• Confessions of a Guantanamo guard
  "Just because many of us were guards at Guantanamo does not make us automatically bad people. I know for a fact, one or two people, including myself, felt sorry for these people â“ and very ashamed of what we were taking part in. But what could we say? If we questioned anything or talked out against what we thought was wrong, we would have been ridiculed. And who knows what else we would have had to face? So we kept our mouths shut and went to work every day, counting down the days until we could return home to our families and just could forget about this time we spent in Guantanamo."

Ya' know, somehow I am not surprised.

"There Is No Such Thing As Clean Coal" is a universal truth, however I've never heard of underground gasification and I can't find anything online about it other than offical stuff from the people who sell the idea.

Let me know if you find any balanced articles, though; the Tennessee Toxic Waste Spill, which covered a an area of the smoky mountains in knee-deep toxic sludge, was from a breach of an earthen(!) dam holding back waste product from a "clean coal" power station. (see google, or here)
