    At last count, there were more than 100 prisoners aged 60 and older on America’s death rows.

    Clarence Ray Allen is old, sick, and disabled. He suffers from just about every physical ailment imaginable. But Allen is a condemned killer, and he could be executed at California’s San Quentin prison on January 17.
    Septuagenarians are not aberrations on America’s death rows. A reporter who interviewed death row prisoner Stanley Tookie Williams shortly before his (…)

    By Richard Cohen
    Last month Justice Antonin Scalia was politely quizzed by Norman Pearlstine, the outgoing Time Inc. editor in chief. The event, held in Time Warner’s New York headquarters, was supposedly off the record, but so much of it has already been reported that it will not hurt to add Scalia’s views on flag burning. He explained why it was constitutionally protected speech. It’s a pity Hillary Clinton was not there to hear him.
    The argument that this famously conservative member (…)

  • DEATH SENTENCE; TOO DIFFICULT FOR AMERICANS, BUT TOO EASY FOR INNOCENT IRAQIS !

    DEATH SENTENCE; TOO DIFFICULT FOR AMERICANS, BUT TOO EASY FOR INNOCENT IRAQIS ! The case of the execution of Stanley Roorkie Williams has drawn much attention in the western media. It took the American justice about 24 years to trail, convict, and execute a man who had brutally killed 4 innocent people !. This may express the preciousness of human life, that should not be terminated without a justice trail and due cause.
    ON THE OTHER hand, the scene in Iraq is very much gloomy. The (…)

    SAN QUENTIN (FinalCall.com) - “The State of California just killed an innocent man,” three supporters of Stanley “Tookie” Williams, who witnessed his execution, harmonically yelled with their fists in the air as they left San Quentin State Prison’s death chamber. This most unusual rally cry at the end of a state sponsored execution was echoed outside the prison where nearly 3,000 supporters gathered to protest Mr. Williams’ killing.

    WASHINGTON - A federal judge yesterday ordered the Pentagon to stop administering an anthrax vaccine to service members without their consent, ruling that defense officials cannot require troops to "serve as guinea pigs for experimental drugs."
    In blocking mandatory anthrax inoculations until a full trial can be held on the matter, U.S. District Judge Emmet G. Sullivan agreed with the contention by six unnamed Defense Department plaintiffs. They say the anthrax vaccine is an experimental (…)

    DAMASCUS, Syria, Dec. 6 - The United Nations investigation into the assassination of the former Lebanese prime minister, Rafik Hariri, is beginning to show some cracks: one witness is dead, another is in jail and still another has recanted his testimony with a fantastic story of abduction, drugging and bribery.
    In a case that has begun to sound more and more like a fictional spy thriller, with charges of Soviet-style intimidation tactics and a witness who died when (…)

    Dear Ex-Rep. Cunningham:
    On Nov. 28, 2005, you copped a plea before a federal judge, the Hon. Larry Burns, in San Diego, CA, to assorted criminal bribery, mail and wire fraud, tax evasion and conspiracy charges. (1) You confessed to taking $2.4 million in bribes in order to steer lucrative defense contracts to your fellow, at this point unnamed, coconspirators. You are, in a word, a “bought” congressman, who served eight-terms in the House of Representatives. Your price was, indeed, (…)

    An Appeal from Mordechai Vanunu December 6, 2005
    My Dears Friends. On 15 January 2006 I will stand trial in the Israeli court. I will be charged with 21 counts of speaking or meeting with foreigners, which Israel has said I am not allowed to do. These restrictions were imposed on me on 21 April 2004 upon my release from 18 years of isolation in prison. I am asking all of my friends and supporters all over the world to help and support me in this very important case. I think this trial (…)
