Air Force Ignored Abuse at Academy, Inquiry Reports By Diana Jean Schemo - Washington, 9/22/03 "Top leaders of the United States Air Force disregarded persistent warnings over the last decade that frequent and unpunished sexual assaults were undermining its academy in Colorado Springs, a civilian commission investigating the matter reported today. The commission also said the Air Force general counsel, Mary L. Walker, largely ignored this history of official neglect when she reported on rape at the academy in June in an effort "to shield Air Force Headquarters from public criticism." http://www.nytimes.com/2003/09/23/politics/23CADE.html?hp
Kansas City Star 09-05-03 Kansas City diocese faces two sexual abuse lawsuits By Kevin Murphy "Two lawsuits filed Thursday accuse a former Kansas City area priest of sexually abusing minors, and allege that the Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph failed to respond appropriately. In one of the lawsuits filed in Jackson County Circuit Court, plaintiff Kenneth Landes says the ex-priest, Hugh Monahan, abused him between 1982 and 1987 when he was assigned to St. Robert Bellarmine Church in Blue Springs. In the other lawsuit, an anonymous Kansas City man said Monahan's abuses occurred between 1975 and 1979 when Monahan served at three churches. The lawsuit says the diocese breached a 1999 agreement to give the plaintiff counseling." http://www.kansascity.com/mld/kansascity/news/local/6694019.htm

"May/June 2003 Amplifying Officials, Squelching Dissent
FAIR study finds democracy poorly served by war coverage By Steve Rendall & Tara Broughel
"Since the invasion of Iraq began in March, official voices have dominated U.S. network newscasts, while opponents of the war have been notably underrepresented, according to a study by FAIR. Starting the day after the bombing of Iraq began on March 19, the three-week study (3/20/03-4/9/03) looked at 1,617 on-camera sources appearing in stories about Iraq on the evening newscasts of six television networks and news channels....Nearly two thirds of all sources, 64 percent, were pro-war, while 71 percent of U.S. guests favored the war. Anti-war voices were 10 percent of all sources, but just 6 percent of non-Iraqi sources and 3 percent of U.S. sources. Thus viewers were more than six times as likely to see a pro-war source as one who was anti-war; with U.S. guests alone, the ratio increases to 25 to 1."

Bush Accused by Lords of the Bar Nat Hentoff The Village Voice
Friday 19 September 2003 "Ignored by most media, an array of prominent federal judges, government officials, and other members of the legal establishment has joined in a historic rebellion against George W. Bush's unprecedented and unconstitutional arrogance of power that threatens the fundamental right of American citizens to have access to their lawyers before disappearing indefinitely into military custody without charges, without seeing an attorney or anyone except their guards. The case, Padilla v. Rumsfeld, is now before the Second Circuit Court of Appeals. In a compelling friend-of-the-court brief on Padilla's behalf by an extraordinary gathering of the aforementioned former federal court judges, district court judges, and other legal luminaries of the establishment bar, they charge: "This case involves an unprecedented detention by the United States of an American citizen, seized on American soil, and held incommunicado for more than a year without any charge being filed against him, without any access to counsel, and without any right to challenge the basis of his detention before a United States judge or magistrate"
