Crocodile...

Christian activists were submitting a petition to Queen Elizabeth II on Tuesday, to protest against a new gay rights law, they claim will force them to promote, and condone gay sex.

Israel arrested the former imam of Ohio's largest mosque, after he was deported from the United States last week, the Shin Bet internal security service said on Tuesday, ending a four-day mystery about his whereabouts.

And finally for today: A swimmer was rescued by his wife, after a huge saltwater crocodile clamped its jaws around his head, and shoulders, as he snorkelled near a reef. Sgt. Jeff Tanswell, a policeman, was swimming in waters off Thursday Island, in the Torres Strait, between northern Australia and Papua New Guinea, when he was attacked by this giant crocodile measuring at least 10-feet (but it could have been bigger, I'm not sure).

Those were the headlines for today. As you see, nothing much happened today. Apart then from the fact that the U.S. is using a lot of violence in Somalia trying to kill SUSPECTED bombers. They might have been indicted in a U.S. court, but they never were on trial, and that seems a technicality which we better forget. In this case I wonder who is acting more criminally: the U.S. for killing all those people in order to kill 2 in Somalia, or the president of Somalia who condones the U.S. military actions in his country. If U.S. intelligence knew where the suspected embassy bombers were, couldn't they have engaged some marines to kidnap them, and bring them to face justice in the United States. Yes, I know kidnapping is also against the law, but at least innocent bystanders are not killed.

Sgt. Jeff Tanswell had all the luck of the world. He went snorkelling and was attacked by a giant crocodile. His wife, who is a police officer also, managed to get her boat between her husband and the crocodile, and saved his life. That has to be humiliating for Jeff. He will hear for the rest of his life on every party he attends that his wife has rescued him. But, I could have told you that from the beginning: we, the woman, are far better then the man. Get used to it boys.

And, as usual, I really don't care whatever you do, for whatever reason, as long as you don't forget to love a soldier. Love, Jenifer Bloom. bloomjenifer@yahoo.co.uk
