Just when you thought it was over, the temperature at reactor number 2 at Fukushima’s nuclear plant has soared 26.7C in the last few hours. Worse: they don’t know why the temperature is increasing after being stabilised for so long. The reactor reached 73.3C after being stabilised at 45C since last December.

By Gizmodo at 7 February, 2012, 7:00 am
Anonymous’ gutting of Puckett & Faraj, the firm that defended the Marines behind the Haditha Killing, might have been more than a major embarrassment. The hack attack might have killed the group entirely. In an email released by Anonymous in the wake of the attack — suggesting they still had their hands inside the attorneys’ bowels after the news broke — we see the fir …
