Posted on Jan 9, 2009 abc.go.com By G.W. Schulz, Center for Investigative Reporting Note: G.W. Schulz is working on a project at the Center for Investigative Reporting about homeland security in the United States, “America’s War Within,” which can be found here. The inaugural episode of ABC’s newest reality television series did exactly as producer Arnold Shapiro told viewers it would: unabashedly celebrated the Department of Homeland Security. It also failed in every conceivable way to critically examine the largest reorganization of the federal government since World War II. “Homeland Security USA” is the latest iteration of reality TV that like the show ...

Court says evidence is valid despite police error By MARK SHERMAN, Associated Press Writer Mark Sherman, Associated Press Writer 2 hrs 8 mins ago WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court said Wednesday that evidence obtained after illegal searches or arrests based on simple police mistakes may be used to prosecute criminal defendants. The justices split 5-4 along ideological lines to apply new limits to the court's so-called exclusionary rule, which generally requires evidence to be suppressed if it results from a violation of a suspect's Fourth Amendment right to be free from unreasonable searches or seizure. The conservative majority acknowledged that the arrest of Bennie Dean ...

Washington - United States Senator Hillary Clinton said on Tuesday that she would focus on the Darfur crisis as top US diplomat and the Obama administration was looking at options including the creation of no-fly zones. "There is a great need for us to sound the alarm again about Darfur. It is a terrible humanitarian crisis compounded by a corrupt and very cruel regime in Khartoum," Clinton said at a Senate hearing to confirm her nomination as secretary of state. She said the incoming Obama administration was reviewing US policy toward Darfur and the UN/African Union force must be fully deployed. "We have spoken about other options, no-fly zones, other sanctions and ...

Casus Belli: An event or political occurrence that brings about a declaration of war. -- Random House Unabridged Dictionary, The Brady Campaign has declared war on American gunowners. Their declaration can be found here. The relevant excerpt: Congress should enact strong legislation that closes the loopholes in the previous assault weapons statute and restricts civilian ownership of other weapons that were originally designed for military use, such as .50 caliber sniper rifles that have the range and power to bring down aircraft. High capacity ammunition magazines and armor-piercing bullets should be similarly restricted. "Restricts civilian ownership of other weapons that were ...

An ancient right to refuse forced entry into our houses has been tossed aside, says Philip Johnston. Before Christmas, a family friend had a visit from the bailiffs. For various complicated personal reasons, the local authority thought she had not paid a council tax bill. She had, only they had not registered it properly under the correct name. When the bailiff arrived at her home, she was out and her son answered the door. He walked in without a by-your-leave and proceeded to make an inventory of her possessions before departing. As can be imagined, she was horrified by this violation of her family's privacy. The local council, on checking its records, acknowledged its mistake and ...

The man arrested at Los Angeles International Airport with a trunk full of guns and nearly 1,000 rounds of ammunition said Saturday that he is a law-abiding weapons enthusiast who had no idea he might be breaking the law. A day after he was arrested for suspicion of felony transportation of an assault rifle, Phillip Dominguez said he's confident he'll be exonerated. "Our Second Amendment rights are being trampled in the name of law enforcement," Dominguez said. "I'm a law-abiding, taxpaying gun enthusiast. I have no felonies - up until now." Airport police saw it a little differently. "In the post-Sept. 11 environment, it is well-known by weapon ...

It's about how safe—and yet horribly, horribly imperiled, every minute—you are right now. Which is to say, it's a reality program about airport security staff and all the myriad crazy things (human skulls!) they have to clear through their checkpoints. It's produced by the guy who gave us Big Brother along with, you guessed it, the Department of Homeland Security. It's one of ...

He is accused of shooting Mahogany Run resident Marcus Sukow. It is unclear whether Clark had an attorney. The ATF did not return calls for comment. ...

The oversize white envelope bore the blue logo of the Department of Homeland Security. Inside, I found 20 photocopies of the government's records on my international travels. Every overseas trip I've taken since 2001 was noted. I had requested the files after I had heard that the government tracks "passenger activity." Starting in the mid-1990s, many airlines handed over passenger records. Since 2002, the government has mandated that the commercial airlines deliver this information routinely and electronically. A passenger record typically includes the name of the person traveling, the name of the person who submitted the information while arranging the trip, and details ...

Posted by Bill Anderson at January 7, 2009 10:23 AM Manuel's post also raises the larger question about the nature of police and government. The article also points out that Baltimore's mayor, Sheila Dixon, is not objecting to this new policy: A spokesman for Mayor Sheila Dixon said she will not interfere with the department's decision. Not surprisingly, the police union is all in favor of this farce: The police union applauded the policy change. Robert F.

The Office of Legal Counsel, inside the Justice Department, is probably the most consequential federal government office that remains relatively obscure.

It was from that office that John Yoo, Jay Bybee and others did so much damage, issuing now-infamous memoranda that ...
Cheney: Bush's Actions Legal If Not Impeached

If you don't get punished, you didn't go anything wrong, right? That's the message Vice President Dick Cheney gave in an interview with CBS' Bob Schieffer on Sunday, suggesting that a president's actions are legal if those actions didn't result in his impeachment. Asked by Schieffer if he believed that anything the president does in time of war is legal, Cheney said there is "historic precedent of taking action that you wouldn't take in peacetime." Cheney referenced Abraham Lincoln as an example of another president who "suspended the writ of habeus corpus" during a war, prompting this exchange: ### SCHIEFFER: But nobody thinks that was ...
Classical Fathering vs the Judeo-Christian Model

Every father has a natural desire to pass on his values and beliefs, just as he passes on his genes. This desire can be easily gratified in those persons who are satisfied to let a church, synagogue, or mosque define and convey those values and beliefs. In this interview with Frederick Hodges, we dig at the roots of Western philosophical thought, and try to establish whether we can find some basic values on which to build a moral system free of the influence of religious zealotry. FatherMag asks...The doctrines expressed in the Bible had already spawned the Jews, then came the Christians, and finally the Moslems. From the Middle East, these groups spread their value system westward into the ...

"I ain't never been so scared," says Williams. Police forced entry into Williams home while responding to a shooting, but it turned out to be a false call. They had no idea at the time the call wasn't real and that Williams is hearing impaired. Without his hearing aid he is basically deaf. "I kept going to my ear yelling that I was scared. I can't hear!

A mistaken police dispatch about a stolen car led to an early morning shooting on Wednesday of a Bellaire man in his own driveway and a demand by his lawyers that the officer who shot him be brought up on criminal charges. Attorneys for Robert Tolan, 23, said he was a victim of racial profiling by Bellaire police and did nothing to justify being shot as his parents watched outside their home. "We want the district attorney to charge this officer," said Geoffrey Berg. "There can't be an explanation that can justify what the police did to this kid." Family members said Tolan and his cousin were lying on the walkway near his parents' front door around 2 a.m. when ...
