mundensAnd they'd rather you didn't know where it was either.
Via Daily Kos : 100,000 People murdered in the U.S since 9/11.
Basically, local crime is a far greater killer of those living in the United States than terrorism is ever likely to be, and the focus on airline security and spying on private citizens has decimated the county's ability to deal with violent crime.
And yet violent crime is not being reported effectively by U.S media, and the major outlets haven't reported the approximately 10% overall rise in violent crime in the U.S. between 2004 and 2006.
However, the quality of graffiti seems to be improving(NSFW).
(BTW, for the Harry Potter addicts, if you dig around a bit on the kontraband site (and can withstand the misogyny on display) there's a film clip that purports to be the girl who played Hermione running around a bedroom wearing only a pair of panties...)
