"A Westchester County police officer who was injured while trying to stop New York Senator Hillary Clinton's van after it blew past an airport security checkpoint 16 days ago has yet to receive an apology from her or anyone on her staff."
"I can tell you, no," Officer Ernest Dymond told NewsMax.com Tuesday, when asked whether Mrs. Clinton had contacted him to express any concern over the injury that has rendered him unable to return to active duty for more than two weeks. |

The entire scenario is ludicrous, and it's offensive to any Floridian. Hush-hush discussions are a fact of life. John McKay and House Speaker Tom Feeney huddled behind closed doors to discuss multimillion-dollar taxcuts.Fastforward to some generic city council meeting during which members unanimously agree that they,must be allowed to meet in private to discuss terrorism. Can you imagine? Then again, we'd better not give the Miami City Commission any wild ideas.Where will the secrecy end?

"FARMER Tony Martin's murder conviction and life sentence for the shotgun killing of a teenage burglar were today reduced by the Court of Appeal to manslaughter and a five-year jail term."
"His 10-year sentence for wounding the burglar's accomplice was also cut to three years, to run concurrently."
"The ruling dashed hopes that Martin, who has served 18 months, would be freed immediately. But he will be eligible for release in about a year's time after serving half the new sentence." |

More than one in 10 adults would not report a murder they had witnessed because of lack of faith in the criminal justice system, a survey says.
The report also found that 59% would not call the police if they heard screaming from their neighbours and 70% would not report a street brawl.
Left-wing think-tank the Institute of Public Policy Research, which commissioned the poll of 1,000 adults, said the results showed an "alarming" failure of the criminal justice system. |

Truck seized by BATF. Guns seized by BATF included the 12 gauge "street sweeper" they recently decided should be registered.
"Authorities interviewed a man who said that Rothrock told him that he had owned the 'street sweeper' for the last 15 years."
Meanwhile, BATF's assault against his person and property surely included the use of brand new, fully automatic machineguns We Their Bosses cannot purchase or possess without the threat of PRISON. |

"Both provisions have been embraced in the Senate over the objections of civil libertarians and First Amendment advocates, allowing law enforcement broader powers to eavesdrop on telephone conversations.
"'This is not closing otherwise public records. It's simply a postponement. It's a rational, reasonable request.' Petersen said, in her years of experience as a First Amendment lawyer, she has found that 'too often, access delayed is access denied.'" |

"While a vast majority of Americans are pleased with the progress of the so-called 'war on terrorism' � declared in the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks on New York City and the Pentagon � an increasing number of lawmakers, civil libertarians and analysts from both sides of the political spectrum are becoming increasingly concerned about a possible misuse of new anti-terrorism laws." |

"A Sacramento journalist is taken into custody by police and forced to destroy photos by an over-zealous National Guardsman. Apparently, the terrorists are indeed causing instability."
"Does this man frighten you? [See photo.] The 'suspicious' journalist shows his ticket and ID at Sacramento International Airport. The photos of LAX were ordered destroyed."
"I didn�t expect to be ordered to destroy photographs by an irate National Guardsman. I didn�t expect the Los Angeles Police Department to confiscate and read the notes I�d taken on my trip. I didn�t expect to be questioned by the FBI and detained for nearly three hours for no probable cause." |

"The Justice Department jolted the nation with a new terrorism warning Monday night, saying it had 'credible' but nonspecific information that a new wave of attacks could strike Americans at home or overseas this week."
"Federal agencies, including the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the Federal Aviation Administration, are adopting undisclosed security measures, Ashcroft said."
[Are these "undisclosed" measures going to be more effective than others they've tried?] |

Former American Airlines Chairman Robert Crandall sharply criticized government and industry leaders Monday for failing to come up with the kind of comprehensive new security measures that he said are necessary to overcome the "greatest challenge our aviation system has ever faced."
Crandall was sharply critical of the actions taken so far to increase aviation security, saying "much of what has been done since Sept. 11, in my opinion, is show rather than substance." |

"What I do think had happened is that these attacks have made people realize just how vulnerable they can be," Goranflo added. "They are wanting to find ways to protect their homes from other crimes, like burglary, where a drug addict may break into a house to steal possessions in order to feed a habit."

"The bottom line is simple and clear: Dismantling democracy is exactly what the terrorists sought. With these actions, we ourselves surrender to them their greatest victory. These votes will be celebrated in every terrorist cave in the Mideast, every cell in Europe, every spy living in our midst." |
