[Notice the way it's strapped]
And compare to the marks on these two other photos of the object that washed ashore :
The article these photos come from :
vnews - An object suspected to be an explosive washes into Baarah
"Maldives Police Services (MPS) reported that reports of such an object were filed with the department yesterday evening around 5.30 pm and that Maldives National Defense Force (MNDF) had taken in the object.
MNDF Spokesperson Major Hussain Ali said that the object is an explosive and the MNDF Northern Area team is active in the area."
My only question is : what amount of BS are we willing to eat in the name of "security" ?
As Benjamin Franklin said : "Those who surrender freedom for security will not have, nor do they deserve, either one."
And i'm pretty sure that the right to be told the truth is included in freedom.
Big words put aside, i see 239 other good reasons to demand that officials stop treating us as idiotic children. Shame on the mass media for not even have begun to try that.
