This follow up story about the arrest of a man charged with being in possession of one of the stolen rocket launchers claims:
The rocket launcher is believed to be one of seven stolen from the Australian Defence Force (ADF)
So what’s going on? As I said on the show during the week, Brendan Nelson, the Defense Minister, claims they did an audit and nothing was found to be missing. But there were SEVEN stolen? Anyone understand this?

So… the US had Saddam executed before he could spill the beans on them during the next phase of his trial. Duncan and I debate the whole thing a bit on the show and here’s a list of links for you to read more.
Top Ten Ways the US Enabled Saddam Hussein
The High Commissioner for United Nation Human Rights, Louise Arbour, warned that there should be no rush to execute former Iraqi leader Sadddam Hussein saying the trial wasn’t fair. The Human Rights Watch agrees. But John Howard doesn’t. Surprise Surprise.
Apparently someone might be stealing rocket launchers and other weapons from the Aussie Army.

I can’t tell you how exhilarated I am tonight after watching Richard Dawkins’ two-part DVD “The Root Of All Evil?“. For years I have become increasingly uncomfortable with the feeling that I should just accept christianity as a reasonable viewpoint. Particularly as my boys grow up, I find it unreasonable that they should be told that the religious perspective is as equally valid a way of thinking about the world and their place in it as a rational, reason-based perspective which takes in all of the facts available to them.
Earlier today I also listened to the Point of Inquiry podcast with Sam Harris, author of “Letter To A Christian Nation” and it was equally as exhilarating. To finally have some highly erudite statesmen for the reason-based community is a relief and inspiration, even though the message they are delivering, that reason is on a slippery slope in the West at the moment, is one that is deeply concerning to me.
Humanity has had to endure thousands of years of persecution and being held back from progress as a result of the particular mythologies of the leaders of our societies. Too many millions of people had to die to get us to the privileged position we are in the 21st century, where we have the freedom to review the facts and make a reason-based decision on how the world works and our position in it.
The thought that religious zealots could reverse that trend, sending us back to the dark ages, should be terrifying to any sane person.

Today my guests are TPN’s host of The Atomic Show, Rod Adams, and we’re very honoured to have with us again the Wisconsin Secretary of State, Doug La Follette.
**I want to apologize straight off for the poor sound quality. Despite a soundcheck, my mic settings were way off and I’ve done the best I can to make it survivable.**
Doug tells us a little about his recent trip to Thailand and then the gents discuss the pros and cons of nuclear energy versus other forms of alternative energy.
Some other links:
Rod mentioned the Externe report that was supported by the European
Commission. Here is a link to that study.
The Wikipedia link to Thomas Malthus – the intellectual founder of the Zero Population Growth
