TODAY’S TOP SCOOPS------------
Conspiracy! Where Were The Fighters On 911?
- On 11 September there were two entire squadrons of combat-ready fighter jets at Andrews Air Force base just 10 miles
from the Pentagon. Their job was to protect the skies over Washington D.C. They failed to do their job. Despite over one
hour's advance warning of a terrorist attack in progress. The team at tenc.net do the research, and indict the US
Administration for murder. See... Guilty For 9-11 (Part 1) – Introduction [1] and Guilty For 9-11 (Part 2) - Cheney's Cover Story [2]
Cresswell: The Rehabilitation Of Afghanistan
- Our current statesmen may not know how to go about successfully rebuilding a conquered country, but we only need to
travel back half a century to find some statesman who did know how. See... PC's Opinion: The Roots of Peace [1]
ZZZZZzzzzt Feedback
- As an American Citizen, who was essentially forced to read your "propaganda" for my work, I am compelled to tell you
that I am offended. Not that that will mean anything to you, as far away as you are. See... Feedback: Scoop Offends Ground Zero Worker [1]
Taupo Eruption Biggest In Last 75,000 Years
- New research has found that the eruption that formed modern-day Lake Taupo 27,000 years ago is the world's biggest
eruption in the last 75,000 years. See... Taupo-Forming Eruption One Of World's Biggest [1]
MoH Advises Estelle-35 ED Pill Users To See Their GP

Aid Offer Seen As Possible US/Cuban Relations Watershed

watershed event and could be step one in a breakthrough in relations. See... Widening Opportunity For Washington And Havana [1]
Scoop World: GE Crop Destroyers Acquitted In The UK
- At Worcester Crown Court a Jury of 8 men and 4 women acquitted, Barbara Charvet, age 59, a retired English teacher
and Jim Ridout age 26, a self employed landscape gardener on two counts of criminal damage each when they cut down
Genetically Modified crops. See... UK Jury Acquit For Cutting Down GM Crops - Again [1]
Guest Opinion: WTO = “We Take Over”
- The day the World Trade Organisation (WTO) came into existence, on January 1, 1995, the Indian Express had carried a
pocket cartoon on its front page. It showed two people walking amidst high rise buildings with huge billboards for
popular multinational brands like Pepsi Cola, Coke, Philips, and McDonalds. The cartoon depicted one of the person
walking down the street, asking: "What does WTO stand for?" The other man replied: "We Take Over". See... Opinion: WTO Doha Ministerial: "We Take Over" [1]

AMERICAN STRIKES - FULL COVERAGE------------
Don’t Bomb, Apologise – NZ Bishops
- Those of us who live in relative security and affluence need to be honest enough to apologise most sincerely for our
years of blindness to the plight of suffering peoples, the poor, and those who carry the heavy and tragic burden of
history, wars, dominations and betrayals. It is an illusion to believe that terrorism can be defeated with revenge or
violent reprisal. The perpetrators of terrorism should remain in moral isolation. Sadly they do not when their terrorism
is matched with hostilities that cause large numbers of innocent civilian casualties. See... NZ Catholic And Anglican Bishops On Afghanistan [1]
Howard’s End: Dead Or Alive bin Laden Wins
- The West is fighting a war on the other side of the globe. To determine how soon we will extricate ourselves from

- Questioned about reports of a rift between the UK and US on the issue of deployment, the PMOS said that had
journalists listened to the Prime Minister's phonecall last night with President Bush, they would have seen just how
baseless the stories about divisions were. See... 10 Downing St Lobby Briefing: 11am Tuesday 20 Nov [1]

Secret DNA Storage Raises Big Brother Fears
