FLASH News - Honduras cuts freedoms, Jackson's funeral for Tuesday, Staten Island Ferry mishap
- The Honduran Congress approved the temporary suspension of some liberties like freedom to assemble, and the right to free movement, allowing security forces to arrest people at home without a warrant during the night curfew period, AFP reported.
Can true freedom be "suspended"? Either Iran and Honduras are re-inventing the meaning of freedom and democracy, or I just had it wrong all along.
- Michael Jackson's funeral will take place on Tuesday at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, CNN reported. Meanwhile, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration has joined the investigation into whether prescription drugs were involved in his death.
- New York City Fire Department official said nine people were injured after the Staten Island Ferry in New York slammed into a dock at the George Ferry Terminal., BNO reported. All minor injuries; 750 were on board.
