War still a possibility: Fernandes
Extract:
NEW DELHI, March 27: Indian Defence Minister George Fernandes on Wednesday refused to rule out the possibility of war with Pakistan and dismissed the prospect of pulling back troops from combat positions on the border.
Fernandes also said he was worried that Taliban and Al Qaeda fighters hiding in "safe havens in Pakistan" might try to cross into occupied Kashmir. "There is enough evidence that Al Qaeda andTaliban fighters have found shelter in Pakistan. One need have no doubt that there could be incursions into Indian territory by these elements," said Fernandes.
"One has to take this factor into consideration. The threat to our security is very real. This is an issue on which there can be no compromise," he added.-AFP

JPR's note:
As long as Americans are stationed in the cursed land of punkistan, there will be no war. But in the event that some unforeseen set of circumstances present themselves, India with the implicit collusion of other powerful countries will destablize punkistan by all means to render it harmless in South Asia. China is the wild card here: How they react is anybody's guess. The Al Qaeda and the Taliban are lying low in punkistan; they sometime or other have to come out of their camouflage and perform their evil deeds that come so natural to them. If the programmed lethal robots don't destabilize punkistan, their next target will be Kashmir, India, and the world including the West. How long could they control their lethal habits? Not for long. The paki Govt. has no control over them, who along with the wild Northwest residents living in moonscape will be itching to fight someone someday somewhere.

But measures like installing cameras at national monuments are unfortunately a step towards the abridgment of many of the freedoms the Americans cherish.

Puleeeze!

Yeah, the abridgement of freedom of this guy:

Surveillance camera helps solve burglary

Ogden Dunes police solve one of the few crimes that has occurred in the town.

OGDEN DUNES -- The town of Ogden Dunes installed security cameras six years ago to record all vehicles entering and leaving the town. But because crime is so rare in the town, the cameras never helped police solve any crimes.

Until now.

Town Marshal Robert Trowbridge said the video cameras helped police solve a burglary in which more than $12,000 worth of property was taken from the Craig family's home on Ogden Road. After the burglary, which occurred during the daylight hours March 4, police spent days going through the video.

Ogden Dunes Detective/Patrol Officer Harold McCorkel focused on a vehicle from Sauk Village, Ill., that spent an hour in the town. McCorkel checked with Sauk Village police and learned the driver of the vehicle had a lengthy criminal record that included burglary charges.

McCorkel went to the suspect's home and a family member found cloth bags containing 84 pieces of jewelry. One of the pieces of jewelry had the burglary victim's name engraved on it, police said.

A felony burglary charge was filed against the suspect, Gilbert Tiller, 43, of Sauk Village. Police said Tiller is being held at Cook County Jail in Chicago on an unrelated drug charge, but eventually will be returned to Porter County to face the burglary charge.

Trowbridge said the Craig family lost electronics, jewelry, coins and other items in the burglary. He said some of the property has been recovered, but police want to talk to Tiller to see if they can locate the rest of the property.

Trowbridge said he's pleased the town's video cameras finally paid off.

"There's very rarely a crime here (on which to use the cameras)," Trowbridge said.

"We like it that way."

For his work on the case, McCorkel is being presented with an Honorable Service Award at the Ogden Dunes Town Council meeting at 7 p.m. Monday. Trowbridge said McCorkel is a tenacious investigator whose work was instrumental in solving the burglary.
