The best way to keep a secret:- Tell everyone not to tell anyone.
That is incorrect. Being American has nothing to do with it. That is a state law and will differ from state to state. In the State of Texas you are required to show the officer your ID if the officer has a right to detain you, or any vehicle you're in. If you refuse, they can (and will) take you in for a fingerprint check and legally hold you until your identity has been determined. But, before an officer can require you to show ID he/she first must be able to lawfully detain you. All the officer needs is to be able to articulate reasonable suspicion.
In the case of the AZ man, I'd like to hear the other side of that story before fingering any blame. The reporter said he was taken in because he could not (or would not) answer some of the officers questions. The news story also stated he was born in the U.S., but he could barely speak English.

Yes, Murdoch owns Fox News. He started it with the intent of reaching a more conservative audience. He did that because the other stations are incredibly liberal.
That being said, it's all biased. Here. There. Everywhere. Even the precious BBC.
The Glenn Beck show is also not "news" and should not be lumped in with the proper news forum on the Fox News channel. It's commentary based media; just like any talk radio show. Just because he says something, it should not be taken as gospel and he says that on every single episode, not to take his word for it - 'Don't take it from me. Go out there and find this information yourself. Do the research yourself.'
Fox News is a good source for news however and the large ratings advantage it reaps over all of the other cable news stations should help attest to that.

There comes a time
When we need to make a show
For the world, the Web and CNN
There's no people dying,
so the best that we can do
Is create the greatest bluff of all
We must go on pretending day by day
That in Gaza, there's crisis, hunger and plague
Coz the billion bucks in aid won't buy their basic needs
Like some cheese and missiles for the kids
We'll make the world
Abandon reason
We'll make them all believe that the Hamas
Is Momma Theresa
We are peaceful travelers
With guns and our own knives
The truth will never find its way to your TV
Ooooh, we'll stab them at heart
They are soldiers, no one cares
We are small, and we took some pictures with doves
As Allah showed us, for facts there's no demand
So we will always gain the upper hand

OK, getting back on topic... As torentt said a couple pages back, I can't think of any other armed force in the world that would raid a ship using paint-balls as their main ammo. More to the point, the ship was told to reach Ashdod, then the cargo would be inspected and then shipped to Gaza if found clear.
On top of that, it's clearly obvious the people aboard that ship had themselves well prepared for a battle with the Navy Seals (grenades, knives, rods etc.) - Hardly a "quiet attempt" at breaching the blockade.
Re. blockade - Not many people may know this, but the strips entire gas, petrol and water supplies come from Israel. It's all "ours", yet we hand it over to people who's leaders are totally for firing rockets and co. over into Israel.. Sometimes I ask myself why we bother. Let them live for themselves and cut off the supplies which we give them off of our resources.
Anyway, with all due respect, these people were completely up to cause mischief, and try show the world how nasty the Israeli soldiers are, when in fact the actually proved the opposite - We are, in fact, probably the most humane army on the planet. The footage speaks for itself.

Like the video on the above website points out, they are trying to make the IDF look like Jack the Ripper, and they are trying to make Hamas look like Mother Theresa. Liberals just love to turn the truth upside down on its head.

Link doesn't work, but yes, the point was to show how barbaric we, the IDF soldiers are, when in reality we are trained and taught to only use brutal force when in definite need. Fatal force may only be used in a life-threatening case, i.e the case above.
