    30 April 2007 par (Open-Publishing)

    WE, THE TAXPAYERS, WANT AND DESERVE ANSWERS:
    Case Exemplifies Unbridled and Misused Power by DA’s office and others involved in Dallas, Texas Justice Resulting in expensive cases of Incarcerated Innocence. (STATE OF TEXAS v. LAKEITH AMIR-SHARIF)
    Our system of justice is in obvious and desperate need of repair when the "TRUTH" is treated as a problem in need of a solution, and our solution is to eliminate truth as a prerequisite to arrest, indictment and conviction of INNOCENT citizens. (…)

    Baltasar Garzón, the Spanish judge who sought to prosecute Chilean dictator General Augusto Pinochet, has called for US President George W. Bush and his allies to be tried for war crimes over Iraq.
    Writing in El Pais on the fourth anniversary of the invasion, Garzón stated, “Today, March 20, marks four years since the formal start of the war on Iraq. Instigated by the United States and Great Britain, and supported by Spain among other countries, one of the most sordid and (…)

    “Time’s glory is to...unmask falsehood and bring truth to light.” - William Shakespeare
    Irving “Scooter” Libby, V.P. Dick Cheney’s ex-chief of staff, has been a very bad Neocon! He was convicted on March 6, 2007, by a federal jury, in Washington, DC, on four criminal counts dealing with perjury before a grand jury, lying to the FBI and obstruction of justice. Libby was at the center of a cabal based in the White House, which manipulated intelligence and deliberately lied the country into (…)

  • The Sacco and Vanzetti Case Revisited
    7 March 2007 par (Open-Publishing)

    “Great trials express—bear—the soul of a nation...” The late historian, Arthur Schlesinger Jr. (1)
    It read like the kind of brutal crime—especially in that Roaring Twenties era—that might have been pulled off by gang headed by a trigger happy John Dillinger, or someone of that ilk. At 3 PM, April 15, 1920, two men robbed, and then shot to death, a shoe factory paymaster carrying about $16,000 in cash and his security guard. The incident took place in South Braintree, MA, near Boston. The (…)

    In the face of multiple legal and legislative challenges, President George W. Bush this week issued an executive order to allow cases against prisoners at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to move forward to trials by military tribunals.
    The challenges are to the constitutionality of the Military Commissions Act of 2006 (MCA), which Bush signed into law last October. The first three cases to be tried under the law involve an Australian, a Yemeni, and a Canadian, all held at (…)

It just doesn’t match the fairy-tale picture of a modern, progressive, peace-loving, little country which most people have acquired throughout the previous decades. This problem has been particularly acute when I’ve had to explain what currents underlay the rather (…)
