Stranger than fiction

Abortion provider George Tiller was gunned down in his Lutheran Church in Wichita, KS on May 31st. A 51-year old white male reportedly shot Tiller in the foyer of the church and fled in a blue Ford Taurus. He was arrested without incident three hours later

Tiller had been the focus of the abortion debate in the U.S. since the 1980’s, primarily due to his ownership of one of the few late term abortion clinics in the country. The clinic was firebombed in 1986 and vandalized a number of times since then. Tiller had also been shot in 1993, but survived.

The question over whether to make the public plan option available in all parts of the country has emerged as one of the thorniest of the health care debate. Republicans say a nationwide public plan option would be a “non-starter” and would represent a march toward a single-payer, socialized health care insurance system. They argue that government competition would drive private health care companies out of business. Apparently in our ‘free market’ economy, it is not fair for companies to actually have to compete.

Iranian authorities placed blame on the U.S. for the recent shooting up of the president’s office by gunmen and the bombing of a mosque which killed 23 and injured many others. No evidence of U.S. complicity was given.

Ayatollah Ahmad Khatami said the following:

“The hands of America and Israel were undoubtedly involved in this incident. Although Wahhabis and the infidel and evil Salafists were an accomplice to the crime, they were being led from somewhere else.”

The claims could hurt attempts by the Obama administration to resolve the many disputes between the two countries.

The al Qaeda-linked group Jundallah claimed responsibility for the bombing.
