I pay you to pay me...
The Observer | Business | Shadow over Murdoch as Sky growth slows: "Sky is working on a loyalty card similar to that pioneered by supermarket chain Tesco. It would be inserted in Sky's set-top boxes, in the second 'interactive' slots that are not currently in use."
So let me get this straight. I pay Sky something in the region of 30 quid a month and they are going to reward me for watching Sky. So instead of watching the BBC on terrestrial I should watch on Sky...only that Sky have come off the Sky platform..so no loyalties there...
So they pay me for me paying them...
Why not just give it to me free and let the ads pay Shy their revenue. Oh no...that would never do, would it...what ever happened to the neo-conservative "user pays" credo?? It's lost somewhere on my loyalty card...

Law is of no consequence
The Observer | UK News | British quizzed Iraqis at torture jail: "Senior Pentagon sources have also told this newspaper that plans are being drawn up to bulldoze Abu Ghraib within a month in an attempt to assuage Arab outrage at photographs of US sexual abuse of detainees inside the prison.
But the commander of US detention facilities in Iraq said yesterday the US military will continue to run the prison with a reduced population and that if orders are received to close Abu Ghraib, the military would shift the mission to Camp Bucca, south of Basra.
The Red Cross disclosed to The Observer that its president, Jakob Kellenberger, had personally warned three of George W. Bush's most senior officials - National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice, Secretary of State Colin Powell and Deputy Defence Secretary Paul Wolfowitz - of widespread abuse tantamount to torture."
