Shooting cops is an Adrenaline rush.Its also more popular this year.

Sniffer dog picked up trail By WAYNE HOWELL, Supreme Court reporter 04sep02 A POLICE dog tracked a fresh human scent just after two officers were gunned down, a jury heard yesterday. The dog, Gus, picked up a scent near the shooting, the Supreme Court was told. The four-year-old rottweiler led his handler, Senior-Constable John-Peter Murray, under three fences, apparently tracking a scent but never reaching its source. Sen-Constable Murray said he believed Gus could distinguish the scents of innocent passers-by and offenders. "Actual offenders . . . have an adrenalin rush . . . that the dog actually tracks a lot better and is more excited . . . to just a member of the public," he said. Asked about Gus's intensity while following the scent, Sen-Constable Murray said: "I believe the track was fresh." Sergeant Gary Silk, 35, and Senior-Constable Rodney Miller, 34, were fatally shot in Cochranes Rd, Moorabbin, early on August 16, 1998. The prosecution in the trial of two men accused of the murders has told the court the police were shot when they pulled over two armed robbers who had been about to hit a restaurant. The jury has heard that two other policemen saw their colleagues being shot from 100m away, and the car they had pulled over driving away. The court has heard that despite being mortally wounded, Sen-Constable Miller managed to say there had been two attackers and one was "on foot". The court heard yesterday that the day after the shooting, a television cameraman found a spent bullet casing while filming people putting flowers at the scene. Christopher McHattie said that while he was filming he noticed a "shiny object in the grass" and called over the journalist who was with him. "We bent down to give it a flick and realised it was what looked like a spent bullet casing," Mr McHattie said. Bandali Michael Debs, 49, of Springfield Drive, Narre Warren, and Jason Joseph Roberts, 22, of Merrijig Drive, Cranbourne, have both pleaded not guilty to two charges of murder. Their trial, before Justice Philip Cummins, was to continue. http://www.heraldsun.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,5478,5029441%255E2862,… Attacks on police soar By TANYA GILES 04sep02 VIOLENT crime against police is rising: more than 2300 officers were attacked while on duty in one year. Knives were the most common weapon used. More than 150 police were attacked or threatened with flick knives or blades last year -- a 64 per cent increase on the previous year. Criminals shot at three officers and another 22 police were threatened with firearms in 2001 -- a 19 per cent increase. Total assaults against police jumped to 2310, an 18.5 per cent increase on the previous year. Next month, Victoria Police will begin to issue the latest in bulletproof vests to all officers. About 8600 police will be issued with the lightweight T-shirt style vests that, unlike the bulky vests worn over clothes, can be hidden under their uniforms. The vests are made from a fibre several times stronger than steel and not only stop bullets but can prevent knives stabbing through the fabric. Inspector Emmett Dunne, manager of the operational safety and tactics training unit, said police would have the choice of several types of vests offering different levels of protection, and would be trained in their use from October 1. Insp Dunne said police did not deserve to be threatened or injured while protecting the community. He urged all Victorians to remember there was a "human being behind the uniform". "Just remember they have got a family and friends to go home to as well," he said. Other police statistics obtained by the Herald Sun revealed 50 police were threatened or battered with bats, bars or clubs last year, an increase of 20 per cent. In one incident, five officers were injured by a man wielding a large ceremonial crucifix inside St Margaret Mary's Catholic Church, Spotswood. Another 17 police officers were rammed with vehicles, in a total of 83 incidents in the past five years. One police sergeant narrowly escaped death when he was forced through a wooden fence and crushed in a hit-run incident involving a stolen car in Reservoir. Insp Dunne said police were instructed on how to deal with potentially violent situations through conflict resolution and other evasive actions. Police Association secretary Senior Sergeant Paul Mullett said police should not have to face attacks while doing their jobs. "Our members are on the front line as far as keeping the community safe. We are the thin blue line, and any attack on police is an attack on society itself," he said. "Our members should not be used as punching bags because they are doing their job protecting the community." Sen-Sgt Mullett said covert ballistic vests needed to be introduced urgently to offer police immediate protection. http://www.heraldsun.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,5478,5030069%255E2862,…

Right. While the immediate bug is in Microsoft IE and Outlook, this exploit is also a reflection of the contorted mess that is the certificate structure and the public key infrastructure, and of the fact that Verisign is not doing its job. (This exploit only works if one starts with a legitimate verisign certificate for a web site, it does not work if one starts with a legitimate Thawte certificate.) Microsoft unambiguously screwed up, but the infrastructure made it easy to screw up, and difficult and expensive to get things right. --digsig James A.

US SS knives SA on HR for HS.Night of the long knives.
by Matthew X 03 Sep '02

03 Sep '02

Remember when the SS took over from the SA Lili Marlene? The Bush administration did not go far enough when it recommended giving the proposed Homeland Security Department extra flexibility in hiring, retaining and firing department staff, according to President Bush's Homeland Security Advisory Council. Despite already heated opposition to Bush's proposal in the Senate, the council, which draws its members from the public and private sectors, suggested several ideas in a meeting last week, including that senior executives and managers slated to join the proposed department be required to apply for the new positions they would hold. Using this tactic, the administration, employees and the public can be sure that the department's leaders are really the best people for the job, not just the people who held certain titles before, said council member Ruth David, president and chief executive officer of Analytical Services Inc. Measuring the performance of people, as well as systems and programs, is important throughout the department, council members agreed. The council was especially concerned with the role of middle managers. For example, they proposed evaluating managers on their ability to make their staff members work as a team and replacing managers if they fail. "Culture is an asset, but it can never be an excuse," said Norm Augustine, former chief executive officer of Lockheed Martin Corp., whom the council called in to share ideas on integration. Augustine also served as a member of the U.S. Commission on National Security/21st Century, a bipartisan group established by Congress that called for a homeland security department in its final February 2001 report. Members acknowledged that many of the flexibilities the council suggested do not easily fit within the government structure. "We're having to invent an entirely new process of integration," said Utah Gov. Michael Leavitt, a council member. But all agreed that past experience merging agencies shows that working by old management rules will cost critical years while trying to bring together all the pieces of the proposed department. "We do not have the time to repeat those patterns," said council member Lydia Thomas, president and CEO of Mitretek Systems Inc. Council members said management flexibility was critical to the success of the department. But the concept still faces a fierce debate in Congress. Although the House passed its version of the Homeland Security Department bill July 26 with the management flexibilities intact, the battle in the Senate, which is still deliberating the bill, is heating up. Sen. Joe Lieberman (D-Conn.), chairman of the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee, sent a letter last week to members of Congress highlighting the differences between the president's bill to create the proposed department and the Senate version. Lieberman's committee leads the Senate's work on the bill. In the letter, he said that the Senate is already giving the administration "all the power it needs to create and run an effective, performance-driven department." "In my view," Lieberman wrote, "the administration has blurred the focus of its bill and risked dragging this common cause into a quicksand of unnecessary controversy by taking on significant but vague new executive powers that are uncalled for and in some cases unprecedented." Meanwhile, in a report last week, Bobby Harnage, national president of the American Federation of Government Employees, maintained that "pretty much what the administration is pleading for already exists." Flexibility, Harnage said, is another word for "gutting the civil service merit system and busting employee unions." A push for more power President Bush's Homeland Security Advisory Council highlighted several management flexibilities that its members consider essential to the proposed Homeland Security Department, including the ability to: * Pick managers based on the new department's structure rather than on employees' old titles and positions. * Give the department's chief information officer control of every portion of the information technology budget. * Identify an independent group or person who can observe the management practices of the agency and highlight where and when problems occur. * Make quick personnel changes when managers are not successful in bringing their groups together into one culture and promote managers who support the department's goals. http://www.fcw.com/fcw/articles/2002/0902/news-mgt-09-02-02.asp Check survey on front page.47% to 53% when I looked today.

Code red leads to Code blue in DC.

POLICE ABUSE ALLEGED IN THE ARREST OF A ROLLERBLADING POLITICAL ACTIVIST Bandana protection from Code Red smog in D.C. becomes an excuse for a brutal arrest and violation of rights WASHINGTON, D.C. -- D.C. Statehood Green Party member and community activist Chris Otten will represent himself in court on Thursday, September 5, when he faces charges after an incident in which D.C. police reportedly violated his privacy and used needless force. On July 25, Otten was rollerblading on U Street NW, wearing a bandana over his nose and mouth due to Code Red smog. A sergeant of the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) approached Otten near the U Street Metro Station, wielding his baton and demanding identification. Otten refused, citing privacy rights, upon which police backup was summoned and Otten was tackled to the ground by several MPD officers. He was arrested on the charges of "failure to show identification" and "disorderly conduct," denied medical attention for eight hours, and spent 20 hours in jail. Otten called his arrest and brutal treatment typical of a larger assault on American civil liberties. "Everyday citizens need to concern themselves when the police show up to harass their fellow neighbors. I encourage all people to read up on our rights and watch the police carefully when the situation calls so to witness and testify against any police brutality that may, and in D.C., most likely will occur." "What happened to me is nothing new in DC," Otten added. "I met lots of people during my experience in the D.C. criminal justice system who are subjected to police abuse regularly -- to the point where this system has become a culture, a way of life for many D.C. residents." "As a candidate Ward One member of City Council, I am outraged that [incumbent candidate] Jim Graham and his campaign staff would stand by idly while a young man who was trying to protect himself from the smog found himself attacked and abused by police," said Edward Chico Troy, noting that the incident took place in Ward One. "The police should be held accountable to standards of professional law enforcemet behavior. We should never allow or condone the abuse of law-abidng citizens." Chris Otten will appear in D.C. Superior Court, 500 Indiana Avenue NW, courtroom 120 on September 5 at 9 a.m., after an 8 a.m. rally in his defense in front of the courthouse. For periodic updates during the day, call Mintwood Media at (202) 986-6186. "We must take a stand against police abuse of power and the criminal injustice system," said Otten. "This is especially true when U.S. government cronies like John Ashcroft have pounced on people's true fears stemming from 9-11 and he has used them to attack Americans' civil liberties through the USA PATRIOT Act and the Homeland Defense Department, both of which are reminiscent of McCarthy era policies from the 1950s."

Was Mi5 behind the Blair Ditch project?
by Matthew X 03 Sep '02

03 Sep '02

MI5 agent David Rupert tried to get the Continuity IRA (CIRA) to procure biological weapons, The Sunday Business Post has learned. The breakaway republican group eventually declined Rupert's overtures, but the informant is believed to have succeeded in smuggling arms from the United States into Ireland, with the full knowledge of MI5, in 1997. The American was operating as an agent for the British security service from a base in Donegal without authorisation from the Irish government. The Garda was also not informed. This newspaper has seen a series of e-mails which were sent by Rupert to his MI5 handlers in which he outlined his extraordinary efforts to inveigle himself into the CIRA hierarchy between 1993 and 1998. "I had outlined the weapons deals briefly in the US," Rupert wrote in one e-mail sent to his MI5 handler in 1998. "I talked about the computer deal and then the big one, biologicals. I said I understand they are quite easy to get in the US as a laboratory experiment type deal. They were interested." The 51-year-old Rupert is now on the Witness Protection Programme in the United States waiting to give evidence in the trial of Michael McKevitt, the alleged leader of the Real IRA. McKevitt is expected to go on trial early next year in the Special Criminal Court on charges of directing terrorism.

FBI quizzes US ambush victims By Jordan Baker and Catharine Munro 03sep02 AN FBI agent has interviewed victims of a violent ambush in Indonesia's Papua province as they recovered in an Australian hospital. Three people died when an estimated 15 gunmen opened fire on a convoy of cars carrying teachers and their families near a huge US gold mine at the weekend. Seven Americans and an Indonesian were airlifted to a hospital in Townsville, north Queensland, where at least two underwent surgery. Among the injured sent to Australia were American school teachers Saundra Hopkins and Ken Balk, and their six-year-old daughter Taia. A Townsville Hospital spokeswoman said all patients were stable and resting comfortably. United States Embassy spokesman Matt Conoley said an American consular official and an embassy legal attache, who was also an FBI agent, had flown to Townsville. They were interviewing the American patients. "Obviously this kind of attack can raise concerns that this could be a militant or terrorist attack," Mr Conoley said. "We wanted to verify whether or not that was the case. "At this point it's too soon to tell and I don't have any details about what was talked about." The New York Times reported Western diplomats believed the ambush did not appear to be part of an international terrorist plot against Americans. Amnesty International today condemned the attack but warned authorities to refrain from using the incident as an excuse to crack down on Papuan civilians. It called for an immediate, impartial and effective investigation. Any suspects should be charged with a recognisable criminal offence and be brought to trial in accordance with international standards for a fair trial, it said. "Freeport (mine) also has a responsibility to ensure that an effective and independent investigation takes place," it said. Security authorities have blamed the Free Papua Movement (OPM), but the OPM and its political arm have denied responsibility. Some analysts have suggested elements of the military could be involved. The loosely-organised OPM has waged for three decades a low-level guerrilla struggle against Indonesian rule in the province in the western half of New Guinea island. Meanwhile, a Papuan human rights group has said 15 people had been questioned without lawyers over the killing of three teachers at a remote mine in Papua province. The claim came as Amnesty International issued a statement calling on the Indonesian government to respect human rights while tracking down the killers of two Americans and one Indonesian at the Freeport gold and copper mine on New Guinea island on Saturday. Ten more people were injured in the attack on a convoy of cars travelling on a road between the coast and the highlands mine. They included seven Americans and an Indonesian who were evacuated to Townsville Hospital in far north Queensland for urgent medical treatment. But the Indonesian military and police both denied they had detained any suspects as their search continued. Aloysius Renwarin of the Human Rights and Advocacy Group (ELSHAM) in the provincial capital of Jayapura said he had received reports that people in the tribal village of Wara Banti, close to the site of the attack, had been detained in the mining settlement of Tembagapura. "We heard reports from the Amungme tribe, particularly from Wara Banti village, that they have been accused of being involved in an attack," Renwarin said. "Fifteen residents of Wara Banti were interrogated by the police but they were not accompanied by a lawyer." "The 15 were just ordinary people, they don't know much." Villagers were unable to carry out their everyday work because access to roads had been limited to the military, he said. Regional police chief Made Pastika said ELSHAM's claim was incorrect. "The police have not arrested anybody," he said. Pastika said that police had not yet identified a man who was shot dead by soldiers near the scene of the attack on Sunday on suspicion of being involved in the ambush. "We have asked members of two local tribes to confirm the identity of the dead man but they don't know him," he said. Papua regional military chief Major General Mahidin Simbolon denied any arrests had been made. "We're trying our best here and people just need to be patient," he told Reuters. Security analysts have questioned the ability of the badly organised guerilla group, Free Papua Movement (OPM), to carry out the ambush and said such violence was uncharacteristic of their decades-old struggle for independence. Amnesty International warned the military not to use the attack to justify harsh operations, saying that past assaults have resulted in gross human rights violations against civilians. "The Indonesian authorities have an obligation to bring those responsible to justice," the group said in a statement. However, it warned against using the incident as justification for indiscriminate operations against Papuan civilians, including independence activists. "It would not be the first time that the Indonesian military has been suspected of provoking armed attacks or other disturbances in Papua or elsewhere in Indonesia in recent years," Amnesty international said.

Erm,ah,a "Pinhead" from ratbags.com would like to set you straight.
by Matthew X 03 Sep '02

03 Sep '02

The moral disease of homosexuality is rooted in the godless metaphysics of evolutionism. Evolutionism is the theory, homosexuality is the practice. Evolutionists fail to distinguish between the anus and the vagina because they both appear as a hole. It is the same ideology that refuses to distinguish between human bones and monkey bones because they both appear as bones. This is like failing to distinguish between a rocket launcher and a pipe because they both appear as a tube. However, nobody makes that mistake becuase everybody applies intellegent design theory, not evolutionism, to those things. Many evolutionists take this ideology to its logical limit. Since their belief system predicts the anus and the vagina are both purposeless holes with no difference between them there is no reason not to engage in the using of either one--with the easier-to-obtain anusus winning out. This is where homosexuality comes from. Well, what are the actual consequences of this behavior? Anus-stuffing evolutionists think they have deceived G-d because they have deceived themselves, but G-d is not mocked and he will have his vengence! Returning to our analogy, the vagina, like the pipe, is designed for bi-directional flow. The anus, like the rocket launcher, only launches one way! If you continue to stuff anuses, like stuffing a rocket launcher--an explosion will inevitably occur. This is what's happening in the world today. Global warming is really caused by the wrath of G-d against the rampant anus-stuffing society known as the Netherlands. G-d intends to melt the polar ice caps in order to drown that most sinful lowland nation like he did to the world in the days of Noah--and this time, there will be no litttle Dutch boys to stick their fingers in the dyke-holes to stop it. That will only be the beginning, the day of reckoning for the continual stuffing anuses for ll of humanity will then be upon us!

Chicken attack on America.
by Matthew X 03 Sep '02

03 Sep '02

Chicken kill leaves bitter aftertaste By Daniel Lewis, Regional Writer September 3 2002 When the diseased birds wouldn't burn as fast as they were being gassed or having their necks wrung, the alternative for Mangrove Mountain was the pits. There are two of them, lined with more than 100 shipping containers that are filled with the carcasses of about 1.5 million chickens. The pits must be monitored for at least 30 years - which the Auditor-General says is costing about $1 million a year. They are symbols of the fact that people are still paying for Australia's worst outbreak of exotic animal disease long after the last animal was destroyed. Newcastle disease struck the small Central Coast farming community's poultry industry in 1999. What happened to farmers like Shaun Rodger has helped the country understand how devastating a widespread outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease would be. The Productivity Commission looked at Mangrove Mountain and noted: "Although the disease was confined to one area it took three months to control, involved up to 5000 people working on eradication and is conservatively estimated to have cost governments around $22 million (excluding compensation)." advertisement The cost to the chicken meat industry has been put at $200 million and farmers are still furious over their compensation. From what he saw at Mangrove Mountain, Mr Rodger's assessment of foot-and-mouth is that "you wouldn't have a hope in hell of stopping it". Mr Rodger - whose family was reduced to accepting food parcels after the outbreak - is also chairman of the NSW Contract Poultry Group and represents most chicken farmers around Mangrove Mountain. They are still angry, he says, over the lack of consultation from government authorities as the outbreak was tackled. "You have got to use farmers. Nobody knows their plot of dirt better than the farmer. Farmers just felt isolated." Had their advice and help been accepted, the outbreak would have been controlled far more quickly and cheaply. Many locals also fear that the pits are not being monitored closely enough, Mr Rodger said. The destruction and disposal of seven million animals in Britain last year after a foot-and-mouth outbreak has thrown the spotlight back on carcass disposal. Britain's Environment Agency recorded about 50 cases of water pollution related to carcass burial, but there was no long-term contamination of drinking water. There were about 900 burial sites and 300 complaints about the smell. The burning of animals on spectacular pyres was seen as a public relations disaster that cost British tourism billions of dollars. The preferred method of carcass disposal in Australia is burial, although burning was tried first at Mangrove Mountain. Huge fires fuelled by 120,000 railway sleepers burnt 24 hours a day to destroy more than 500,000 birds, but could not keep up with the killing, says NSW Agriculture's Kevin Cooper, who managed the outbreak. The pits were built to the highest standard, well above the water table, and rigorous testing had revealed no problems. NSW Agriculture is now working with local government to identify sites across the state that could be safely used for future carcass burials. At Mangrove Mountain, the State Government still employs a community worker to help locals adjust. A Department of Community Services survey found that 69 per cent of people felt it would take at least two years to recover economically and emotionally. Its research identified continuing divisions between chicken farmers and others over issues such as restriction of movement during the emergency. The outbreak also sparked stigma, paranoia and conspiracy theories. Farmers' children were bullied and the case of the child who had a chicken sandwich unnecessarily confiscated when the school bus was stopped at a checkpoint has become bitter legend. Mr Rodger says the only good result was Mangrove Mountain was put on the map. When Sydneysiders discovered the beautiful rural property within an hour's drive, real estate prices rose, but "they're already complaining about the smell of chook manure".

SOB George and the Mondragon.
by Matthew X 03 Sep '02

03 Sep '02

The Challange of Mondragon. In the Beginning . . . . The Basque region of Spain has, in recent years, seen the rise of a system of cooperatives that is unparalleled in its dynamism, growth, and economic impact on a region. The system, which spreads throughout the surrounding Basque region, is named after Mondragon, a town in the mountains of Guipuzkoa Province near Bilbao, the place where the first cooperatives started. Since its start over thirty years ago, it has gained an international reputation, with similar models now being developed in England, Wales, and the United States. While its explicit connections to the anarchist tradition are unclear, the Mondragon system is an example of liberatory [sic] organization which, like its predecessors in the Spanish Civil War, has achieved success on a scale unequaled in any other part of the world. The Mondragon network was founded by a Catholic priest, Don Jose Maria Arizmendi, a man who had narrowly missed being put to death by Franco as a result of his participation in the Spanish Civil War on the Republican side. With the help of collections from citizens of Mondragon, he founded an elementary technical school in 1943. The first graduates numbered among them five men who, in 1956, founded a small worker-owned and managed factory named ULGOR, numbering initially 24 members, and given to the manufacture of a copied kerosene stove. This cooperative venture proved successful and developed into the flagship enterprise of the whole system which later was to come into being. At one point ULGOR numbered over 3,000 members, although this was later recognized as too large and was reduced. The structure of this enterprise served as the model for the latter enterprises forming the system. Following the Rochedale principles, it had one member-one vote; open membership; equity held by members and hence external capitalization by debt, not equity; and continuing education Mondragon Corporación Cooperativa 17/06/2002.- MCC increased sales by 14.7% in 2001 and created 6,800 new jobs In a year like 2001, characterised by an acute slowdown in the economy all over the world, made worse in the second half of the year by the tragic events of 11 September, MCC companies performed reasonably well. They increased their sales by 14.7%, with significant international expansion in the industrial area and 6,800 new jobs created, although overall profitability fell somewhat. For 2002, the forecasts are for a 14% rise in sales and 5,000 new jobs http://www.makethemaccountable.com/

CAPPS
by Matthew X 03 Sep '02

03 Sep '02

By late fall, federal airport security officers hope to begin installing computer systems that can instantly check the personal backgrounds of airline passengers and alert security officials to any who are deemed dangerous before they can board planes and take off. The tool, a substantially advanced version of the Computer Assisted Passenger Prescreening System (CAPPS) now in use, is being designed to comb multiple government and commercial databases for information that could indicate that a passenger poses a threat. Although installation of the system at airports is scheduled to begin in late fall, a government official, speaking on background, said it could be delayed if, as expected, the Transportation Security Administration is pulled out of the Transportation Department and moved into the Homeland Security Department. "We're waiting to see what happens with the new department," the official said. The House of Representatives has approved a Bush administration plan to create the Homeland Security Department and move TSA and about two dozen other federal entities into it. But the Senate has only begun to examine the proposal. Last spring, TSA hired four companies to design rival versions of essential software for the passenger screening system, and agency officials expect a final design of the system to be finished this fall. The system should be able to conduct "real-time preflight background threat evaluation" of airline passengers by using names and personal information taken from passenger manifests, according to TSA and industry sources. The system, called CAPPS II, would compare information from manifests with information culled and analyzed instantaneously from "numerous databases from government, industry and the private sector" to determine whether any passengers pose a security threat. A computer using a security scoring algorithm and criteria and weights set by TSA would decide whether a passenger posed a threat. The system would also consider "threat data gathered from state, federal and private-sector sources," TSA officials wrote in a report on CAPPS II. An existing version of CAPPS provides threat information to airline employees, who are then supposed to pass it on to airport security personnel. The new version is being designed to provide threat alerts directly to "front-line security forces," including via secure wireless communication, the report states. TSA's plan to use information from commercial databases worries privacy advocates. The Electronic Privacy Information Center warns that "each airline passenger will be subjected to an extensive profiling" if CAPPS II goes forward. Lawyers for EPIC sued TSA, saying the agency failed to disclose enough information about how the system will work. EPIC wants to know what factors would trigger a threat alarm, how accurate data in the databases would be, what recourse travelers would have if they are falsely identified as being a threat, and whether the system violates constitutional prohibitions, including those against unreasonable searches. TSA officials are guarded about discussing the system. In a notice about CAPPS II sent to software developers this spring, TSA warned that "there shall be no public release of information concerning the requirements" of the system or proposals by companies interested in developing it. But industry officials insist it will work. "It could be very effective" in identifying potentially dangerous passengers, said Allen Shay, president of Teradata, a data warehousing division of NCR Corp. The system is likely to focus on passengers who pay cash, buy one-way tickets or have questionable or conflicting identification documents, criminal records or other information in databases that arouses suspicion, he said. Similar automated background checks are common in the financial industry and commerce, Shay said. Banks, for example, check employment, credit and financial records when marketing loans. But the passenger-screening system is almost certain to raise concerns about privacy and profiling, Shay said. "When it is done in the commercial world, it is known as customer resource management. When it is done by the government, it's an invasion of privacy," he said. "To move forward in a positive way, that's something we're going to collectively have to get over." http://www.fcw.com/fcw/articles/2002/0902/news-capps-09-02-02.asp Hope it picks up anthrax carrying sheep murdering Mi5 agents.

Portland State of Siege.
by Matthew X 03 Sep '02

03 Sep '02

This story had photos, see the link and the Portland indymedia site for a more complete story..... http://www.portland.indymedia.org The police riot at last week's A22 Bush Protest outraged many people in Portland and around the U.S. Mayor Vera Katz delivered her response on Friday by subjecting Critical Mass riders to pepperspray and police violence. With this choice, she has made it clear that she stands with tyranny and against freedom. Katz's track record of affronts against civil liberties includes the Joint Terrorism Task Force, the Sit-Lie-Stand Ordinance, and the humiliation of Dignity Village. Her committed opposition to basic human decency has never been more obvious. She is a disgrace to the caring, progressive, justice-seeking people of this city and if she had a shred of honor, she would step down. In my book, Katz is more dangerous than Dubya; her brand of petty fascism is endorsed by the clueless liberals of the Democratic Party, whose only difference with the Republicans is that they kiss you before they fuck you over. It's time for you to resign, Vera, and take that thug Police Chief Kroeker with you. 800+ riders showed up for this Friday's Critical Mass, the biggest of the year so far. Just before arriving, we heard over the police scanner that the cops were bringing vans and pepperspray. We figured that the city was somehow planning "revenge" for the victory that the people of Portland enjoyed on A22, which sent positive ripples out across the nation. And while the city certainly tried to use the cops against us -- and certain cops were brutally dedicated to the cause -- the Critical Mass was not deterred Link: http://portland.indymedia.org/front.php3?article_id=19316&group=webcast

WinXP SP1 out next Monday - but can you avoid it?
by Gary Jeffers 03 Sep '02

03 Sep '02

My fellow Cypherpunks, I found this link about WinXP SP1 . SP stands for "service pack". The article tells of some nasty goodies that MicroSoft has included in it. The 2nd link has more info.. http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/4/26911.html http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/4/26698.html You know, sometime we are going to have to abandon MS. I've already got a dual booting system: MS and Red Hat Linux. I am slowly migrating functions to Linux. The (GNU) Linux's and the free BSD's are good alternatives to MS. If you can't live without MS, then make your computer system dual booting. Also, dual booting will allow you to make a fairly easy migration to a DECENT operating system . MS is getting more and more oppressive. Yours Truly, Gary Jeffers BEAT STATE!!!!

Captain Cyborg to chip 11 year old in wake of UK child killings
by auto463742＠hushmail.com 03 Sep '02

03 Sep '02

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 quoted entirely from: http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/54/26908.html thanks! Captain Cyborg, aka Professor Kevin Warwick of Reading University, is generally a harmless if somewhat tedious self-publicist whose risible 'experiments' pay his rent and provide the less critical elements of the press with a never-ending stream of stupid stories. But an exclusive in today's Daily Mirror <http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/allnews/page.cfm?objectid=12164609&method=full…> serves to illustrate that such maniacs are not always harmless. Following the recent abduction of ten year olds Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman, the Mirror reports that Wendy and Paul Duval have decided to implant their daughter, Danielle, with "a microchip to track her every move. "If she was kidnapped her exact location would be discovered via a computer." And guess who developed the chip? That's right, "cybernetics expert Professor Kevin Warwick, 48." The Mirror does not directly attribute its explanation of the device to Captain Cyborg, but it is quite clear that some of the people involved - possibly the reporter, possibly the reporter and the Duval family - have somehow managed to get themselves seriously misled about the capabilities of the technology. The chip "emits radio waves through a mobile phone network and beams its exact location to a computer. If Danielle went missing, her location would be marked by an X on a computer map.... It will be inserted in her arm by a GP using local anaesthetic. It costs about #20 and will be invisible." Well then, how does that work? Warwick's experiments in chipping himself haven't gone as far as GPS, at least publicly, and any communications aspect to them has been decidedly short range. An "invisible" device that handles both GPS and mobile phone communications, and doesn't need its batteries changing every five seconds would however clearly make him a large fortune, if it existed. Which manifestly it doesn't. As regards GPS, you can get an idea of the current state of the art as far as footprint goes by looking at this PDF<http://www.esconline.com/sf/press/pr46.pdf>, which describes the Trimble Lassen SQ GPS module, announced in March. Two penlight batteries can power it for more than 40 hours, it is postage stamp-sized, and is "compatible with active 3.3 VDC antennas." So the small ones aren't invisible, they need two penlight batteries that you have to change every 40 hours, and they need an antenna. So the "invisible" chip is not a GPS device, and must perforce communicate with a real GPS device secreted somewhere about your person. In that sense it would therefore seem to be well within the technical capabilities already demonstrated by Captain Cyborg, who habitually shoves things under his skin so he can open doors automatically and such, when lesser mortals would merely use a smartcard ID tag. If indeed this is the way the tag will operate, then Warwick is wandering into the dubious territory of VeriChip/Digital Angel, which has been punting cattle tags at the hard of thinking. That one's the size of the ball of a ballpoint, but it needs a scanner run over it to identify you, and can't tell where you are. OK, but presuming the child protector chip can communicate with an external GPS device, where does that get you if you've been kidnapped? You can tell where you are, but how does the X get onto the computer screen? Mobile phone, obviously, but that needn't be another box, as it could be one with GPS built in, so there's still only one thing to keep hidden. We covered a system of this sort for hunting dogs a while back, and if you look here<http://benefon.com/solutions_partners/customer_solutions/dog_radar/index.htm>, you'll see the pawprint of that rig. The dogs of course don't have pockets to put it in, and no immediate need for concealment, but even so... However even if you've got a concealed mobile phone with GPS, then what use is the tag? The phone rig does all this already, so for as long as you can hang onto the phone, you're trackable, and if you can't, you're not. After that the chip could help them identify you if they find you, and if for some reason you're not in a position to tell them yourself. Again, we're in VeriChip territory here, albeit a somewhat grimmer variant thereof. So it's complete hokum, and under the circumstances pernicious. The Holly and Jessica case has generated much concern, and some hysteria in the UK, and stories such as the Mirror's serve only to fuel that hysteria by deluding parents into thinking that technology can somehow protect their children. And by pushing positive aspects of tagging, even years before it's actually feasible, they're softening public opinion up for the days when it can be widespread, and when its application can be more sinister. And Warwick's role? As we said earlier, the technological 'explanation' is not attributed to him, but he's clearly encouraging it. He said: "The implant won't prevent abductions, nothing will. But if the worst happens, parents will at least be in with a chance of finding their children alive." No more chance, it seems to us, than if the implant had not been fitted. Warwick, as is his habit, slides seamlessly into some future where it is feasible: "Children may resent that their every movement is traceable. It's also possible some parents might abuse the system. But I'm confident this has to be the correct course of action in the light of recent, tragic events." So in the light of recent tragic events the correct course of action for parents has to be the fitting of a manifestly useless tagging device to their child. "The technology exists," says Warwick, "it's affordable and accessible." No it doesn't, no it's not. This is a publicity stunt well up to the usual mark, with the added extra of being in the worst possible taste. It marks the point where Captain Cyborg ceased to be comical, and started to look like something far worse. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: Hush 2.1 Note: This signature can be verified at https://www.hushtools.com wl8EARECAB8FAj1z/f8YHGF1dG80NjM3NDJAaHVzaG1haWwuY29tAAoJEB6lQC9z1bic WnQAn0IgKGXkMlu27CuhSCSVxGTLENSUAKCKOk2EHe15fpiegsUPsqM9yYMxPQ== =V6aS -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Get your free encrypted email at https://www.hushmail.com

Pardon the abruptness and the liberty of this letter; It is due to its exigency. I am a government functionary in my country. I write to ask for your help. My colleagues and I are in need of a foreign partner to assist in the transfer of a considerable amount of money. My colleagues and I have deliberated much on the issue at hand. What we require is someone who is reliable and trustworthy, who has a vision and who will be able to manage whatever business in which we shall inject venture capital. We need someone who can share our dreams and ideals. I have the legal title to the sum and we shall go through the legal procedures entailed in both our laws and international laws in transferring the funds to you in trust. Please do not at this point misunderstand my intention, because understandably, we are not acqainted. I do not even know if you will be reliable and trustworthy, but I believe that everything starts with a first step. I know that I need to explain everything clearly to you before you can come to a decision as to whether you can assist me or not, and I will do this as soon as I get a response from you. I am sure that with the insider information I can provide, we will with your help, conclude the transaction within 21 working days. In consideration for your assistance, we have agreed to give you the normal transaction commission obtainable of 10% of the total sum, and another 5% if you can successfully put together an investment portfolio for us, as we will like to invest some of this money in your country, rather than leave it idle in a bank account.

"Ridge reportedly telephoned the ILWU's Spinosa and suggested that any job slow-down or strike would be viewed as a threat to national security." Bush threatens to use troops against West Coast dockworkers http://www.infoshop.org/inews/stories.php?story=02/09/01/6989033 The LA Times further reported that soon after negotiations began on the new West Coast longshore contract, "the White House convened a working group to monitor them, with representatives from the departments of Commerce, Labor and Transportation and the Office of Homeland Security." The use of national security and the "war on terrorism" as a pretext for stripping workers of their democratic and collective bargaining rights is already the policy adopted by the Bush administration in relation to the new Department of Homeland Security. Bush is demanding that the 170,000 federal employees being transferred into the new department lose both their civil service protection and union representation.

"...there is another Coulteresque pundit also in desperate need of accountability, to say nothing of restraint: Michelle Malkin. Malkin's syndicated column appears regularly in such newspapers as The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, The Miami Herald, The Washington Times, The Houston Chronicle and The New York Post. She also shows up as a commentator on Fox News and has an editorialist background from The Los Angeles Daily News and The Seattle Times. Unlike Coulter's unadulterated spinning, Malkin's columns commonly draw upon at least some interviewing and investigation. But this reportage does very little to temper the extreme language and ad hominem rhetorical abuse characteristic of her finished product. One of Malkin's favored -- and most irresponsible -- rhetorical techniques is a time honored one: guilt by association. And she adds her own unique flavor to this device: The associations made in her columns are frequently of her own idiosyncratic creation and not necessarily existent in real life."

ELF demolish 'Homeland security."
by Matthew X 02 Sep '02

02 Sep '02

http://www.indymedia.org/front.php3?article_id=201132&group=webcast The ELF Press Office received the following communique September 01, 2002: The Earth Liberation Front is claiming responsibility for the 8/11/02 arson attack on the United States Forest Service Northeast Research Station in Irvine, Pennsylvania. The laboratory was set ablaze during the early morning hours, causing over $700,000 damage, and destroying part of 70 years worth of research. This lesson in "prescribed fire" was a natural, necessary response to the threats posed to life in the Allegheny Forest by proposed timber sales, oil drilling, and greed driven manipulation of Nature. This facility was strategically targeted, and if rebuilt, will be targeted again for complete destruction. Furthermore, all other U.S. Forest Service administration and research facilities, as well as all DCNR buildings nationwide should now be considered likely targets. These agencies continue to ignore and mislead the public, at the bidding of their corporate masters, leaving us with no alternative to underground direct action. Their blatant disregard for the sanctity of life and its perfect Natural balance, indifference to strong public opposition, and the irrevocable acts of extreme violence they perpetrate against the Earth daily are all inexcusable, and will not be tolerated. If they persist in their crimes against life, they will be met with maximum retaliation. In pursuance of justice, freedom, and equal consideration for all innocent life across the board, segments of this global revolutionary movement are no longer limiting their revolutionary potential by adhering to a flawed, inconsistant "non-violent" ideology. While innocent life will never be harmed in any action we undertake, where it is necessary, we will no longer hesitate to pick up the gun to implement justice, and provide the needed protection for our planet that decades of legal battles, pleading, protest, and economic sabotage have failed so drastically to achieve. The diverse efforts of this revolutionary force cannot be contained, and will only continue to intensify as we are brought face to face with the oppressor in inevitable, violent confrontation. We will stand up and fight for our lives against this iniquitous civilization until its reign of TERROR is forced to an end - by any means necessary. In defense of all life, -Pacific E.L.F. Congratulations on a righteous action. (english) profrv(a)(nospam)fuckmicrosoft.com 6:11am Mon Sep 2 '02 comment#201162 Who cares who did it if the result is as claimed?

IRS now sells poppers, Vaseline Knowing this day would come, but surprised it hasn't, Movementarian.com exposes the new business the IRS is involved with, no stone left standing in the process. Current IRS commissioner Charles Rossotti stated in a news conference held today that "[W]e are trying to make the victims feel less victimized. The medical community asked us to do something after April 15th when the largest such ass raping occurred. The urologists specifically requested that we stop penetrating beyond the anus into the rectum. As a traditional policy, we are unable to comply with that request, however we will begin offering scented and colored lubes along with a vast array of non-Aspirin based painkillers. We hope this will cut down on the hospital visits and thank the community for their valuable input." David Coy Johnston of the New York Times, pointed out in his op-ed "This issue has been completely misconstrued by tax-protesters and really is a moot point. These radicals need to deal with the issue like the rest of us and pay their fair share. Sure there might be a little bleeding and discomfort, but that is the price you pay for living in such a great country. Also, in the past, we in the media tended to provide various lube products, we are committed to doing so in the future as well and appreciate your past compliance; please keep up the great work."

AU State prosecutes Schizophrenic.Third cPunk trial.Their funeral.
by Matthew X 02 Sep '02

02 Sep '02

A man diagnosed with Schizophrenia 20 years ago and drawing an 80% incapacitated pension has been charged with making death threats toward the States police force. The alleged threats were made last year at Melb Indymedia website as comments to articles.The police themselves have said that "anyone can download there." No logs used to be kept at the site nor have they been subpoenaed.Are logs kept today? http://www.indymedia.org/front.php3?article_id=201108&group=webcast No registration or log in is required.A post made will not leave a trace on the machine used to e-mail it in.This can be tested by making a cryptic post with some random numbers and then logging off and running a search on the 'C' drive. No admissions being made,the Police are relying of two copies of posts as evidence.They obtained these copies from a 'ghost' copy of a seized laptop.The laptop was at the accused's place when he was arrested by a multi agency and International police task force. One of the copied posts is timestamped;the time does NOT match the post,the other copy looks like a saved screen dump.The threat in that second one concerns Molotovs;within the week of that post Italian police had planted Molotovs at a Genoa Indymedia address.They then invaded the address injuring many and smashing computers.One has admitted he lied about being attacked with a knife. The complaining officer in the AU matter the same week is named Nic Conte.btw. He appears to be of mediterranean appearance The post was made with a US SS agent within TEMPEST range of the subjects unit.The police had keys to all the 8 units for a week during this time.The suspects computer had been hacked it had been boasted on the main Indymedia website. A reward for info leading to the suspects arrest had been offered,it was for 25K. The suspect had been imitated,stalked,threatened and abused online in the two months leading up to the arrest.Items were allegedly stolen from the unit that the suspect accused the police of lying to gain entry too. A psych nurse who attended the arrest and had previous access to the computer met the police involved.The media were notified.Suspect was described as an,M1 'protestor',he later managed to get two retractions of that claim in two local papers. A knife was allegedly pulled on the suspect at the station by Conte.The suspect was kept in a windowless police lockup for the weekend after he refused to sign several bail conditions.The jail has since been condemned,the bail conditions were described by the Magistrate on the Monday as a 'Nonsense",with,"nothing to do with the charges,"(the charges at that time.) The suspect was accused of promoting assassination politics,he was called an anarchist as if that was a criminal offence. Seven Months after the raid the suspects medical treatment was the subject of a Federal police assault.One of the AFP officers who had been at the raid went to Kyneton and plotted to increase the suspects prescribed medication 3/4 times. When the suspect resisted he was almost committed.A short time later he tried at great expense to regain his stolen property.At this hearing SC Conte claimed under oath that he ,"knew nothing about computers." The computer 'expert' claimed that merely turning on the laptop would alter thousands of files.Presumably the 'Ghost' copy was made from the 'switched on' laptop? That there was ongoing US interest in this case is spelt out in FOI documents from the AFP and a statement from a psych nurse that the Americans had mentioned Extradition at the January meeting.The US authorities had earlier started to set up a grand jury and issued a subpoena in relation to a post allegedly made by the disabled suspect. The evidence presented in the discovery is such that a quick move for dismissal with costs would be justified,should a (jury?) trial go ahead it is likely to be a long one with many questions to be answered about the various pressures to prosecute,possible tampered evidence,possible personal antipathy from the complainant.Mistakes made in the sworn brief of the complainant.The complainants history in a manifestly corrupt police force.(esp the drug squad.) Why when drugs were found at the unit charges were not proceeded with? Why have the police killed so many mentally ill people lately? Where the proof that the person charged made the alleged threats is? (The brief does not even show ISP records of the laptops being logged on the Net at the time of the alleged posts.) This is the third cypherpunk trial in the ongoing struggle for genuine cryptoanarchy,the State demonstrates its weaknesses at these trials,if its weak then we can pump up the volume,if it overreacts then its grist for the publicity mill.The significance of this trial is even revealed by random processes. It starts on Sept 11.

Scarecrow screws to cardboard cops.
by Matthew X 02 Sep '02

02 Sep '02

Job cut out for school cops Some 300 cardboard policemen reported for duty Monday morning on the streets of the Lithuanian capital Vilnius, as part of a ploy by city authorities to get drivers to slow down as children return to school. The life-size cutouts painted in the cucumber green of Lithuanian police uniforms guarded street crossings near 90 Vilnius schools. "We strive to ensure drivers and schoolchildren pay attention to the intensive traffic in Vilnius streets," Vilnius's mayor, Arturas Zuokas, said in a statement. The children also guard the cops, however, taking them inside after school hours. http://abc.net.au/news/justin/nat/newsnat-2sep2002-99.htm Wonder if they've heard of cardboard K19 submarine captains?

Bad case of crabs.
by Matthew X 02 Sep '02

02 Sep '02

http://www.gov.sg/moh/mohiss/poison/pictor.html Lophozozymus pictor (Thunder Crab) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It is a confirmed toxic species. It could be found inhabiting the coral reef beds in the southern islands off Singapore. An adult crab weighs about 100 grams and 10 cm in width. It is usually brightly coloured and has mosaic patterns on its shell and as such is also know as the mosaic crab. Locally this is commonly called "Thunder Crab"; the Australians call it the "Red and White Reef Crab". Several cases of human fatality in association with its consumption have been documented. The crab is highly toxic and to date there is no known antidote against such poisoning. Seek immediate medical treatment in any suspected case of poisoning. Distribution: Singapore, Philippines, Indonesia and Australia. Domoic Acid (ASP) in Shellfish What is domoic acid? Domoic acid is a naturally occurring toxin produced by microscopic algae, specifically the diatom Pseudo-nitzschia pungens. Shellfish and crab ingest this algae, where the toxin concentrates. Significant amounts of domoic acid can cause Amnesic Shellfish Poisoning (ASP) in humans. ASP is transmitted by eating contaminated molluscan shellfish and crab. http://www.doh.wa.gov/ehp/sf/Pubs/DomoicAcid.htm

Police have found the former leader of the Victorian branch of the Manufacturing Workers Union (MWU), Craig Johnston, has no case to answer in relation to allegations of sexual assault. Dirty tricks in the Union movement? http://www.thirdworldtraveler.com/CIA/CIA_Diary_Agee.html Psychological warfare includes propaganda (also known simply as 'media'), work in youth and student organizations, work in labour organizations (trade unions, etc.), work in professional and cultural groups and in political parties. Paramilitary operations include infiltration into denied areas, sabotage, economic warfare, personal harassment, air and maritime support, weaponry, training and support for small armies. Closely related to paramilitary operations are the disruptive activities known as militant action. Through organization and support of 'goon squads' sometimes composed of off-duty policemen, for example, or the militant sections of friendly political parties, stations attempt to intimidate communists and other extreme leftists by breaking up their meetings and demonstrations. The Technical Services staff of the DDP makes a variety of weapons and devices for these purposes. Horrible smelling liquids in small glass vials can be hurled into meeting halls. A fine clear powder can be sprinkled in a meeting-place becoming invisible after settling but having the effect of tear-gas when stirred up by the later movement of people. An incendiary powder can be moulded around prepared tablets and when ignited the combination produces ample quantities of smoke that attacks the eyes and respiratory system much more strongly than ordinary tear-gas. A tasteless substance can be introduced to food that causes exaggerated body colour. And a few small drops of a clear liquid stimulates the target to relaxed, uninhibited talk. Invisible itching powder can be placed on steering wheels or toilet seats, and a slight smear of invisible ointment causes a serious burn to skin on contact. Chemically processed tobacco can be added to cigarettes and cigars to produce respiratory ailments. Increasingly, as the oppressed in capitalist society comprehend the myth of liberal reform, their ruling minorities have no choice but to increase repression in order to avert socialist revolution. Eliminate CIA stations, US military missions, AID Public Safety missions and the 'free' trade-union programmes and those minorities would disappear, faster perhaps, than they themselves would imagine. How fitting that over the rubble of the CIA's old temporary buildings back in Washington, the new building that rose was called 'Watergate'. When the Watergate trials end and the whole episode begins to fade, there will be a movement for national renewal, for reform of electoral practices, and perhaps even for reform of the FBI and the CIA. But the return to our cozy self-righteous traditions should lure no one into believing that the problem has been removed. Reforms attack symptoms rather than the disease, and no other proof is needed than the Vietnam War and Watergate to demonstrate that the disease is our economic system and its motivational patterns. Reforms of the FBI and the CIA, even removal of the President from office, cannot remove the problem. American capitalism, based as it is on exploitation of the poor, with its fundamental motivation in personal greed, simply cannot survive without force - without a secret police force. The argument is with capitalism and it is capitalism that must be opposed, with its CIA, FBI and other security agencies understood as logical, necessary manifestations of a ruling class's determination to retain power and privilege. Now, more than ever, each of us is forced to make a conscious choice whether to support the system of minority comfort and privilege with all its security apparatus and repression, or whether to struggle for real equality of opportunity and fair distribution of benefits for all of society, in the domestic as well as the international order. It's harder now not to realize that there are two sides, harder not to understand each, and harder not to recognize that like it or not we contribute day in and day out either to the one side or to the other. http://www.thirdworldtraveler.com/CIA/CIA_Diary_Agee.html

Federal judge bars new pornography 08/31/02 Chris Seper Plain Dealer Reporter A federal judge yesterday blocked changes that were meant to modernize Ohio's anti-pornography law for the Internet age. Judge Walter Herbert Rice in Dayton said the law was so broad that it was as likely to ban teaching of the Holocaust in schools and prohibit kids from reading National Geographic magazine as it was to protect them from online pornography and the sexual deviants who prowl the Web. The judge, who issued a temporary restraining order earlier this month, permanently barred the state from enforcing the law. Now the state must decide whether to appeal the decision, let legislators amend the law or await a final ruling from the judge later this year. Bret Crow, spokesman for the Ohio attorney general's office, said yesterday his office was still examining the ruling. He didn't know how it would limit Ohio's enforcement. Ohio's decades-old law was rewritten earlier this year to cover such things as online pornographers and sexual predators who target youths. The law made it a felony to distribute material considered "harmful to juveniles" - sex acts, repeated use of foul language, lurid details of violence and the glorifying of criminal activity - via computer, the Internet, newspapers, movies and other similar means. It was challenged by bookstore owners, a state newspaper association, and a sexual advice Web site, which said the definition of "harmful to juveniles" was too vague and that the Internet should not be included. Rice, chief judge of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio, didn't rule on the Internet challenge but agreed that the definition of "harmful to juveniles" was too broad and covered too many media. Mainstream movies and magazines as well as legitimate historical topics could potentially violate the law, Rice stated. Rice also said Web sites that answer sexual health questions could also be in violation. "Indeed, under Ohio statutes, it would be illegal to show (a juvenile) a copy of a National Geographic in which indigenous women are pictured naked from the waist up," Rice wrote, also noting that prohibitions of extreme violence could endanger the teaching of the Holocaust. The attorney general's office argued during the case that no one would interpret the law that broadly, and warned that Ohio youth would be at greater risk if the law was struck down. But Rice questioned whether the law would be more effective against pornographers than existing legislation. He cited testimony in which Ohio police officers had made scores of arrests by impersonating children online. To reach this Plain Dealer reporter: cseper(a)plaind.com, 216-999-5405

A wife and child beating advocate. Bush family values -- He's the best man for the job DCF leader: It's OK to spank by Carol Marbin Miller, Lesley Clark and Peter Wallsten The man named Thursday by Gov. Jeb Bush to head Florida's notoriously inept child welfare agency is an evangelical Christian who views spanking that causes ''bruises or welts'' as acceptable punishment. The revelation did not come to Bush's attention until hours after the governor introduced Jerry Regier, a former Oklahoma Cabinet secretary and aide to Bush's father, as the new chief of the state's Department of Children and Families. Regier, 57, was named less than 48 hours after the resignation of DCF Secretary Kathleen A. Kearney. He takes over an agency that has been embroiled in scandal since 5-year-old Rilya Wilson disappeared. http://booknotes.weblogs.com/2002/08/16
