At the request of some of our readers, discerning and literate bunch that you all are, commencing with the May 1, 2008 issue we began archiving the March Report in a form suitable for presentation. Be advised that some of the links to external sites on the archived pages will have gone dead. Morte. Kaputski. That being the case, archives will be deleted, or replaced with an image of the headline area only, as the page itself becomes useless (assuming that it wasn't to begin with, which may be presumptuous in and of itself).

Member Of The European Parliament For South East England Says, "Americans! Don't Copy The British Healthcare System!"

Daniel Hannan -- Telegraph (UK)
The NHS produces some of the worst health outcomes in the industrialized world. Britain is the Western state where you'd least want to have cancer or a stroke or heart disease; a country where thousands of people are killed in hospitals for reasons unrelated to their original condition. If this is our "greatest creation", Heaven help us. ...

France: Iran's Claim Of New Centrifuges 'Worrying

Herb Keinon -- Jerusalem Post (IL) and Associated Press
On Thursday, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad announced advances in the country's nuclear program, including the inauguration of a new nuclear-related facility and the testing of two types of high-capacity centrifuges that he said would speed up Iran's enrichment capacity. "These are worrying declarations," French Foreign Ministry spokesman Eric Chevallier told reporters. "We need to check the accuracy of the figures ... and for that we'll wait for the International Atomic Energy Agency." Chevallier urged Teheran to submit to a full IAEA inspection regime at all its nuclear sites and halt its uranium enrichment program. ...

Top British Terror Cop Resigns After Accidentally Showing Secret Documents

Bob Roberts -- Daily Mirror (UK)
Mr Quick's downfall came after he was pictured yesterday clutching sensitive documents as he arrived in Downing Street for a meeting with the Prime Minister and the Home Secretary. The documents showed top secret details of a major anti-terror operation in north west England. And the blunder meant a police operation to arrest the suspects had to be brought forward. ...

British Police Grill Pakistanis Over 'Major Plot'

Agence France-Presse (FR)
The Wednesday evening raids had been hastily brought forward by up to 24 hours after the country's top anti-terror chief, Scotland Yard's Assistant Commissioner Bob Quick, was photographed holding documents bearing details of the operation. The secret document was clearly visible as he arrived at Brown's Downing Street office. Quick resigned over the blunder. The document included locations of the raids and showed the alleged plot was "AQ-driven," meaning Al-Qaeda. ...

Recent weeks have seen a number of business executives in France held hostage, some overnight, by workers angry over restructuring and lay-off plans. In each case, they have been released unharmed, often after a promise to restart negotiations.

French Reject Internet Piracy Law

BBC News (UK)
The new legislation would have operated under a "three strikes" system. A new state agency would first send illegal file-sharers a warning e-mail, then a letter, and finally cut off their connection for a year if they were caught a third time. It was backed by both the film and record industries. But some consumer groups had warned that the wrong people might be punished - should hackers hijack their computers' identity, and that the scheme amounted to state surveillance. ...

Certifi-Gate! America In Captivity

Eligibility Flashpoint: "It Is Morphing Now To Include Members Of The Armed Forces"

Bob Unruh -- World Net Daily
Lyle Rapacki, a security analyst who provides intelligence information to a wide range of law enforcement, private corporation and security interests has reviewed the implications of an ineligible president, he said. "This could create a constitutional crisis. What does it do to the decisions that already have been made, already done for the economic issues that can't be taken back?" Adding fuel to the fire is Obama's persistent refusal to release documents that could provide answers. While his supporters cite an online version of a "Certification of Live Birth" from Hawaii, critics point out such documents actually were issued for children not born in the state. ...

Eligibility Judge Backs Off Sanctions Threat

Bob Unruh -- World Net Daily
"This assumes facts not in evidence and was not addressed. It is clear that the constitutional qualifications of President Soetoro/Obama have not been properly vetted. Judge Robertson even cites an earlier case filed in Pennsylvania by one of the two lead attorneys in this case, in which the judge claimed candidates in the recent presidential election had never been more closely vetted. Nothing was further from the truth. Effectively, the Pennsylvania District Court judge was introducing his own hearsay and opinion into the case as if it were acceptable evidence," attorney John D. Hemenway wrote. ...

Citizen Grand Jury Indicts Obama

Bob Unruh -- World Net Daily
The jurors took sworn testimony from several sources, including Dr. Orly Taitz, and then generated an indictment that later was forwarded to the U.S. attorney, the state attorney general and others in law enforcement across the state.

Battered residents of Mena, Arkansas waited for day light Friday to dig out from a "direct hit" by a tornado that killed three people, injured at least 24, and flattened homes and businesses, including a manufacturing plant.

Pirates seized the ship but the crew fought them off. There are thought to be four pirates with Capt Phillips in the lifeboat, which has reportedly run out of fuel, and it is not yet clear what they are demanding. ...

White House Denies Obama Bowed To Saudi King

Daniel Nasaw -- Guardian (UK)
It sure looks like a bow to me. For several days American conservatives have been fussing about what looks like Barack Obama bowing to Saudi King Abdullah when the two met at the G20 summit last week. Michelle Malkin howled: "I hope all the lefties who tore into Bush over his Saudi prostration will express equal disgust with President HopeAndChange's literal bowing and scraping to King Abdullah."

There's A Reason Obama Refuses To Accept Repayment Of TARP Money

Blacks At Odds Over Scrutiny Of Obama

Krissah Thompson -- Washington Post
Political blogger Faye Anderson: "Black folks don't know what to do with a black president," she says. "We really can't have a double standard." She accuses the traditional civil rights groups of "not doing what they would do if it was someone other than a black man in office." To hold Obama accountable, she created the Tracking Change wiki to follow the stimulus money and document whether a proportionate share reaches the black community. ...
