    Tea is good for you, it is not so if you have two spoonfuls of sugar per cup- that soon adds up (although my service standard was 3 to 5 per mug, I gave that up long ago). Now its black tea only.

    But as I said the problem comes with a combination of tea and full fat dairy products such as cream and ice cream and the like, ie the things that are making Brits and Americans overweight, if you look at Demjanjuk he doesn't look slim. Evidently substances in the tea catalyse the minerals in the dairy product, the kidneys attempt to expell these and guess what? There is possibly an ethnic component in it too Northern Europeans seem more prone to kdney stones and similar complaints.

    I have a friend who live near this guy's neighborhood, and apparently, his grandson had arranged with the PD a less humiliating method of apprehension (as opposed to being taken away in a patrol car) but that didn't happen.

    Fair enough a person can surrender to the police or the DAs office at a pre-arranged time but if the Police come to get the accused then the chances are it will be the "perp walk" and as the street is a public place the press may well be there too. If the Grandson made pre-arangements then it is up to him to carry them out.

    Demjanjuk's being video taped in what can only be considered "normal" activities certainly didn't help his " sick old man" stance. Sorta like those scam artists who hit up disability, or Workman's Comp. funds and then are caught chopping wood, taking off their braces and such. When shown the video in court they usually just hang their heads and pay the money back.

    Demjanjuk was probably not the "Ivan the Terrible" he was accused of being that first time, but I don't think he was an innocent POW either. We shall see what the German courts produce, both in evidence and decisions.

    Demjanjuk charged over WWII killings - Yahoo! News

    German prosecutors formally charged John Demjanjuk on Monday with 27,900 counts of being an accessory to murder at a Nazi death camp during World War II.

    The charges against the 89-year-old retired auto worker, who was deported from the U.S. in May, were filed at a Munich state court, prosecutors in the city said in a brief statement.

    Prosecutors accuse Demjanjuk of serving as a guard at the Sobibor camp in Nazi-occupied Poland in 1943.

    Demjanjuk, a native of Ukraine, says he was a Red Army soldier who spent the war as a prisoner of war and never hurt anyone.

    Prosecution lawyers in Germany have 22 witnesses lined up for the trial of Nazi death camp guard John Demjanjuk starting mid-October, Spiegel magazine reported on Sunday.

    The judge in the court in the southern city of Munich has already approved eight of the witnesses whose family members were murdered at the Sobibor death camp in Nazi occupied Poland between April and July 1943, Spiegel said.
