Mandatory UN School Pledge Has Parents on Warpath - http://swiftreport.blogs.com/news/2005/07/pledge_to_unite.html - When fourth-grade teacher Coco Duhamel decided to substitute a pledge to the United Nations for the increasingly controversial Pledge of Allegiance,she never imagined that her homage to unity would prove so divisive.Now the parents of one boy say that unless Duhamel stops the daily praise to the UN,they'll pull their son out of class-and teach him about the Oil-for-Food-Scandal at home. The wages of fundamentalism - Peter Watson International Herald Tribune JUNE 22,2005 - CAMBRIDGE,England For decades,big science-indeed any kind of science - has been led by the United States.There are warning signs,however, that American science is losing its edge,and may even have peaked.One reason is that as religious and political fundamentalism tighten their grip, they are beginning to sap Americas intellectual vitality. By contrast,the political turmoil that has broken out on the other side of the Atlantic shows that Europeans grasp how destructive fundamentalism can be.According to a survey in Physical Review, reported in May 2004, the number of scientific papers published by West European authors had overtaken those by U.S. authors in 2003, whereas in 1983 there were three American authors for every West European. The percentage of patents granted to American scientists has been falling since 1980, from 60.2 percent of the world total to 51.8 percent. In 1989, America trained the same number of science and engineering PhDs as Britain, Germany and France put together; now the United States is 5 percent behind. The number of citations in science journals, hitherto led by American scientists, is now led by Europeans. As battles have raged in Kansas and elsewhere in America over evolution and Genesis, reputable biologists have spoken up in favor of Darwin's theories, but who knows how many students have already been turned off biology by these skirmishes? As a result of fundamentalist opposition, America is already falling behind in cloning and stem cell research, now led by South Korean, Italian and British scientists. In February the New Scientist reported a survey in which fully half the scientists working for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said they had been pushed to alter or withdraw scientific findings for political reasons. Since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, the number of Chinese and Indians traveling to America to study has fallen by more than 50 per cent - they are going to Europe instead. There are now as many Asian PhDs being produced as U.S ones,more and more of them familiar with Europe. Yet history shows that fundamentalism leads only to stagnation and disaster. Look back at the four great eras of fundamentalism in world history. Under the influence of the Israelite zealots in the centuries before Christ, ancient Israel dropped behind the surrounding civilizations both politically and materially, and provoked the Romans, who annihilated them, sparking a diaspora which lasted 2,000 years. Christianity in the Roman Empire led to half a millennium of dark ages, ending only with the rediscovery of Aristotle in the 12th century. Ascetic Buddhist fundamentalism in China from the fourth century to the ninth century resulted in 4,600 monasteries being destroyed, before the Song renaissance released the finest flowering of Chinese civilization. And Islamic fundamentalism beginning in Baghdad around 1067 led to a millennium of backwardness, which still afflicts the Islamic world. By contrast,the very history of modern Europe-the scientific revolution, the Enlightenment, the modernist battles of the 19th century-may be characterized as the victory of rationalism and science over religious dogmatism.Europe is the birthplace of science.It was in the universities of Europe,in the 12th and 13th centuries,that the experiment was conceived and the testing of hypotheses became a rival form of authority to that of the church, creating the accuracy, efficiency and prosperity on which the modern world is founded.

Washington and Teheran, Jul. 2, 2005 -- First Iranian President-elect Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was said to have been one of the captors of U.S. embassy hostages in Teheran in 1979. Now Ahmadinejad stands accused of being a roving Iranian assassin. It has been revealed from sources in Teheran that in 1979 Ahmadinejad did not wear a beard and that the person seen in the photo is Taqi Mohammadi, a former militant who committed suicide in jail. The supposed AP photo that surfaced after Ahmadinejad's election victory was shopped around by Iran Focus, an anti-regime group with ties to the US Alliance for Democratic Iran, and the neo-con Foundation for the Defense of Democracies (FDD). The still photo has now been supplemented by color video footage showing the Ahmadinejad look-alike Mohammadi. Some of the ex-U.S. hostages who now claim, over 25 years later, that Ahmadinejad was one of their captors, have strong connections to GOP and conservative politics. FDD's principal players include Newt Gingrich, James Woolsey (the friend and supporter of Ahmad Chalabi and his Iraqi National Congress), Gary Bauer, Richard Perle, Cliff May, Zell Miller, Jeane Kirkpatrick, and Tucker Carlson's father, Richard Carlson. Perle, in turn, is a primary supporter of the Iranian exile People's Mujaheddin (Mujaheddin-e-Khalq/MEK), a group designated a terrorist organization by the U.S. State Department and which operates unhindered from U.S.-occupied Iraq. The MEK and its affiliated arm, the National Council of Resistance, have now surface as the likely source of another story claiming that Ahmadinejad was an assassin sent to Vienna in 1989 to kill Kurdish opposition leader Abdul Rahman Ghassemlou. This story was first shopped to a Prague paper, which claimed its source was Hossein Yazdan Panah, and Iranian Kurdish activist based in U.S.-occupied Iraq. The story was then was picked up by Austrian Green Party official Peter Pilz, who claims his source for the story is a mysterious "Witness D," an Iranian journalist based in Paris, a city known as a major operational base for the MEK. (This is very reminiscent of Ahmad Chalabi's "Curveball" source, the congenital liar and drunkard who claimed first hand knowledge of Saddam Hussein's mobile biological weapons labs, charges later proven to be fraudulent). Ahmad Chalabi, now Iraq's Oil Minister, was a math professor at the American University in Beirut in the 1970s and, according to a longtime ABC correspondent in the Middle East, was known as SAVAK's man in Beirut. (SAVAK was the Shah of Iran's feared intelligence service some of whose members were trained by the U.S. and Israel). Anyone who wanted to visit Iraqi Kurdistan in those days had to go see Chalabi, who would then arrange for passage to Iraqi Kurdistan through Iran. The new allegations against Ahmadinejad have all the hallmarks of yet another neo-con disinformation ploy to justify military action against Iran at a time when U.S. forces are caught in a deeper quagmire in neighboring Iraq.

There is much speculation on the identity of the CIA station chief in Milan who is wanted by the Italians. Italian sources claim he is a Honduran-American but other sources report that Robert Seldon Lady, once attached to the US Consulate General in Milan, is the individual cited as the station chief. Nevertheless, the entire kidnaping operation is said to have been run out of the Pentagon's Intelligence Directorate with overall control exercised by the National Security Council. Under orders from CIA Directors George Tenet and Porter Goss, some CIA Special Activities Division paramilitary personnel have reportedly been assigned to work with the Pentagon's Task Force 121covert units, as was the case in the Italian operation.

Since the story broke, O'Donnell has confirmed a second source claiming the Time documents finger Rove as the leaker. My own very reliable Washington source, a senior news editor, has also confirmed that Rove is the leaker of Plame's identity. That leak rolled up Valerie Plame's intelligence assets and informants as well as other non-official cover Brewster Jennings Associates agents, causing irreparable harm to our national security. At a minimum, Rove faces a perjury indictment. At most, he can also be charged with making a false statement and violating the Intelligence Identities Protection Act of 1982. CIA sources report that at least one anonymous star placed on the CIA's Wall of Honor at its Langley, Virginia headquarters is a clandestine agent who was executed in a hostile foreign nation as a direct result of the White House leak. Rove could be looking at a lengthy prison term. Many Nixon officials spent years in prison for doing much less. font font fontLarry O'Donnell says Rove is leaker of Plame's name font fontRove testified under oath before a federal grand jury that he only talked to the press about Plame after her name appeared in columnist Robert Novak's column. Time's documents would mean that Rove lied under oath, which is perjury. Even Novak, who cannot speak on advice of his counsel, said people will be "surprised" when the name of the source is revealed. John McLaughlin, a former Nixon aide and consummate Washington insider, likely knew of O'Donnell's revelations before the show aired, another indication that the Rove-as-leaker story has legs.

TITLE 18 - CRIMES AND CRIMINAL PROCEDUREChapter 79 - Perjury Section 1621. Perjury generally. Whoever - (1) having taken an oath before a competent tribunal, officer, or person, in any case in which a law of the United States authorizes an oath to be administered, that he will testify, declare, depose, or certify truly, or that any written testimony, declaration, deposition, or certificate by him subscribed, is true, willfully and contrary to such oath states or subscribes any material matter which he does not believe to be true; or(2) in any declaration, certificate, verification, or statement under penalty of perjury as permitted under section 1746 of title 28, United States Code, willfully subscribes as true any material matter which he does not believe to be true;is guilty of perjury and shall, except as otherwise expressly provided by law, be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both. This section is applicable whether the statement or subscription is made within or without the United States. fontThe only problem is that Fitzgerald is an Ashcroft appointee and Attorney General Alberto Gonzales was Bush's White House counsel when Plame's name was leaked. Although Gonzales and other Justice Department staffers who worked for Gonzales at the White House have recused themselves from the Plame case, one wonders what that actually means in such a corrupt administration. Also, a major White House scandal from the Plame case could sink Gonzales' chances for a Supreme Court nomination since he will be required to testify before the Senate Judiciary Commitee under oath and will assuredly be asked questions about the case if Rove is indicted. font

But the Bush regime has been particularly reckless. Take for example the triangle Iran, Iraq, the United States. The history is well-known. The first famous CIA intervention anywhere was in Iran, way back in 1953. At that time, Iran had a prime minister named Mohamed Mossadegh, a secular middle-class politician who had the audacity to nationalize Iranian oil. The shah went into exile. Great Britain and the U.S. were quite unhappy about this and they backed, indeed inspired, a military coup to arrest Mossadegh and restore the shah to his throne. From then on, the shah's Iran became a close ally of the United States. Shah Reza Pahlevi's regime was authoritarian and very repressive but this didn't bother the U.S. since he was a pillar of pro-U.S. forces in the Middle East.Finally, the shah's regime was overthrown by a popular uprising in 1979 and the shah went into exile once again. This time the dominant forces turned out to be not secular nationalists but Islamic militants led by the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. An Islamic republic was proclaimed. And within a year, Iranian militants seized the U.S. embassy and kept those they found there prisoners for 444 days. The U.S., needless to say, was quite unhappy once again. Iran proclaimed the U.S. the Great Satan, and the U.S. in turn now considered Iran a total enemy. President Carter's attempt to liberate the U.S. embassy prisoners by force turned out to be a fiasco. And President Reagan got them out only by making a secret deal, returning frozen Iranian assets for their release.The U.S. decided the best way to handle the Iranians was to encourage the president of Iraq, one Saddam Hussein, to invade Iran, which he did in 1980. Iran is of course a largely Shia Muslim country. And Iraq has a very large number of Shia Muslims who however have been kept from participation in power by Sunni Arab politicians since Iraq's creation as a modern sovereign state. In 1983, Pres. Reagan sent one Donald Rumsfeld as a special envoy to meet Saddam Hussein, to encourage him in his war efforts, to offer him direct and indirect forms of assistance (including some elements of biological warfare), to remove Iraq from the U.S. list of states aiding terrorist groups, and in general to coddle Saddam. The Iran-Iraq war lasted eight years, was extremely costly to both sides in both casualties and money, and finally ended in exhaustion, with the troops back at the starting-point. It was a military truce, but of course the political enmity persisted.Saddam Hussein, as we know, found it difficult to repay the debts he had contracted in order to conduct this war, especially Iraq's large debts to Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. He decided to cancel the debts and satisfy long-standing nationalist claims in one fell swoop by invading Kuwait in 1990. Now at last the U.S. turned against Saddam Hussein, leading a U.N.-sanctioned coalition to oust Iraq from Kuwait with, among other things, the tacit support of Iran. The war ended with various kinds of double crosses. Saddam had sent much of his air force to Iran to keep it safe from U.S. bombing. After the war ended, Iran refused to return the planes. The Shia in Iraq rose up in rebellion against Saddam Hussein during the Gulf War, but the U.S. refused to help them after the truce with Saddam, although the U.S. eventually did enforce a no-fly zone over Shia areas - too late, however, to prevent Saddam from his revenge on the Shia rebels.Everyone was a bit unhappy with the de facto truce betwen 1991 and 2001. The neo-cons in the U.S. felt that the U.S. had been humiliated by the fact that Saddam remained in power. Saddam was unhappy because of a U.S.-led economic boycott and U.N.-decreed limitations on Iraq's sovereignty concerning the sale of oil. Iraqi Shia (and Kurds) were unhappy because Saddam was still in power, and the U.S. had let them down. And Iran was unhappy because Saddam was still in power, because the Iraqi Shia were still suffering, and because the U.S. was still too much a force in the region.When September 11 occurred, the neo-cons seized the opportunity to get Bush to focus on a war on Iraq. As we know, the invasion would finally occur in 2003, resulting in the overthrow of Saddam. At the time, George W. Bush denounced the "axis of evil" - a trio of Iraq, Iran, and North Korea. The U.S. had now decided to be against both the Iraqi and the Iranian regimes simultaneously, but to take on Iraq militarily first. It is quite clear that in 2003

So you would be forced to accept a false choice between a right-wing world government and a left-wing world government.Many prominent 9/11 researchers, either unwittingly or deliberately, have promulgated this dangerous notion, stating for example that we need a 'global democracy' to defeat the evil right-wing Neo-Cons.~~~The Real Origins Of The 9/11 Truth MovementPaul Joseph Watson | May 3 2005Four years ago in May 2001, I watched a British Channel 4 documentary about Alex Jones' infiltration into Bohemian Grove. At first glance the show seemed to be a hit piece aimed at discrediting Alex and his work. But I wanted to make sure so I visited Alex's website and started listening to his radio show.Alex was gripped with anguish and apprehension. He was talking about how the government were about to carry out an act of terrorism to bolster the construction of a police state and a new world order.Alex dubbed his campaign 'Expose the Government Terrorists' and urged his listeners to call the White House and tell them to call off the operation.He gave out White House switchboard numbers on his radio and television show on a daily basis.On his television show Alex elaborated on the fact that the Globalists were about to use their asset Osama bin Laden to attack New York. Alex is not psychic. He did not have a crystal ball. He was able to make the call because he could see the conditioning in the media. Bin laden is a threat, bin Laden will attack. When bin Laden attacks, give up your rights.This was the incessantly replayed mantra from the controlled media.Click here for a clip from Alex's TV show, taped on July 25th 2001.I watched all this develop before I even spoke to Alex Jones or started my own website.Alex predicted the 9/11 attack BEFORE it happened.On the day of the attack Alex called in to the Derry Brownfield show which was being broadcast on GCN before Alex's own show came on air.Alex was adamant that the government were behind the attack. They had been conditioning the public before the attack and they had the most to gain from carrying out the attack.While others were squabbling over issues of prior knowledge, Alex was firm in pointing the finger directly at the criminals inside the Military-Industrial Complex for being intimately involved in 9/11.The evidence is now overwhelming and clear that this is exactly what happened.In the days and weeks following 9/11, Alex was the first to draw attention to the crucial testimony of people like David Shippers and Greg Palast, respectable figures blowing the whistle on government connections and protection of the terrorists.Greg Palast thanked Alex for being the only radio host to pay attention to W199I, a leaked document concerning FBI protected of groups linked to Al-Qaeda.In mid to late 2004 several prominent self-proclaimed 9/11 ringleaders started talking about the fact that wargames were used as a cover for the operational execution of the 9/11 attack. Alex was talking about this two years beforehand in his film, Masters of Terror and again in an April 2004 television show, a clip of which can be viewed here.I point out these examples not to lionize Alex Jones as some kind of messiah but in response to the claims of many researchers that they are the 'grandfather' of the 9/11 truth movement or words to that effect.It is disturbing to note that in many instances these same researchers have been seen to push obvious frauds like the peak oil theory.At least three years ago Alex Jones warned people that the establishment would allow the truth about 9/11 to get out simply because it was too big a monster to hide.Alex pointed out however that the establishment would spin the issue to make people believe that the evil right-wing American imperialists were behind the terrorism and so the only solution would be a left-wing world government to counter them. So you would be forced to accept a false choice between a right-wing world government and a left-wing world government.Many prominent 9/11 researchers, either unwittingly or deliberately, have promulgated this dangerous notion, stating for example that we need a 'global democracy' to defeat the evil right-wing Neo-Cons.The fact that these individuals have been labelled the 'godfathers of the 9/11 movement' is therefore a worrying development. This has given them

McBride [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [JBirch] House Votes To Undercut High Court On Property Federal Funds Tied To Eminent Domain House Votes To Undercut High Court On Property Federal Funds Tied To Eminent Domain By Mike Allen and Charles Babington Washington Post Staff Writers Friday, July 1, 2005; A01 The House voted yesterday to use the spending power of Congress to undermine a Supreme Court ruling allowing local governments to force the sale of private property for economic development purposes. Key members of the House and Senate vowed to take even broader steps soon. Last week's 5 to 4 decision has drawn a swift and visceral backlash from an unusual coalition of conservatives concerned about property rights and liberals worried about the effect on poor people, whose property is often vulnerable to condemnation because it does not generate a lot of revenue. The House measure, which passed 231 to 189, would deny federal funds to any city or state project that used eminent domain to force people to sell their property to make way for a profit-making project such as a hotel or mall. Historically, eminent domain has been used mainly for public purposes such as highways or airports. The measure, an amendment to an appropriations bill, would apply to funds administered by the departments of Transportation, Treasury, and Housing and Urban Development. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-Tex.) and Majority Whip Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) said they will push for a more inclusive measure that would apply to all federal funds. A fact sheet said under the bill the locality or state would lose any federal funds that would contribute in any way to the project the property would be taken for. The vote marks the latest of several congressional moves to curb a judiciary that some lawmakers consider out of touch with average Americans. It came as conservative groups attacked a month-old bipartisan deal that ended Senate filibusters of several appellate court nominees and as some legislators anxiously watched for a possible Supreme Court retirement. Activists said the 5 to 4 ruling will be a centerpiece of their efforts to motivate conservatives and libertarians for a confirmation fight after a vacancy opens on the court. It's so bad, it's good, said Sean Rushton, executive director of the Committee for Justice, which works closely with the White House. DeLay called it a horrible decision and said lawmakers' intervention is part of an effort to assert the responsibility and the authority of the Congress to be a check on the judiciary. This Congress is not going to just sit by -- idly sit by -- and let an unaccountable judiciary make these kinds of decisions without taking our responsibility and our duty given to us by the Constitution to be a check on the judiciary, he said during a rare appearance in the House Radio-Television Gallery. Sen. John Cornyn (R-Tex.) introduced a similar measure and immediately drew a Democratic co-sponsor, Sen. Bill Nelson (Fla.), as well as Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa.), who is number three in his party's leadership. The House bill is sponsored by Judiciary Committee Chairman F. James Sensenbrenner Jr. (R-Wis.). Its Democratic co-sponsors include Reps. John Conyers Jr. (Mich.), Maxine Waters (Calif.) and Peter A. DeFazio (Ore.). The conservative Family Research Council sent an e-mail urging followers to contact their lawmakers to support the legislation. The council said the decision strips the rights of private citizens by granting the government power to seize your home and transfer it to a private developer. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) criticized the measure. When you withhold funds from enforcing a decision of the Supreme Court, you are in fact nullifying a decision of the Supreme Court, she told reporters. This is in violation of the

[CTRL] Fwd: [cia-drugs] How Holmgren distorts evidence
-Caveat Lector- Begin forwarded message:From: Bob [EMAIL PROTECTED]Date: July 3, 2005 7:51:52 PM PDTTo: undisclosed-recipients:;Subject: [cia-drugs] How Holmgren distorts evidenceReply-To: cia-drugs@yahoogroups.com Lt Col Art Holbo's nazi hoes are taking Joel Sucherman out of the video where he stands with Mike Walter and completes Walter's testimony. I see Mike Walter point to the Rt 27 overpass a few feet away, give his account, then Joel Sucherman takes over to describe the crash. Funny, Gerard Holmgren and Brian Gumbel are nowhere to be seen. Similar to the DVD where the fire hose or foam spray obscures the wing hole in the Pentagon west wall, while Holbo's devotee narrates that the hole(the upper fuselage hole) is too small for AA77, the Boeing 757 which was seen to crash there. Are you tired of fuzzy bin Laden videos and bloodless beheading videos and planeless small plane videos? Well Holmgren has a Sucherman-Walter video for you with no Joel Sucherman in it, but a lot of some fuzzy, bloodless, plane-less spin doctor in it. Nothing is left to the prurient imagination unless you take Joel Sucherman out of the video. They walk the very ground, on camera, about which Gerard Holmgren meanly puffs and poses in his pedantic effort to fulfil propaganda officer Holbo's deepest yearnings and wildest fantasies. Or, to use his metaphor, Holmgren "cherrypicks" by choosing to hear from Walter alone, not Sucherman and Walter in tandem, when they are featured in the same video, walking the ground together about which Holmgren and Ibid Ferry feign to inform us. That's the local DC channel 9 Eyewitness news video from minutes after the crash, where Lt Col Art Holbo, USAF propaganda officer, preps for his nazi ho Pentagon small-plane Big Lie security cam video which could not be released until FBI mopped up all local area security cam videos, USAF's small plane vid showing us as much small plane as a Nick Berg beheading shows blood, then these nazi hoes suck Holbo's toes by "cherry-picking" which videos, which witnesses from the same frame, as we have to put up with Ibid Ferry's life of federal corruption coverup. Do not forsake me, oh my darling, ever blinkered nightful nazi hoes, for whom your tumbrels really roll. Blinkered night his window broke. More HMX from sidewalk nazi hoes, shanghai sunshine willing no one. ...Bring It On. -Bob Rosalee Grable wrote: http://nyc.indymedia.org/newswire/display_any/154107#154726 How Hoffman distorts evidence by *Gerard Holmgren* .. Mike Walter's account: I mean it was like a cruise missile with wings. It went right there and slammed right into the Pentagon. while leaving out the earlier part of his account: I looked out my window and I saw this plane, this jet, an American Airlines jet, coming. And I thought, 'This doesn't add up, it's really low.' In the context of his full account, it is clear that Walter was using "cruise missile with wings" to describe the way the plane was being flown, not the kind of plane he saw. ]].http://members.iinet.net.au/~holmgren/witness2.html http://members.iinet.net.au/%7Eholmgren/witness2.html Below is a summary of what my research on Walter found, but I recommend reading the link above to get the full picture Hoffman says "In the context of his full account..." And exactly *which* full account would that be, Jim ? Perhaps the one where he told Bryant Gumbel that he saw a full on impact, ""I was on an elevated area of Highway 27 and I had a very good view. I was stuck in traffic. We weren't moving and--and I could see over in the distance the American Airlines jet as it kind of banked around, pivoted and then took a steep dive right into the Pentagon." and then when Gumbel responded with GUMBEL: Did you see it hit the Pentagon? Was the plane coming in horizontally or did it, in fact, go on its wing as--as it impacted the building? To which Walter responded with Mr. WALTER: You know, the--the--the--there were trees there that kind of obstructed it, so I kind of--I saw it go in. I'm not sure if it turned at an angle. I've heard some people say that's what it did. All I know is it--it created a huge explosion and massive fireball and--and you knew instantaneously that--that everybody on that plane was dead. It was completely eviscerated. " So Walter's claim to have seen the plane hit the building lasted all of 5 secs before he backed off the claim. And just to make sure, later in the interview GUMBEL: Tell me, if you could, about the manner in which the--the plane struck the building Mr. WALTER: Well, as I said, you know, there were trees obstructing my view, so I saw it as it went--and then the--then the trees, and then I saw the--the fireball and the smoke. Some people have said that the plane actually sent on its side and in that way. But I can't tell you, Bryant. I just know that what I saw was this massive fireball, a huge explosion and--and

-Caveat Lector- scroll Cornwall sex abuse suit names Vatican - Canadian Press 7/3/05 Toronto - "The Vatican and the College of Cardinals are among those named in a sex abuse lawsuit to be filed this week in Cornwall, Ont. LeDroit Beckett, a London, Ont.-based law firm, is filing the suit on behalf of Andrien St. Louis, who claims he was abused by a Roman Catholic bishop and priest. Retired bishop Eugene LaRocque, who lives in Windsor, Ont., and a deceased priest, Donald Scott, are named in the suit. The Holy See, the College of Cardinals, Cardinal Aloysius Ambrozic of Toronto, the Diocese of Alexandria-Cornwall and the Diocese of London are accused of negligence and vicarious liability of their employees. None of these allegations have been proven in court." "An affidavit sworn in 1996 by Ron Leroux, a 58-year-old painting contractor who lived in Cornwall but is now based in Maine, says as a boy he witnessed a "clan'' of pedophiles abusing young boys in a variety of ways. Leroux, who claimed he was abused by several priests, said the "ritual went on on a weekly basis.''" http://www.canada.com/national/nationalpost/news/toronto/story.html?id=df849594-6b59-484e-8809-9a957f861d2c this one fwd from L Moss Sharman - Former soldier says he was sprayed with chemicals at CFB Gagetown 6/30/05 "A veteran who served at CFB Gagetown, in New Brunswick, has stepped forward with allegations he and others were deliberately sprayed with chemicals in the spring of 1967.

They have found themselves not at Guantánamo Bay or Abu Ghraib but in America's own federal prison system, victims of the misuse of the federal material witness law in the U.S. government's fight against terrorism. www.ctrl.org DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.
