The perfidious French

Two items... Item One comes from Charles at LGF who has followed up on the French Soldiers firing on unarmed civilians and killing a large number of them. This was in the French Colony of the Ivory Coast. (as if the USA was trying to be an imperial power -- France still is...) bq. Swiss TV has video of French Army helicopters firing without warning on an Ivory Coast demonstration, on November 6, 2004. The LGF reader who emailed this link included these remarks:
It�s a REALMEDIA video (23 seconds only). It�s from a Swiss TV (TSR.CH) news show from 30.11.2004. You learn that the 6 .11.2004 french army helicopters shooted WITHOUT �warnings shots� on the crowd made of hundreds people. ������ Here is a translation: (speaking about 9.11.2004, Ivoiry hotel �massacre� ) �....However it�s wasn�t the first time French Army shooted without �warning shots� (shot in the air). We are on November 6, three days before the shooting of the hotel ivory. the demonstrators (manifestors) move towards the French military base. French helicopters shoot directly at the demonstrators. There would have been sixty died at the time of these various operations. Tonight, the French Army admits �a score� of about 20 deaths. ������ This Swiss TV investigation is made by the same person who forced french army to acknoledge the �9 november ivoiry hotel massacre". (It�s based on differents witnesses, and some French TV Canal+ images)
Item two comes from a Phishing Expedition conducted by a French Server. This is personal and is being investigated now as one of the principals lives in the USA. I was sent an email "from eBay". The email asked for some confirmation of personal data and pointed me to a site whose URL looked something like this: https;/signin.ebay,com/ws/eBayISAPI,dll?XXXXXXX-yadda-yadda-yadda OK - so far so good... Encrypted Secure Sockets login ( the https:// instead of the http://) so I click. I find questions like this:

And questions like THIS:

And I notice (remember the originating URL) that this site is coming from here:

I do a reverse DNS lookup and find the registrars of this site:

These fsckers have been hosting this site since June 2004. Here is the HTML code on how to make one URL look like another one (changed a little bit): [a href="http;/www.ebayupdate.XXX" onmouseover="self.status='': return false"]htps;/signin.ebay.XXX/eBayISAPI.dll?SignIn&UsingSSL=1&pUserId=?UPdate[a] UPDATE: Heh... That was fast. Visiting the site now gets this:
