Claims US arguments 'falsely constructed' The hacker at the centre of an extradition storm after he broke into the US Military and NASA computer systems has said the charges against him in the US have been manufactured to ease his extradition there. "For it to be extraditable under their computer laws in America you have to have caused $5,000 worth of damage and lo and behold they say that every computer I was on I caused exactly $5,000 worth of damage so it is patently a falsely structured argument," Gary McKinnon told OUT-LAW. McKinnon makes the claims in OUT-LAW Radio, a new weekly podcast from OUT-LAW launched today. Home Secretary John Reid signed McKinnon's order for ...

Bloomberg: New York City Will Collapse Without Illegal Immigrants Fox News July 5, 2006 PHILADELPHIA — The economy of the country's largest city and the entire nation would collapse if illegal immigrants were deported en masse, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg told a Senate committee hearing Wednesday. New York City is home to more than 3 million immigrants, and a half-million of them came to this country illegally, Bloomberg testified. "Although they broke the law by illegally crossing our borders ... our city's economy would be a shell of itself had they not, and it would collapse if they were deported," he said. "The same holds true for the nation." The ...

Rove blasts warrantless wiretapping decision Thursday, August 24, 2006; Posted: 11:54 a.m. EDT (15:54 GMT) TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) -- Presidential adviser Karl Rove criticized a federal judge's order for an immediate end to the government's warrantless surveillance program, saying Wednesday such a program might have prevented the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. Rove said the government should be free to listen if al Qaeda is calling someone within the U.S. "Imagine if we could have done that before 9/11. It might have been a different outcome," he said. U.S. District Judge Anna Diggs Taylor in Detroit last week became the first judge to strike down the National Security Agency's ...

Thu Aug 24, 2006 11:08am ET NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. authorities have arrested a New York man for broadcasting Hizbollah television station al-Manar, which has been designated a terrorist entity by the U.S. Treasury Department, prosecutors said on Thursday. Javed Iqbal, 42, was arrested on Wednesday because his Brooklyn-based company HDTV Ltd. was providing New York-area customers with the Hizbollah-operated channel, federal prosecutors said in a statement. It did not say how long Iqbal's company had been providing satellite broadcasts of al-Manar, which the U.S. Treasury Department in March had designated as Specially Designated Global Terrorist entity, making it a crime to conduct ...

1984 Realized: Bush Executive Order Will Bypass Media With Orwellian Broadcast System President Bush has issued an Executive Order which will allow him to utilize public and private communication infrastructure to directly communicate his ideas to America. The order creates the Emergency Alert System (EAS) which will replace existing alert systems, allowing the administration to "ensure that under all conditions the President can communicate with the American people". Mention of the existing "Emergency Broadcast System" will be replaced with the new term "Emergency Alert System". What this means is that George Bush, like "Big Brother" in Orwell's ...

Leaving The Fold WSFA 12 By Ashley Anderson August 23, 2006 John Giles is known for his position with the Christian Coalition and the group's public stance on various issues. But now it seems the Alabama chapter and the national organization are parting ways. Giles says, "It is a big step. You know today, for us is a sad day, but yet a liberating day." Liberating, he says because of a change of focus at the national level. Giles adds, "We feel the Christian Coalition of America is drifting to the left, rapidly drifting to the left." Giles says when the group organized in 1989 the founding tenants united Christians together ... and now he's afraid they're being ...

Aug. 21, 2006 -- More neo-con malfeasance surfaces in Europe -- three "suicides" getting another look and ransacking of a Socialist presidential candidate's home point to more Bush administration and neo-con dirty tricks. As the Bush-Cheney administration gears up for a planned military attack on Iran, there is renewed interest by European intelligence analysts in the July 17, 2003 reported "suicide" of British Ministry of Defense weapons of mass destruction (WMD) specialist and UN Iraq weapons inspector Dr. David Kelly. In what is widely believed to have been a Blair government cover-up, Lord Hutton, in his official report, concluded that Kelly committed suicide in a ...

Again....I Rant! We live in a nation where the government has, for decades, propagated policies which are not only contemptible to the ideals of Liberty, Freedom and the Rights of Man, but that are also intended to promote a system of extreme waste on a massive scale. This policy has, as its sole intent the necessity to restrain the population through a variety of agendas, programs, and unfortunately the idea of the need for conflict and war to create a society of massive waste. Although warfare has always been used as a tool for social change and controls, not until this century has warfare been used as a tool to implement a direct social order upon the people of nation and through that ...

Although we have been faced with dangers before, our Country has never been exposed to the type of dangerous men that are now within our own government…they have the guns, the technology and a seemingly never ending supply of fiat cash. Never before has this Nation’s Constitution been assaulted with such vigor and destructive determination as it is currently. Domestic traitors, in the guise of our own representatives, and agents of our own government, with insidious and malevolent intent, seek to corrupt and subvert this Nation and undermine the very foundations upon which this Nation was founded. Those within this Administration have cut asunder the obligations of their office ...

To those within the numerous political parties, those who still believe in the system, and the power of the vote, as it now stands, I give you this for your consideration: In this country we now live under what could be considered little more than a state of Contingent Freedom where we must either conform to the dictates of the government, through the myriad of its Acts, Regulations, and Laws or our Freedom is no longer valid. Our Freedom is now totally dependent upon our compliance to the set order of the government otherwise we will be restrained by the coercion of the government to comply. Those within government now use the form of the Constitution to validate their power and yet for ...

The inside story of US war cabinet at war London Times By Tim Reid November 23, 2002 Watergate writer Bob Woodward gained unrivalled access behind the scenes at the White House. DONALD RUMSFELD kept asking questions to hide the fact that a war plan for Afghanistan did not exist. Dick Cheney was obsessed with the threat of a chemical-biological attack. The head of the CIA was furious that he had never pushed Bill Clinton or George Bush for the authority to assassinate Osama bin Laden. And five days after September 11, the US Government’s War Cabinet was singing Old Man River while the President struggled with a giant jigsaw puzzle. Washington is abuzz with the latest book by Bob ...

ACLU v. NSA: An "Indepedent and Fearless Judiciary" Regular readers of the University of Chicago Law School Faculty Blog will not be surprised to learn that I applaud Judge Anna Diggs Taylor's August 17 decision declaring President Bush's NSA surveillance program unlawful. Judge Taylor ruled that the President's secret directive to the NSA to engage in warrantless electronic surveillance of telephone calls and emails involving American citizens on American soil violates both the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 and the Constitution. On several occasions, I have posted entries on this site arguing for those conclusions. Although I am confident Judge Taylor reached ...

We live in perilous times, of that there is no doubt, but the peril comes from within our government, more so than from a foreign threat. The Founding Fathers were well aware of the inclination of men in power to seek that power without restraint or limitation, for it is indeed the nature of power to corrupt the hearts and minds of men. Because of this, the Founding Fathers were keenly aware of the safeguards necessary to define restrictions upon all branches of our government. No one branch would be allowed to become independent of the other in order to fulfill its duties to the Citizens of this Nation. In addition to these restrictions, the Founding Fathers also depended on the outcry of ...

Taylor When President George Bush confidently told reporters Friday that a district court judge's ruling against his administration's secret wiretap program would be overturned, he wasn't just spinning. There is a good chance he is right. As much as it might pain those looking for something, anything, to use against the Bush administration's ever-increasing definition of executive power, U.S. District Judge Anna Diggs Taylor's opinion probably ain't it. There is a reason the Justice Department rushed to appeal this decision. ...

Eighth Circuit Appeals Court ruling says police may seize cash from motorists even in the absence of any evidence that a crime has been committed. US Court of Appeals, Eighth CircuitA federal appeals court ruled yesterday that if a motorist is carrying large sums of money, it is automatically subject to confiscation. In the case entitled, "United States of America v. $124,700 in U.S. Currency," the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit took that amount of cash away from Emiliano Gomez Gonzolez, a man with a "lack of significant criminal history" neither accused nor convicted of any crime.

Rules of polite Washington discourse Jonathan Turley (who, for those with the new law professor fetish, is one at George Washington University) puts his finger on why there is so much desire to focus on the "quality" of Judge Taylor's written opinion while all but ignoring the fact that a federal court just declared that the President of the United States has been repeatedly violating federal criminal laws, and still is: The far more difficult question is the implication of Taylor's ruling. If this court is upheld or other courts follow suit, it will leave us with a most unpleasant issue that Democrats and Republicans alike have sought to avoid. Here it is: If this program is ...

Pundits Renounce The President Among Conservative Voices, Discord By Peter Baker Washington Post Staff Writer Sunday, August 20, 2006; Page A04 For 10 minutes, the talk show host grilled his guests about whether "George Bush's mental weakness is damaging America's credibility at home and abroad." For 10 minutes, the caption across the bottom of the television screen read, "IS BUSH AN 'IDIOT'?" But the host was no liberal media elitist. It was Joe Scarborough, a former Republican congressman turned MSNBC political pundit. And his answer to the captioned question was hardly "no." While other presidents have been called stupid, Scarborough said: "I think ...

Flight 93 'was shot down' claims book Daily Mail by ROWLAND MORGAN 19th August 2006 The heart-thumping moment came when when passengers on board one of the hijacked 9/11 jets fought back against the ruthless fanatics hellbent on crashing the plane into the heart of America. Jumping out of their seats to a rallying cry of ‘Let’s roll!’, they charged towards the front of the Boeing 757 and began smashing down the cockpit door to reach the hijackers at the controls. Amid the desperate commotion, the plane rolled violently from right to left and pitched up and down as the rogue pilots tried to throw the passengers beyond the door off balance. As the struggle continued, the ...

American historian Thomas Fleming wrote an essay a few years ago that appeared in a book titled "What If?" The book contains a number of essays by prominent writers and historians speculating on how history might be altered had certain decisions and circumstances happened differently. Fleming analyzes 13 events that could have changed history during our War for Independence, resulting in a British victory and the premature end of our struggle for freedom from the British crown. Judging by the manner in which many 21st century American pundits have been clamoring for our country to jettison the Bill of Rights and adopt the British model — according to which the government can ...

That's the interesting thing about being president ... I don't feel like I owe anybody an explanation." Wrong, Mr. President. You and Vice President Cheney seem to have missed “Constitution 101.” And you seem to have laughed off admonitions against hiring lawyers eager to give an obsequious nihil obstat to whatever you want to do. You have allowed the likes of David Addington, Alberto Gonzales, John Yoo to do what Sen. Chuck Hagel (R, Nebraska) has accused you and your advisers of doing regarding ...

John Mark Karr, the suspect in the death of 6-year-old JonBenet Ramsey, sipped champagne and ate fried king prawns in business class Sunday after being put aboard a flight to Los Angeles to face charges in the United States. As Karr wined and dined in style and chatted with the three U.S. officials escorting him, another bombshell emerged: Reports that Karr sought treatment at a Thai sex-change clinic. His Thai Airways International flight took off about 8 p.m. (9 a.m. EDT) for the 15-hour flight to Los Angeles. Karr's journey will eventually end in Boulder, Colo., where he is expected to face charges of first-degree murder, kidnapping and child sexual assault in connection with the young ...

In 1968, Tax Protestor Gordon Kahl stopped filing IRS 1040 Income Tax Returns. For 9 years thereafter, the IRS ignored him, but in 1977 after Gordon Kahl spoke on an evening radio talk show regarding the illicitness of the income tax, some 250 phone calls would come into the radio station over the next two days; either supporting Kahl in some aspect, or pledging never to file another tax return. And with that, the IRS came down on Kahl like a ton of bricks. They quickly assembled a case against him and two weeks later threw a criminal prosecution against him for violating Title 26, Section 7203 ["Willful Failure to File"]. Gordon Kahl was a low-income farmer not even meeting ...
