Prosecutors said he and a 15-year-old companion snatched the children Friday outside a South Side library and planned to carve a pentagram in the girl's chest.Rodriguez apparently needed only the girl, so he released her 8-year-old brother, who told people on the street about the kidnapping, Cook County Assistant State's Attorney Tracy Senica said.Police found the girl unharmed at Rodriguez's home, and they arrested Rodriguez when he returned with candles and incense.Rodriguez was charged with two counts of aggravated kidnapping, police spokesman John Mirabelli said.His grandfather, Julian Rodriguez, called the accusations "ridiculous." He said his grandson was a "good kid."Copyright 2005 The Associated Press.

[CTRL] Fwd: [IPCUSA] Fitzgerald Targets Rove Again
-Caveat Lector- Begin forwarded message:From: Milo [EMAIL PROTECTED]Date: November 28, 2005 7:24:13 AM PSTTo: George [EMAIL PROTECTED]Subject: [IPCUSA] Fitzgerald Targets Rove AgainReply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fitzgerald Targets Rove Again By Jason Leopold t r u t h o u t | Investigative Report http://www.truthout.org/docs_2005/112805Z.shtml Monday 28 November 2005 Continuing his two-year-old investigation into the leak of ValeriePlame Wilson's identity as a covert CIA agent, Special Prosecutor PatrickFitzgerald will present evidence to a second grand jury this week that couldlead to a criminal indictment being handed up against Karl Rove, PresidentBush's deputy chief of staff, sources inside the investigation said over theweekend. For the past month, Rove has remained under intense scrutiny byFitzgerald's office. During that time Fitzgerald, according to thesesources, has acquired evidence that Rove tried to cover up his role in theleak by withholding crucial facts from investigators and the grand jury onthree separate occasions, beginning in October 2003, about a conversation hehad with Time magazine reporter Matthew Cooper, as well as not beingtruthful about the reasons that call was not logged by his office. Rove's conversation with Cooper took place a week or so beforePlame Wilson's identity was first revealed, in a July 14, 2003, columnpublished by conservative journalist Robert Novak. Cooper had written hisown story about Plame Wilson a few days later. During previous testimony before the grand jury, Rove said hefirst learned Plame Wilson's name from reporters - specifically, fromNovak's column - and only after her name was published did he discuss PlameWilson's CIA status with other journalists. That sequence of events,however, as described by Rove during his grand jury testimony, has turnedout not to be true, and his reasons for not being forthcoming have notconvinced Fitzgerald that Rove had a momentary lapse, according to sources. Still, Robert Luskin, Rove's lawyer, maintains that his client hasnot intentionally withheld facts from the prosecutor or the grand jury buthad simply forgotten about his conversations with Cooper, the sources said. Luskin would not return calls for comment. Fitzgerald will present evidence to the grand jury later thisweek, obtained from other witnesses who were interviewed by the SpecialProsecutor or who testified, showing that Rove lied during the three timeshe testified under oath and that he made misleading statements to JusticeDepartment and FBI investigators in an attempt to cover up his role in theleak when he was first interviewed about it in October 2003, the sourcessaid. The most serious charges Rove faces are making false statements toinvestigators and obstruction of justice, the sources said. He does notappear to be in jeopardy of violating the law making it a crime to leak thename of a covert CIA agent, because it's unlikely that Rove was unaware thatPlame Wilson was undercover, the sources said. However, according to the sources, two things are very clear:either Rove will agree to enter into a plea deal with Fitzgerald or he willbe charged with a crime, but he will not be exonerated for the role heplayed in the leak, based on numerous internal conversations Fitzgerald hashad with his staff. If Rove does agree to enter into a plea, Fitzgerald isnot expected to discuss any aspect of his probe into Rove, because Rove maybe called to testify as a prosecution witness against Lewis "Scooter" Libby,the former chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney. Libby was indictedlast month on five counts of lying to investigators, perjury, andobstruction of justice related to his role in the leak. Moreover, a second high-ranking official in the Bushadministration also faces the possibility of indictment for making falsestatements to investigators about his role in the leak: National SecurityAdviser Stephen Hadley. Hadley had been interviewed in 2004 about his role in the leak andhad vehemently denied speaking to reporters about Plame Wilson, the sourcessaid. However, these sources have identified Hadley as sharing informationabout Plame Wilson with Washington Post editor Bob Woodward, whose stunningrevelation two weeks ago - that he was the first journalist to learn ofPlame Wilson's identity in mid-June 2003 and had kept that fact secret fortwo years - led Fitzgerald to return to a second grand jury. A spokeswomanat the National Security Council denied that Hadley was Woodward's source.Hadley, on the other hand, would neither confirm nor deny that he wasWoodward's source when he was questioned by reporters two weeks ago.Woodward testified two weeks ago about what he knew and when he knew it.Woodward would not publicly reveal the identity of his source. Rove had emailed Hadley following the conversation he had withCooper

This week a Brazilian priest was given a lengthy jail sentence after a court heard extracts from a diary that read like a paedophile priest's how-to manual.

[CTRL] Fwd: GUILTY: Republican Chairman of House Intelligence Subcommittee on Terrorism
-Caveat Lector- Begin forwarded message: CALIF. CONGRESSMAN ADMITS TAKING BRIBES CALIF. REP. RANDY 'DUKE' CUNNINGHAM PLEADS GUILTY, ADMITTING TO TAKING $2.4 MILLION IN BRIBES By ELLIOT SPAGAT The Associated Press SAN DIEGO - Rep. Randy Duke Cunningham pleaded guilty Monday to conspiracy and tax charges, admitting taking $2.4 million in bribes in a case that grew from an investigation into the sale of his home to a wide-ranging conspiracy involving payments in cash, vacations and antiques. Cunningham, 63, entered pleas in U.S. District Court to charges of conspiracy to commit bribery, mail fraud and wire fraud, and tax evasion for underreporting his income in 2004. Cunningham answered yes, Your Honor when asked by U.S. District Judge Larry Burns if he had accepted bribes from someone in exchange for his performance of official duties. Cunningham, an eight-term Republican congressman, announced in July that he wouldn't seek re-election next year. But it was not immediately clear whether he hoped to keep his seat for the remainder of the current term. He planned to address reporters at a news conference later in the morning. House Ethics rules say that any lawmaker convicted of a felony no longer should vote or participate in committee work. Under Republican caucus rules, Cunningham also would lose his chairmanship of the House Intelligence subcommittee on terrorism and human intelligence. The former Vietnam War flying ace is known on Capitol Hill for his interest in defense issues and his occasional temperamental outbursts. After the hearing, Cunningham was taken away for fingerprinting. He will be released on his own recognizance until a Feb. 27 sentencing hearing. He could receive a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison. He also agreed to forfeit to the government his Rancho Santa Fe home, more than $1.8 million in cash and antiques and rugs. In a statement, prosecutors said Cunningham admitted to receiving at least $2.4 million in bribes paid to him by several conspirators through a variety of methods, including checks totaling over $1 million, cash, rugs, antiques, furniture, yacht club fees and vacations. He did the worst thing an elected official can do: he enriched himself through his position and violated the trust of those who put him there, U.S. Attorney Carol Lam said. The statement did not identify the conspirators. The case began when authorities started investigating whether Cunningham and his wife, Nancy, used the proceeds from the $1,675,000 sale to defense contractor Mitchell Wade to buy a $2.55 million mansion in ritzy Rancho Santa Fe. Wade put the Del Mar house back on the market and sold it after nearly a year for $975,000 a loss of $700,000. He drew little notice outside his San Diego-area district before the San Diego Union-Tribune reported last June that he'd sold the home to Wade. Cunningham's pleas came amid a series of GOP scandals. Rep. Tom DeLay of Texas had to step down as majority leader after he was indicted in a campaign finance case; a stock sale by Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist is being looked at by regulators; and Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff was indicted in the CIA leak case. Associated Press reporter Erica Werner in Washington contributed to this report. --MailBlocks_8C7C26A3C879034_15E4_814B_FWM-R01.sysops.aol.com Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii HTMLBODYDIV style='font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt;'DIVBRSTRONGFONT size=4CALIF.
