Foreign investment rises in Romania by 19 percent

August 4, 2005 Romania's level of foreign direct investment rose by 19% in the first six months (January-July) of 2005 when compared to the same period of 2004, according to the Romanian Agency for Foreign Investment (ARIS). The country recorded US$750 million of foreign investment in this period, and 56 total investment projects, in comparison to 40 projects between January and July 2004. The majority of the investments occurred in the Bucharest-Ilfov region, which includes the Romanian capital.

The rise in foreign investment is mainly attributed due to a more liberal taxation policy introduced by the Romanian government on January 1, 2005, which centres around a 16% flat tax on personal income and corporate profit. Additionally, the country's expected membership of the European Union in 2007 and its relatively stable political climate also led to an increase in foreign investment in 2005.

Talk:Man charged over London bombings

Flour bombs
Strikes me that there are two separate stories in this article. The flour bomb story gets hidden as context to the (relatively minor) charges. If Osman's claim is true, the police statements regarding the 21/7 bombings become discredited and we are looking at two very different incidents in London. I think that is a much more major story. Split into two articles?
 * Done. I have copied out the flour bomb content rather than cutting it here.

Talk:250 Young Quakers to light up lake

SOURCE: Press release 250 Young Quakers will be organising an event, including floating candles on the lake at the University of York, to mark Hiroshima Day at 21.00 on 5th August 2005 during the annual Quaker BYM where over 1600 Quakers have been meeting. The event will coincide with the mid-point of the bomb's journey between the US and Hiroshima, 05.00 am Japanes time. Everyone is welcome to attend the event and help to witness and reflect on what peace means today. There will be photo opportunities available.

"Quakers have always been invovled in peace work and continue to face the challenge in today's society. During the week long annual gathering, Quakers will be hearing from Helen Steven, Gandhi International Peace Prize winner and Quaker, on 'Prayer, Stillness and Activism' and hearing about her international peace work including visiting the NATO headquarters in Brussels, demonstrating at Faslane naval base and even being imprisioned for her convictions.' Elsa Dicks, head of British Quakers.

Throughout the week leading up to the Hiroshima day witness on 5th August, young Quakers will be planning, organising and preparing the event, including contacting the local community and the media. Hiroshima day took place 60 years ago at 08.16am, Japanese time on 6th August 1945.

London 21 July suspect claims device was 'flour bomb'

August 4, 2005

Hussain Osman, the suspect for the July 21 incident at Shepherds Bush who the UK authorities wish to extradite from Italy, claims that the device in his rucksack was merely a bag of flour with a detonator in it.

Osman escaped from Britain via the Channel Tunnel and was arrested last week in Rome. He told his Italian lawyer that he was only staging a demonstration and had no intention of killing anyone.

Osman's claim contrasts starkly with Sir Ian Blair's statement shortly after the bombings. At that time Commissioner Blair said:

 * "Clearly the intention must have been to kill. You don't do this with any other intention."

Osman is reported to have said:

 * "I am against war... I've marched in peace rallies and nobody listened to me. I never thought of killing people."

Model letter
Feel free to edit, or use however you want.

We would like to invite you to be involved in a new form of journalism

Citizen journalism is a growing phenomenon of grassroots participation in the media. Wikinews, a sister project to the highly successful Wikipedia, gives you the chance to be both writer and editor of the news you think should have a wider audience.

Wikinews has a strict neutral point of view policy, rigorously enforced by its users. It strives to meet traditional reporting standards and all reports must be fully sourced. This makes it an ideal training ground: here you won't be rewriting press releases or covering the local flower show but can wade straight into breaking scandal on a world level with an audience of thousands.

One thing you won't get on Wikinews is a byline. Your work could be ruthlessly re-edited and your reward will be satisfaction in a good story rather than cash. But your work will be freely available to anyone in the world with a computer, you won't be exploited by a commercial organisation selling news like peas and you will be working towards telling the truth as you see it with a team of thousands.

So if you don't get a byline, what do you get? Well, these skills won't do your career prospects any harm:
 * news writing
 * high standards to fulfill of source recording and note taking for original reporting
 * proofreading and copy editing
 * fact checking
 * direct involvement in media production processes
 * writing and enforcing high standards of neutrality in reporting
 * teamwork with a wide range of contributors worldwide in a consensual environment
 * strategy and policy development for an international media outlet
 * basic programming syntax of a widely used online system

Starting at Wikinews is easy. Just create an account and a community member will give you some tips - or if you can't wait that long: hit edit and get going.

Love,

the Wikinews community

Talk:London 21 July suspect claims device was 'flour bomb'

Is it common to editorialize on the news item in a discussion section? Such a habit is an endless task. Time you all spend doing this could be better spent suggesting ways to extend the scope of the article... possibly locating commentary on the state of the defendants' cases. --69.204.213.30 02:50, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

Opinions
It does look like a staged event..what used to be called a "happening"..but in this brave new world there is little room for any type of "demonstration"..only our government leaders are allowed to make threats or threatening gestures.This type of moron just plays into the hands of the security merchants who want as many players on the enemy side as they can find; whether they be real(?) or perceived(Iraq). Paulrevere2005 13:25, 4 August 2005 (UTC)
 * If, in PaulRevere2005's words, this "moron" considers his act a 'demonstration', will the rest of the world agree that it was not an act of 'terrorism'? Doubtful. -Edbrown05 16:07, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

 * agreed; once the atmosphere has become so adversarial and truly dangerous, the parameters of "dissent" are shrunk. Remember,Jane Fonda actually visited,supported and met with Ho Chi Minh and sat on a N.Vietnamese cannon for photos..and came back to America to freely continue her freedoms of association and speech. I doubt that would be allowed today...can you imagine someone like Sean Penn meeting with Osama and posing for photos at a terrorist training camp ; and returning home to receive an academy award?(they shoot horses don't they) Truly the war mongers(Bush and Osama) and crusade promoters(Bush and Osama) are in the drivers' seats...so we may as well just sit back,buckle up, and yell like hell as we go around the scary ride...and if we have a few drinks or joints along the way, it can't hurt. Paulrevere2005 19:11, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

You are all a bunch of liberal fools, grow up, children. ||<-- go back to sleep prick, wake up an adult

POV?
His intention may have simply been to draw attention to the war in Iraq. - This statement needs some clarification else it looks like we're making his case for him. Has he * said * he was drawing attention to the war in Iraq, has someone else suggested that was his intention? We can't make an original conclusion like that, especially with a POV word like 'simply', which I'm going to take out, but if someone can make it stronger that would be better.

Ross on Wye Friends win gold for garden

July 22, 2005

The weather forecast on Wednesday 27th July was poor which was unfortunate for Ross-on-Wye citizens, many of whom were dressed in historical costumes to greet the judges for the Heart of England in Bloom visit.

Friends faithfully turned up - women in their Quaker grey and white bonnets, and the Meeting House and burial ground were a hive of activity throughout the day. We welcomed Nelson and his lady, the Town Crier and John Kyrle, a well-known local benefactor from the 16th century as well as representatives from the Elizabethan, Victorian and Edwardian times right up to the world war two era. After some initial hesitation, our children entered into the fun of the day and looked very sweet in their Quaker costumes which they refused to take off at the end of the day.

Four short periods of Worship were held throughout the day and these were well-attended. Many enquiries about our ways followed and local people who had passed the outside gate frequently were surprised to find our 17th century building and the garden and burial ground at the rear. We were informed of a Gold award from Ross in Bloom for our ‘Secret’ garden and community involvement.

A display of old Quaker bonnets was offset by modern tee shirts and the Quakers Today exhibition from Friends House attracted much interest. Contents of a book box sold well and several people expressed their intention to worship with us. It was a good enlivening day.

Al Qaeda: 'Blair brought destruction to the heart of London'

August 4, 2005

A warning has been sent out by Osama Bin Laden's lieutenant Ayman al-Zawahri saying that more attacks will be carried out because of Tony Blair's foreign policy decisions.

The comments were from a videotape shown on the satellite television channel al-Jazeera. The message said was: "Blair has brought you destruction to the heart of London, and he will bring more destruction, God willing."

Al-Zawahri also warned other nations to leave Muslim lands to avoid further violence. He was quoted as saying: "What you have seen, O Americans, in New York and Washington and the losses you are having in Afghanistan and Iraq, in spite of all the media blackout, are only the losses of the initial clashes, If you continue the same policy of aggression against Muslims, God willing, you will see the horror that will make you forget what you had seen in Vietnam."

Tony Blair has denied that his policies caused the July 7 bomb attacks. Downing Street has refused to comment on the tape.

Police were on high alert today in London, with 6,000 officers watching for a repeat of the attacks two and four weeks ago and they continue to investigate the 7 July bombings and are holding 15 people in connection with the 21 July attempt.

Two killed in Istanbul explosion

August 4, 2005

Two were killed and at least four were injured in Thursday's explosion in Pendik, eastern Istanbul suburb, Turkey. Some media reported that the blast occurred in a trash bin, while others say that it occurred in a moving vehicle.

A 21-year-old woman and her mother died in the blast. It is still unknown who is responsible.

This was the last of a series of explosions in Turkey, and trash bins have already been used for bombing. A similar explosion happened in Antalya on Tuesday, when two smaller explosions wounded nine people.

Other tourist resorts have been targeted as well. In July, mini-bus bombing killed five in Kusadasi, and 20 were injured when a bomb in a dustbin exploded in Cesme.

U.S. President Bush: 'We're at war'

August 4, 2005 Speaking in Texas, President Bush in a Wednesday address to the American Legislative Exchange Council in the city of Grapevine said, "The violence in recent days in Iraq is a grim reminder of the enemies we face." "After September the 11th, I made a commitment to the American people that the United States of America will not wait to be attacked again." Bush said. "We will take the fight to the enemy, and we will defend our freedom."

There has been debate within the Administration as to how to refer to the ongoing conflict. In recent appearances, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld has avoided using the word "war", preferring the phrase "global struggle against violent extremism." Bush's speech marks a return to the existing phrase "war on terror". In the speech he acknowledged that the struggle is against those who use terror to achieve their goals, implicitly recognising that the term "war on terror" may be misleading.

"Make no mistake about it, this is a war against people who profess an ideology, and they use terror as a means to achieve their objectives," he said.

Of the military strategy in Iraq, Bush said that coalition forces continue to hunt down terrorists, and the Iraqi security forces are being trained to take on more responsibility. "As Iraqis stand up, Americans and coalition forces will stand down," Bush said. "And we're making progress. More and more Iraqi units are more and more capable of defending themselves."

The return of American forces to U.S. soil will be event-driven decision, he said. A timetable for withdrawal is not practical because it would give the enemy a tactical event upon which to plan.

Politically, Iraq's National Assembly is working on a constitution that members pledged to have ready by August 15. The Iraqi people would then vote on the constitution October 15. If passed, the new Iraqi government under a constitution would be elected December 15.

The United States has lost twenty-one Marines in Iraq since August 1.

Wolfgang Tilmans donates image to Quaker Social Action

July 22, 2005

winning artist has donated an image to  (QSA) which has been used for their first ever greeting cards.

Wolfgang said,

"Being an occasional attender and in the process of learning more about Friends, I've been impressed with the Quaker tradition of putting one's beliefs into action. Groups like Quaker Social Action are living testimony to that practice. There is a direct connection between spiritual and social activity, that serves us as a constant reminder to live in the Here and Now. Not all of us are able or willing to commit time to social issues, others can or want to commit only money or support; both are essential to those helping and to those in need. That's why I decided to support QSA."

Judith Moran, QSA Director followed, "We are extremely grateful to Wolfgang, not only for donating the image but for his support in producing the card, we think it looks wonderful!"

Economy - Bush toughens up on Central America

August 4, 2005

In a speech in Texas on Wednesday, President George W. Bush discussed the trade deficit, saying:

"We had a problem in our hemisphere about trade. I don't know if you realize it or not, but most of the goods from Central America came into this country duty-free. Yet eighty percent of our goods were taxed through tariffs in Central American countries. That didn't seem to make sense to me; it certainly wasn't fair. All I say to people is you treat us the way we treat you. If your goods can come into our markets duty-free, our goods ought to be able to go into your markets duty-free."

According to the Bureau of Economic Analysis International Economic Accounts Balance of Payments,

"The deficit on goods increased to $186.3 billion from $182.2 billion, as goods imports increased more than exports. More than half the increase in imports was in consumer goods. Much of the increase in exports was in industrial supplies and materials, in consumer goods, and in capital goods."

In the US, the DR-CAFTA (Dominican Republic-Central American Free Trade Agreement, or simply CAFTA) bill passed by two votes. At present in contention is the Andean Free Trade Agreement.

"The House passed H.R. 304, to implement the Dominican Republic-Central America-United States Free Trade Agreement [CAFTA], by a recorded vote of 217 ayes to 215 noes, Roll No. 443."

The bill passed by a slight majority in both the House and Senate.

President Bush met for lunch with Colombian President Alvaro Uribe at the Bush Ranch in Texas and communicated his desire for the future prosperity of a Colombia free of drug trafficking and violence.

U.S. to transfer some Guantanamo detainees to Afghanistan

August 5, 2005

Afghan citizens currently held captive in US prisons at Guantanamo Bay and Bagram will be transferred to the custody of Afghan authorities following an agreement reached Thursday between United States diplomats and Afghan President Hamid Karzai. The agreement did not immediately establish a timetable for the repatriation. None of the detainees have been charged with any crimes.

Karim Rahimi, the Afghani presidential spokesman said today, "Afghanistan and the United States reached an understanding that will allow for the gradual transfer of Afghan detainees to the exclusive custody and control of the Afghan government."

The U.S. government spokesman Lou Fintor said, "The United States intends to assist the government of Afghanistan in building its capacity to detain these individuals, this process is part of our ongoing efforts to transfer detainees to their home countries as appropriate and when we receive assurances that the country can and will take appropriate steps to ensure that these individuals do not pose a continuing threat."

Fintor said the decision was reached after, Pierre-Richard Prosper, U.S. ambassador-at-large for war crimes, and Matthew Waxman, the Pentagon's deputy assistant secretary of defense for detainee affairs, met with President Karzai on Thursday. There are still 520 detainees at the Guantanamo Bay prison facility.

Talk:Economy - Bush toughens up on Central America

NPOV Issues
We need to clean this up in accordiance with the NPOV policy. As it stands, there is too much reference to the bill being met with "a lot of opposition" and etc. For starters, if it passed - it means there was more support than opposition. Stating items like this pushes the POV.

 * Another big issue with this article is the following statement:
 * "For Bush, the accomplishment of CAFTA's passage strengthens his stand today, at least in America. What the world follows with, remains to be seen."

Adding NPOV tag. --Mrmiscellanious 20:17, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

The issue is not whether Britain agrees with us, but the globe. We have time to work on this, however, there may be some better wordings to use.

I cleaned it up. Mrm, please review for consideration of NPOV tag removal. -- 20:30, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

 * I did a little more tinkering too. I'm no expert on US politics but I believe MrM's concerns on the votes were met, and I took out a little bit of what could've been opinion. I can tell it's ok now. Therefore I took the npov tag off. Obviously if MrM isn't happy he can put it back and discuss it further. Dan100 (Talk) 21:15, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

Looks a lot better, guys. Thanks for cleaning that up. --Mrmiscellanious 21:34, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

Prominent Iranian judge assassinated

August 3, 2005

Investigations continued Thursday after a prominent Iranian judge, Hassan Moghaddas, was assassinated in the middle of his evening commute Tuesday evening. Iranian police have so far attributed the killing to "...some mad gesture or a settling of accounts."

Judge Moghaddas presided over several controversial cases in his career, including the sentencing of Iranian reporter Akbar Ganji and was also unsuccessfully subpoenaed to testify in an investigation into the death of Canadian-Iranian reporter Zahra Kazemi.

Talk:U.S. President Bush: 'We're at war'

Why didn't he go fight when we were "at war" when HE had the chance ?????
There's a sucker born every minute; and anyone who still believes anything this bastard says is right at the top of the list. If this is a really important war for the freedom and security of America; why aren't any of his seven grown up nephews[] [][](and 2 daughters)in uniform???? This is just a lying bag of profiteering chicken crap who cares about America and our forces now as little as he did when he was goofing off on his tour duties in 1969 and when he checked off "No" to going to fight in a "war". A few months ago, when he gave the medal of honor to that 11 year old kid who's dad was blown apart in Iraq, Bush's hand was shaking like a leaf...that says it all. Paulrevere2005 20:38, 4 August 2005 (UTC)
 * He's too far out front on this... my opinion of Bush's leadership... but U.S. public opinion does support the Iraqi war as part of the broad effort against terrorism. What? pack up and head home? pass the napalm -Edbrown05 21:13, 4 August 2005 (UTC)
 * the US can't get outta there, so we do what we gotta do -Edbrown05 21:16, 4 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Saddam <---> creep
 * Bring them home. Not to get votes in 2008, but right now. Ghost Freeman Talk | Wikipedia 06:05, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
 * too late for votes, the republicans are done, fried, dog food. -Edbrown05 06:47, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

Major Combat
Why isn't there anything about how almost twice as many soldiers have died since the end of "major combat" than before it? Superm401 01:52, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
 * If you think that such information should be included, then go ahead and add it. - Borofkin 02:20, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

Why we're "at war"
To me it's so frustrating that most of us never look back to see why/who/how this and other wars began. Here is some non-disputed info showing that the primary engineers of WW2, Vietnam, and both Iraq wars all belong(ed) to one little cult (please see the membership list near the bottom of the "external links" in the wikipedia article[]).. and a thorough examination of the cult shows that its members believe that the public are "barbarians" of varying worth and it is their(cult members) right and duty to exploit,control and kill us to further their own power and riches.

 * A; WW2... This Guardian article[] only mentions 4 names as being part of the Hitler support team(Bush,Harriman,Walker(yep;that's where the "W" comes from) and Woolley); All 4 are on the membership list.

 * B; Vietnam... This Association of Former Intelligence Officers site[] references Averell Harriman and William and McGeorge Bundy as the engineers of the Vietnam war. All 3 are on the list.

 * C; WW3 (one we're beginning now); These sites show how the Bush father and son (both on the list) relay team planted the seeds, added the fertilizer and are now reaping the harvest of this one[][][]

The advantage these war engineers have is that us "barbarians"(as they refer to us all) simply can not imagine the level of evil within their hearts; so we simply ignore (or accept) unacceptable facts (there were no WMD's in Iraq type of facts). Paulrevere2005 11:55, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

NATO to expand Afghanistan presence

August 4, 2005

NATO has confirmed today that it intends to expand its presence in Afghanistan by sending forces into the south and east of the country in 2006. The move will see NATO take the lead role in Afghan security.

Presently, much of NATO's 8,000-strong International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) is based in the capital Kabul, with units also based in the north and west of the country.

The NATO decision has been welcomed by the United States who hope that they will be able to withdraw some of its 19,000 troops from Afghanistan. The US forces are based in the south — the centre of much of the violence against Coalition forces in the country — and are not under NATO command.

Ironically, in the aftermath of the invasion of Afghanistan, the US opposed the move amid requests by Afghans for NATO to spread across the country. Today, Turkey handed over control of ISAF to an Italian/UK-led unit, commanded by Italian Liuetenant-General Mauro Del Vecchio. The deputy-commander is British Major-General Roger Lane of the Royal Marines, who previously served in the country in 2002.

Command of ISAF rotates every six-months. Previous ISAF commanders have been Canadian, British, French and German.

A recent surge in violence against NATO and US forces — blamed on Al Qaida and the remnants of the deposed Taliban regime — has seen nearly 1000 people killed since March.

NATO intends to send an additional 2,000 troops for the Afghanistan parliamentary elections scheduled to take place next month. Hamid Karzai became the first democratically elected president of Afghanistan after presidential elections were held on 9 October 2004.

It is believed that the British Army will deploy up to 5,000 troops next year, likely to be made up of the élite 16 Air Assault Brigade.

User:TUFKAAP/Stance on Issues

Here is my stance on today's issues.

I am a very staunch liberal.

Abortion
A woman should have the choice to abort her baby. I believe that the baby should be aborted after sex or before the trimester of something, I forget. I mean if it's fully grown and it's getting nutrients fed... that's murder. Though mostly I'm pro-choice.

Gay marriage
Gays should be able to marry if they want to. Though... I wish my state (Masssahcusetts) had waited until after the election to decide this. I believe this was one of the factors that might have caused John Kerry to lose the election and keeping us another four years with this idiot.

Gun control
If people want to have guns they should... I'll admit I like guns. Though, people who have comittied crimes in the past with a gun and are violent should not be able to buy a gun (though I dobut it may work). I also agree that there should be smart guns so things such as school shootings wouldn't occur when Lil' Bobby get his hands on his Dad's gun and decides to tear up the elementary/middle/high school. Of course, NRA fuckheads don't want this.

Religion
I am agnostic. I was formerly, a Lapsed Catholic. My dad claimed we were agnostic about a year ago and I have agreed with this. Though officaly, he says were non-practicing, you could consider him a Deist.

Though, then again, I might consider myself to be Lasped Catholic/Agnostic.

War on Iraq
From day one, I knew we shouldn't have gone in there. There was nothing wrong with Iraq. The people were happy, even if there were being tourtred by Saddam's thugs, the majority was happy, and with the no-fly zones, the Kurds and the majority of Shiites were safe from attack by Saddam. I have a cousin who is currently serving in Iraq or is going to, my dad and uncle don't get along so I haven't seen that much. If he is killed, I will be never the same and the President will pay. I will throttle that fucking bastard till he turns fucking blue and passes out. Well, maybe not that extreme but I will give him a bitchslap If I ever end up in a function with him shaking hands.

Immigration
I support Immigration into the United States of America as they are a valuable contribution to the American workforce.

Northern Ireland
Why this special category you ask? I am a third-generation Irish-American who grew in a republican/nationalist house hold. My father fueled my passion for my hertiage which I am very proud of. Today, you could consider me a moderate Republican Nationalist. I support only the Provisional Irish Republican Army and not Real IRA or Continunity IRA. I believe that the time for bombings have passed in Northern Ireland. Some bombings I believe were necessary, while others I believe were a waste of human life. However, the British have committed many of their own attrocities in Northern Ireland and Ireland, which have never brought to the world's attention. I also show disdain for movies where the IRA is used as a plot device, such as Ronin or Patriot Games (especially, this movie as the IRA would never attack an American, because it would esentially kill off any Irish-American support, especially since Jack Ryan is an Irish Catholic in Clancy's books.) So yes, I apporve of the use of violence sometimes, then negotiation when the other party is liable for talks. However, I am glad that the IRA has put it's arms beyond it's use and I believe it is time that the Loyalist paramilitaries do the same.

Talk:U.S. to transfer some Guantanamo detainees to Afghanistan

The last two paragraphs of this article contend that this is a change in the US position as concerns the war crimes court -- I don't really understand how that relates to the meat of this story. The paragraphs don't seem to address the relationship. I have removed them... If you reinsert them, please link them more clearly to the rest of the article. --Chiacomo (talk) 03:38, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
 * the last 2 paragraphs were meant to show the background of Pierre-Richard Prosper, U.S. ambassador-at-large for war crimes, and also to remind readers of the U.S. stated position on its immunity from war crimes prosecutions and that this new event(story) is all part of the way the U.S. deals with its war crimes in 2005 since it is not subject to any international oversight. Since you didn't understand the relevance/connection, then perhaps that level of background is too deep for this platform because to explain it in baby steps would encyclopediatize the article. Paulrevere2005 12:47, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

POV to use the word "detainee" without clarification
Doesn't the whole thrust of the use of words like "detainee" or "enemy combatant" create a POV that the captive did something wrong? Don't we need to mention the person is innocent because they have never been charged or convicted of a crime? Paulrevere2005 12:36, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
 * I like the way the headline of this story was changed. I also liked the background information regarding Pierre-Richard Prosper. The trouble with those last 2 paragraphs was that they shifted gears to rapidly, losing the reader. That's not the fault of the reader, that's the fault of the author. PaulRevere2005, plz draw more definitive relationships... not bothering to do so is lazy... yeah, like ev'one will pick up yer slack. Got enough trouble with each's own reporting that wants to get over. -14:41, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
 * so don't sit back like we don't get... yeah we "get it", give it -Edbrown05 14:45, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Neither of the sources cited for this article address whether the detainees/prisoners/captives/whatever have been charged with a crime (though I'm sure if the US could charge them, the would). I don't particularly care for the headline... How about U.S. to return some captives (detainees or whatever) to Afghanistan? Nor does either source indicate how long the individuals have been held (three years or otherwise). I think prisoner or captive connotes wrong-doing more than detainee... I've been detained by my family while attempting to leave the house. I dunno. --Chiacomo (talk) 15:14, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
 * I agree with Chiacomo, detainee is much a more neutral term in terms of an article. All it means was that they were detained, or kept, by US soldiers - and they were.  No inaccuracy in using it.  --Mrmiscellanious 15:16, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Who are you trying to kid? If Bin Laden had captured a dozen navy seals back in 2002 and kept them in an Afghan hell-hole for 3 years to interegate them and throw their bibles in the crapper and put bags over their heads and stand them in torturous poses for hours on end and dunk their heads into water until they almost drowned....; who among us would be referring to those captives as "detainees"? We'd be calling them "kidnapped"!...just like when the Iraqi insurgents take captive one of our contractors or soldiers now.... the only NPOV word is "KIDNAPPED!" Paulrevere2005 00:21, 6 August 2005 (UTC)
 * An Islamic defeat of a western culture band wagon means what? -Edbrown05 00:57, 6 August 2005 (UTC) And it's been argued, rightfully in my opinion, the insurgents in Afghanistan and Iraq are less interested in religion than political power. -Edbrown05 01:07, 6 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Right, release the 'flour power' thugs in Gitmo. -Edbrown05 01:10, 6 August 2005 (UTC)

"Hostages" is the word
It seems that when our enemy takes our people and holds on to them, we call that kidnapping and call the victim a hostage..here are some wikinews references..[] ; so, in order to maintain NPOV, I think at least the headline should be changed. Paulrevere2005 04:15, 6 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Hostages is far more POV than detainees. Double  Blue  (Talk) 04:54, 6 August 2005 (UTC)
 * I agree with DoubleBlue, and still fail to see the issue with using the word "detainee". --Mrmiscellanious 04:57, 6 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Detainee neutral term used to indicate people held by a government, such as those it does not classify and treat as either prisoners of war or suspects in criminal cases. sounds accurate to me, held by gov't. Double  Blue  (Talk) 05:00, 6 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Ok; I'll defer to the majority;especially since DoubleBlue did present a wikipedia reference saying "detainee" is a neutral term. Paulrevere2005 13:35, 6 August 2005 (UTC)

this story is screwed
A story that was something is now nothing. Inconsiderate. Yeah I'm a fool, at least I try to be a considerate fool. -Edbrown05 19:09, 6 August 2005 (UTC) external links:

UN reports 'grim picture' of human rights in Burundi

August 5, 2005

Thirty-four summary executions were carried out in Burundi during July, says ONUB, the UN's mission to the war-torn country. The figures were announced at a press conference yesterday in the Burundian capital Bujumbura.

ONUB rights chief Ismael Diallo accused government forces and members of the hardlined Hutu rebel group Palipehutu-FNL of being behind most of the violence.

Diallo outlined a "grim picture", according to a UN press release, with human rights violations taking place every day, and no arrests ever being made. The violence is continuing despite the success of recent elections in the country.

Analysts have argued that Burundi is in the grip of a "culture of impunity", which perpetuates the cycle of violence.

"For reasons of diplomacy, people are sitting at the exact same table as war criminals, and in some cases granting them immunity. If the atrocities are to end there must be at least some indications that justice will be done", Human Rights Watch spokesman Stephan Van Praet told Reuters, following last year's Gatumba massacre.

August 13th will mark the first anniversary of the attack, in which 152 Congolese Tutsi refugees were shot, hacked and burned to death. Despite widespread international condemnation, no arrests have yet been made and a UN investigation has stalled.

An estimated 300,000 people, mostly civilians, have died in Burundi since civil war broke out in 1993.

Talk:New 'Mighty Mouse' from Apple debuts

Pointless statement?
What is this trying to say :

" The list of products being developed by Apple has grown recently with the iPod, their most popular, also being compatible with Windows. "?

Note that, as a product, the iPod is many years old.

It's also only one product so I don't think a phrase such as 'has grown recently' can be justified by an increase in one, recently or not.

I get the feeling that the author is trying to point out that some of the products that Apple has released in recent years are compatible with Microsoft Windows, and wants to somehow make the read think that there is a trend.
