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, t
he 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.
