American Still
Critical After San Pedro Double Shooting![]() Police have still
not been able to question William Douglas Campbell, the 66-year-old
American who was found with a gunshot wound just after noon yesterday
near his residence in the Tres Cocos area north of San Pedro Town. He
remains in critical condition at the KHMH. He was shot the left side of
the chest which punctured his lung and injured his heart. While doctors
expect Campbell to live, his caretaker 39-year-old Honduran national
Danilo Villatoro was found dead outside the Tres Cocos home; he had
been shot to the left temple. More
Bring back hanging “... Join me in calling for the
re-institution of capital
punishment
so that those convicted for these senseless murders will be made to pay
the price for their actions, says Commissioner of Police Gerald
Westby.“We
will work vigorously with the Office of the Director of
Public Prosecutions to address the problem of repeat offenders. We will
reduce crime and violence in this country or we will die
trying.”Reporter
notes that although the capital punishment law is still on
the books, no Commissioner of Police in recent memory has so publicly
called on the state to administer the sentence of death on those guilty
of senseless murders. More
GOB Still Paying Godfrey's Bills
Earlier this week we
showed that
last year government paid US$2.4 million last year for Intelco phone
services when there are no services being provided. It's a burden
taxpayers bear for Glenn Godfrey and government's costly telecom
experiment. But that's not the end of the bill that taxpayers must pay
to cover Godfrey's bad debts. MoreHow Food and Fuel Compete for Land Historically,
the world’s farmers produced food, feed and fiber. Today, they are
starting to produce fuel as well. Since nearly everything we eat can be
converted into automotive fuel, the high price of oil is becoming the
support price for farm products.It
is also determining the price of food. On any given day,
there are now
two groups of buyers in world commodity markets: one representing food
processors and another representing biofuel producers. The line between
the food and fuel economies has suddenly blurred as service stations
compete with supermarkets for the same commodities. More
British ships net £350m Caribbean drugs haul A high-speed sunset swoop
involving
ships
from the Royal Navy and Royal
Fleet Auxiliary netted cocaine with a UK street value of £350
million. Defence Secretary John Reid said: "This is another great
success for the Royal Navy in countering the trafficking of illegal
drugs, which destroy the lives of families in the United Kingdom and
around the world. "The professional crews of HMS Southampton and RFA
Grey
Rover deserve huge credit for dealing another massive blow to the drug
barons that would attack our society." More

Tips
Here's my news tip! I read all of the on line
news from Belize and because the Guardian and Belize Times is party
papers I tend to read between the lines to get a sense of what really
is and is not. Party politics is nothing new and opposite views and
ideas is expected and encouraged. This keeps the Government of the day
on their toes and promotes democracy. The vile comments and inuendo
that seems to have taken over in almost anything that is printed in the
Belize Times has made me stop reading. Whomever is writing this stuff
should have their mouth washed out with soap (as my dear mother would
say, and do). The adolesent verbal attack on Mr. John August was both
uncalled for and inconcianable. He should be held up as an example of
what the youth of Belize should strive to be. One should be able to
disagree with ones politics without resorting to vile name calling. I
hope the editorial content will change so that I can once again read
what the sensible supporters of the PUP have to say.
