-pushed to the floor. The policeman nearest to me had the black automatic pistol in his left hand, he held it down to the guy and unloaded five shots into him."

The shooting is being investigated by the Metropolitan Police Service's Directorate of Professional Standards and the Independent Police Complaints Commission, which investigates all fatal police shootings.

Home Secretary Charles Clarke described the shooting of Mr Menezes as an "absolute tragedy" before going on to say "I hope [the family] understand the police were trying to do their very best under very difficult circumstances."

Alex Pereira, a cousin of Mr Menezes, also living in the UK, was interviewed by the BBC and said "Apologies are not enough. I believe my cousin's death was result of police incompetence." He also stated that he believed his cousin had been "a victim of government's mistakes".

Brazilian government reaction
The Brazilian Government "look forward to receiving the necessary explanation from the British authorities on the circumstances which led to this tragedy" and have dispatched their foreign minister Celso Amorim to London in order to get an explanation from the British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw.

Mr Amorim said "The Brazilian government and the public are shocked and perplexed that a peaceful and innocent person should have been killed." Going on to say "Brazil is totally in solidarity with Britain in the fight against terror but people should be cautious to avoid the loss of innocent life."

Microsoft announces name of new version of Windows: Vista

July 26, 2005

Microsoft Corporation has announced that the official name of the next version of its Windows operating system will be "Windows Vista". The system was formerly referred to by the codename “Longhorn.”

Brad Goldberg, the general manager of Windows product development, said the new name is aimed at "communicating the idea of clarity." Microsoft has said that this new version will include better graphics and security.

Windows Vista is scheduled to launch in the second half of 2006; this will make five years after the launch of Windows XP, the longest interim yet between releases of Windows. Additional details on Windows Vista will be released at a developer's conference in September. Beta testing of the software targeted at developers and IT professionals will begin on August 3.

Space Shuttle Discovery launch scheduled for Tuesday

July 23, 2005

NASA has announced that the Space Shuttle Discovery is due to blast off on Tuesday 26 July at 10.39 am EDT.

The news that the 43 hour countdown will be restarted on Saturday comes after the successful resolution of the problems that forced the aborting of the previous launch attempt.

The countdown includes 28 hours of scheduled "hold time" bringing the total time period up to Tuesday.

The launch had been scrubbed previously due to a faulty main fuel tank sensor which was sufferring from electromagnetic interference. Engineers fixed the problem by improving the electrical grounding of the system to reduce interference.

 * Yes, agreed. Eyewitness accounts are clear that the poor guy was already on the floor and they deliberately killed him. This is certainly a murder by any reasonable definition. 217.44.22.208 06:12, 24 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Unfortunately, the citizenry of the UK,like that of the US, has become so sheepish and cowardly that murder,lies and torture by our governments are allowed to continue with little/no public outcry. The buck stops here. Paulrevere2005 11:10, 24 July 2005 (UTC)

Previous article say he was followed onto train by 3 plainclothes policeman. How was he supposed to know they were police? Maybe his english was poor. Ran away, must be guilty. THIS incident increases terror.64.165.203.210 18:57, 24 July 2005 (UTC)

Reuters speculation
I cut this as Reuters is wrong. Nothing has changed; British police do not have to give any kind of warning when they believe there is an "immenent threat to life". Dan100 (Talk) 18:42, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Reuters also refers to "aiming for the head" when in fact the victim was shot in the chest. Dan100 (Talk) 18:43, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Heads up;Dan; just heard on CNN that the unarmed victim was shot 3 times in the head. Paulrevere2005 19:33, 24 July 2005 (UTC)

According to pretty much every UK media source it is clear he was shot five times in the head. Even the Police are admitting that in cases where the person is a suspected suicide bomber it is considered "correct" to shoot five times in the head in order to minimise the ability of the individual to detonate their device. Of course, we now know this guy had no bomb, no record and no connection with terrorism. (source BBC News 24, not looked up a text source for this)

British citizens who are not eyewitnesses should refrain from promoting Government spin on these news stories.
I am trying to do something about the blatant pro-government POV in this story (The POV is shown by the minimizing of the eyewitness accounts of the "execution style" killing of this innocent man and by not mentioning the Police Commissioner lied yesterday;eg; " A day earlier, the police commissioner said the man was "directly linked" to Thursday's attacks" AP []. Why is the AP source not being allowed in?? Paulrevere2005 18:51, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

This story is part of World War III; the link below shows, perhaps, how WWIII was engineered?
[]

George Bush Sr. has 12 prime military aged grand children(7 men and 5 women). None of them are fighting for freedom; they are all lounging in Maine and Palm Beach. The link above shows how Bush Team #1 engineered WW III by giving Saddam the "green light" for attacking Kuwait; If you do not feel like reading the entire transcript, you can scroll to the section in red where the U.S. Ambassador,upon instructions from President Bush Sr., assures Saddam that the U.S. will not intervene in the Iraq/Kuwait conflict.

"We have no opinion on the Arab-Arab conflicts, like your border disagreement with Kuwait. we express no opinion on this issue and the issue is not associated with America."

Then, like a good papa hyena, Bush Sr. left some of his catch for his cub to finish eating. As Paul Harvey always said.."now, that's the rest of the story." Paulrevere2005 22:51, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Not even you could believe half the bollocks you write.

It is hard to believe; but the transcript(link) is the transcript; and I didn't write that. Paulrevere2005 11:18, 24 July 2005 (UTC)

'fatally'
should say 'fatally' shot, imo

How packed was tube train?
Has anyone seen reports of how crowded the Tube train was when the guy was shot? That seems like a rather important bit of context in explaining why the officers may have done what they did. --NeuronExMachina 11:46, 24 July 2005 (UTC)

comment on UK "terror raids"
see the link below for an interesting article re: Forest Gate "terror raid" which resulted in another innocent man shot by Metropolitan Police in context of raids in connection with alleged "terror threats"

"Forest Gate: botched terror raid claims more innocent victims"

NASA announces astronaut glove design contest

July 24, 2005

NASA's Centennial Challenges program has announced its latest prize contest, the Astronaut Glove Challenge. The competition, a collaboration between NASA and the non-profit Volanz Aerospace, will be held in late 2006 and will award $250K to the team which produces the best-performing glove within contest parameters.

The basic idea was originally proposed last year on Rand Simberg's Transterrestrial Musings to improve on current gloves, which have difficulties with remaining flexible while maintaining constant internal pressure.

Previously-announced competitions include prizes for superstrong tethers, beaming power, and extracting oxygen from lunar regolith. These are all part of a large recently-announced program, which will potentially include 'an eight-figure prize for the first privately developed robotic moon lander.'

Citing sources
Hi Mr Wikinerd, welcome to Wikinews! This is just a note to make you aware of the two most important policies on Wikinews: the neutral point of view and the cite sources policies. It's a very good idea to read through both of those and bear them in mind when editing articles. Dan100 (Talk) 23:04, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Just saw your message. I think it would be OK to link to the source even if it is in Greek, as it's a pretty uncontroversial statement. We don't normally allow non-English sources simply so people who only speak English can fact-check articles, but I'm sure we can make an exception this time! Dan100 (Talk) 23:07, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Www.wikinerds.org. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Www.wikinerds.org~enwikinews that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:23, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Renamed
 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: . -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 06:41, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

Stock exchange merger could end San Francisco stock trading

July 24, 2005

After the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) completes its acquisition of Chicago-based electronic trading company, Archipelago Holdings within the next 12 months, the impact will also be felt in San Francisco, California as the future of the 123-year-old Pacific Exchange (PCX) becomes murky.

This stems from a deal struck in January of this year, before the NYSE merger, when Archipelago struck a deal worth $83 million to take over operations of the San Francisco stock exchange and its 260 employees. All PCX operations are scheduled to be under Archipelago control by the end of September. Archipelago had planned to maintain the San Francisco operations.

As details were released Thursday of the April NYSE-Archipelago merger to the Securities and Exchange Commission, all Archipelago functions are to be folded into NYSE operations, including the PCX stock and options trading business. The report did not state whether or not the San Francisco employees would be kept after the merger is complete.

Started in 1882 at the San Francisco Stock Market, the Pacific Exchange, along with other regional stock exchanges, has suffered as customers shifted to electronic trading, which bypassed the need for stock exchange services in many instances.

Egyptians conduct roundup of bombing suspects

July 24, 2005 A new explosive detonated on Sunday near the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt police said. It was reportedly carried by a man from a tourist bazaar. The man allegedly was carrying the bomb in a sack. It might accidentally have exploded in the area of Kufr Tuhurmus. No other injuries were reported except to the bomber himself, Sami Gamal Ahmad, who was too badly injured to be questioned. The man may have been taking the explosive to the tourist area of Kerdassa, where souvenir shops are located in a bazaar near the pyramids, said an official.

Egyptian security forces have detained 70 suspects in a sweep to find the perpetrators in Saturday's early morning bombings that killed 88 and left hundreds injured.

The police investigation of the bombings has targeted a smaller number of people than the October 2004 roundup that followed attacks in the Sinai resorts of Tabas and Ras Shitan. 3,000 people were detained for questioning in those bombings. According to Canadian CTV, 200 of those people are believed to still be in custody.

A massive manhunt was undertaken in the Sinai Peninsula to identity whether it was foreigners who executed the attack. One security official speaking on the condition of anonymity told an Al Jazeera reporter that the bombers "did not appear to be locals." But the New York Times reported that Bedouin leaders were arriving at the local police headquarters, possibly over concerns that many of the suspects picked up in the prior bombing in the region were, by human rights group accounts, Bedouin.

Among the dead, officials said victims included British, Russian, Dutch, Kuwaitis, Saudis, Qataris, Czech Republic, U.S., and native Egyptians. Sixty were identified as Egyptians, and at least eight were foreigners.

Malaysian Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi said, "The whole world is getting very disturbed. The frequency [of attacks] seems to be mounting." Badawi chairs the 57-nation Organization of the Islamic Conference. Resort hotels are being abandoned by tourists. At the nearest international airport, hundreds are reported trying to get flights out.

Three bombs erupted in the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh just after 1am. At the Ghazala Gardens hotel, work is underway to clear the destroyed reception lobby where emergency teams have gavin up the search for survivors. A car with 660 pounds of explosives drove into the hotel's driveway and detonated in an apparent suicide attack.

The day of the bombings is marked as an Egyptian national holiday that commemorates the bloodless coup by a group of army officers that brought them to power after deposing King Farouk in 1952. Egypt has been the victim of 15 tourist attacks since October 1992.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called AmoVictor. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name AmoVictor~enwikinews that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:13, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

After at least three failed attempts for this Wikinewsie to open his own open-source journalism site, MrMiscellanious joined the Wikinews team by posting his first edit on Wikinews on April 25, 2005 at 0001 UTC time, proposing an early concept similar to Audio Wikinews, which he co-created the next day. Since then, he has became a script author and journalist for the subproject and has released nearly one hour of news brief updates in OGG Vorbis format. Although he usually praises the works of open journalism (such as Wikinews), he has often became disgusted at the lack of NPOV articles. While he is a registered Republican, he shows absolutely no favoritism in political articles which he contributes to. He has a brief knowledge and experience of broadcasting, primarily in radio. He currently resides in Midland County, Michigan and wishes to contribute many articles and photographs about news in his homeland. He became an accredited user of Wikinews on July 18, 2005 at 1700 UTC.

Tsunami warning briefly issued for Indian Ocean after latest earthquake

July 24, 2005 In response to another major, near 's (in the , about 690 miles southwest of , Thailand), government agencies briefly issued official  warnings. However, it was later determined that the earthquake, although strong, was of a type which does not commonly spawn large tsunamis.

The 's reported that the earthquake occurred at 15:42:05 (UTC) on Sunday, July 24, 2005, and registered as a magnitude 7.2 earthquake. Its location is 7.926°N, 92.146°E

The reported at 16:11 UTC that an earthquake had occurred at 15:42 UTC near the Indo-Chinese Peninsula (8.7°N, 92.1°E). The scale of this earthquake was estimated by JMA to be 7.3 on the, and its seismic center near the Nicobar Islands in the Indian Ocean.

"There is a possibility of a destructive local tsunami in the Indian Ocean," said the JPA, when it issued its warning. But that possibility did not come to fruition.

This was made clear in a report from the U.S. National Earthquake Information Center, which said in a bulletin that "No tsunami threat exists to coastlines in the Pacific, however earthquakes of this size sometimes generate local tsunamis that can be destructive along coasts located within a few hundred kilometers of the earthquake epicenter. As the center does not have sea level gauges outside the Pacific, they will not be able to detect or measure a tsunami if one occurs. It can be assumed the danger has passed if no tsunami waves are observed near the epicenter within an hour of the earthquake."

The US Geological Survey's Waverly Person told the BBC that the event was "unlikely to spark a tsunami".

The Thai TV station MCOT was reporting at around 1:00 (local time, UTC+7) that everything was under control and there has been no confusion; in Phuket and Trang provinces, the sea level was reported to be at normal levels at that time. At 1:25 (local time), the Thai National Disaster Warning Center cleared the tsunami warning nationwide.

The top federal administrator of the Nicobar Islands, Ram Kapse, told Reuters news agency that there had been no reports of casualties or damage from any of the inhabited islands.

Lance Armstrong wins Tour de France for seventh time

July 24, 2005

United States sportsman Lance Armstrong today won the international cycling competition Tour de France. This is the seventh consecutive win for Armstrong. It is also his last, as Armstrong announced prior to the race that he will be retiring from professional cycling after the competition.

The last leg was an 89.8-mile strecth from Corbeil-Essonnes to Paris' famed Champs-Elysees. But poor weather conditions affected the finale.

The official race time clock was stopped when the riders reached the Champs Elysee due to rain making the famous cobble stones slippery. However, the rain stopped and the stones dried during the eight final laps of the famous road, and time-bonuses were awarded for the stage win.

Alexandre Vinokourov of Kazakhstan, riding for T-Mobile, won the stage after his break-away from the field 1,500m out could not be reeled in by the peloton, relegating the sprinters to lower placings. The 20s time bonus moved Vinokurov to fifth overall in the race.

As Armstrong was presented the final Yellow Jersey, he was quoted in the press as saying in a mixture of French and English, "Vive le Tour, forever." The winning Yellow Jersey is awarded to the cyclist who had the best overall performance throughout the tour's circuit.

After the awards ceremony, Armstrong discussed what comes next in his life, mentioning that defeating cancer by raising awareness and funds is his new goal.

"We know how to train and prepare for the Tour," he says. "If we win, it is a success. Cancer is not and will not be that way. It is a different kind of fight. It's not something that lasts three weeks.

"Along the way there will be victories and defeats. There are going to be survivors and people who aren't going to make it. My goal and my responsibility is to make sure that we don't forget ... how devastating cancer has been. I can help change that."

"I sit here as a person who considers myself totally cured," he says. "But one of those people who was along the side of the road over the last three weeks might have breast cancer and might die in three months.

"How can they not be cured? The illness is complicated; there are hundreds of different illnesses and cell types, little bastards inside who don't agree with what we throw at them, who don't want to die."

Armstrong has been a member of the President's Cancer Panel since 2002. He feels that his role is to get the funds to keep that research alive, saying that "we have the smartest people in the world" already working on cures.

"Funding is tough to come by these days," he says. "The biggest downside to a war in Iraq is what you could do with that money. What does a war in Iraq cost a week? A billion? Maybe a billion a day? The budget for the National Cancer Institute is four billion. That has to change. It needs to become a priority again.

"Polls say people are much more afraid of cancer than of a plane flying into their house or a bomb or any other form of terrorism. It is a priority for the American public."
