Navy ordinace personnel always to have a keen sense of irony and, therefore, a fine sense of humor. On Cohen. Well, he affirms his belief in his coic. What else needs to be said? This press statement does sound like Algore though. Maybe the two have been spending too much time together or drinking from the same fruit bowl. ;) anon y. mous

Be aware that concealing your opinions on this matter can get you into hot water. Juror Laura Kriho was convicted of obstruction of justice for not revealing that she believed in jury nullification, during the selection process. Kriho has appealed. More information is at http://home.utah-inter.net/don-tiggre/jrp.krihotoc.htm. The judge's ruling, at http://www.eagle-access.net/index3.html: :} After reviewing all the evidence and the law, and applying the standard :} of proof beyond a reasonable doubt, the Court reaches the following :} conclusions. During the jury selection process Ms. Kriho was aware that :} the trial court and the lawyers felt it was a juror's duty to follow the :} law as given by the trial court, and they wanted to know if any juror :} disagreed with this proposition. Ms. Kriho was also aware that the trial :} court and the parties wanted to know if the jurors could follow the rule :} that punishment was not to enter into their deliberations. Ms. Kriho :} was also aware that the trial court and the parties wanted to know if :} the jurors could follow the rule that punishment was not to enter into :} their deliberations. Ms. Kriho was also aware that the trial court and :} the parties wanted to know if any juror had strong feelings concerning :} the enforcement of drug laws or any experience that would affect their :} attitude about drug laws. While being aware of the importance of these :} issues and having been given the opportunity to comment on these issues, :} Ms. Kriho deliberately withheld her opinions on these topics from the :} trial court and the parties during the jury selection process. Based on :} all the evidence, this Court concludes that it was Ms. Kriho's intent to :} withhold this information from the trial court and the parties so that :} she could be selected to serve on the jury and obstruct the judicial :} process. By deliberately withholding this information, she obstructed :} the process of selecting a fair and impartial jury. The selection of :} jurors who have open minds and who have not preconceived the verdict :} is essential for a fair trial. Ms. Kriho's lack of candor about her :} experiences and attitudes led to the selection of a jury doomed to :} mistrial from the start. This Court finds this conduct constitutes :} obstruction of justice and this conduct was offensive to the authority :} and dignity of the trial court.

Assault on Civil Liberties
by DOOM Anonymous Untraceable User 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

<http://www.sjmercury.com/columnists/gillmor/docs/dg121398.htm> "Civil liberties and privacy grew more tenuous. The Clinton administration maintained its record of utter unfriendliness toward the Bill of Rights as it applies to technology. The administration's hard-line stand on encryption, the scrambling of data to keep it away from prying eyes, shows no signs of moderation. And the administration pursued the absurd notion, which flies utterly in the face of reality, that private businesses can regulate themselves in ways that protect consumers' privacy."

INTELLIGENT VIRUS INVADES NT SERVERS A new computer virus that attacked 10 MCI Worldcom networks last week is capable of spreading throughout computer networks and scrambling the documents on those networks as it goes. "We've never seen anything this sophisticated in 10 years of doing this," says Network Associates' general manager of network security. "This is a completely new strain of virus and the first we've seen that propagates itself with no user interaction." The "Remote Explorer" virus runs on Microsoft Windows NT servers and affects common programs like Microsoft Word. Users clicking on their Word icon might experience a slight delay, but otherwise would be unable to detect the presence of the virus; meanwhile, the virus is busy corrupting files and spreading to other programs. Microsoft officials say they're "aware of other viruses that have the same characteristics," and Network Associates says it has developed a Remote Explorer detector and is working on a solution to decode the affected files.

The only Mils vaccinated are the ones going into saudi and bosnia and other High-threat area's. They will not be fully vac'ed for another 3-5 years. As far as smallpox...I'd just as soon that shit NEVER get dug up. I somehow doubt a skeleton could harbor usable smallpox but I am not up on my biology tonight. --Skrill
