Another arrest bites the dust

Regarding the Jan. 8/9 AFP article "Cyber harasser's trail of riddles leads cops to memory card on cat collar": So, once again, lazy cops pulled in four "suspects" off the street and extracted bogus "confessions" (related to sending threatening messages) before finding out that the four actually had...

Inequality in Christian nations

Kevin Rafferty's Jan. 7 article, "Christianity vs. secularism," is a disjointed and mostly aimless sermon in disguise. He laments the absence of Christ in Christmas, but unfairly points to holiday festivities in Hong Kong as an example. Why should the Nativity story be taken seriously in a historically...

'The Expatriate'

There's an irresistable temptation to describe "The Expatriate" as a discount version of the Jason Bourne series. Pretty much the whole package indicates it's the same product in a different wrapper: You get the handsome CIA agent; the exotic European location; the order issued from Langley to rub out...

Enough fossil-fuel nonsense

Regarding the Jan. 3 editorial "New fossil fuel resources": We already have access to vastly more fossil fuels than is reasonable to use. To sink money into developing new types is economic and environmental nonsense (except perhaps in the very short term).

Jet scramble all huff and puff

Regarding the Jan. 6 article "Japan scrambles F-15 fighter jets after Chinese aircraft spotted near Senkakus": The interesting question for me is, what would those F-15s have done if the Chinese airplane had completely encroached on Japanese territory, did loops and rolls, and even dived in a simulated...

This is the worst death rate in the developed world. It casts doubt...
