Australia: Ten-year-old policy of detention is failing (fwd)

Subject: Australia: Ten-year-old policy of detention is failing

* News Release Issued by the International Secretariat of Amnesty
International *

28 January 2002
ASA 12/001/2002
17/02


As the risk of fatalities increases in ongoing unrest within
Australian immigration detention centres, it is clear that the
ten-year-old policy of mandatory detention is failing and needs
urgent review, Amnesty International said today.

  Of immediate concern is the mental health of the
detainees -- hunger strikes, self-harm and attempted suicides of
detainees have obvious roots in extreme desperation.  This is
created by the combined effects of prolonged incarceration,
social isolation and increasing uncertainty about the future,
with many people fearing for their lives if returned to their
home countries.

  No other country imprisons hundreds of children, and
thousands of men and women for lacking a visa under a national
policy requiring their automatic and indefinite detention,
without charge or review by a court.  Contrary to the
government's line, the policy of detention has not deterred
refugees -- as most of them are found to be -- trying to arrive
without authorization.  The government claims that refugees with
valid travel documents are welcome, but people fleeing
persecution often cannot apply for visa at distant embassies and
then wait months or years for approval.

  Locking up thousands of refugee applicants has proven
not to stop new attempts at reaching Australia.  Are Australians
really willing to pay any price, human and financial, to maintain
a 10-year-old detention policy which has failed to halt desperate
actions to seek refuge? the organization asked.

  The focus on the physical conditions in the detention
centres detracts from the key issue behind the unrest - mental
health.  Medical professionals and informed observers have
repeatedly raised concerns about the detainees' mental health and
the standards of medical care in detention.

  Amnesty International called on the Australian government
to relieve detainee anxieties by easing some of the pressures
which underlie their desperate actions. At the very least,
families with children and those already found to meet refugee
criteria should be released, pending completion of their visa
approvals.  Detention should be the exception, not the rule, and
determined case by case.

  Ultimately, parliament should reconsider the underlying
factors contributing to acts of desperation in detention, and
enable a substantial increase of efforts to address the causes of
international refugee flows, notably human rights abuses.

  Amnesty International does not condone any acts of
self-harm or violence, whether committed by asylum-seekers or
others protesting their conditions. Neither does it believe the
Australian government can escape its share of the responsibility
for the circumstances driving detainees into desperation.

  Ongoing fighting and instability in Afghanistan, home to
many of the detainees, makes it unlikely that Afghan
asylum-seekers can safely return in the near future. The
Australian experiment with automatic mass detention proves once
again the need for increased international cooperation to slow
refugee flows and provide humane conditions and solutions for
those unable to return home in safety.

What's A Military Take-over, Daddy?

 Pentagon Plans New Command For U.S.
 Four-Star Officer Would Oversee Homeland Defense 
  
 By Bradley Graham
 Washington Post Staff Writer
 Sunday, January 27, 2002; Page A01 The Pentagon has decided to ask the 
 White House for approval to set up a new four-star command to coordinate 
 federal troops used to defend North America, part of an intensified effort 
 to bolster homeland security, defense officials said.
 The move was prompted by the new domestic security demands placed on the 
 military after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and the Bush administration's 
 declared war on terrorism.
 Although the Pentagon has regional commanders in chief, known as CINCs, who 
 are responsible for Europe, the Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East 
 and South Asia, none exists for U.S. forces in the United States and 
 Canada. The proposed change would give a single four-star officer authority 
 over such domestic deployments as Air Force jets patrolling above U.S. 
 cities, Navy ships running coastal checks and Army National Guard troops 
 policing airports and border crossings.
 Before September, military leaders had resisted the idea of a homeland CINC 
 (pronounced sink), reflecting a traditional aversion to -- and legal 
 limits on -- the use of federal armed forces for domestic law enforcement. 
 Opposition also existed outside the Pentagon on both the political left and 
 right, with civil libertarians and right-wing militia groups alike warning 
 against military forces encroaching on areas traditionally considered the 
 responsibility of civilian emergency response, law enforcement and health 
 agencies.
 But in recent months, as military air, sea and land patrols pressed into 
 action by the Pentagon have answered to several four-star commanders, the 
 Defense Department's top military officers have come to accept the need for 
 streamlining the chain of command.
 Earlier opposition from such groups as the American Civil Liberties Union 
 has also waned, although concerns persist about possible mission creep 
 and the risk that any military forces deployed around the country could end 
 up threatening individual rights.
 Initially, the military chiefs had argued for assigning the homeland 
 defense mission to one of two commands already headquartered in the United 
 States -- either the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) in 
 Colorado, which is responsible for protecting U.S. skies, or the Joint 
 Forces Command in Virginia, which has been charged with guarding the 
 maritime approaches to North America and the land defense of the 
 continental United States. The thinking was that setting up an entirely new 
 command would entail needless additional bureaucracy and expense.
 But Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld has settled on creating a new 
 command rather than loading an existing one with additional 
 responsibilities, according to four officials in different branches of the 
 Pentagon familiar with the plan. Currently, the general who heads NORAD 
 also runs the U.S. Space Command, which oversees the nation's military 
 satellites and computer networks. The admiral who leads the Joint Forces 
 Command is in charge of developing new ways the different services can 
 fight together, and he serves as head of NATO's North Atlantic region.
 All the chiefs and CINCs have seen the plan and have signed on to it, 
 although it has not yet been briefed to the president, a senior military 
 officer said yesterday. Everyone is moving down the track toward realizing 
 it.
 Defense officials also said that the geographic responsibilities of the new 
 command would likely extend beyond U.S. borders to the rest of North 
 America. Among other advantages, this would facilitate the transfer of the 
 air defense mission from NORAD, which is operated jointly with Canada.
 It's not going to be just a homeland defense command, another official 
 said. It's going to be a command that has responsibility beyond homeland 
 defense.
 But many of the details for implementing the new command structure have yet 
 to be worked out, including where it would be located, what it would be 
 called, who would lead it and exactly which functions it would take from 
 existing CINCs.
 There's still the hope this new command can be created without a net 
 increase in headquarters staff across all the CINC-doms, the senior 
 officer said.
 Another official said: It's going to take time to work out how you go 
 about moving responsibilities from this or that CINC to this new command. 
 This particular review will go ahead and establish the command, and then 
 we'll lay out a series of considerations over the course of the next 
 several months to make it all happen.
 Responsibility for coordinating federal activities in homeland defense 
 rests with Tom Ridge, who heads the White House's Office of Homeland 
 Security, which was set up after the Sept. 11 attacks. While the new 
 Pentagon command would doubtless have

Enron May Spark Revolt of Professionals

Enron May Spark Revolt of Professionals 


By James K. Galbraith 

James K. Galbraith, a professor at the University of Texas at Austin, is
the author, most recently, of Inequality and Industrial Change: A Global
View.

January 25, 2002

NOWADAYS there are three classes in America: working people at the bottom,
professionals above them, a tiny elite at the top. Democrats represent the
professionals, Republicans represent the CEOs. No one, much, speaks for
working people, who must rely on the sympathy of leading Democrats for
most of the little they get.

Our politics accordingly mirrors corporate life, with an opposition out of
Dilbert, grumpy but ineffective. Thus, after the 2000 election,
Democrats abandoned the black voters of Florida, who were disenfranchised
by the tens of thousands. In the tax-bill looting that followed in
Congress, there was just enough grease for the upper middle to buy its
silence. Meanwhile, raids on job safety, on the public schools, on unions,
and the attempt to demolish Social Security fell on the lower orders. In
each case, the aim was elite enrichment, amid the indifference of the
professional class.

Enron could change that. In details complex, the scandal is essentially
simple. A handful of rich people, closely tied to the Texas Republican
Party led by Gov. George W. Bush and Sen. Phil Gramm, decided to become
richer still. Their grand strategy included deregulation of energy,
deregulation of derivatives (an arcane financial device), corrupt
accounting practices, overseas tax scams, U.S. diplomatic pressure
(delivered in 2001 by Dick Cheney himself, on India, where Enron had sold
a white elephant power plant). And then, as the game unwound, they sold
their own stock while freezing employee pension accounts. In the end, the
gang made off with more than a billion dollars, that we know of.

Enron's real business was politics. Energy deregulation helped create the
web of commodities in which Enron traded. Derivatives deregulation
(courtesy of Gramm and Rep. Richard Armey) shielded that market from
review. Consulting contracts to the auditors bought complicity; payments
from auditors to politicians fended off the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Enron paid for favors promptly: $100,000 to the Democrats in
1997 to push the Indians around, $25,000 to Texas Gov. Rick Perry one day
after Enron's Mexico chief got to run the Public Utilities Commission in
Texas. Wendy Gramm, who chaired Enron's audit committee, got nearly $2
million. We still don't know exactly what Enron contributed, in
intellectual terms, to Cheney's energy policy, or to Treasury Secretary
Paul O'Neill's defense of overseas tax shelters. But it paid well for it:
over time, the big boss George Bush got more than $600,000 in Enron cash.
That we know of.

Enron reveals, for the first time, just how rot at the top can cut against
professional interests. Those were not only small fry, but modest
millionaires in some cases, who lost their 401(k)s. A professional's
pension can't be replaced. And there is nothing a hardworking middle
manager fears more than to end up on Social Security like ordinary folk.
Administration officials proudly refused to intervene on Enron's behalf
once bankruptcy loomed. But here's the catch: They weren't asked to. By
then, their friends had already cashed out. Saving the professionals, or
the company, was not on the agenda.

White House economist Lawrence Lindsey (who'd gotten $50,000 as an Enron
adviser in 2000) reviewed the great bankruptcy's risks to the economy at
large. He concluded they were small; he may not be wrong. Most of the
direct damage landed on a few thousand people in Houston.

But we shouldn't be entirely sure. Corporate America runs on the
collaboration of professionals with the elites. In big and small ways,
managers, accountants, lawyers and engineers make the system work. In each
firm, they have to trust that the big boys are not stealing from them.
Through their pension funds, they control vast sums that they must also
entrust back to corporate America - through the stock market. Before 1988,
the professionals of Japan also felt that by working and saving, borrowing
and investing, everyone would get rich. The crash of that year taught
otherwise. The Japanese middle classes felt betrayed, because they were
betrayed. Their money, what was left of it, went back under the mattress,
where it remains. Japan has not recovered in 14 years.

Suppose that American professionals come to feel the same way? The
economist Thorstein Veblen, back in the days of Teapot Dome, wrote that
the revolution here would not be led by workers. Rather, revolution could
only come to America in the hands of technicians, the General Staff of
the industrial system, a normally contented class, harmless and docile,
in ordinary times. The technicians however, held the real power. And they
might, someday, realize that the absentee landlords, the Vested 

Senate Report on Money Laundering

Senate Report on Money Laundering
WASHINGTON (AP) - For drug dealers, dictators or terrorists looking to
launder illicit money, U.S. brokerage firms and investment banks may be
convenient and anonymous places to go, Senate investigators say.

A report being released Tuesday found that securities firms have tens of
thousands of offshore clients channeling billions of potentially illicit
dollars into their U.S. accounts.

The banking industry already has come under scrutiny for its use by money
launderers. But the securities industry also ``has clear money laundering
risks that need to be addressed,'' Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., chairman of the
Senate Governmental Affairs investigative subcommittee, said.

Subcommittee investigators found that all the 22 U.S. securities firms
examined had numerous offshore customers and many of the firms said they
couldn't provide an accurate count of those clients because their data
systems didn't identify offshore entities. The clients include offshore
corporations, trusts, banks and insurance companies.

The securities firms, which were not named, had more than 45,000 offshore
clients total, with an estimated $140 billion in assets in their accounts -
of which some $137 billion came from offshore corporations and trusts,
according to the report.

The high-risk accounts represent about 2 percent of the U.S. firms' total
accounts, it says.

The investigators didn't find any evidence of illegal activity in the 22
firms that they surveyed.

Levin, who has investigated money laundering in the nation's banking
industry, was testifying at a Senate Banking Committee hearing Tuesday on
new anti-money-laundering rules for banks and securities firms that came in
response to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. Also appearing were high-ranking
officials from the Justice and Treasury departments, the Federal Reserve and
the Securities and Exchange Commission, which oversees the brokerage
industry.

Businesses in offshore jurisdictions - such as the Caribbean and tiny
islands in the South Pacific - benefit from financial secrecy laws, which
can encourage laundering of dirty money.

The fight against money laundering gained new urgency after the attacks in
New York City, Washington and southwestern Pennsylvania and revelations that
the al-Qaida network of Osama bin Laden, the prime suspect in the attacks,
uses money from Islamic charities and front companies.

A new anti-terrorism law enacted in October includes rules to combat money
laundering in U.S. banks and securities firms, notably requirements that
they verify their customers' identities and report suspicious transactions
to law enforcement agencies. The rules for banks took effect on Christmas
Day. Final rules for securities firms must be issued by June. Securities
businesses include brokerage firms, investment banks, investment advisers,
bond dealers and mutual funds.

Wall Street had lobbied against some of the rules for securities firms, such
as one prohibiting them from maintaining accounts with foreign shell banks
that exist mainly on paper and lack concrete operations.

``The industry has no patience for money laundering and we have been working
and want to continue to work with the government to eliminate any money
laundering,'' Stuart Kaswell, general counsel of the Securities Industry
Association, Wall Street's major trade group, said Monday.

``We don't want this money in our business. ... We want to make these rules
work,'' Kaswell said. He declined comment on the Senate panel's report,
saying the group hadn't yet seen it.

Law enforcement agencies have been concerned about the securities industry's
potential vulnerability to money laundering, which involves the movement of
profits from drug or arms trafficking, political corruption, prostitution
and other illicit activities through a series of accounts or businesses to
disguise them as proceeds of legitimate business.

An October report by the General Accounting Office, Congress' investigative
arm, showed that many U.S. securities firms do not have voluntary controls
against money laundering by customers.

After the Sept. 11 attacks, the SEC asked all securities firms to check
their records for accounts held or transactions by any of the suspects in
the case identified by the FBI, or by any of the people and groups with
suspected links to terrorism - including bin Laden - named in President
Bush's orders to freeze their assets.

 January 26 -- If you want to understand what has happened to our
 beloved country, you will not want to miss this article in today's
 Washington Post, pg. B11:

 Israel's Evangelical Approach.  U.S. Christian Zionists Nurtured as
 Political, Tourism Force. 

 I enclose both the URL and the text, below (Attachment 1).

 For further understanding of this vitally important subject, I also
 enclose the text of article written by C.E. Carlson, Kulchur Klash.
 (Attachment 2.) In particular, read the sections following the words
 ARE PHARISEES EXTINCT?

 Now, a story which puts some flesh on the issue at hand:

 The brother of a friend of mine works in the South.  He was
 discussing US foreign policy with a fellow worker, a retired career
 Navy man who describes himself as a fundamentalist Christian.  The
 Navy man is a devote of TeeVee preacher Pat Robertson.

 My friend's brother was arguing that the US policy towards Israel
 amounts to treason to the US.  During the discussion, the subject of
 the USS Liberty came up.   Believe it or not, this Navy man had never
 heard of Israel's attack on the USS Liberty in 1967.  My friend's
 brother referred him to

 http://www.USSLiberty.org

 The next day, the Navy man came into the office and said:  I don't
 care what Israel did to the USS Liberty.  I put my God ahead of my
 country.

 There it is in a nutshell.  One story--but it superbly illustrates the
point.

 Fundamentalist Christians (sometimes called Fundies) are,
 characteristically, not Christian at all.   They reject Jesus's
 notion of the universality of mankind, the belief that each of us is
 equally precious in the eyes of the Lord.  They rely on the Talmud,
 the written laws and commentaries of the Pharisees, not the New
 Testament.  Religiously, Fundies are fellow travelers in the dark
 political cult of Talmudism, sometimes called Zionism and sometimes
 called Judaism.

 Fundies will do anything for Israel and the Jews, whom they worship
 as God or God's little brother.  They are only too happy to be the
 Jews' slaves, and insist we all join in their bondage.  Certainly
 their beliefs are anti-Christian.

 More to the point: Characteristically, Fundies are traitors to
 America.  Yes,they are the first to wave the American flag in order
 to spill the blood of those who stand in the way of Israeli ambition.
 Along with Jews, Fundies scream loudest for Arab blood, even though
 all rational analysis shouts that Israel and israeli agents in
 America were responsible for 9-11.  They will do anything to help
 Israel achieve world domination.

 Fundies hate the Bill of Rights and the American ideal of equal
 justice under law.  Need evidence of this?  Ask your friendly
 next-door so called Christian fundamentalist about the Waco
 Holocaust.  Ask them if they have ever lifted their voice up against
 what befell the 80-odd goyim in Waco in 1993.  Then find out what
 their attitude is to the death of Jews in WWII or at the hands of
 Palestinian freedom fighters in contemporary Israel.

 Thus you will see that only the Jews really matter.  Only the
 Jews qualify as human.  Thus Fundies follow the teachings of the
 Talmud in their anti-American beliefs. ( See quotes in Attachment 3.)

 Zionist Christians operate as Israeli super patriots, never
 questioning their own loyalties to Israel or weighing them against
 other principles or values.  As the example of the Navy man shows,
 this loyalty transcends all loyalty to America (or any other native
 country), and even overt oaths of loyalty.  Most astoundingly, few
 people would see the Navy man's Zionism as the fundamental treason it
 is, and it is unlikely that his officers would have a problem with
 it, much less prosecute him for treason.

 Take your pick.  Do you prefer the Jewish Zionists of the Clinton
 Administration, or the Christian Zionists of the Bush
 Administration?

 More and more, the Fundies and their puppet masters show their vile
 corruption to the world.  Today's Washington Post article is an
 in-your-face, out-of-the closet exhibition of these truths.  What are
 we going to do about it?

Jeb Bush's Daughter Is Arrested and Charged With Prescription Fraud

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - Gov. Jeb Bush's 24-year-old daughter was arrested 
at a pharmacy drive-through window Tuesday on charges of trying to buy the 
anti-anxiety drug Xanax with a fraudulent prescription.
Authorities said Noelle Bush apparently posed as a doctor and called in the 
phony prescription after suffering a panic attack Monday evening.
Bush, who was supposed to start a new job Tuesday at a software company, 
was jailed and released pending a Jan. 31 arraignment.
She could get up to five years in prison and a $5,000 fine if 
convicted.President Bush's twin daughters, Jenna and Barbara, have gotten 
in trouble for underage drinking.
Jeb and Columba Bush had said previously that one of their three children 
struggled with a drug problem.

Flame-Retardant Chemical Could Prove as Serious a Pollutant as PCBs or DDT
By Matt Crenson The Associated Press
Published: Jan 29, 2002
A chemical flame retardant commonly used in foam furniture padding is 
accumulating so rapidly in the breast milk of nursing mothers that 
environmentalists and some scientists are calling for a ban on it.
Little is known about the toxic nature of polybrominated diphenyl ether, 
commonly known by the acronym PBDE. Early studies show it poses some of the 
same dangers as PCBs and DDT. Those two chemicals were banned in the United 
States decades ago for their myriad detrimental effects on animal and human 
health.
Environmentalists advocate a ban on PBDE as well. One form of the chemical 
will be banned next year in Europe, where the law requires proof of safety 
before a new agent can be used in the environment. U.S. law requires proof 
of harm or risk before a chemical is banned.
But the chemical industry argues that more research is needed before 
banning something that protects lives. Producers of PBDE say there is no 
evidence that it will ever reach harmful levels, while its benefits as a 
flame retardant are well-known.
Adding PBDE to foam furniture padding, television casings and other 
plastics reduces by 45 percent the risk of death and injury due to fire, 
the chemical manufacturers say.
We're not talking about aesthetics. People use brominated flame retardants 
because they save lives, said Robert Campbell, a spokesman for Great Lakes 
Chemical Corp. in West Lafayette, Ind.
Like PCBs and DDT, PBDE is a persistent organic pollutant, or POP. POPs can 
remain in the environment for years without breaking down. Some of these 
pollutants have such an affinity for fat that they build up in the bodies 
of both animals and humans from before birth until death.
It seems that PBDEs are an important - but generally unrecognized - 
persistent organic pollutant in the United States, Robert C. Hale, a 
professor at the Virginia Institute of Marine Sciences, and five colleagues 
wrote in the journal Nature a few months ago.
Persistent organic pollutants are so difficult to purge from the 
environment that 25 years after being banned, trace amounts of PCBs can 
still be measured in human blood. Waterways such as New York's Hudson River 
and Wisconsin's Fox River are being dredged at costs running into the 
hundreds of millions to rid them of PCB contamination. In many waters, 
anglers are warned not to eat the fish they catch or to limit their 
consumption to one or two servings a month.
There is an enormous need to act quickly when there is a problem with a 
chemical that is not only toxic but is persistent and accumulates, because 
it will continue to get worse before it gets better, said physician Gina 
Solomon, a senior scientist at the Natural Resources Defense Council.
Industry uses several forms of PBDE to decrease the flammability of various 
plastics. Only one of those types - used mostly in polyurethane foam 
furniture padding - has been found in the environment and breast milk. 
According to Environmental Protection Agency records, Great Lakes Chemical 
is the only U.S. manufacturer of that form of PBDE.
At this point all bets are open in terms of how it's getting into the 
environment, said Hale, who stops short of calling for a ban on the 
pollutant, which was developed in the 1960s.
He has hypothesized that discarded furniture is a major source of PBDE in 
the environment. Whenever anybody tosses out an old sofa, he explained, 
nature goes to work. Water and sunlight break the foam into crumbling 
pieces that eventually are ground to dust. Insects have also been observed 
munching away at the material. From those humble beginnings the chemical 
travels all the way up the food chain to humans.
Hale has found PBDEs virtually everywhere he has looked: In a small river 
along the North Carolina-Virginia border, he found fish with the highest 
levels of PBDE ever recorded in an animal. He has also collected sewage 
sludge samples from four states, all with high concentrations of PBDE.
Swedish scientists first documented the increase of PBDE in humans. For 30 
years, Sweden has sampled the breast milk of nursing mothers to track 
exposure to dioxin, PCBs and other pollutants that accumulate in body fat. 
The United States has no similar program.
In 1998, Swedish scientists reported that levels of PBDE in breast milk had 
increased 40-fold since 1972.
Since the Swedish discovery, the chemical has been found in Swedish pike, 
Virginia catfish and North Sea cod. Seals, moose and reindeer all carry 
PBDE in their body fat and like humans, transmit it to their nursing young. 
PBDE has even been found in the blubber of sperm whales in the Arctic Ocean.
Even more alarming to environmentalists was the revelation in December by 
the journal Environmental Science  Technology that North American mothers 
have breast-milk PBDE levels at least 40 times the highest concentrations

EU vice-president to claim US site spies on European business

EU vice-president to claim US site spies on European business

VICE-PRESIDENT of the European Parliament, Gerhardt Schmid, is expected to
argue that the Echelon system used at the United States base at Menwith
Hill, near Harrogate, is used for industrial espionage when he speaks in the
town next week.

Dr Schmid compiled the European Parliament's report on Echelon, which is
believed to intercept millions of telephone calls, faxes, e-mails and other
electronic communications and pass confidential information to the US
National Security Agency.

The German Socialist Euro MP has accepted an invitation from the Menwith
Hill Forum ­ which monitors activities at the 560-acre intelligence site ­
to speak at the Friends Meeting House in Queen Parade, Harrogate, on
Thursday at 7.30pm.

The signals intelligence station already has a key role in Echelon, but its
importance will grow when hundreds of staff are transferred to Menwith Hill
from Bad Abling ­ the National Security Agency's third largest monitoring
station, which is in the Bavarian Alps.

Although the US Government has denied the existence of Echelon, it is known
to be shared with Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Britain. UK Government
sources justify it as a means of gathering information on terrorist
organisations and international drug cartels.

But Dr Schmid is expected to argue that Echelon is also used by the United
States Government to gather sensitive economic data from European countries,
which is allegedly being passed on to benefit industrial rivals across the
Atlantic. One example is said to be a £1bn contract lost by Airbus Industrie
to Boeing and McDonnel Douglas.

Dr Schmid, who will tell the Forum that the uncontrolled use of Echelon is
potentially detrimental to European economies and puts at risk thousands of
jobs, will also explain what the European Parliament is doing to try to
protect citizens' rights.

The Forum's chairman, John Eveleigh said: This public meeting continues our
aim to inform local people of the activities and genuine concerns we have
around the Menwith Hill surveillance station. I urge anyone interested in
finding out more about Echelon to attend.

Justice Department covers nude statues
http://www.salon.com/politics/wire/2002/01/29/justice_department/index.html
- - - - - - - - - - - -
By Christopher Newton
Jan. 29, 2002 | WASHINGTON (AP) -- No longer will the attorney general
be photographed in front of two partially nude statues in the Great
Hall of the Department of Justice.

The department spent $8,000 on blue drapes that hide the two giant,
aluminum art deco statues, said spokesman Shane Hix. For aesthetic
reasons, he said, the drapes were occasionally hung in front of the
statues before formal events. The department used to rent the drapes,
but has now purchased them and left them hanging.

The drapes provide a nice background for television cameras, Hix said.
ABC News reported that Attorney General John Ashcroft ordered the
statues covered because he didn't like being photographed in front of
them.

Since the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, Ashcroft has been
photographed several times in front of the female statue that
represents the Spirit of Justice. The 10- to 12-foot statue has its
arms raised and a toga draped over its body, but a single breast is
completely exposed.

The other statue, of a man with a cloth covering his midsection, is
called the Majesty of Law.

Both statues were installed in the 1930s when the building was
finished, according to the Justice Department.

Hix said the Justice Department bought the drapes to avoid having to
rent them every time the agency had a formal event. The drapes cost
about $2,000 to rent.

He also said Ashcroft was not involved in the decision.
The attorney general was not even aware of the situation, he
said. Obviously, he has more important things to do.

The Great Hall is an ornate, two-story room that the department uses
for ceremonies and special speeches.

In the past, snagging a photo of the attorney general in front of the
statues has been something of a sport for photographers.

When former Attorney General Edwin Meese released a report on
pornography in the 1980s, photographers dived to the floor to capture
the image of him raising the report in the air, with the partially
nude female statue behind him.
