    Government is another way to say better…than…you.
    It’s like ice but no pick, a murder charge that won’t stick,
    it’s like a whole other world where you can smell the food,
    but you can’t touch the silverware.
    Huh, what luck. Fascism you can vote for.
    Humph, isn’t that sweet?
    And we’re all gonna die some day, because that’s the American way

    They didnt say anything new. They confirmed that the astronauts could not have survived, but thats about it. There is going to be a more extensive press conference at 3PM eastern, where they said they'll answer questions.

    Government has already confirmed that the crash didn't seem to come from any ground interference ie it got shot down.

    Kind of sad what a factor terrorism is playing in The States nowadays.

    My reaction exactly, when the BBC correspondent Mark somebody was stressing the absence of terrorism factor repeatedly



    India is sharing this loss with the US and the Israel because we have lost Kalpana Chavla. I saw on the TV she was the most experienced member of the crew?






    Funny, just the earlier day the Times carried a front-page photo of Kalpana with the news the Columbia would be landing within the next few hours, and it also carried the photographs of the three Miss India finalists on the page. Wouldn't take a second guess to know who looked more beautiful.

    I was numb watching the news on BBC.

    CIA and some of The President's staff (3 food testers) are staying at a friend's hotel. From what he's heard, since 9/11, Bush gets about 3 hours of sleep a night.
