Haditha, East Timor, knife culture and more
Of course, one of the most talked about stories is the allegations that US Marines killed 24 civilians in an unprovoked attack in Iraq. The BBC's Justin Webb in Washington says that Americans are troubled by the allegations.
We're also hoping to go back to East Timor where the embattled prime minister has refused to step down. Supplies are running low in camps, and Australian troops have had to use tear gas to disperse gangs in Dili.
Also, we're going to talk about several recent knife attacks here in the UK. Do you feel safe?
We are also going to talk to people in the Netherlands about their reactions to efforts to launch a political party whose main agenda will be to legalise child pornography and sex with animals.
The Charity, Freedom and Diversity (NVD) party says that it will officially register today. It wants to cut the age of consent from 16 to 12 and eventually scrap the limit all together. In addition to several changes to Dutch laws on pornography and age of consent, the party also advocates all soft and hard drugs and providing free train travel for all.
As far as Haditha goes, there are a lot of blog posts out there. I'll try to put some here, but if you've got a favourite blog that you read and see a good post, flag it up in the comments. I'll link to it here.
