In this new age, there's no such thing as a 'nonlethal' weapon By Barbara Hatch Rosenberg and Mark L. Wheelis 12/9/02 "The same technological revolution that is accelerating the development of new medical products is also making it possible for coercive regimes to manipulate human beings by altering their psychological processes, controlling their behavior, interfering with reproduction or tampering with inheritance - and even to do so without the knowledge of the victims." http://www.philly.com/mld/inquirer/news/editorial/4697407.htm

The papers that cried wolf - Brian Whitaker looks at how the American media are softening up public attitudes to war with Iraq Monday December 16, 2002 "Last week brought yet another terrifying headline from an American newspaper: "US suspects al-Qaida got nerve agent from Iraqis"....Less promisingly, the second paragraph begins: "If the report proves true ... " The remaining 28 paragraphs offer little to suggest that it actually is true, and several reasons for thinking it may not be. Paragraph six tells us: "Like most intelligence, the reported chemical weapon transfer is not backed by definitive evidence." Paragraph eight says: "Even authorised spokesmen, with one exception, addressed the report on the condition of anonymity. They said the principal source on the chemical transfer was uncorroborated, and that indications it involved a nerve agent were open to interpretation." In paragraph 12, we are told that the report may be connected to a warning message circulated to American forces overseas and an unnamed official is cited as saying that the message resulted only from an analyst's hypothetical concern. As one would expect from the Washington Post, the story is carefully written and meticulously researched. But it's basically worthless.

LAW OF THE LAND Suit claims Bush conspired
to cover up rape Unsubstantiated report goes online prematurely Posted: December 13, 2002

© 2002 WorldNetDaily.com A news report about a court filing by a Missouri City, Texas, woman who claims President Bush raped her was posted on the Internet prematurely and without sufficient fact-checking, says the editor of the paper.
both from L Moss Sharman - Foster home numbers dwindle - 1,000 children in Ottawa need help, but only 278 offer care Bob Harvey -A study of 3,053 reported cases of child abuse and neglect in Ontario between 1993 and 1998 shows a 90-per-cent increase in physical abuse, a doubling in maltreatment and neglect, and an 870-per-cent increase in emotional maltreatment, largely cases of children being exposed to domestic violence. On the other hand, the study found, there was a 44-per-cent decrease in reported sexual abuse." Http://www.canada.com/ottawa/news/story.asp?id={E7D885DE-AD31-4933-BBF9-7AC8EA79FF73}
Let the healing begin Sault Star Editorial Staff 12/16/02 "Editorials - It's time for the Roman Catholic Church in Canada to get on board. Last week, the Presbyterian Church tentatively agreed to pay up to $2.1 million to settle abuse claims by former students at native residential schools. Last month, the Anglican Church settled on a deal which, if ratified by dioceses across Canada during the next three months, will see it pay up to $25 million for validated claims. The churches have agreed to these upper-limit settlements to cover abut 30 per cent of validated settlements for physical or sexual abuse in the government-owned schools they ran from 1930 to 1996. Ottawa will pay the rest. The Presbyterian Church is involved in less than two per cent of total claims alleged by about 240 plaintiffs. The Anglican Church is named in about 18 per cent of the lawsuits, involving some 2,200 plaintiffs. The United Church is named in about eight per cent of claims, and cost-sharing talks with Ottawa are set to resume next month. As horrible as these numbers are, they represent the bit players in 5,000 native residential school lawsuits claiming damages for physical, sexual and cultural abuse by 12,000 plaintiffs. Various Catholic groups are named in 72 per cent of lawsuits — by far the biggest share." http://www.saultstar.com/webapp/sitepages/content.asp?contentid=16932&catname=Editorials
Brighthouse Institute for Thought Sciences Launches First "Neuromarketing" Research Company Company Uses Neuroimaging to Unlock the Consumer Mind Atlanta, GA – 6/3/02 – "BrightHouse Institute for Thought Sciences emerged from stealth mode today and announced its intentions of revolutionizing the marketing industry. Thought Sciences bridges the gap between business and science and provides its clients with unprecedented insight into their consumers' minds. The company plans to change the marketing world by using modern neuroscience methods to observe and understand the true drivers of consumer behavior. The Thought Sciences team uses functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI), a safe and non-invasive technique, to observe patterns in brain activity that reveal how a person is processing and/or evaluating a product, object or advertisement. Thought Sciences neuroscientists and marketing analysts then use this information to more accurately measure consumer preference and determine whether it has been affected by a particular message campaign. These insights give marketers key pieces of information difficult, if not impossible, to objectively obtain with current research methods which can then be translated into the creation of products, services, and marketing campaigns that better resonate with customers." http://www.thoughtsciences.com/pressrelease060302.htm
