Not because I was immensely dissatisfied with Radio, just because TypePad is the better service. That, and Robb's Law: I don't want to have a weblog (any website really) on a domain that I don't own.

Niet omdat ik heel erg ontevreden was van Radio, maar gewoon omdat TypePad beter is. En omdat ik er een website kan hebben op mijn eigen domeinnaam.

Mobile labs "not for bioweapons"
A number of experts are contradicting the claims by coalition leaders that the two trucks found by the Americans in Iraq were really mobile labs for bioweapons. Increasingly, it looks like the official explanation of the Iraqi government, that these were for producing hydrogen for artillery balloons, is plausible.
The Observer has discovered that not only did the Iraq military have such a system at one time, but that it was actually sold to them by the British.
These trucks were as close to evidence for a current WMD programme as the coaltion has been, and now it appears to be back to square one.

The Telegraph is reporting that famine in North Korea has reached such dire proportions that cannibalism is on the rise.
Cannibalism is increasing in North Korea following another poor harvest and a big cut in international food aid, according to refugees who have fled the stricken country.
Aid agencies are alarmed by refugees' reports that children have been killed and corpses cut up by people desperate for food. Requests by the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) to be allowed access to "farmers' markets", where human meat is said to be traded, have been turned down by Pyongyang, citing "security reasons".
Anyone caught selling human meat faces execution, but in a report compiled by the North Korean Refugees Assistance Fund (NKRAF), one refugee said: "Pieces of 'special' meat are displayed on straw mats for sale. People know where they came from, but they don't talk about it."
via Instapundit who points out:
Oddly, however, the article speaks of starvation in North Korea as essentially a natural disaster, rather than a government-made one.
Ik ben een beetje leeg, en ik zou niet weten waarom.
