Bush sends us 'secret' uni mate
Quote:
GEORGE BUSH has nominated a university friend, Robert Davis McCallum jnr, to fill the job of American ambassador after leaving the job vacant for 13 months.
The US President and Mr McCallum both attended Yale and in 1968 were chosen as members of its elite and secret Skull and Bones society. The 170-year-old group boasts presidents, judges, diplomats and business chiefs among its ranks. It is believed exactly 15 university juniors are recruited each year by being "tapped" on the shoulder by seniors.
McCallum is also a Rhodes Scholar...

Meanwhile...it looks as if Milosevic has been murdered...
Milosevic feared he was being poisoned: lawyer
Quote:
BELGRADE (Reuters) - Former Yugoslav leader Slobodan Milosevic feared he was being poisoned in his detention cell in The Hague, his lawyer Zdenko Tomanovic said on Saturday hours after the tribunal announced Milosevic's death.
Report: Milosevic's Blood Had Drug Traces
Quote:
THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) - Traces of a drug used to treat leprosy and tuberculosis were found in a blood sample taken in recent months from former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic, a Dutch news report said, citing an unidentified "adviser" to the U.N. war crimes tribunal.
It does look suspicious, doesn't it? Milosevic and the star witness in his case both die under suspicious circumstances, in custody, within a week of each other, only months before the trial was supposed to close up.
