Prosecutors seek OK to create phony files

Florida's prosecutors are floating a proposal to the Legislature to give them the power to secretly falsify public court records -- with a judge's approval -- for undercover law enforcement purposes. Spurred by Miami-Dade State Attorney Katherine Fernández Rundle, the draft bill would limit the authority to manufacture and plant fake documents in court files to 180 days. But it also provides for an unlimited number of 30-day extensions. ''Judges would be very involved in the monitoring. It all has to go through a judge,'' said Arthur I. ''Buddy'' Jacobs, general counsel for the Florida Prosecuting Attorneys Association, which supports the ...
Shut Up, Nancy Pelosi!

For one who has worked feverishly to prove that the "best man for the job of Speaker is a woman," Speaker Nancy Pelosi has shown herself to be a hysterical squaller and unequal to the challenge when confronted by big, bad Republican men in Washington, D.C. At issue were comments made by Vice President Dick Cheney in which the Veep administered a badly needed dose of truth serum to the clueless Pelosi. "I think if we were to do what Speaker Pelosi and Congressman Murtha are suggesting, all we will do is validate the al-Qaida strategy," the vice president told ABC News. "The al-Qaida strategy is to break the will of the American people ... try to persuade us to ...
MIG turns US tollroads to gold

PROFITS were expected to keep rolling in for international tollroad operator Macquarie Infrastructure Group, as it capitalised on exposure to the growing US market. The group today announced a half year net profit of $1.44 billion, up 76 per cent on the previous first half, while also predicting double digit earnings growth over the next twelve months. This would be largely driven by the US tollroad sector, said chief executive Stephen Allen. "We have been very clear that we see much of the growth in the tollroad sector coming from the United States,'' Mr Allen said. "Private investment represents a practical response for US legislators to the significant issues ...

Salt Lake City attorney Jesse Trentadue dropped more bombshells on the U.S. government's involvement in the Oklahoma City bombing and its cover-up today, including the revelation that Timothy McVeigh's co-conspirator Terry Nichols was gagged from talking to the media years ago by John Ashcroft, in an attempt to silence Nichols from exposing the men who were directing McVeigh's attack on the Alfred P. Murrah building. Trentadue joined talk show host Alex Jones to discuss Terry Nichols' declaration that Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh was being directed by a high-level FBI agent. The filing was quickly sealed by a Utah district court, but not before the Deseret Morning ...

Radical proposals to reunite Anglicans with the Roman Catholic Church under the leadership of the Pope are to be published this year, The Times has learnt. The proposals have been agreed by senior bishops of both churches. In a 42-page statement prepared by an international commission of both churches, Anglicans and Roman Catholics are urged to explore how they might reunite under the Pope. The statement, leaked to The Times, is being considered by the Vatican, where Catholic bishops are preparing a formal response. It comes as the archbishops who lead the 38 provinces of the Anglican Communion meet in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, in an attempt to avoid schism over gay ordination and other ...

In this particular case, she told WND, the man was approaching and he "looked very shaken, looked like he was in a daze." She approached him as close as she could, since sidewalk counselors are not permitted on abortion business property, and the man already was approaching the door. "I explained the induction of labor medication doesn't do anything to harm the infant, that there was still time to change their minds," she told WND. "He said, 'You don't understand. This is my baby.' And he lifted up the bag that he had in his hands, a white trash bag, kind of clean and brand new, with something that was wrapped in the bottom. It could have been a ...
'NY Post': Those Who Oppose 'Surge' in Congress Are Guilty of 'Treason'

"TREASON" screamed the front page of the New York Post today, in reaction to Friday's vote in the House of Representatives which easily passed a nonbinding resolution opposing President Bush's troop surge in Iraq. Seventeen Republicans joined the Democrats in that vote. The Post's Ralph Peters caleld it "the most disgraceful congressional action since the Democratic Party united to defend slavery"-- roughly 150 years ago. Peters charged, "Providing aid and comfort to the enemy in wartime is treason. It's not 'just politics.' It's treason.... "The vote was a huge morale booster for al Qaeda, for Iraq's Sunni insurgents, and for ...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, the early front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination, has called for a 90-day deadline to start pulling American troops from Iraq. Clinton, the wife of former President Bill Clinton, has been criticized by some Democrats for supporting authorization of the war in 2002 and for not renouncing her vote as she seeks the U.S. presidency in next year's election. "Now it's time to say the redeployment should start in 90 days or the Congress will revoke authorization for this war," the New York senator said in a video on her campaign Web site, repeating a point included in a bill she introduced on Friday. ...

A new federal court decision in the case of the Philadelphia Eleven could send Christians' free speech rights another step towards extinction, according to group members who have been told police officers had a right to silence their biblical messages at a public homosexual festival. The decision came in a civil rights lawsuit brought by members of that team, including Repent America director Michael Marcavage, who sued the city and a homosexual-festival sponsor after group members were cleared of criminal charges for their actions at the 2004 "Gay Pride" public street festival in the downtown area. U.S. District Judge Lawrence Stengel dismissed their civil rights claim, ...

A lesbian activist who runs the weblog "Pam's House Blend" has banned one of the people who posts on her site after the comments there, which often are bizarre and hateful, suddenly shifted to what could have been perceived as criminally violent recently. The postings on "House Blend" targeted Peter LaBarbera, the president of the pro-family Americans for Truth, which works to publish a message of hope for those caught in the homosexual lifestyle. The column posted LaBarbera's home address in a thread titled, "Saturday this and that," and a short time later, a poster identified as "Barry G. Wick" said, "It's across from a park in an ...

Freelance videographer Josh Wolf in July defied a federal grand jury's order to hand over raw footage of anarchists clashing with police in San Francisco. He said he was protected by the 1st Amendment. A federal judge said he was in contempt of court. On Aug. 1, the 24-year-old blogger reported to the federal detention facility in Dublin, Calif. and has been there ever since — except for a brief period in September. As of Tuesday, he had been incarcerated longer than any journalist in modern U.S. history. Wolf's mother, a third-grade teacher from Wrightwood, will be on Capitol Hill Thursday to lobby members of Congress to help free her son. Liz Wolf-Spada also plans to ...

NewsChannel 4 reported that Sen. Carl Kruger is proposing the ban in response to two recent pedestrian deaths in his district, including a 23-year-old man who was struck and killed last month while listening to his iPod on Avenue T and East 71st Street In Bergen Beach. "While people are tuning into their iPods and cell phones, they're tuning out the world around them," Kruger said. The proposed law would make talking on cell phones ...

Critics charge that the Macquarie purchase of American Consolidated Media is designed to silence critics of a Texas toll road project. Trans Texas CorridorAustralian toll road giant Macquarie agreed Wednesday to purchase forty local newspapers, primarily in Texas and Oklahoma, for $80 million. Macquarie Bank is Australia's largest capital raising firm and has invested billions in purchasing roads in the US, Canada and UK. Most recently the company joined with Cintra Concesiones of Spain in a controversial 75-year lease of the 157-mile Indiana Toll Road.

The fix may have been in on Barack Obama's opposition as state senator to Illinois' Born Alive Infant Protection Act, aka support of infanticide. I've always wondered what compelled Obama not to just vote against Born Alive but attempt single-handedly to thwart its passage, not once, not twice, but three times. In 2001 and 2002, Obama was the lone senator speaking against Born Alive on the Senate floor. In 2003, Obama killed the bill altogether by burying it alive in a committee he chaired. I asked former state Sen. Patrick O'Malley why he thought Obama went so far. O'Malley introduced Born Alive and served with Obama on the Judiciary Committee both years the bill was ...

Barack Obama has set America on fire by announcing the formation of an exploratory committee to study a possible presidential bid. The senator from Illinois said he will announce his final decision on Feb. 10. While the Mainstream Media and most liberals are thrilled at the prospects of an Obama in the White House, there are those who are not exactly infatuated by this turn of events. The most obvious dissenters would be the Clintons, Hillary Rodham Clinton, and William Jefferson Clinton. Hillary is not amused by the Obama candidacy because of her own designs on 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. With just two years to go until January 20, 2009, Hillary was ready to sublet contracts for ...

Post your local severe winter weather newz on this thread. I'll start off... Southern Missouri: we're in the midst of the worst ice storm from around five years though the oldtimers claim it's thirty. Trees are loaded with ice, and limbs are coming down every minute. We also got a dusting of sleet today, but the roads are still in fair condition...the road's surfaces, that is. I had to chainsaw my way to highway 86 this morning, down the farm roads. All the neighbor's fences are in a mess. This morning a limb crashed down on my horse pasture gate, and the horses broke out and headed for the hillls. I managed to whistle them back before they hit the timber, though it ...

Sweaters, jackets, gloves, ear muffs, headscarves, and windbreakers come, at least partially, from animals butchered by right-wing capitalists. So they are out! What, then, is one to do? How about praying for a good blast of global warming right about now? To a non-denominational, non-offensive god, of ...
Texas Congressman Ron Paul files for GOP presidential bid

HOUSTON -- Ron Paul, the iconoclastic nine-term congressman from southeast Texas, took the first step Thursday toward launching a second presidential bid in 2008, this time as a Republican. Paul filed incorporation papers in Texas on Thursday to create a presidential exploratory committee that allows him and his supporters to collect money on behalf of his bid. This will be Paul's second try for the White House; he was the Libertarian nominee for president in 1988. Kent Snyder, the chairman of Paul's exploratory committee and a former staffer on Paul's Libertarian campaign, said the congressman knows he's a long shot. "There's no question that it's an uphill ...

In one of his finest speeches in recent memory, President Bush announced a new plan for fighting the war on terror in the Iraqi theater. The president appeared sincere, contrite for past failures, and firmly committed to winning the war. Although the president announced the deployment of more than 20,000 additional U.S. troops to fortify Baghdad, he made it abundantly clear that the new commitment is not open-ended, and that the Iraqi government has been so advised. Iraq will be required to meet several performance measurements, both military and economic, to secure the nation and to end the sectarian violence that has ripped the fledgling democracy to pieces for far too long. ...
