Looks like Putin's daughter was chased out of the Netherlands: | Quote: |  | | | Vladimir Putin’s daughter has apparently fled her $3.3 million penthouse near Amsterdam as fury grows over Russia’s suspected involvement in the shootdown of Flight 17. Maria Putin, 29, has become a target of outrage in the Netherlands since 298 people, most of them Dutch, were killed in the July 17 destruction of the Malaysia Airlines jet over Ukraine. | | | | | http://www.nydailynews.com/news/worl...icle-1.1879616 |

She was lucky to be living in a country where the people are quite laid back; in other countries the reactions would have been more violent and personal.

I was in Amsterdam last week and it's very sad. The whole area at Departures 3 is cordoned off and there are many, many flowers. The country is in mourning, we observed a minute's silence at 1600 on Wednesday with everyone else in the country.
The first bodies being returned to the Netherlands made for the eeriest tv programme I've even seen. No commentary, total respect.....and very sad.
And this morning as I was boarding a flight for home, I was passed by an Asian family in tears.
Very sad, needless and completely avoidable (if man was not hell-bent on killing his fellow man that is) | The following 15 users would like to thank Sean Connery for this useful post: | 3Wishes, Assassin, esto, greenmount, hannah'sauntie, jacek, k_and_e, Leggat, meloncollie, Slaphead, st2lemans, Texaner |

Latest from the US.
"The Federal Aviation Administration told US carriers on Thursday night to fly above 30,000ft in Iraq, having previously instructed them to keep above 20,000ft."
Sounds to me like a typical bureaucratic compromise? If somebody has a missile that will reach 20,000ft then it can also reach 30,000ft?

A bit of a stretch, but probably as realistic as some of Moscow's far-flung ideas. Great for the conspiracy theory types... | Quote: |  | | | Aeroflot plane instead of MH17?
The head of Ukraine’s Security Service says pro-Moscow rebels had planned to shoot down a Russian Aeroflot passenger plane the day of the downing of Malaysian Airlines flight MH17 to create a pretext for a Russian invasion of eastern Ukraine.
The separatists’ intention was to down Aeroflot flight AFL-2074 which was en route from Moscow to Larnaca, Cyprus, at approximately the same time and in the same air space as flight MH17, which passed over eastern Ukraine June 17, Interfax-Ukraine quoted Valentyn Nalyvaichenko as saying.
Nalyvaichenko said his agency reached the conclusion during the course of its own investigation into the downing of MH17.
He said that the Russian-provided Buk anti-air missile battery which was used to down MH17 had been transferred to Ukraine for that purpose, and that the Aeroflot plane with Russian passengers on board was supposed to have been shot down over territory controlled by Ukrainian government troops.
“This terrorist act, cynically, was planned as a pretext for the launch of an all-out aggression [into Ukraine] in response to the mass killing of innocent Russians,” Nalyvaichenko said.
There has been no immediate reaction from Moscow to the claim. | | | | | http://www.voanews.com/content/nato-...t/2405913.html |

"
This was after the highly reputable New Straits Times printed a speech supposedly by Senator Nick Xenophon, an independent member of the Australian Parliament, in 2012.
Turns out the speech was actually from 2009 and (according to the wikipedia article) was originally an attack on Scientology but the highly reputable New Straits Times changed some of the words to turn it into an attack on Islam | This user would like to thank marton for this useful post: | | This user groans at marton for this post: | |
