Stuart,

This story is actually about a year old. For reasons that I’m not clear on, editorandpublisher.com reprinted a verbatim copy of the story on Judge Hellerstein’s ruling back on September 29, 2005. The government’s appeal stalled the eventual release of the new material but some of the newly released photos and videos were included in this Australian news report from February 2006.

The Libertarian Guy,

Why do you think it is important for people talking about this man-eating monstrosity to do so calmly? The circumstances do not call for calmness. Activists are “unhinged” about it because it’s really fucking awful, and it’s getting worse every day.

(Before you waste your time repeating it, yeah, I know that all wars everywhere are like this, or worse. That’s an argument for being stridently opposed to all wars, not an argument for moderating your tone about this one.)
