Federal Researchers Tested AIDS Drugs on Foster Children Without Basic Advocate Protection By John Solomon Associated Press Writer Published: May 4, 2005 WASHINGTON (AP) - Government-funded researchers tested AIDS drugs on hundreds of foster children over the past two decades, often without providing them a basic protection afforded in federal law and required by some states, an Associated Press review has found. The research funded by the National Institutes of Health spanned the country. It was most widespread in the 1990s as foster care agencies sought treatments for their HIV-infected children that weren't yet available in the marketplace. The practice ensured that foster children - ...

Bush Administration Stepping Up Obscenity Prosecutions By Mark Sherman Associated Press Writer Published: May 4, 2005 WASHINGTON (AP) - Thomas Lambert made no attempt to hide the kind of videos he peddled from his Montana home - hard-core sex tapes involving bestiality, sadomasochism and simulated rape. The 65-year-old former schoolteacher had little reason to believe he could get in trouble. He was selling tapes to adults who wanted them and there had not been a federal obscenity prosecution in Montana in at least 16 years, according to his lawyer, Mark Errebo. But Lambert and co-defendant Sanford Wasserman were charged last spring with violating federal obscenity statutes. In pleading ...

Islamic leaders demand apology for 'hate-filled remarks' Posted: May 3, 2005 Evangelist Pat Robertson is in trouble with U.S. Islamic organizations for saying Muslims should not serve in the president's Cabinet or as judges. In an appearance on ABC's "This Week with George Stephanopoulos" Sunday, Robertson, who ran for president in 1988, said if were elected he would not appoint Muslims to his Cabinet and that he was not in favor of Muslims serving as judges. "They have said in the Quran there's a war against all the infidels," Robertson said. "Do you want somebody like that sitting as a judge? I wouldn't." The Washington-based Council on ...

Real-Life Courage Americans love to watch movies and read books about the "common man" standing up to the big, powerful bad guys. But how often does that happen in real life? Not often. Here is one "common man"--who is neither a man, nor is she common--putting herself in harm's way for what she believes. And she has one small favor to ask of you: pay attention.

Then they came for the children By Ted Rall May 3, 2005 They've vanished into the netherworld of a Homeland Security gulag and their story has already disappeared from the headlines, but the shocking case of two 16-year-old girls from New York City arrested a month ago ought to inspire outrage among every American worthy of the name. Since the government's reasons for the girls' imprisonment could apply to virtually any teenager, it should also spark fear. Like many rebellious teens, I fought with my mother. Local police, called to my home during at least one particularly impressive clash of wills and voices, talked us back into the land of the calmly reasonable. Then they left. Like ...

Arrested father had point to makeDisputed school's lesson on diversity By Maria Cramer and Ralph Ranalli, Globe Staff April 29, 2005 CONCORD -- For David Parker, the first alarm went off in January, when his 5-year-old son came home from his kindergarten class at Lexington's Joseph Estabrook School with a bag of books promoting diversity. Inside were books about foreign cultures and traditions, along with food recipes. There was also a copy of "Who's In a Family?" by Robert Skutch, which depicts different kinds of families, including same-sex couples raising children. The book's contents concerned Parker and prompted him to begin a series of e-mail exchanges with school ...

Home-school mom charged with allowing truancy BY JOHN D. HOMAN the southern MARION - Williamson County State's Attorney Charles Garnati is taking a tougher stance with parents who fail to follow established curriculum guidelines when home schooling their children. On Thursday, he announced at a press conference that he has charged Marion resident Kim Harris with permitting truancy, a Class C misdemeanor punishable up to 30 days in jail and a $500 fine. Harris is said to have willingly and knowingly allowed her 15-year-old son to be truant. Garnati stressed that he supports home-schooling in general, just not for parents who abuse the privilege. Some parents have allowed their children ...

Sunday, May 1, 2005 (05-01) 22:52 PDT WASHINGTON (AP) -- Former Attorney General John Ashcroft is starting a consulting company that will advise clients on homeland security, law enforcement and other issues involving business and government.

Dads want drug tests in schoolsParents will ask the Medford school board to study the idea By ANITA BURKE Mail Tribune A Medford dad wants to give kids a reason to say no to drugs. And he says random drug tests for students participating in extracurricular activities is the way to do it. Kevin Lamson, whose son attends North Medford High School, has rallied a group of parents and plans to ask the school board at its regular meeting Tuesday to consider a drug-testing policy that would randomly test kids who play sports, participate in activities or get school parking permits. He also would like all parents to have the chance to enroll their children in the testing program, even if the ...
Ron Paul: Reconsidering the Patriot Act

May 2, 2005 When Congress passed the Patriot Act in the emotional aftermath of the September 11th terrorist attacks, a sunset provision was inserted in the bill that causes certain sections to expire at the end of 2005. But this begs the question: If these provisions are critical tools in the fight against terrorism, why revoke them after five years? Conversely, if these provisions violate civil liberties, why is it acceptable to suspend the Constitution for any amount of time? Congress is scheduled to review those sections this year, but there is little chance any portion of the Act will be allowed to lapse. If anything, many members of Congress are eager to expand federal police powers. ...

If a kite appears to be following you in La Plata, Md., it very well may be. The Charles County Sheriff's Office recently monitored a gathering of motorcycle riders by launching a remote-control aerial camera to watch for emergencies or troublemakers. An official said yesterday the battery-powered spy plane was launched as a test run and that he's not sure whether the agency will buy the craft — but the results were good. "I liked what I saw," said Lt. Chris Becker, the agency's commander of homeland security and intelligence. "A tactical operations team member could readily carry it in the trunk of his patrol car and assemble it in just minutes." Still, not ...

Jekyll Island "The matter of a uniform discount rate was discussed and settled at Jekyll Island."--Paul M. Warburg (1) On the night of November 22, 1910, a group of newspaper reporters stood disconsolately in the railway station at Hoboken, New Jersey. They had just watched a delegation of the nation’s leading financiers leave the station on a secret mission. It would be years before they discovered what that mission was, and even then they would not understand that the history of the United States underwent a drastic change after that night in Hoboken. The delegation had left in a sealed railway car, with blinds drawn, for an undisclosed destination. They were led by ...

When the Police Don't Take No for an Answer By Claire Wolfe The following is a "classic" Hardyville column, written with the assistance of Hardyville's elusive Lawyer X, that first appeared in 1999. Because of increasing abuses of the Fourth Amendment (abuses often sanctioned by the Supreme Court and Congress and targeting the innocent) it seems like a good idea to take another look at some of the ways we can protect ourselves against growing police-state tactics. I've updated all the links, made two or three changes, and added links to recent developments. Best of all, what X called "The FutureTech Solution" in 1999 is today's useful reality. Lawyer X, Hardyville's ...

Now that some conservatives are in a tizzy about federal judges, here is something for them to ponder: The liberals on the U.S. Supreme Court just took a stand in favor of gun-ownership rights, while the conservatives on the court took a stand against them. Go figure. At issue is the law Congress wrote that says a person convicted of a felony "in any court" may not own a firearm. A fellow from Pennsylvania was charged with perjury and with illegal ownership of two handguns because he had answered "no" to the felony-conviction question. Turns out he had served time in Japan for a weapons-law violation. So the question before the court was whether the phrase "in ...

Dawn hit nets illegal guns Saturday, April 30, 2005 By Ben Conery WATERBURY -- As most of Town Plot still slept Friday, a convoy of police vehicles jerked to a stop in front of the white three-family house at 919 Highland Ave. With helmets on and guns drawn, the police Emergency Response Team quickly filed out of two vans and moved quietly into the backyard. They broke through the door and raced to the second-floor apartment of Willie "Mookie" Foote Jr. Shouts and crashing could be heard from the street, where one officer stood with his gun trained on a second-story window. Police allege Foote, 37, made a threatening gesture before they shot him with a Taser electric-shock ...

NH AG's office threatens arrest over manicure Concord, NH, April 29, 2005 - Seacoast entrepreneur Mike Fisher doesn't look the part of a manicurist - or an outlaw. But he's about to become both. Invoking the patron saint of civil disobedience, Fisher plans to violate New Hampshire's cosmetology laws - right in front of the officials who enforce them. And representatives of Attorney General Kelly Ayotte have already threatened him with arrest. Fisher, 23, of Newmarket, says he is so exasperated with state regulations on small businesses that the time has come to simply flout them. His plan is to show up in front of the New Hampshire Board of Barbering, Cosmetology and Esthetics, a ...

I wonder whether liberal democracies do not follow an ordained trajectory into the muck, ripening like fruits, having their arteries harden, and falling, plop, to be eaten by birds and snails. (That was a two-animal medico-vegetative ballistic metaphor, not so much mixed as homogenized, almost colloidal. Patent applied for.) I note that the English-speaking countries are doing to themselves exactly what the United States is doing, and the Europeans, though better educated and more cultivated, follow. Maybe there is a pattern. Now, any time I refer to the United States as a democracy, I get mail, from people vaguely remembering high-school civics, who tell me that the US is not a democracy ...

Colleges altering courses, tapping into Homeland Security funds Cathy Lanier had to think like a terrorist and come up with a way to kill a few thousand people at a picnic in San Luis Rey. The virtual town in California, repeatedly cursed with smallpox epidemics, explosions and attacks on its nuclear power plant, is part of her new education: The commander of special operations for D.C. police is earning a master's degree in the fast-growing field of homeland security. Schools across the country are catering to such students as Lanier by revamping curricula and research as they try to keep pace with the changes brought on by the 2001 terrorist attacks and take advantage of a large pool of ...

Congress Pressed to Renew Library-Search Powers

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Congress must keep U.S. libraries from becoming terrorist "havens" by renewing legislation that allows authorities to seize library and bookstore records, Bush administration officials testified on Thursday. "Libraries should not be carved out as safe havens for terrorists and spies. We know for a fact that terrorists and spies use public libraries," said Ken Wainstein, U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia. Wainstein appeared before the House of Representatives subcommittee on crime, terrorism and homeland security to support the Bush administration's drive to renew provisions of the USA Patriot Act which have been sharply criticized by ...
CONSERVATISM DIED IN 1952 NO KNOWN HEIRS, PART I

True conservatism died at the 1952 Republican Convention. Sen. Robert Taft of Ohio had thrown his hat in the ring in his last attempt to gain the presidential nomination. It was to be the final defeat for Mr. Republican, as he had come to be known, in his quest for America's highest office. That convention gave its nomination to Dwight D. Eisenhower, the beloved World War II general who had led allied forces in Europe. In the interim, he had been president of Columbia University. Taft's swan song was also the last chance for any return to constitutional government. In the 1940s, he had become a leader of the loyal opposition to the demagogic snake oil of Franklin Delano Roosevelt and his ...

Dear Mr. Koppel, I just learned that you recently aired something regarding holding judges accountable. Sadly, I personally did not see that when it was aired. I am a 33 year veteran California licensed attorney, a former criminal prosecutor, and an ex-military brat. I am about as "patriotic" as one can get. On the other hand, this nation is seriously dysfunctional, it functions unconstitutionally, too many Americans are among the most uniformed, stupid, reckless, self-centered, egomaniacal, dangerous, fools who ever inhabited Earth. And too many journalists continue to pitch govt officials slow, underhanded, softball, questions, to the nation's detriment and to the American ...
