Bill would unlock tightlipped witnesses 06/01/2005 Associated Press Criminals have the right to remain silent, but a bill sponsored by two retired detectives would require witnesses to talk. House Rep. Jeff Barker, D-Aloha, said the impetus for the legislation was the murder of a Portland girl last year. None of the witnesses would speak when police arrived to investigate. The bill, which passed the House 39-20 on Tuesday and now goes to the Senate, would make it an infraction to "fail to identify" oneself, and would allow police to take suspected witnesses into custody if they don't supply their names. The reluctant witness could be photographed and fingerprinted at the ...

Galloway Wary Of Staged Terror Attack As Pretext For Iran Invasion Prison Planet | June 1 2005 George Galloway made worldwide headlines on May 17th when he appeared in front of a Senate committee on investigations, after its members accused him of profiteering from Saddam Hussein's regime by receiving vouchers for oil, despite the fact that such allegations against Galloway had already been proven to be based on forged documents. Galloway did what no American on Capitol Hill could, he told the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Galloway turned the tables and put the entire US establishment on trial for arming Saddam, imposing genocidal sanctions which killed a million ...

CHICAGO -- A white supremacist convicted of soliciting the murder of federal Judge Joan Humphrey Lefkow was ordered along with his followers to pay about $450,000 in attorneys' fees in a copyright case in which the judge sided against him. U.S. District Judge Samuel Der-Yeghiayan set the amount in an order made public late Monday in a civil lawsuit filed against a group formerly known as the World Church of the Creator. The group, headed by white supremacist Matthew Hale, was sued in federal court by an Oregon religious organization, the TE-TA-MA Truth Foundation-Family of Uri, which claimed it owned the copyright on the name World Church of the Creator. The Oregon foundation has ...

Some of the information that the White House has refused to provide to Congress for its review of the nomination of John Bolton includes the names of American companies mentioned in intelligence reports on commerce with China and other countries covered by export restrictions, say government officials who have been briefed on the documents. It had previously been reported only that the White House was refusing to hand over the names of 19 American persons mentioned in 10 intelligence reports by the National Security Agency. The fact that the documents also included the names of American companies, and that the subject had to do with possible violations of American export restrictions, ...

FEC treads into sticky web of political blogs By Dawn Withers Washington Bureau Tue May 31, 9:40 AM ET Web loggers, who pride themselves on freewheeling political activism, might face new federal rules on candidate endorsements, online fundraising and political ads, though bloggers who don't take money from political groups would not be affected. Draft rules from the Federal Election Commission, which enforces campaign finance laws, would require that paid political advertisements on the Internet declare who funded the ad, as television spots do. Similar disclaimers would be placed on political Web sites, as well as on e-mails sent to people on purchased lists containing more than 500 ...

A Woodbridge man was sentenced to life in prison yesterday after admitting that he beat a marijuana dealer to death in the Fairfax area in January 2003, then shot and wounded another drug dealer in Merrifield later that month. During the hearing in U.S. District Court in Alexandria, Milton P. Jurado, 21, also agreed to testify against three co-defendants in his federal conspiracy trial, and prosecutors in turn agreed to try to place Jurado in the witness protection program. In addition to the federal charges, Jurado's cooperation could lead to capital murder charges in Fairfax County against co-defendants Nick Halteh, Joshua Fritter and Pierre Alvarez.

Abraham Foxman is “going to war - and he’s going to enlist American Jews as his foot soldiers."The late Israel Shahak, one of the foremost figures in the struggle for justice for the Palestinians, used to frequently remind the readers of his translations from the Hebrew press, that “history is important.” In that spirit, and in consideration of the recent emergency vote by the Teachers’ Union in Britain to rescind its resolution boycotting Haifa and Bar Ilan universities, I am sending the following article from the Middle East Labor Bulletin which reported a similar action taken by the American Library Association in 1993 that overturned an earlier resolution ...

washingtonpost.com France rejects EU treaty, Europe faces crisis By Timothy Heritage Reuters Sunday, May 29, 2005; 5:32 PM PARIS (Reuters) - France overwhelmingly rejected the European Union's constitution in a referendum on Sunday, plunging the EU into crisis and dealing a potentially fatal blow to a charter designed to make the enlarged bloc run smoothly. President Jacques Chirac swiftly conceded defeat in an address to the nation as the "No" camp celebrated projections by polling groups showing about 55 percent of voters opposed the EU's first constitution. Chirac, 72, said the defeat, which EU leaders fear could stall European integration, weakened France in the 25-member ...

Reputed drug kingpin Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman has launched a bloody offensive to control drug smuggling along the entire U.S.-Mexico border, Attorney General Daniel Cabeza de Vaca said today. Mexico's top law enforcement official said Guzman was behind a wave of violence that has killed hundreds of suspected smugglers, hit men, police, soldiers and civilians along the 2,000-mile border. "Definitely, he is the most active man in his group. He is trying to fight for the border corridors, trying to control places like Culiacan just like the rest of the ...

No Sense of Real History Al Benson Jr. It is no secret among those who understand the rationale for government schooling that the teaching of real American history (and probably that of some other countries also) is not something that has a real high priority. In fact, in most cases, what passes for "history" today in government schools is little more than politically correct propaganda. One of the most important and critical periods of our history is that period embracing the War of Northern Aggression, the real reasons for it, and the horrendous period following it which was euphemistically labeled as "reconstruction." For our youngsters to correctly interpret and ...

Does the Federal Government have the Constitutional Authority to the Abrogate the Right to Keep and Bear Arms Through a Treaty? Robert Greenslade I recently received an email from a reader concerning the right to keep and bear arms. This individual had come across a commentary that claimed the federal government has the constitutional authority to use its treaty power to abrogate the individual right to keep and bear arms. Since the debate over firearms ownership usually focuses on the intent and wording of the Second Amendment, this topic is rarely discussed. The claim that the right to own a firearm can be abrogated through a treaty is based on the erroneous belief that federal ...

5-27-5 One of our neighbors is moving. I've been in this neighborhood for about six years now, but didn't really know them very well at all - just waves and nods, mostly. So I heard the moving van pull up this morning. When I got home this evening I happened to spy my neighbor (he's like 85 years old - I don't know exactly, but he's old, talks and moves very slowly) standing on the sidewalk next to the van. I walked over and shook his hand, and we started talking. I asked him where he was moving, and he said, "Back to Germany." I had been stationed in Germany for two years while in the military, so I lit up, and commented about how beautiful the country was, and inquired if he ...
Drama students learn tough lesson: Dubya's no joke

WOODLAND HILLS -- A doctored poster of President George W. Bush -- sporting Groucho Marx's dark eyebrows, mustache and stogie -- was supposed to promote a high school play. But for award-winning drama students at El Camino Real High School, it turned out to be a stark lesson in free speech. The poster was close, but no cigar. After one student complained last week, school officials ordered a hundred of the posters ripped from the Woodland Hills campus on grounds they promoted smoking and political preference. "There's an issue in the first (poster) regarding the smoking and endorsing one ideology over another," said Principal Kenny Lee, who had the posters removed. ...

The United States wants Britain's proposed identity cards to have the same microchip and technology as the ones used on American documents. The aim of getting the same microchip is to ensure compatability in screening terrorist suspects. But it will also mean that information contained in the British cards can be accessed across the Atlantic. Michael Chertoff, the newly appointed US Secretary for Homeland Security, has already had talks with the Home Secretary, Charles Clarke, and the Transport Secretary, Alistair Darling, to discuss the matter. Mr Chertoff said yesterday that it was vital to seek compatibility, holding up the example of the "video war" of 25 years ago, when ...

A copy of the actual DOJ complaint against SAPF can be found at this website: http://www.usdoj.gov/tax/KotmairComplaint.pdf There are a great many problems I see with the complaint. Basically there are a great many mischaracterizations and items taken out of context. A few items are basically correct, but which are perfectly legal. There is also the matter of their attempts to find fault with SAPF operations which were already dismissed with prejudice in 1996. Again, this complaint is civil in nature and not criminal, so they are not alleging any crime is being committed. Since complaints can be modified, I'll refrain from offering any commentary on specific defects for the time being. ...

About 15 public-access advocates were on hand for Thursday's ceremonial opening of the walkway to the beach. They sipped champagne outside the record producer's property on Pacific Coast Highway as dolphins frolicked a few yards offshore. "The ability to enjoy these dolphins and get in the sand is the right of everybody," said Sara Wan, a member of the state's Coastal Commission. "The public owns this beach. The public has a right to get to this beach." Activists toasted the opening of a ...

Refuses to turn over list of users who checked out bin Laden book A librarian in Washington state stood up to the FBI after it demanded internal patron information – and she won. Joan Airoldi, director of the library district in Whatcom County, Wash., between Seattle and Bellingham, told her story in an op-ed piece in USA Today. "It was a moment that librarians had been dreading," Airoldi writes in the opening of her column. She explains that in June, an FBI agent stopped into one of the district's branches and requested a list of people who had borrowed a biography of Osama bin Laden. "We said no," Airoldi wrote. "We did not take this step lightly. ...

Father appeals order in divorce decree that prevents couple from exposing son to Wicca.An Indianapolis father is appealing a Marion County judge's unusual order that prohibits him and his ex-wife from exposing their child to "non-mainstream religious beliefs and rituals." The parents practice Wicca, a contemporary pagan religion that emphasizes a balance in nature and reverence for the earth. Cale J. Bradford, chief judge of the Marion Superior Court, kept the unusual provision in the couple's divorce decree last year over their fierce objections, court records show. The order does not define a mainstream religion. Bradford refused to remove the provision after the 9-year-old ...
