British police said Sunday they have arrested a suspect in connection with hoax e-mails that informed people their missing loved ones had died in south Asia's tsunamis.

I can't fathom how somebody could want to just crush people's hopes like that. It is so cruel and inhumane.

That's just plain disgusting. What possible motivation could he have to trick people into thinking their relatives are dead? The cruelest thing I've see all year... but it's early yet. [Grumble]
