The personal travel records are meant to be stored for as long as 15 years, as part of the Department of Homeland Security's effort to assess the security threat posed by all travelers entering the country.

Next Step to 9/11 Justice Joel S. Hirschhorn Everyone thinks of terrorism and homeland security for lessons learned from 9/11. There is another opportunity. Make our government trustworthy and truthful. The 9/11 truth movement is stronger than ever, though it is generally derided by politicians and ignored by the mainstream media. It is fueled by people passionate about alternative explanations to the official 9/11 story. Understandable, considering that the co-chairs of the 9/11 Commission admitted: “We were set up to fail.” In 2006 Time magazine said: “The population of [the 9/11 truth movement] is larger than you might think. A Scripps-Howard poll of 1,010 adults last ...

Dan Rather, whose career at CBS News ground to an inglorious end 15 months ago over his role in an unsubstantiated report questioning President Bush’s Vietnam-era National Guard service, filed a lawsuit this afternoon against the network, its corporate parent and three of his former superiors.

He also contends that the network committed fraud by commissioning a “biased” and incomplete ...

O.J. Simpson’s latest legal troubles have dominated the news this week. The truth about what happened may never be ascertained, because all of the evidence is circumstantial and it’s a classic "he said, he said" story. According to the police report, an acquaintance of Simpson’s, auction house owner Tom Riccio, found out somehow that two Las Vegas sports memorabilia dealers had items that he believed belonged to Simpson, and he informed Simpson of this. Simpson came to Las Vegas from his home in Florida last week for a wedding, so he decided to retrieve his items while he was there. Conspiring with Simpson, Riccio lured the two dealers to a motel room last ...

Since the people of Jena voted for me twice to speak for them as their Senator and as their Governor, I will ardently speak for them now. The people of Jena, the people of Louisiana and I are not racist. We simply want justice to be done. We understand ...

Question: Is the Constitution Legitimate? Did you know that the American People opposed the adoption of the U.S. Constitution? Did you Know that Patrick Henry ("give me liberty or give me death!") lectured against the Constitution? He warned it would be an artifice to set up a tyranny. What if the U.S. Constitution was a fraud and usurpation from the beginning? What if everything we are told to believe about the Constitution is a string of lies based on more lies? What if the entire American legal and political system was a lie based on a fraud perpetrated by traitors who sought to destroy what America was before the "Constitutional Era?" Many people speak of the ...

By PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS Naïve Americans who think they live in a free society should watch the video filmed by students at a John Kerry speech September 17, Constitution Day, at the University of Florida in Gainesville.

Why, Meyer asked, had Kerry conceded the election so quickly when ...

FORT MEADE, Md. - President Bush said Wednesday he wants Congress to expand and make permanent a law that temporarily gives the government more power to eavesdrop without warrants on suspected foreign terrorists. Without such action, Bush said, "our national security professionals will lose critical tools they need to protect our country." "It will be harder to figure out what our enemies are doing to train, recruit and infiltrate operatives into America," the president said during a visit to the super-secret National Security Agency's headquarters. "Without these tools, our country will be much more vulnerable to attack." The Foreign Intelligence ...

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate narrowly rejected legislation on Wednesday that would have given military detainees the right to protest their detention in federal court. The 56-43 vote fell four shy of the 60 votes needed to cut off debate on the bill, co-sponsored by Sens. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., and Arlen Specter, R-Pa. It was a blow for human rights groups that say a current ban on habeas corpus petitions could lead to the indefinite detention of individuals wrongfully suspected of terrorism. President Bush and conservative Republicans counter that the ban, enacted last year, was necessary to stem the tide of legal protests flooding civilian courts. Among the 56 senators voting in ...
