Thingee's later career
After his falling out and artistic split with co-host Jason Gunn, Thingee moved from the insulated world of TVNZ to the Veitchian wilderness of ostracism and inner despair. 
From pot to heroine and one seedy dive to another - that's the last we heard of him. Just another sad washed up Millie Holmes, struggling to make the Sunday News.Well, it turns out Thingee moved to South America, got hooked on cocaine and now hosts sleazy game shows to pay for his habit. Look out for brief shots of a ravaged and drug-addled Thingee in this exclusive footage. Watch...
The fake ears are fooling no-one.

ROBERT FISK;
OUR "SUPERIOR" WESTERN ARMIES, ARE MUCH HAPPIER IN BOSNIA OR "ILLEGALLY" INVADING IRAQ.
DUTY UNTO DEATH AND THE U.N.THE DEBACLE IN SOMALIA HARDLY SUPPORTS THIS VIEW BUT HAVE THE AMERICANS "DONE ANY BETTER" IN IRAQ?
ONCE THE U.N WAS DISCARDED IN WENT THE U.S ARMY AND BLAIR'S LADS AND NOW THEY'VE GOT AN INSURGENCY ON THEIR HANDS (IN PAKISTAN) WHICH IS GROWING IN INTENSITY AND WHERE NO "WESTERNER" CAN SHOW THEIR FACE WITHOUT FEAR OF DEATH!
WHAT IF THE U.N HAD SENT A MULTINATIONAL FORCE INTO IRAQ OR AFGHANISTAN INSTEAD OF NATO OR 'US'/"NZ"UNDER THE BRITISH WITH 15 OTHER PEACEKEEPING NATIONS.WHAT IF THE INDIANS AND THE NEPALESE HAD DONE THE JOB INSTEAD?
COULD IT HAVE BEEN ANY WORSE A MESS THAN WE HAVE TODAY?
IF SADDAM HAD HIS "WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION" MOMENT ALL OVER AGAIN WOULD HE HAVE HIDDEN IN A HOLE IN THE GROUND OR COME OUT SWINGING?
TORTURE AND RENDITION;PAUL THEROUX.
"SOME AMERICANS COME HERE.WE HAVE BASES."
I MIGHT HAVE KNOWN.ROMANIA WAS IN THE NEWS AS AMERICA'S FRIEND IN THE WAR ON TERRORISM.ITS RIGHT-WING GOVERNMENT ,DESPERATE FOR MONEY, EAGER TO JOIN THE EUROPEAN UNION ,HAD APPROVED THE IMPRISONING AND INTERROGATION OF SUSPECTS.THE PROCESS, CALLED EXTRAORDINARY RENDITION, MEANT THAT A MAN LIKE THE ONE DESCRIBED IN THE NEW YORK TIMES IN JULY 2006 FROM ALGERIA, WHO WAS PICKED UP BY AMERICAN AGENTS IN TANZANIA, WOULD BE BLINDFOLDED AND SENT TO A THIRD COUNTRY TO BE QUESTIONED-AND QUESTIONING ALWAYS INVOLVED SOME SORT OF TORTURE, RANGING FROM SLEEP DEPRIVATION , TO THE SUFFOCATION AND SIMULATED DROWNING CALLED WATERBOARDING, TO BEING HANGED BY THE WRISTS AGAINST THE WALL OF A CELL, ALL THESE METHODS UNDER THE ORWELLIAN EUPHEMISM 'ENHANCED INTERROGATION TECHNIQUES'.I NEVER HEARD THAT EXPRESSION WITHOUT THINKING OF A PRISONER BEING KICKED IN THE BALLS.
AMERICA'S PRISONERS FROM ACROSS THE WORLD WERE SHIPPED OFF TO, AMONG OTHER PLACES, JAILS IN ROMANIA, WHERE HUMANE CONVENTIONS DID NOT HAVE TO BE OBSERVED AND "TORTURE WAS ALLOWED"(?)
BUT THE INCARCERATION AND INTERROGATION HAD BEEN INSTIGATED BY THE UNITED STATES AND PAID FOR BY AMERICAN TAXPAYERS.(SO THEY ARE CUPABLE)!
THE PROGRAM WAS SO SECRET THAT IT WAS ONLY WHEN, AFTER TWO OR MORE YEARS, A PRISONER WAS RELEASED AND INTERVIEWED BY A NEWSPAPER (AS SEVERAL HAD) THAT THE DESPICABLE PROGRAM WAS REVEALED.POLAND WAS ALSO MENTIONED AS A COUNTRY OF INTERROGATION UNDER TORTURE.

10, the ghost in the machine;
the end result was that american policy toward iraq involved into one of containment through sanctions...the new clinton administration accepted this policy in 1993 as a fait accompli...faced with iraqi acts of provocation and confrontation (with unscom) clinton continued covert action against iraq...the c.i.a were involved in the weapons inspection process...later that year in june clinton retaliated because of iraq's involvement in a plot to kill former president bush during a visit to kuwait earlier in the year.
THUS WHEN CLINTON 'LOOSED OFF' ANOTHER 23 TOMAHAWK MISSILES ON THE MUKHABARAT IN BAGHDAD IN SO-CALLED "RETALIATION" FOR A PLOT TO KILL GEORGE BUSH, ANOTHER PRESIDENT CONDEMNED AN INNOCENT MAN TO HIS DEATH...THE CASE AGAINST THE ACCUSED IRAQIS WAS DEEPLY FLAWED AND EIGHT CIVILIANS WERE ALSO AMONG THE VICTIMS OF A WAYWARD CRUISE MISSILE...CLINTONS MISSILE ATTACK PRE-EMPTED THE TRIAL AND SET THE CONTEXT FOR THEIR CONVICTIONS AT THE GALLOWS IN KUWAIT...THE ONLY KUWAITI CONDEMNED TO DEATH , BADR AL-SHAMAARI , CLAIMED THE CLINTON ATTACK PREJUDICED A FAIR TRIAL...
EIGHT YEARS LATER, GEORGE BUSH'S SON DURING A SPEECH INTENDED TO GARNER SUPPORT FOR AN INVASION OF IRAQ, CLAIMED THAT; "SADDAM HAD TRIED TO KILL MY DAD"!

the age of the warrior, selected writings, pages 277,278,279;chapter eight,the cult of cruelty;
torture and 'rendition' have become the new symbols of the liberal west, electrodes, waterboarding, beatings, ...rape and murder have now become "commonplace"...
