--Yet still further proof of the evil of religious fanaticism. Such buffoons! Such pettiness! Such discrimination based on sex! Such hypocrisy! -- that's why i keep saying we need to rig up the SUVs with .50 cals and invade them! they would be easy... ...a lot easier than iraq, iran, or north korea i would think.

Looks like we've found a way to get those diesel subs to Taiwan... arrange a buyout! <g> janes.com ----------------------------------------------------------- US bank takeover of HDW raises technology issues By JDW staff reporters A US bank's surprise purchase of a controlling share in Germany's Howaldtswerke-Deutsche Werft (HDW) shipyard, the world's premier exporter of conventional submarines, will have far-reaching implications for the US nuclear submarine industry and the export of diesel-electric submarines. One Equity Partners bought a 75% share of HDW from various German companies. Speculation is rampant that the deal is a cover for a US shipyard to acquire HDW's diesel-electric submarine technology. This would potentially allow the US to supply diesel-electric submarines to Taiwan. US officials also said the deal could renew debate over US Navy insistence on an all-nuclear submarine fleet.
