Tue Jun 18, 2013
- @Climax, I am an old intelligence analyst and can tell you from firsthand experience that you are wrong on any number of counts: 1) It's not just one document --- it's over 350 documents, of which the Guardian chose to publish the least damaging.

Thrifty says offer of free rental car was mistake
Tue Jun 18, 2013
- How do we know that Hurts Car Rental dod not make the offer with all intention of never honoring it just for the free publicity and additional business? It looks to me as though they reaped a huge amount of attention and countless people tried to use the fictitious freebie? This is the s …

- Yep, @Gary is correct. Additionally lots of other artifacts that likely belonged to her have been found. But most telling is that most of a woman's skeleton was found on the island just before WWII. The skeleton was of a European woman of the right build and height.
Striking workers, riot police face off in Turkish capital
Mon Jun 17, 2013
