- Some very senior Dept. of Justice employees will be running for the hills, or at least for their lawyers, after a report on the legality of certain post-9/11 detentions is (finally!) released on Monday. Among those named, I was quite surprised to see Michael Chertoff, head of DOJ's Criminal Division, who I mainly knew from his really top-notch job as US Attorney in New Jersey. For a Republican he seemed okay but apparantly he got caught up in the DC morass and went way past the bounds of decency. |

- I've been doing a bit of research lately and am more convinced than ever that the Dutch and Belgian television markets are mature an competitive enough for a helicopter news service. Since I've been training for my PPL on a Robinson R44, this machine's low operating cost and efficiency has had a lot of my attention. I think it's perfect for the mission. Robinson sells a fully configured News Helicopter for $200 more than the standard R44. Needless to say I was dissapointed after an afternoon of searching Google, Teoma and Ask that there appear to be no alternatives to the usual suspects when it comes to stabilized cameras and mounts. |
