Stolen military items for sale online

Summary: stolen U.S. military items are being sold on eBay and Craigslist. Government investigators posing as buyers were able to purchase a dozen prohibited military items on the popular online selling sites. The report notes that the items purchased could easily have been shipped overseas and "used directly against our troops and allies." The items are: Two F-14 fighter jet components, Night vision goggles, and Army combat uniforms.

Opinion: This shows that military security has become a joke. It also tells that anything can be sold on the web. F14 components being sold by individuals sound pretty dangerous. If the component came from the real body, then how it is going to function properly? I guess people are crazy these days and the web has become a sacred place. They both sound pretty terrible news to me.

Polygamist ranch raid climaxed with nonviolent protest at temple

Summary: Nearly 60 men surrounding the temple of a polygamist sect in Texas dropped to their knees, prayed and wept openly -- but never violently resisted -- as law enforcement officers raided the building they hold sacred. A 16-year-old girl had called social workers and timidly recounted being beaten, choked and sexually assaulted by the 49-year-old man who had fathered her child after their "spiritual marriage" last year. Texas Rangers and other law enforcement officials believed the church may have used that custom to hide children inside the building.

Opinion: Well, we watched a video about polygamists and they were disgusting. I absolutely hated their idea. I think polygamy is not a good idea of marriage. Love cannot be shared. If a polygamist says that he loves both his wives, or possibly more than 10, that means that there is one that he loves more and he is just not letting go the other wife, or wives, for his sexual greed. I really don't get their idea but it looks like that and they are absolutely disgusting and brainwashed. Their everyday lives must be everyday nightmares.

U.N. chief to skip Beijing ceremony

Summary: The United Nations secretary general has joined a growing list of high-profile leaders who have indicated they will not attend the Olympic Games' opening ceremony in Beijing. Ban-Ki Moon said he had told Chinese authorities that he "may not" be in a position to attend due to scheduling issues. "While he's there, he can also take an opportunity to press them on religious freedoms, because this is something that is going to continue after the Olympics," said White House Press Secretary Dana Perino.

Opinion: I am pretty sure that this guy is scared. I know how everything is possible in China. Nothing is impossible, by adidas, is perfect sentence for china. Even the torch relay had been troubled and I am pretty sure that UN chief is worried about his safety there. Chinese people can be pretty crazy and they don't have much order as a leading county's citizens. Well, whatever it is, it's funny that UN chief even thinks about skipping the olympic ceremony.

China's yuan breaks through key level

Summary: China's currency nudged past 7.0 yuan to the U.S. dollar. The official Xinhua News Agency reported that the yuan was trading at 6.9920 to $1 -- the first time it has ventured below the 7 yuan mark since the government loosened the unit's peg to the dollar in 2005. The yuan has gained about 18 percent in value since then. That has made Chinese-made products more expensive overseas while shrinking the yuan-denominated value of profits from exports.

Opinion: Well, hopefully, the price of chinese product get higher and nobody will buy them and chinese economy will collapse. This is dumb. I think for win-win situation, chinese yuan should stay lower. Many people in the world these days need lower price products and governments want them too because they want their exports go well. I think the value of yuan should go down instead of going up
