Hops

LINCOLN — Troubled times are brewing for beer fans. Prices are going up, and flavors are changing.

Hops, like the Liberty pellet hops shown above, are a minor but necessary ingredient in beer. Hops add aroma, help preserve the drink and add bitterness to offset the flavor of malt.
The price of India Pale Ale, the most popular beer from Thunderhead Brewery in Kearney, Neb., has jumped from $3.50 a pint to $6.

Third Stone Brown, the No. 1 brew of Empyrean Brewing in Lincoln, will increase in price from between $3.50 and $3.80 a pint, depending on the restaurant, to from $4 to $4.50.

22,000 died amid delayed Bayer drug recall: doctor

The lives of 22,000 patients could have been saved if U.S. regulators had been quicker to remove a Bayer AG drug used to stem bleeding during open heart surgery, according to a medical researcher interviewed by CBS Television's 60 Minutes program.

The drug Trasylol was withdrawn in November at the request of the FDA after an observational study linked the medicine to kidney failure requiring dialysis and increased death of those patients.

It had been given to as many as a third of all heart bypass patients in the United States at the height of its use over a period of many years, according to the report.

Doctors group backs marijuana for medical uses

A leading U.S. doctors group has endorsed using marijuana for medical purposes, urging the government to roll back a prohibition on using it to treat patients and supporting studies into its medical applications.

The American College of Physicians, the second-largest doctors group in the United States, issued a policy statement on medical marijuana this week after it was approved by its governing body, the group said on Friday.

The group cited evidence that marijuana is valuable in treating severe weight loss associated with AIDS, and nausea and vomiting associated with chemotherapy in cancer patients.

Prohibition Returns!

Teetotaling do-gooders attack your right to drink

The breath test revealed that Bolton's blood alcohol content (BAC) was 0.03 percent, a level a 120-pound woman could expect after drinking one glass of wine. It was well below the 0.08 percent limit that marks a driver as legally intoxicated in D.C. It was not low enough for the arresting officer, however. This middle-aged mother of two, who hadn't drunk to excess, who hadn't run a red light or run a stop, was arrested, handcuffed, and fingerprinted for an innocent mistake. She sat in a jail cell for hours and was finally released at 4:30 a.m. Bolton spent four court appearances and over $2,000 fighting a $400 ticket. She then spent a month fighting to get her license back after refusing to submit to the 12-week alcohol counseling program.

The arresting officer, inaptly named Dennis Fair, insists: "If you get behind the wheel of a car with any measurable amount of alcohol, you will be dealt with in D.C. We have zero tolerance....Anything above 0.01, we can arrest." Fair recognized that nearly everyone in D.C. was unaware of this zero tolerance policy. Still, he told The Washington Post, if "you don't know about it, then you're a victim of your own ignorance."

Fucking pigs sure are forgetful about who they work for.

Republican Delegate Resigns After Investigation

Sick fuck.

Reporting
Kathryn Brown
ANNAPOLIS, Md, (WJZ) ― There's scandal at the statehouse.

A state delegate, known as an advocate for children's rights, is the focus of a child pornography investigation after officers searched his Hagerstown home.

Kathryn Brown reports, Robert McKee is not facing any charges right now, but he has resigned his position as both a state delegate and as executive director of the Big Brothers Big Sisters Club of Washington County.

The fucking predators love to blatantly put themselves as close to our children as possible.

According to his online bio, he is very active in little league, junior basketball and is executive director of the Big Brothers Big Sisters Club of Washington County.

He has an adopted granddaughter through his work in the program.

In a statement, McKee calls the investigation "deeply embarrassing" adding he has entered treatment.

"My primary focus" he said, "is to get well and stay well."

Oh fuck you. Get well and stay well my fucking ass. You get fucking turned on by children! If you are serious about getting fucking well have a Rottweiler chew your fucking balls off and if that doesn't work jump of a fucking bridge. Fuck you.

A resolution: Abolish the income tax - The Boston Globe

A resolution: Abolish the income tax
Email|Print| Text size – + By Jeff Jacoby
Globe Columnist / December 30, 2007

ON ELECTION DAY five years ago, 885,683 Massachusetts citizens voted for a ballot measure to abolish the Massachusetts income tax - a 45 percent level of support that shocked the state's political establishment, which had expected the question to go down to ignominious defeat, not come within a few percentage points of passing. So when Libertarian leader Carla Howell launched a new effort to junk the income tax earlier this year, the powers that be made it clear that this time they would do everything they could to discredit it.
more stories like this

* Patrick wants to gradually cut corporate tax rate
* Patrick says he's open to ideas about how to spend casino money
* Governor Patrick's first year
* So who, exactly, voted for Putin?
* Patrick says eliminating state income tax would be irresponsible
*

In August, Howell's Committee for Small Government filed its updated ballot language, and Michael Widmer of the Massachusetts Taxpayers Foundation wasted no time pouring scorn on it. (Its name notwithstanding, the Taxpayers Foundation is a business lobby that often opposes broad-based tax relief.) Howell's proposal is "absolutely unreasonable," Widmer snorted. "Essentially she's trying to repeal the 20th century."

Undeterred, tax-repeal supporters collected 100,000 voter signatures on initiative petitions, well above the number required to move the measure forward. So Governor Deval Patrick is cranking up the rhetoric. He told the Associated Press last week that undoing the income tax is "just a dumb idea" that would utterly devastate Massachusetts.

"Patrick said he has lived in places with no taxes, including the time he spent in Darfur 30 years ago," AP's Steve LeBlanc reported. "He says there were also no bridges, no good roads, and no public safety there. 'Civilization costs something,' he said. 'If we could have something for nothing, which is the fiction that has been sold by the right for some time now, then we wouldn't have a $19 billion upkeep backlog for the roads and bridges.' "

If that is Patrick's best case for preserving inviolate the state income tax, maybe he shouldn't be tossing the word "dumb" around quite so freely.

To begin with, Massachusetts without a personal income tax would not be a "place with no taxes." It would be a place with corporate income taxes, sales taxes, property taxes, meals taxes, hotel taxes, excise taxes, workers' compensation taxes, estate taxes, capital gains taxes, gasoline taxes, cigarette taxes, wine and liquor taxes, motor vehicle taxes, and real estate transfer taxes, not to mention the taxes ("license fees") imposed on a vast array of professions and occupations. The $11 billion collected in personal income taxes accounts for only 40 percent of state revenue. Take that away and the government of Massachusetts still helps itself to more than $16 billion a year. That's not exactly "no taxes."

It's not exactly Darfur, either. What a shameless comparison. Even Patrick cannot possibly believe that the misery and horror of Darfur is caused by insufficient taxation. A ballot initiative to repeal the state income tax is not an invitation to choose between life as we know it today or a life of poverty, lawlessness, and war. To suggest that those are the stakes is both ridiculous and disgraceful.

"Civilization costs something," the governor says, echoing the 1904 dictum of Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.: "Taxes are the price we pay for civilized society."

Maybe so. But in Massachusetts lately, taxes are also the price we pay for Big Dig corruption, for larcenous public-employee pensions, for state-owned golf courses, and for wretched public schools. Higher taxes are no guarantee of a more civilized society.

As a matter of fact, when Holmes defended taxes as the price tag of civilization, there were no federal and state income taxes. Massachusetts didn't begin taxing incomes until 1916, which means that for most of its history, the Bay State survived - even thrived - without an income tax. As Howell's ballot proposal advances, the fearmongers will shrilly warn that voting yes will plunge us into the Dark Ages. Like all addicts, those hooked on high taxes are terrified by the prospect of giving up their drug. They cannot imagine how much better they will feel when they learn to live without it.

Eliminating the state income tax would reduce government spending by about $11 billion, shrinking the budget to its 1995 level. But that $11 billion would not be lost. It would be back in the private sector - back in the hands of the men and women who earned it, and who are far more likely to spend, invest, or donate it wisely than the bloated state bureaucracy it goes to now.

Nine states - Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming - have no income tax. In 2008, Massachusetts has another chance to make it 10. Last time, the repeal campaign came close. Next year, let's put it over the top.

Anyone else...

...think it's weird that The Armed Forces Institute of Pathology is suddenly so interested in Morgellons disease. This is a disease that has been more or less pooh poohed since it first started showing up.

Bay Area called hot spot for 'mystery' disease with sci-fi-like symptoms

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Kaiser Permanente Northern California are teaming up to investigate the straight-out-of-science-fiction syndrome whose symptoms include itching, biting and crawling sensations and filaments or fibers reported to emerge from the skin.

The Armed Forces Institute of Pathology also will assist with the study.

That is some heavy fucking research power for something that until recently was being dismissed as a mental problem.

You've got..

Kaiser Permanente

In order to contain costs, Kaiser requires agreement by planholders to submit patient malpractice claims to arbitration rather than litigating through the court system. This has triggered some discussion and dissent.[45] Some cases proceed to court and one argument is over whether the requirement to go through dispute resolution is enforceable[citation needed]

Kaiser has settled three cases for alleged patient dumping since 2002. During that same period, the Office of the Inspector General settled 102 cases against US Hospitals which resulted in a monetary payment to the agency.[49][50][51]

On November 16, 2006, Los Angeles city officials filed civil and criminal legal action against Kaiser Permanente for "patient dumping"--the delivery of homeless hospitalized patients to other agencies or organizations in order to avoid expensive medical care[citation needed]as reported by National Public Radio's All Things Considered.

The legal filings are intended to punish hospitals for releasing homeless hospital patients (often via taxis) on the sidewalk near relief shelters instead of accepting responsibility for releasing hospital patients into the care of a relative, or of a recognized agency.

The city's decision to charge Kaiser Permanente reportedly was influenced by security camera footage, allegedly showing a 63-year-old patient, dressed in hospital gown and slippers, wandering toward a mission on Skid Row, as outlined in a 20-page complaint. City officials say that as many as 10 other area hospitals are under investigation for possible future action for this practice.[52]

So pretty much when you are in need of inexpensive treatment you sign a waiver saying the hospital isn't responsible for the outcome and get treated. Just don't be fucking homeless or your ass will be dumped in front of the nearest shelter. Heart warming.

Next we have the CDC!

Bringing such hits as "Fluoride is good for you!" and "Thimerosol is Healthy!" and "The HPV Vaccine Won't Give you Cancer!" It's the government. Nuff said.

Last but not least and certainly the most disturbing we have The Armed Forces Institute of Pathology.

Again, the government but since when is this the jurisdiction of the Military? Unless of course, this is the control end of experiment. What good is experimenting on Americans if you can't collect the data? Well, it looks like they may be.

We have many traitors in our midst. History shows there is only one reason for a government to disarm it's law abiding citizens.

Since "unrestricted" private ownership of guns clearly threatens the public safety, the 2nd Amendment can be interpreted to allow a variety of gun restrictions, according to the Bush administration.

Paypal has frozen the fundraising account of the Granny Warriors, a Ron Paul supporters group who had been pushing for a recount in New Hampshire, causing a 3pm Tuesday deadline to be missed and the application rejected for lack of payment.

The Granny Warriors had raised the necessary $55,600 deposit for the recount but at the last minute before it was transferred to the New Hampshire Secretary of State, Paypal blocked access to the funds.

No explanation has been forthcoming from Paypal as to why the corporation froze the account.

Whenever shit like this happens I can't help but wonder whos's pulling the strings so I like to follow the money.

Paypal is owned by Ebay.

Ebay is a public company whose largest shareholder is Meg Whitman.

Whitman is known as a supporter of former Massachusetts' Republican governor Mitt Romney's presidential campaign[3][4] in 2008 and is now on his "National Finance Team".[5] She is also listed as Finance co-chair of Romney's campaign exploratory committee. [6]

The Times has seen a patent application filed by the company for a computer system that links workers to their computers via wireless sensors that measure their metabolism. The system would allow managers to monitor employees’ performance by measuring their heart rate, body temperature, movement, facial expression and blood pressure. Unions said they fear that employees could be dismissed on the basis of a computer’s assessment of their physiological state

People had better refuse to work under those conditions. Consider this a declaration from Microsoft that they are an enemy of the people. I need to figure out how to install Linux...

Holy Crap

Do U.S. pandemic plans threaten rights, ACLU asks - Yahoo! News

Holy crap. Is this what I think it is? Is this what Bush is going to use to declare martial law. This could be happening sooner than I thought and people will die. Of course I could be wrong, paranoid, crazy or a wonderful combination of three. That would be fucking wonderful.

"Rather than focusing on well-established measures for protecting the lives and health of Americans, policymakers have recently embraced an approach that views public health policy through the prism of national security and law enforcement," the ACLU report reads.

But the U.S. Health and Human Services Department (HHS) said the group had misunderstood the government's approach and said current plans already incorporate many of the ACLU's recommendations.

Jesus Christ what the fuck is to misunderstand? It either says what it says or it don't. It either says they'll be forced inoculations, evacuations, and quarantines or it don't!

The ACLU said it was worried that the plan called for military and police involvement in enforcing a quarantine.

Um, yeah. Me too.

The ACLU experts said they were especially disturbed by an October executive order from President George W. Bush that directed HHS to establish a task force to plan for potential catastrophes like a terrorist attack, pandemic influenza or a natural disaster that would ensure full use of Department of Defense resources.

Read that over and over again until it sinks in. Then read it a couple more times. The read this.

The Bush order does not specify what the Department of Defense role would be, but also mentions military medical research facilities that have played a role in health for decades.

Enjoy your experimental vaccine chock full of heavy metals courtesy of the mega pharmaceuticals. Don't worry, they care bout you.

The Bush order does not specify what the Department of Defense role would be, but also mentions military medical research facilities that have played a role in health for decades.

"Pandemic planning today tends to emphasize mandatory vaccination and forced treatment," the ACLU's Tania Simoncelli told a news conference.

If that doesn't scare the fuck out you read it a couple more times. Since when is the government in the business of our maintaining our health?

"It also means that sick people are being treated as criminals and enemies of the state rather than individuals in need of care."

Enjoy your FEMA cell. I ain't going.

The ACLU said plans should focus on how to help people stay home without losing pay, and instead of merely advising citizens to stockpile food, should provide for ways to help them do so.

Well, that would be fucking logical wouldn't it?

"They have mischaracterized our planning efforts. They are confusing a containment attempt as our overall pandemic response once the virus has spread beyond our ability to stop it," Hall said in a telephone interview.

Holy crap. That is classic Orwellian doublespeak. Are you sure you didn't dream our planning efforts comrade Clover? They are telling the ACLU it doesn't say what it says. The more you read about tyrannical governments the more you recognize that crap. And believe me, we've got one.

This could be bad.

Speaking of False Flag...

Court Overturns Nazi Verdict on Reichstag Arsonist

Germany's federal prosecutor has overturned the guilty verdict passed on Marinus van der Lubbe, the communist activist who claimed to have set fire to the Reichstag in 1933 to protest the Nazis' rising power.

Van der Lubbe, a Dutchman active in Germany's communist underground, was found guilty of treason and arson by the Reichsgericht, Germany's highest court at the time, and sentenced to death in December 1933. A month later, he was guillotined in a Leipzig prison yard, three days before his 25th birthday.

Inside the Reichstag following the fire in 1933Bildunterschrift: Großansicht des Bildes mit der Bildunterschrift: Hitler used the Reichstag fire to consolidate his power

The burning of the Reichstag became a pivotal event as the power of the Nazis grew, as they used it to incite fear about the threat of communism. Adolf Hitler persuaded President Paul von Hindenburg to sign a decree curtailing some civil liberties, paving the way for the suppression of thousands of communists and other groups targeted by the Nazis.

Legal ups and downs

After World War II, Van der Lubbe's brother attempted to have the verdict overturned, and had a short-lived success in 1980, when a West German court complied. Three years later, however, the Federal Court of Justice decided there had been no basis for re-examining the matter, and declared the West German court's decision illegal.

On Thursday though, the Federal Court, acting on a petition from a Berlin lawyer, lifted the death penalty verdict based on a 1998 law that makes it possible to overturn legal injustices perpetrated by the Nazis.

The acquittals of four other men tried alongside Van der Lubbe in 1933 remain in force, the prosecutor said.

How may people will we need to acquit?

Votes Not Counted

New Hampshire District Admits Ron Paul Votes Not Counted

I've been watching these reports. They pop up on Google news. The they are gone. Not counting votes in Sutton,NH should be big news and grounds for a recount. I know it's not going to make a huge difference for Paul but people should know the true count.

From One of My Favorite Blogs

No Looking Backwards

This Just In!!!

And, this time, I mean it.

I just got off the phone with a very reliable source who told me of a Massachusetts resident who drove up to Atkinson, NH (just over the MA/NH state line) yesterday, told a voting official there that he was "thinking of moving to New Hampshire", showed a Massachusetts driver's license, was handed a ballot, and was allowed to cast a vote in the New Hampshire primary.

This individual also stated that there was a significant number of cars at the polling location with Massachusetts license plates.

Begs the obvious question, exactly how many people from Massachusetts (and elsewhere) were given ballots in yesterday's election and allowed to vote?

Stay tuned.

UPDATE: Don't know if this will go anywhere. I was hoping to get an "official" statement from the aforementioned individual, but I just heard from my source that he (understandably) "doesn't want to get involved".

No matter who you support, it's undeniable that something stinks up in new Hampshire and it's more than just Hillary's hotel sheets.

Nice Driving Asshole

wbztv.com - Police Cruiser Crash Closes 93 South

Police Cruiser Crash Closes 93 South WOBURN (WBZ) ― The morning commute to Boston was brought to a halt Wednesday morning by a crash involving a Massachusetts State Police cruiser. The crash happened at around 7:50 Wednesday morning on Route 93 South just north of Route 128 in Woburn. The Trooper was apparently driving in the left lane and rear ended a white S.U.V. stopped in traffic. Luckily no one was hurt in the crash. At one point all 4 lanes of 93 South were closed and later the two left lanes of the highway were closed; causing a major traffic back up at the height of the morning rush hour. All lanes are now back open. Traffic was backed up along the other side of the highway as well as curious drivers slowed down to look at the accident scene.

What a fucking asshole. I wonder if he got a ticket.

Adam "Shill" Gadahn

Al-Qaida's American seeks Bush attacks

"Now we direct an urgent call to our militant brothers in Muslim Palestine and the Arab peninsula ... to be ready to receive the Crusader slayer Bush in his visit to Muslim Palestine and the Arab peninsula in the beginning of January and to receive him not with flowers or clapping but with bombs and booby-trapped vehicles," Gadahn, 29, said in Arabic.

"This just shows once again, al-Qaida offers nothing but violence and death," National Security Council spokesman Gordon Johndroe said. "The purpose of President Bush's trip is to meet with mainstream Arab leaders and people to talk about a positive future for the region, based on hope and opportunity."

Such a bad bogeyman!

Earlier this month, FBI spokesman Richard Kolko said the agency would review the latest tape for intelligence value and vowed never to give up the hunt for Gadahn.

Jeez. That sounds familiar.

So, this dude is obviously CIA, right?

Updated: Alex Jones agrees.

More here too.

What if?

What if this alleged "harassment" in the Persian Gulf was just the administrations way of testing our bullshit detectors? After all, there was no actual attack perpetrated by either side. No video or surveillance footage released.

What if this was thrown out to get a response from the thinkers, truthers, journalists, and conspiracy theorists?

What if after the alternative media and blog response they realize we ain't buying the same old shit torn from pages of the CIA false flag text book?

What if they now realize that they have to ratchet up to the next level?

What if they realize that nothing short of American civilian casualties is going to rally the American public the way it did on 9/11?

What if they realize that nothing less than dead babies and mommies on CNN and FOX is going to sway people.

It's scary shit and it's something to seriously think about.

What will Bush be willing to allow to sway opinion towards an attack on Iran?

Worth Reading

Fox News' Snub of Paul Could Trigger New Hampshire 'Blowback'

Pretty good read over at The Huffington Post

Blowback: The Costs and Consequences of American Empire is the title of a 2000 book by Chalmers Johnson. In a chapter called "Stealth Imperialism," Johnson begins by asserting that "present American policy is seeding resentments that are bound to breed attempts at revenge." By now, most Americans have heard this argument many times and in many different forms, and it appears to be sinking in. But apparently nobody had ever had the guts to say anything like that with Giuliani in earshot.

"I don't think I've ever heard that before, and I've heard some pretty absurd explanations for Sept. 11," he fumed at Paul. Maybe he didn't know it at the time, but there were a few little holes in his foot. And six months after stepping on a porcupine, Giuliani netted a whopping 4% in Iowa.

Ya think?

Bush Bullshit

Iranians threatened U.S. ships in Hormuz: Pentagon | Reuters

What a load of horse shit. Anyone who believes this shit needs to research the Gulf of Tonkin Incident and The Israeli attack on the USS Liberty. Do yourselves a favor and learn what a false flag operation looks like. This is textbook false flag. The official report FROM Iran is that they had NO ships in the area. It's probably the Mossad if it happened at all. It's amazing how little regard this administration has for our intelligence. Nothing like using the same page out of the text book over and over again.

"The ships received a radio call that was threatening in nature, to the effect that they were closing on our ships and ... the U.S. ships would explode," Cosgriff told reporters at the Pentagon via videolink from his Bahrain headquarters.

Could that possibly sound anymore hokey? Why didn't they just say they were yelling Allah Akhbar over the radio?

So, the Iranians were in their own part of the world in little itty biitty boats and we were far, far away from our part of the world in big, big boats and THEY are the ones who are dangerous? Give me fucking break.

So, were there surveillance tapes on the ship? Can we see them? Of course not.

Shopper pulls gun, stops robbery cold
Held suspect at grocery store until police officers arrived
Posted: January 2, 2008
5:00 p.m. Eastern

© 2008 WorldNetDaily.com

A grocery store customer in Indianapolis is being credited with halting an armed robbery by pulling his own weapon and pointing it at the assailant until police arrived.

According to a report in the Indianapolis Star, Charlie Merrell, 51, was in a checkout line at a grocery store called Bucks IGA on the city's south side when a "masked man jumped a nearby counter and held a gun on a store employee."

The police report cited by the newspaper said the incident happened at 5:17 in the afternoon Monday as Merrell was doing some year-end shopping.

"While the suspect was demanding cash from the workers," according to the police report, "Merrell pulled his own handgun, pointed it at the robber and ordered him to put down his weapon."

(Story continues below)

The newspaper noted that Officer Jason Bockting, in his documentation of the incident, said when the suspect seemed to hesitate, "Merrell racked the slide on his gun to load a round in the chamber."

At that point, the report said, "the suspect placed his gun and a bag of cash on the counter, dropping some of the money … the suspect removed his mask and lay on the floor."

Merrill, meanwhile, held the suspect at gunpoint until officers arrived and took him away in handcuffs.

Police reported Merrell had a valid permit to carry the handgun, and they recovered an unloaded .380-caliber handgun and $779 cash from the suspect.

Police records show Dwain Smith, 19, was being held in the Marion County Jail on a bond of $30,000 on initial charges of robbery, criminal confinement, pointing a firearm, battery and carrying a handgun without a license.

"It's the police! Police!" his sons yelled.

Botched Raid Terrorizes Minn. Family

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - With her six kids and husband tucked into bed, Yee Moua was watching TV in her living room just after midnight when she heard voices—faint at first, then louder. Then came the sound of a window shattering.

Moua bolted upstairs, where her husband, Vang Khang, grabbed his shotgun from a closet, knelt and fired a warning shot through his doorway as he heard footsteps coming up the stairs. He let loose with two more blasts. Twenty-two bullets were fired back at him, by the family's count.

Then things suddenly became clear.

"It's the police! Police!" his sons yelled.

Khang, a Hmong immigrant with shaky command of English, set down his gun, raised his hands and was soon on the ground, an officer's boot on his neck.

The gunmen, it turned out, were members of a police SWAT team that had raided the wrong address because of bad information from an informant—a mistake that some critics say happens all too frequently around the country and gets innocent people killed.

"I have six kids, and only one mistake almost took my kids' life," said Moua, 29. "We will never forget this."

No one was hurt in the raid Sunday, conducted by a task force that fights drugs and gangs, though two police officers were hit by the shotgun blasts and narrowly escaped injury because they were wearing bulletproof vests.

Police apologized to the family and placed the seven officers on leave while it investigates what went wrong.

Such mistakes are a fact of police work, some experts said.

"Does going to the wrong address happen from time to time? Yes," said John Gnagey, executive director of the National Tactical Officers Association in Doylestown, Pa. "Do you corroborate as best you can the information the informant gives you? Absolutely. But still from time to time mistakes are made."

One of the biggest botched raids in recent years happened in Atlanta in 2006, when police killed a 92-year-old woman in a hail of nearly 40 bullets after she fired a shot at what she thought were intruders. Police had gone to her house on a drug raid, but no drugs were found.

Prosecutors said that in obtaining a search warrant, Atlanta police falsely told a judge that an informant had confirmed drug dealing there. The scandal led to a shake-up in the department, two officers pleaded guilty to manslaughter and civil rights charges, and the city faces at least two lawsuits.

Reliable figures on the frequency of erroneous raids are hard to come by. Federal agencies, including the FBI and the U.S. Marshals Service, said they do not keep track.

A study last year by the libertarian Cato Institute said: "Because of shoddy police work, over-reliance on informants, and other problems, each year hundreds of raids are conducted on the wrong addresses, bringing unnecessary terror and frightening confrontation to people never suspected of a crime."

Gnagey disputed the organization's figures but wouldn't say whether he considered them too high or too low, and he had no estimate of his own.

"Going to the wrong home is an extreme rarity," said Mark Robbins, a law enforcement professor at Minnesota State University, Mankato. "It's just unfortunate that when it does, it often ends up in violent and even tragic incidents."

In the Minneapolis case, the nature of the tip and precisely what police were looking for were not disclosed; the search warrant has been sealed. And it was not clear how far off the mark the informant was in supplying the address.

No charges were brought against Khang, who lives in crime-ridden northeast Minneapolis. Khang used the shotgun for hunting, said his brother, Dao Khang. In Minnesota, no license is required to own a shotgun.

Khang, who speaks some English but used an interpreter during an interview, said he does not remember hearing any calls of "Police!" until his sons shouted. He said he would never knowingly shoot at officers.

"That's why I reacted the way I did, to protect my family and two sons," said Khang, 34, whose children are ages 3 to 15.

Lt. Amelia Huffman, a police spokeswoman, said the information in the search warrant came from a source who had been reliable in the past.

Huffman said officers who routinely work on drug and gang cases are trained to try to corroborate their information. As for why the process didn't work this time, "that's one of the things the internal investigation will go through in exhaustive detail," she said.

The Hmong are hill people from Laos who aided the CIA during the Vietnam War by fighting the Viet Cong. Hmong refugees began arriving in Minnesota in the late 1970s, and there are perhaps 60,000 Hmong in Minnesota today.

The Khang family is living with relatives until the house gets cleaned up. The raid left six windows broken and walls and ceilings pocked with pellet and bullet holes.

"The whole family is badly shaken and still trying to understand what happened," Moua said.

Transcript of Alleged al-Qaida Intercept

A transcript released by the Pakistani government Friday of a purported conversation between militant leader Baitullah Mehsud, who is referred to as Emir Sahib, and another man identified as a Maulvi Sahib, or Mr. Cleric. The government alleges the intercepted conversation proves al-Qaida was behind the assassination of Benazir Bhutto:

In true textbook government sponsored terrorism fashion, the inevitable Al-Quaeda admission of guilt conveniently intercepted.

Political Radar: Huckabee: U.S. Should Monitor Pakistanis Coming Into Country

ABC News' Kevin Chupka reports: During a press conference Thursday night in West Des Moines, Iowa, former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee suggested that after the assassination of former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, the United States should, "have an immediate, very clear monitoring of our border, and particularly to make sure, if there's any unusual activity of Pakistanis coming into the country. We just need to be very very thorough in looking at every aspect of our own security internally."

Here we go.

US attack on Pakistan?

So...

What if we had a hand in allowing Bhutto to be assassinated? And what if the administration was coming to terms with the fact that the American people will not stand for an attack on Iran. And what if we were to bump off Musharraf.

That would totally destabilize Pakistan.

Pakistan indisputably DOES have nuclear weapons.

Would the administration use Pakistan's state of chaos as an excuse to invade it? We could also argue that it would be an excellent opportunity to hunt for the bogeyman. (Bin Laden.)

Just saying.

The Terror Within

Having no time for our children. Letting the state raise them every day from the age of preschool. Someone else is feeding them their values and beliefs. Someone else is feeding their bodies with who knows what. Someone else is making their rules and deciding their fates. Someone else is explaining what the world is, what life is, who and what they are and worst of all what their value as a human being is. Those others may be nice people but they don't love our children, they're just doing their jobs. There's always the possibility that they aren't nice people. How would we know since we're never there? We find out when it's too late, if ever.

"There has been some debate over how 'imminent' a threat Iraq poses. I do believe that Iraq poses an imminent threat, but I also believe that after September 11, that question is increasingly outdated. It is in the nature of these weapons, and the way they are targeted against civilian populations, that documented capability and demonstrated intent may be the only warning we get. To insist on further evidence could put some of our fellow Americans at risk. Can we afford to take that chance? We cannot!"

Draconian

Scotsman.com News - International - Children caught kissing face jail

GERMANY is poised to bring in a draconian law tomorrow that will effectively outlaw kissing and cuddling between children under 17 in public places.

While experts acknowledge that the bill has good intentions, they fear it will deprive teens of a sexual rite of passage, through flirting and experimentation.

Broadly speaking, the law is aimed at the 14-17 age group, but some subclauses have far-reaching consequences. Parents who put a picture of their naked youngster in a bath or a paddling pool on the internet, for example, will leave themselves open to charges of disseminating child pornography.

But it is the attempt to regulate - in essence - the raging hormones of teenagers that strike many as bizarre and unworkable. Under the law, to go before the Bundestag tomorrow, a teenage boy up to the age of 17 who is caught "fondling or stroking the chest" of someone younger will be liable to prosecution - regardless of consent.

If he does it in a cinema and the girl complains, he will be deemed to have been guilty of planning the "assault" by paying for the cinema ticket to commit the act - crime aforethought.

Critics say Germany has gone more than two steps beyond European Union and United Nations' guidelines in introducing the law, claiming that it is copied from the United States. A 15-year-old girl in Pittsburgh faces a long jail term on a charge of distributing child pornography after sending nude pictures of herself over the internet to a friend.

"This is not something Germany should be copying," said Jürgen Grünewald, a child welfare consultant. "It seems pompous, heavy-handed and totally unworkable."

Lawyers see a minefield ahead: false claims from girls who were rebuffed by the school hunk at a disco or boys spurned by the class vamp. But Brigitte Zypries, the justice minister, said the younger generation needed to be protected as much from itself as from the bogeymen that parents insist lurk at every teenage party.

At present, the law stipulates that sexual abuse among minors occurs when the perpetrator is 18 and the victim is at least two years younger. This age disparity is being done away with under the new legislation. Wolfgang Neskovic, of the Left Party, said: "In a ridiculous way, we are trying to regulate the hormones and lifestyle of teenagers and criminalise that which has gone on since time immemorial."

Under the new law a 15-year-old who posts a picture of herself in a bikini on the internet would be guilty of disseminating a pornographic photograph. She could be punished by law - as would anyone who downloaded it, for whatever purpose.

Professional artists and writers would face up to three months in jail if they make "realistic descriptions of sex among young people" in magazines, films, books, newspapers or on the internet.

Andreas Hill, a Hamburg sex therapist, warned that the bill - which appears likely to be passed by the coalition right-left government in Germany - might release a "wave of useless procedures for an already overstretched police force to deal with, while the really relevant crimes in society go unsolved".

Officer Takes Action Against CBS4 After Story Airs

cbs4.com - Officer Takes Action Against CBS4 After Story Airs

by Jawan Strader

FT. LAUDERDALE (CBS4 News) ― After CBS4's Mike Kirsch aired a piece where several South Florida police officers were caught on camera intimidating would-be complainants against their police departments, one officer has taken action against the station in court.

Sergeant Peter Schumanich, of the Lauderhill Police Department, filed an injunction in a Broward County court to stop the airing of the story where he appears on the air and online.

Schumanich was caught on camera cursing and screaming at a member of a police watchdog group who went to his department asking to file a complaint against an unspecified officer. The officer was caught on camera literally chasing down the man out of the police station and off the block, after he did not act the way Schumanich wanted him to.
