When someone (in this case, a man) is virulently homophobic and then is caught with his pants down (so to speak), with a man in his and his wife's bed, the hypocrisy is enormous, to say the least. What makes this story so important is not merely the hypocrisy that is evidenced, but the source of a great deal of the animus that lies behind homophobia itself.Alabama's Republican Attorney General, T

In Thailand, approximately 3,800 of the country's estimated 5,000 endangered Asian elephants are in private hands. Most are used as tourist attractions in elephant camps where they are forced to perform circus tricks and give rides. PETA U.S. has uncovered the horrific torture that is routine in Thailand's secret "training" camps. Still-nursing baby elephants are literally dragged from their mothers, kicking and screaming. They are immobilized, beaten mercilessly, and gouged with nails for days at a time. These ritualized "training" sessions leave the elephants badly injured, traumatized, or even dead.In a village, deep in the jungles of Thailand, a baby elephant is offered a piece of fruit. Born into captivity, she has lived in the village with elephant trainers, called mahouts, since she

The owner of a Christian bookstore in the Gaza Strip who was found dead this weekend was publicly beaten by Islamic gunmen accusing him of spreading Christianity, witnesses and Palestinian Arab security officials said. The body of Rami Ayyad, director of Gaza's only Christian bookstore, was found Sunday riddled with gunshot and stab wounds. He had been abducted the night before as he closed his shop, a local Christian group said.Gaza-based Islamic groups had accused Ayyad, a Baptist, of engaging in missionary activity. His bookstore was firebombed in April, and since then Ayyad had told relatives he was receiving death threats from Islamists.Witnesses and security officials associated with Hamas's so-called Executive Force told The New York Sun that Ayyad was publicly beaten a few blocks from his store before being shot to death. Hamas security sources said Ayyad's body showed signs of torture.

Another stepmother from hell, this time in London: 24-year-old Sumairia Parveen tortured her lover's 17-month old son to death because she feared the baby would "threaten their relationship." And the father, 30-year-old Abid Ikram, stood by and did nothing (can't jeopardize that chance at steady pussy): Sumairia Parveen subjected Tahla Ikram to abuse before he died in September 2006, Southwark Crown Court heard. He was burnt with a cigarette and had his leg repeatedly sliced open until his tendons and veins were exposed. Parveen, 24, and lover Abid Ikram, 30, both from Ealing, west London, were cleared of murder but convicted of causing or allowing the child's death. The court heard how the boy's father stood by and did nothing while the abuse happened. ... Ikram had been formally cautioned for child neglect in March 2006 after police found Tahla alone at home. The boy was placed in foster care, but within months he was handed back to Ikram. Parveen began the affair with Ikram aft

The stories are beginning to come out, not that it matters anymore since the Libyans have already gotten everything they wanted, and more, out of the deal: Palestinian-born Dr Ashraf Alhajouj, held for eight years along with five Bulgarian nurses, said he was given electric shocks to his genitals. The doctor, a Bulgarian citizen, told Dutch TV how police dogs were set on him, but he was later forced to pretend that he had been treated well. ... In an interview conducted in Arabic on Dutch TV's Eenvandaag programme, Dr Alhajouj said the Libyan authorities had drugged him and attached electrodes to his feet and genitals. "They asked me how many days it had been since I had eaten, I said four days - I thought they were being compassionate," he was quoted as saying by the Associated Press. The Libyans then said "roasted chicken", before tying his arms and legs to a metal bar and spinning him around like a chicken on a rotisserie, the doctor said. He said some of the cells they were held

from The Smoking Gun  Torture, Al-Qaeda Style Drawings, tools seized from Iraq safe house in U.S. military raid MAY 24–In a recent raid on an al-Qaeda safe house in Iraq, U.S. military officials recovered an assortment of crude drawings depicting torture methods like “blowtorch to the skin” and “eye removal.” Along with the images, which you’ll find on the following pages, soldiers seized various torture implements, like meat cleavers, whips, and wire cutters. Photos of those items can be seen here. The images, which were just declassified by the Department of Defense, also include a picture of a ramshackle Baghdad safe house described as an “al-Qaeda torture chamber.” It was there, during an April 24 raid, that soldiers found a man suspended from the ceiling by a chain. According to the military, he had been abducted from his job and was being beaten daily by his captors. In a raid earlier this week, Coalition Forces freed five Iraqis w

Two brothers who admitted torturing and killing a small puppy by baking it to death inside a gas oven will serve 10 years in prison.Some people believe that is 10 years too much, that they should have been given some slap on the wrist. Short of a public tarring and feathering, I cannot imagine a sentence more appropriatee.Justin and Joshua Moulder, who essentially threw themselves on the mercy of the court with guilty pleas to nine felony counts, found little sympathy from Fulton County Superior Court Judge Thelma Wyatt Cummings Moore at a three-hour sentencing hearing last month.She described the acts the boys pleaded guilty to — taking the puppy and smearing paint on it, trying to set it on fire, hog tying its feet with duct tape and binding its snout before stuffing it into a searing hot gas oven — as "malicious, unbridled cruelty.""The way we treat animals, the way we treat the least of these is a reflection of society," Moore said."We will not tolerate this conduct as human b

Remember my previous entry with the erotic sonnet? One should never entertain such thoughts, especially when pain entails at the end. Forget what I said; so long as one lives, the  spectrums of pain and pleasure is of certainty. Somehow, someday, I want to do something drastic. I have yet to know what but definitely I am aware of my intentions; to rid of sufferring, through knowledge. For now, lust and maybe my craving for love entraps me. I apologise for my incoherent ramblings. It happens whenever I am overwhelmed with emotions and thoughts. Therefore, my need for the first on my life-list: Be at peace within and hence, think pragmatically and systematically at all times. - Logish

It's still a week or so early for pantomime farce but Crewe Alexandra started the silly season with aplomb today. League One leaders Nottingham Forest rolled into town and took us apart, simple as that. For me, there were no positives whatsoever. The afternoon started badly as I juggled two pies, a hot dog and cup of coffee down the steep steps of the main stand. One of the pies didn't make it. Guess what, being a fairly decent dad I made sure that my two lads were fed with footy fodder and yours truly made his way to the cheap seats with a rumbling belly. And then things got worse. The referee blew his whistle to start the embarrassment that was 90 minutes of second-rate football from a mixed bag of inexperienced, elderly, inept and want-away Alex players. Sadly, our current side is such a shambolic combo that I can quite easily see us reaching the New Year with no further points on the board. Yes, it's that bad. One of the "I'm not signing a new deal" brigade, Jon Otsemobor (pict

Today Dutch newspaper de Volkskrant reports that the Military Intelligence and Security Service of the Netherlands ("Militaire Inlichtingen en Veiligheidsdienst', MIVD) tortured dozens of Iraqi prisoners in 2003. The Dutch army had occupied southern Iraq province of al-Muthanna as part of the Stabilisation Force Iraq (SFI) from July 2003 shortly after Golf War II till April 2005. The prisoners were put on goggles, as a result of which they couldn't see anything. Intermittently their glasses were put of after which they were exposed to glaring light. To keep them awake they were wetted and their hearing was exposed to extremely high sounds. According to de Volkskrant even now retired Chief of Staff Luuk Kroon was informed about what was going on at the time, but Kroon choose to ignore the advise of Kees Neisingh, major-general of the military police, to propound it to the Counsel for the Prosecution ("Openbaar Ministerie' or "OM'). Whether Defence Minister Henk Kamp was in
