High Court Asked to Take Guantanamo Case WASHINGTON - Lawyers for a Guantanamo detainee asked the Supreme Court on Monday to consider blocking military tribunals for terror suspects, and overturn what they called an extreme ruling by high court nominee John Roberts. Roberts was on a three-judge federal appeals court panel that last month ruled against Salim Ahmed Hamdan, a Yemeni who once was Osama bin Laden's driver. Hamdan's attorneys said in their filing with the justices that the appeals court had rejected long-standing constitutional and international law.

Since the London bombings the Australian mass media has been serving up a steady stream of garbled diatribes from local radical Muslim clerics. One wonders why these fanatics have been kept ‘on tap’ by local security agencies. But after a week of media ‘interviews’ with these unrepresentative Muslims, all becomes clear! Conservative (government) political strategists and media consultants are behind these latest ‘media events’. These relatively easy to locate (moron) fundamentalists are utilised to good advantage by the Howard government and some local political commentators as a means of distracting the public’s attention away from sensitive issues for which the government is directly responsible. It is hoped that public anger, in the likely event of a terrorist strike, will be vented on the local Muslim community rather than Howard and his stooge government. ... read full story / add a comment

Ian Clarke (the inventor of, among many other things, Freenet) has been singled out by a notorious US journalist that helped take down the US cracker Kevin Mitnick. The Freenet Project, involves a way to organise the distribution of information anonymously across computer networks in order to ensure anonymity. Now Clarke is being set up by NYT journalist John Markoff as a target of the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) with claims that Freenet is not about freespeech and anonymity, but actually about trading copyrighted material. Slashdot also has a discussion on the matter which refutes this. ... read full story / add a comment |
