British Home Secretary Theresa May puts out for the Americans
Home Secretary Theresa May has approved the extradition to the US of a student accused of copyright infringement.
The US authorities say 23-year-old Sheffield student Richard O'Dwyer's TVShack website hosted links to pirated films and television programmes.
Best bullshit:
A spokesman said Mrs May had "carefully considered all relevant matters" before signing the order.
Yes, she carefully read the "do it or else" letter she received...

Malaysia cowardly defends deporting Saudi journalist for tweet
The Malaysian government has defended its deportation of a Saudi journalist accused of insulting the Prophet Muhammad in a tweet
Home Minister Hishamuddin Hussein said the deportation to Saudi Arabia was legal and that Malaysia cannot be seen as a safe haven.
Hamza Kashgari, 23, was sent back to Saudi Arabia on Sunday.
Mr Kashgari's controversial tweet last week sparked more than 30,000 responses and several death threats.
Insulting the prophet is considered blasphemous in Islam and can be punishable by death in Saudi Arabia.

Twitter becomes a craven coward
A new Twitter policy which goes into effect today allows the social network "to reactively withhold content from users in a specific country," so that Twitter can further expand globally and "enter countries that have different ideas about the contours of freedom of expression."
Fuck you Twitter

US Senators sort of delay cowardly provision in the National Defense Authorization Act
Our current leaders are dangerous, yet cowardly people, afraid of their own our shadows.
Senators compromised Thursday on a bill that attempts to spell out the military's right to detain Americans indefinitely, killing a bid to bar the practice but passing an amendment that says current laws on the matter stand.
The provision in the National Defense Authorization Act aimed to codify a string of court cases and current anti-terrorism practices involved in the capture and treatment of terrorism suspects. It initially opened what opponents saw as the prospect of letting the military haul away any citizen about whom it had suspicions.
The new amendment specifies that the current practices may not change, although it also says explicitly that the military can pursue Americans at home.

Pinellas County Commissioner Norm Roche: Cowardly Internet Troll
Fellow politicians blasted Pinellas County Commissioner Norm Roche on Thursday for using a secret alter ego to zing them, straining city-county relations and the commission's own dynamics at a crucial time.
Roche's derogatory comments about St. Petersburg baffled Mayor Bill Foster.
"He comes from a darker place than I can even imagine,'' Foster said. "And that's kind of a window into the psyche of a county commissioner."
The St. Petersburg Times reported Wednesday that Roche acknowledged writing comments on the Times' website, tampabay.com, as "Reality.''
Among other things, Reality wrote that St. Petersburg was defined by "thug shootings" and "prostitutes beatings" and "social service recipients.'' Other comments questioned the ethics of fellow commissioners.

Obama wimps out while talking Turkey
US President Barack Obama marked Saturday the anniversary of the 1915 massacre of Armenians by Ottoman Turks, calling for a "full" acknowledgment of the killings hotly contested by Ankara.
While denouncing the "horrific events" of 96 years ago, Obama stopped short of labeling the killings a "genocide," despite vowing to use that exact term during his 2008 run for the White House.
"I have consistently stated my own view of what occurred in 1915, and my view of that history has not changed," the president said in a White House statement on Armenian Remembrance Day.
"A full, frank, and just acknowledgment of the facts is in all our interests."

Snivelling cowards attack soccer fans in Uganda
The death toll from bombings in Uganda rose to at least 64, authorities said Monday, a day after explosions ripped through two venues where crowds were watching the World Cup.
At least 71 people were hospitalized, police spokeswoman Judith Nabakooba said.
"If you want to fight, why don't you attack soldiers or military barracks instead of fighting innocent people watching football?" said President Yoweri Museveni, who on Monday visited a rugby sports center where two of the blasts occurred Sunday.
CNN, in its usual brain dead way, asks:Uganda bombings: Why the world should care
The thoughtless murder of innocent men, woman and children?
Nope, silly me...
..there could be global implications as countries and businesses vie for opportunities across Africa.
Oh of course...

Harper government takes cowardly stand on torture
Obviously, someone has something to hide...
Defense Minister Peter MacKay stated the testimony of a top diplomat’s claims of torture and rape committed against Afghani detainees are not credible and said calls for an inquiry will not be followed up.
Dismissing information from Richard Colvin, once in command of the most large scale insurgencies over the past 15 years, as second or third hand knowledge, MacKay spoke for the Harper Government in stating there would be no further fact finding into Colvin’s particular claim of detainee handling.

Greg Gutfeld confirms conservatives are cowards
Fear drives much conservative thinking, and now we can add Gutless to the list.
Seems Greg Gutless, oh excuse me Gutfeld, couldn't crawl out from under his rock, but had to send a spokesperson instead...
He mocked our military and our Mounties, and incited outrage among our highest-ranking politicians, but Greg Gutfeld couldn't muster the guts on Monday to tell us himself that he's sorry.
Sure, he apologized in a roundabout way: He issued a rueful statement through Fox News's corporate channels, saying "It was not my intent to disrespect the brave men, women and families of the Canadian military, and for that I apologize."
But the late-night talk show host and blogger, who recently ridiculed Canada's military effort in Afghanistan, opted not to respond to a Globe and Mail e-mail Monday offering him an opportunity to personally explain himself (and engage in a short game of Canadian trivia).
Instead, he forwarded the message to a Fox publicist, who responded. "He's not doing interviews," she said, noting that the offending segment of Mr. Gutfeld's chat show was broadcast March 17, one week ago....
...I realize that my words may have been misunderstood,” Mr. Gutfeld said in a statement released by Fox News
The only people that could have possible misunderstood your words are the brain dead Fox viewers who think it is actually a news network.

Cowards attack cricketers in Pakistan
These people really are the scum of the earth.
Gunmen have attacked a bus carrying the Sri Lankan cricket team on its way to play in the Pakistani city of Lahore.
At least six policemen escorting the team bus were killed, along with a driver. Seven cricketers and an assistant coach were injured.
Pakistani officials said about 12 gunmen were involved and grenades and rocket launchers have been recovered.
Officials said the incident bore similarities to deadly attacks in Mumbai in India last November.
The Mumbai attacks were blamed on Pakistan-based Islamic militants.
