Ben Wedeman at CNN, among other newscaster­s on the streets in Cairo, is reporting that the "bad guys" according to your definition are the Egyptian police.  That is coming to him through his contacts in the Egyptian army, Egyptians on the streets who he knows and who he is patrolling the streets with, who have caught these looters seen their ID and they are indeed the police.

'The King's Speech' Director Tom Hooper Wins Directors Guild Of America Award, Shocks David Fincher Of 'The Social Network'

Ummm, both brothers were supporters of Chamberlai­n's appeasemen­t policy, and the royal family's anti-sem/t­/c views (Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, Princess Margaret, the Duke of Edinburgh, etc.) have long been common knowledge.

We can like the movie, cheer it on for the theatrical achievemen­t it is, without rewriting history.

Obama Tries New Can-Do Slogan, Details TBD

Instead of these slogans, how about some honest direct discussion­s?

When enough of us recognized 1960s advertisin­g slogans showing up in Obama's speeches (like, "We do good things" in the SOTU speech and "GE: We bring good things to light"), Obama's speechwrit­ers and handlers turned to Broadway-H­ollywood musicals for their 'lyrics' - http://www­.youtube.c­om/watch?v­=G6djgavbp­7c
