Illinois Priest, Five Others Plead Guilty to Making, Distributing 'date-Rape' Drug 5/22/02 - "Davenport, Iowa (AP) - A suspended Roman Catholic priest pleaded guilty Wednesday to conspiracy to manufacture and distribute the "date-rape" drug known as GHB." http://ap.tbo.com/ap/breaking/MGAF9GHLJ1D.html ABC: Wis. Bishop Settled Sex Claim - 5/23/02 - Milwaukee - Archbishop Rembert Weakland, who has adopted a zero tolerance policy toward abusive priests, agreed in 1998 to pay $450,000 to a man who accused him of sex assault, according to documents cited Thursday by ABC News. The report came a day after the Roman Catholic bishop of Lexington, Ky., temporarily stepped aside from his pastoral duties in the wake of a lawsuit filed by a man for alleged sexual abuse.

Edsall Washington Post Staff Writer Wednesday, May 22, 2002; Page A01 The Justice Department disclosed yesterday it will file suit in three Florida counties charging voting rights violations in the 2000 presidential election, a move designed to prevent ballot box problems this year and beyond.....The suits would not seek to overturn the presidential election's results, which ultimately were decided by the U.S. Supreme Court. Instead, they would try to ensure that local governments take specific actions to safeguard voting rights in future elections.....Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass.), who chaired the hearing, said he welcomed Boyd's announcement. "But I question why these investigations have taken 18 months," Kennedy said. "The administration claims that it is committed to civil rights, but very little is being done to enforce the laws that protect our civil rights." http://www.wired.com/news/conflict/0,2100,52739,00.html Act Would OK Snail Mail Searches By Declan McCullagh 2:00 a.m. May 23, 2002 PDT WASHINGTON -- Just a few years ago, the U.S. Postal Service got savaged by privacy advocates after suggesting that private mailbox services were somehow objectionable. Since services like Mailboxes Etc. could encourage fraud, the post office declared, businesses must limit anonymity by demanding photo ID from all customers. Three years later, the Postal Service's lobbyists are fighting for Americans' privacy rights -- and opposing a bill in Congress that would allow U.S. Customs agents to open any internationally-mailed letter or parcel for almost any reason. So far, the Postal Service has had little luck: On Wednesday, the U.S. House of Representatives approved the new surveillance powers by a 327 to 101 vote. The bill, titled the Customs Border Security Act, says that incoming or outgoing mail can be searched at the border "without a search warrant." <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/";>www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
