America’s Injustice System Is Criminal by Paul Craig Roberts by Paul Craig Roberts DIGG THIS The Christmas season is a time to remember the unfortunate. Among the most unfortunate people are those who have been wrongly convicted and imprisoned. The United States has a large number of wrongfully convicted. There are many reasons for this. One is that the US has the largest percentage of its citizens imprisoned of all countries in the world, including China. One of every 32 US adults is behind bars, on probation or on parole. Given a wrongful conviction rate, the larger the percentage of citizens in jails, the greater the number of wrongfully convicted. According to the ...

Post-Katrina justice in slow motion Hundreds, if not thousands, languish behind bars without their day in court. By Ann M. Simmons Times Staff Writer 9:28 PM PST, December 11, 2006 In October 2005, less than two months after Hurricane Katrina struck, Pedro Parra-Sanchez was arrested for allegedly stabbing a man with a broken bottle during a fight. With the city's prison damaged by flooding, he was taken to a makeshift jail at the Greyhound bus station, then transferred to a correctional facility some 70 miles away, and later to a prison in southwest Louisiana. That's where Parra-Sanchez sat for more than a year — never seeing a lawyer or setting foot in a courtroom. At ...

"President George W. Bush has failed to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States; he has failed to ensure that senior members of his administration do the same; and he has betrayed the trust of the American people," Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney explained in remarks prepared to accompany her submission on Friday of articles of impeachment against Bush, Vice President Cheney and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. McKinney, in her last legislative act before leaving the House at the end of her current term, represented not merely a final thrust by the Georgia Democrat against the Bush administration that she has so consistently opposed but a challenge ...

Did voting machines steal a Democratic victory? In Katherine Harris' old Florida district, more than 18,000 votes went missing -- and a Republican won a House seat by 369 votes. By Katharine Mieszkowski Nov. 22, 2006 | The recount is over in the 13th Congressional District in Florida. The lawyers have won -- and the Democrat has lost. As in the presidential election of 2000, that loss appears to have been caused by a glitch in the voting process. But this time, the controversy centers on the very electronic voting machines many counties around the country purchased after the 2000 election in hopes of avoiding the sort of debacle that produced Bush v. Gore. On Monday, Florida ...
Government Threatens Padilla With Forced Cross-Examination

Check out the cruel and callous sections of the recent government motion in US v. Padilla on the defense's Motion To Dismiss For Outrageous Government Conduct: "Significantly, Padilla's counsel failed to inform this Court that the still photographs were taken as Padilla was being escorted to voluntary dental surgery. Far from proving any abuse, these photographs highlight the absurdity of Padilla's assertion: namely that the United States was callous enough to mistreat Padilla while conscientious enough to tend to his toothache." Catch that? Padilla's claims of 'torture' (they use the scare quotes throughout their motions) are absurd, because the ...

Daniel Ellsberg, who leaked secret Pentagon documents during the Vietnam war, said Wednesday that he believed the U.S. would attack Iran before 2008 and urged Washington insiders to make new disclosures to prevent a new war. Ellsberg, who is one of four recipients of this year's Right Livelihood Award — often dubbed the "Alternative Nobels" — being presented in Stockholm this week, also urged U.S. allies to threaten to withdraw from the NATO alliance if nuclear weapons are used against Iran.

Last Act Of Congress Preserves Internment Camps Suspicious restoration in name of "historical interest" will raise fears of link to Halliburton camps for dissidents Paul Joseph Watson Prison Planet Friday, December 8, 2006 One of the last acts of Congress was to send President Bush a bill that establishes a $38 million program of National Park Service grants to preserve Japanese POW internment camps in Hawaii, California, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Wyoming, Utah and Idaho. Is this really in the name of historical interest or does it dovetail with programs on the books to intern hundreds of thousands of dissidents in a time of crisis?

Newsweek’s Voodoo 'Gospel'

Are you tired of reading the Bible or one of the other Good Books? Do they not "do anything" for you any more? Well, then, read the Gettysburg Address instead, the real "American Gospel." That’s the message of a new book (The Gettysburg Gospel) by Gettysburg College’s Gabor Boritt, featured recently on the front cover of Newsweek. Never mind that Lincoln himself did not believe in God and even ridiculed those who did. The "American Gospel," as Boritt calls the Gettysburg Address, defines the "religion" of the U.S. government, the "good news of a free people," according to Boritt. Boritt does not deny that Lincoln was a ...

DP World to help test screening of U.S.-bound cargo POSTED: 6:12 p.m. EST, December 7, 2006 WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Dubai Ports World, the Arab-owned company which set off a furor with its purchase of six U.S. port operations earlier this year, has been cleared to join a federal pilot program to test the methods used to screen U.S.-bound cargo for radiation. The Security Freight Initiative involves the use of existing technology -- including streaming video and nuclear-detection devices -- at foreign ports, according to details announced Thursday by Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff. The United States, however, "will not outsource our security," Chertoff said, adding ...
Scope Of 2nd Amendment's Right To Bear Arms Questioned

WASHINGTON -- In a case that could shape firearms laws nationwide, attorneys for the District of Columbia argued Thursday that the 2nd Amendment right to bear arms applies only to militias, not individuals. The city defended as constitutional its long-standing ban on handguns, a law that some gun opponents have advocated elsewhere. Civil liberties groups and pro-gun organizations say the ban in unconstitutional. At issue in the case before a federal appeals court is whether the 2nd Amendment right to "keep and bear arms" applies to all people or only to "a well regulated militia." The Bush administration has endorsed individual gun-ownership rights but the Supreme ...

Cell phone users, beware. The FBI can listen to everything you say, even when the cell phone is turned off. A recent court ruling in a case against the Genovese crime family revealed that the FBI has the ability from a remote location to activate a cell phone and turn its microphone into a listening device that transmits to an FBI listening post, a method known as a "roving bug." Experts say the only way to defeat it is to remove the cell phone battery. "The FBI can access cell phones and modify them remotely without ever having to physically handle them," James Atkinson, a counterintelligence security consultant, told ABC News.

Senators Rap FBI Over Domestic Spying Program, Director's Refusal to Show It's Working

WASHINGTON - Senators frustrated by scant details on the Bush administration's domestic eavesdropping program on Wednesday rapped FBI Director Robert Mueller for refusing to show how it has curbed terrorist activity in the United States. Mueller said he was unable to talk about the warrantless spying program because it is classified. "What assurances can you provide that the program is worthwhile?" asked Senate Judiciary Chairman Arlen Specter, R-Pa. "Have arrests been made? Have terror cells been broken?" The FBI has briefed congressional intelligence committees on the controversial program, but Mueller said he did not have permission to share that information ...

CQ HOMELAND SECURITY – SpyTalk Dec. 1, 2006 – 8:25 p.m. Fine Print in Defense Bill Opens Door to Martial Law By Jeff Stein, CQ National Security Editor It’s amazing what you can find if you turn over a few rocks in the anti-terrorism legislation Congress approved during the election season. Take, for example, the John W. Warner Defense Authorization Act of 2006, named for the longtime Armed Services Committee chairman from Virginia. Signed by President Bush on Oct. 17, the law (PL 109-364) has a provocative provision called “Use of the Armed Forces in Major Public Emergencies.” The thrust of it seems to be about giving the federal government a far stronger ...

Sowing the Seeds of Destruction: Gunnar Myrdal’s Assault on America Jared Taylor, American Renaissance, April 1996 An American Dilemma, written by the Swedish economist, Gunnar Myrdal, is unquestionably the most influential book ever written about race relations in America. Published in 1944, this 1,400-page treatment of “the Negro problem” went through 25 printings—an astonishing record for a heavily academic work—before it went into a second, “twentieth anniversary” edition in 1962. It influenced presidential commissions and Supreme Court decisions, and established rules for public discussion about race that endure to this day. More than any other ...
KBR’s Violations Run Deeper, Wider

With millions of dollars in alleged contract abuse, former Halliburton subsidiary KBR has become a symbol of the rampant corporate fraud driven by the Iraq war. But a settlement announced last week by the US Justice Department reveals that KBR's malfeasance began long before "shock and awe" hit Baghdad. The Department of Justice (DoJ) announced Wednesday that it had reached an $8 million settlement with KBR over allegations that the company overcharged the US Army for support services provided during operations in the Balkans in 1999 and 2000. According to a DoJ statement, KBR continues to provide services to the military in the region. The Justice Department would not ...

George Bush has done some iffy things since seizing power, but the one that really hit me where I live was ruining Billy Wilder's Stalag 17. If you're not into old movies, you should know that Stalag 17 is a cynical, fast-talking dark comedy set in a prisoner of war camp, kind of a cross between Grand Illusion and His Girl Friday. Of course, if you're not into old movies, knowing it's a cross between Grand Illusion and His Girl Friday probably didn't help much. Let me start again... Stalag 17 was a play written by two guys, Donald Bevan and Edmund Trzcinski, who had been actual prisoners at an actual place called Stalag 17 in actual Austria during World War Two. ...

Parents get mass truancy warning By JANNINE TEMPLEMAN templej@phillynews.com 215-854-2592 Tamika Veal walked out of the Liacouras Center last night frustrated. "Single parents are working and cannot be behind their children all of the time," the South Philly native said. "I can drop my son off at the door, but that doesn't mean he's going to stay at school." Veal was among 6,000 parents and students summoned to the Temple University arena by Mayor Street and the school district because the children had eight or more unexcused absences during the 2005-06 school year. All were warned to be there or be prosecuted. "I got a letter in the mail saying I had ...

El-Masri v. Tenet: ACLU Fact Sheet on "Air CIA" Photo by Josep ManchadoThis photo of the Boeing 737 jet used in the CIA kidnapping of Khaled El-Masri was taken in Mallorca, Spain on January 23, 2004. The plane was used later that day to transport El-Masri from Macedonia to Afghanistan. In legal papers challenging the illegal CIA kidnapping of German national Khaled El-Masri, the ACLU has named as defendants the owners and operators of a Boeing 737 airplane that was leased by U.S. government agents and used to transport El-Masri from Macedonia to Afghanistan and then Albania. According to the ACLU's legal complaint in El Masri v. Tenet, the U.S.-based, private aviation ...

Terrorist case against Denver family endedBy Bruce Finley Denver Post Staff Writer 11/30/06 "Denver Post " -- -- -A federal judge on Wednesday declared the end of the government's four-year case against a Denver Pakistani-American family once targeted by the FBI as terrorists. Family members whose lives were turned upside down simply wept. "We've lost everything," longtime Colorado restaurateur Abdul Qayyum said. Chief U.S. District Judge Lewis Babcock accepted plea deals with federal prosecutors who dropped and reduced immigration charges they pursued after their terrorism case fizzled against Qayyum, his daughter Saima Saima, wife Chris Warren and nephew ...
