|    My Incorrect Memory.    |

      From: eaglesondouglas@gmail.com              I once posted on Thatcher's reaction to the IRA bomb attempt on Gibraltar back       in the 80s. I said the Parliament approved their throats being cut.       This was incorrect, they were simply shot multiple times while on the ground.       My only excuse is an incorrect reading of some words of Thatcher.              In that context maybe the issue was the summary killing of the suspects.       I am left with a sole excuse. The Parliament maybe made an analogy       concerning the means of the judgment. Even if the execution was by throat       cutting, it would be justified.              In this this test of my memory I reference a Washington Post article from like       35 years ago. Concerning South Korea's nuclear weapon program.       A paraphrase. "What would you do if you were South Korea?"              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
