- Japan's Blue Whale and Minke Whale Hunt Ends
  Posted by Jeff from The Independent
  The Japanese say they take only Minke Whales but Blue have been taken too: The country admitted yesterday that this year's hunt - due to kill 945 whales by mid-March - will probably have to be abandoned as a result of a fire that has crippled its fleet's mother ship, the Nisshin Maru, and raised fears of an oil spill into the area's pristine waters

The neocons know that those photos are fake, because the bodies look burned.
