    Government’s Case Sputtering
    Schiff Facing Jail For Contempt
    The criminal tax trial of Irwin Schiff entered its fourth week Monday with a cantankerous Schiff apparently making significant headway in repelling the government’s prosecution witnesses who have testified thus far.

    October 4, 2005
    An angry groundswell has risen against the appointment of George W. Bush’s personal attorney to the US Supreme Court.
    One key question must be asked: as a Justice, would she soon be asked to rule on a conspiracy conviction against her present boss?
    In light of the new indictments against former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, the question may not be so far fetched.
    DeLay was originally indicted on charges of violating campaign finance law. His (…)

    Bellow are details of one of the most horrific incidents that took place at the U.S. Naval Base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, where American soldiers tortured and abused prisoners, whom they labeled enemy-combatants.
    Omar Deghayes is a British resident who has (…)

  • Padilla case and the dire consequences it holds for all Americans
    5 October 2005

    Train Wreck of the Week By Bob Chapman
    October 1 2005
    We are forced to speak again of the situation of Jose Padilla and the dire consequences it holds for all Americans. Padilla was taken into custody by federal agents on May 8, 2002, as part of the war on terrorism and held as a material witness. It is important to point out here that being held as a material witness is a ruse to incarcerate. We do not know if Mr. Padilla is innocent or guilty of anything and neither does the US (…)

    Monday, October 03, 2005 VIEWING TERRORISM THROUGH A DIFFERENT LENS By Jason Miller
    Remember in September of 2001, when the US President (appointed by Katherine Harris) dissembled to the American public about why the Middle Eastern "terrorists" hate America?
    In case you forgot, here is what he told us:

    5 October 2005

    Posted by Mark Kleiman on October 04, 2005 05:43 PM
    Jim VandeHei and Walter Pincus report that lawyers close to the Valerie Plame investigation (identified as lawyers for witnesses, but presumably those would be potential defendants) say that Patrick Fitzgerald is pointing toward conspiracy charges.
    "Many lawyers in the case have been skeptical that Fitzgerald has the evidence to prove a violation of the Intelligence Identities Protection Act, which is the complicated crime he first set (…)
