The complaints follow a public appeal by Circuit Attorney Jennifer Joyce's office last week for information about possible cases of sexual abuse by current or former Roman Catholic priests." http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A34600-2002Mar29.html Settlement eyed in R.I. priest cases - By Globe Staff, 3/29/02 - "Lawyers for both the Diocese of Providence and 38 alleged victims of sexual abuse by Rhode Island priests confirmed yesterday that they met this week with a judge to discuss a settlement of the decade-old case....The Globe reported this month that the alleged victims have been waiting for up to 10 years to settle lawsuits against 11 priests and a nun.

In November 2000, Republicans stole from America our most precious right of all: the right to free and fair elections. In an organized manner, Florida Governor Jeb Bush and his Secretary of State Katherine Harris created a list of convicted felons--57, 700 to be exact--to "scrub" from the state's voter rolls. The names were created from Florida records and from lists provided by 11 other states, the largest list coming from Texas. We now know that most of the people on that list were innocent of crimes. The list was a phony. And worse, the majority of these rightful voters were people of color and likely Democratic voters. Of the thousands who ultimately lost their vote through this scrub of voters, 80% are African-American. Had they voted, the course of history would have changed: Harris declared Bush the victor by only 537 votes. President Carter has said that the Carter Center would not certify the US 2000 Presidential elections had they had been asked to do so..... Moreover, persons close to this Administration are poised to make huge profits off America's new war. Former President Bush sits on the board of the Carlyle Group. The Los Angeles Times reports that on a single day last month, Carlyle earned $237 million selling shares in United Defense Industries, the Army's fifth-largest contractor. The stock offering was well timed: Carlyle officials say they decided to take the company public only after the Sept. 11 attacks. The stock sale cashed in on increased congressional support for hefty defense spending, including one of United Defense's cornerstone weapon programs. http://www.nytimes.com/2002/03/29/business/29WHIT.html The Pentagon Opens Inquiry on Travels in Military Jet By CHRISTOPHER MARQUIS WASHINGTON, March 28 — The Pentagon's inspector general is looking into the recent travels of Army Secretary Thomas E. White amid concerns that he may have used a military jet for personal travel, officials said today. Mr. White and his wife traveled to Colorado in an army jet earlier this month. During the trip they spent some of their time concluding the sale of a $6.5 million home in Aspen. http://zdnet.com.com/2100-1105-870178.html Judge: FBI must cough up Carnivore info By Gwendolyn Mariano Special to ZDNet News March 27, 2002, 4:45 PM PT Privacy advocates have won another round in their fight to gain access to more information about the FBI's Carnivore e-mail surveillance system. A federal judge this week ordered the FBI to expand its search for records about Carnivore, also known as DCS1000, technology that is installed at Internet service providers to monitor e-mail from criminal suspects. The court denied a motion for summary judgment and ordered the FBI to produce within 60 days "a further search" of its records pertaining to Carnivore as well as a device called EtherPeek, which manages network traffic. The FBI has defended Carnivore by assuring the public that it only captures e-mail and other online information authorized for seizure in a court order, but the Electronic Privacy Information Center ( EPIC) has voiced concerns over potential abuse. EPIC sued the FBI, the investigative arm of the Justice Department, in July 2000 under the Freedom of Information Act so it could examine Carnivore-related documents. <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/";>www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
