| Repeat? A couple of years ago they did the same thing: huge coverage of the 19 guys who allegedly were going to fly planes into Pickering--all released and turned out to be total BS.

| Good piece and Fisk's book is 'must read'. Haven't read Glavin's, but I do recommend "The Pig Who Sang to the Moon : The Emotional World of Farm Animals " by Masson. It's a great book as he tries to interpret the world from the point of view of animals. It's humbling and that's is really w... |
