[LAAMN] New CIA chief thought the 4th amendment doesn't require probable cause for warrants

[Michael Novick]

Gen. Hayden: "4th Amendment and wrong"
http://www.crooksandliars.com/2006/05/06.html#a8184
originally posted on 1/26/06 with updates

Keith Olbermann posted this video clip of Gen. Hayden botching the fourth 
amendment.

Knight-Ridder's Jonathan Landay questioned Gen. Michael Hayden at the 
National Press Club in January:

   Video-WMP Video-QT

Landay: "...the Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution 
specifies that you must have probable cause to violate an American's right 
against unreasonable searches and seizures..."

Gen. Hayden: "No, actually - the Fourth Amendment actually protects all of 
us against unreasonable search and seizure."

Landay: "But the --"

Gen. Hayden: "That's what it says."

Landay: "The legal measure is probable cause, it says."

Gen. Hayden: "The Amendment says: unreasonable search and seizure."

Landay: "But does it not say 'probable cause'?"

Gen. Hayden [exasperated, scowling]: "No! The Amendment says unreasonable 
search and seizure."

Landay: "The legal standard is probable cause, General -- "

Gen. Hayden [indignant]: "Just to be very clear ... mmkay... and believe 
me, if there's any Amendment to the Constitution that employees of the 
National Security Agency are familiar with, it's the Fourth. Alright? And 
it is a reasonableness standard in the Fourth Amendment. The constitutional 
standard is 'reasonable'" ( h/t Dale)

To which Keith says:

OLBERMANN:  To quote the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution of the United 
States in its entirety, the one the general and the NSA folks are so 
familiar with and know is about reasonableness and not about probable 
cause, quote, "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, 
houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, 
shall not be violated, and no warrants issue, but upon probable cause, 
supported by oath or affirmation and particularly describing the place to 
be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."

Well, maybe they have a different Constitution over there at the 
NSA.

This also helped to open the door for Glenn Greenwald to expose them on 
FISA.  "In other words, DeWine's bill, had it become law, would have 
eliminated the "probable cause" barrier (at least for non-U.S. persons) 
which the Administration is now pointing to as the reason why it had to 
circumvent FISA...read on"

Updates from today:

Glenn: Having said that, it is highly illustrative of this administration's 
mindset that they believe that the best candidate to direct the CIA is the 
individual who oversaw and vigorously defended the administration's illegal 
eavesdropping on American citizens. Isn't he the last person who ought to 
be put in that position?

Digby remembers a few things about General Hayden.

[LAAMN] Fwd: Urgent: A Second Anti-Venezuela Resolution to be Introduced Tomorrow!

[Anna Kunkin]

PLEASE FORWARD WIDELY

Zach Hurwitz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:   Date: Tue, 09 May 2006 11:18:29 -0700
Subject: Urgent: A Second Anti-Venezuela Resolution to be Introduced
Tomorrow!
From: Zach Hurwitz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
To: Ven Oct05 Founders Tour <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,
Ven WFYS pax Aug 05 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,
"Venezuela - March 2006 Women's Tour" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>


URGENT: A Second Anti-Venezuela Resolution to be Introduced Tomorrow in the 
House. Please contact your representative today!

This Wednesday, Congressman Dan Burton (R-IN) intends to introduce a resolution 
in the House condemning Venezuela for supposedly not cooperating with the 
United States in the fight against narco- trafficking. Much like Connie Mack’s 
Anti-Venezuela resolution, which was introduced earlier this year, the Burton 
Resolution is also filled with distorted facts and half truths 

  that paint an inaccurate picture of the situation (more details below).
 
What You Can Do:
Please contact your House representative today!  There are three ways to help:
 
1)   Click here to send a letter to your representative. 

   If you are not sure who your representative is, it’s ok!  Our software will 
automatically identify your representative based on your home zip code.
 
2)   Call your Representative to tell him/her that this ill-conceived 
legislation is filled with inaccuracies and will do nothing to improve U.S. 
Venezuela relations. The Congressional Switchboard can patch you through.  Just 
call 202-224-3121.
 
3) Share this alert with your friends and colleagues. Please pass it on far 
and wide.

 
Last March, your faxes and phone calls convinced Rep. Mack to pull his 
anti-Venezuela legislation. We need your help again, because the stakes could 
be even higher.
 
What the Burton Resolution Says:
The resolution argues that Venezuela is not doing enough to combat drug 
trafficking.  While it is non-binding, the strategy is to create a public 
record of condemnation that may be used to justify more direct measures against 
Venezuela in the future.  Like the Mack Resolution, it is another tool to 
discredit the Venezuelan government during an election year and even to justify 
intervention.  Also like the Mack Resolution, it is based on some conspicuously 
bad information:
 
1) The Burton Resolution claims that drug trafficking “significantly 
increased” in Venezuela last year.  In reality, Venezuelan drug seizures were 
on the increase, meaning that enforcement was way up, not an increase in 
trafficking.
 
2) The resolution cites a high-profile case of an airplane filled with 
cocaine that was seized in Mexico last month as an example of Venezuela’s 
supposed lack of enforcement.  The implication simply ignores the fact that 
tips from Venezuelan officials led to seizure in the first place. 
 
3) The resolution claims that the Venezuelan government does not publicize 
its drug seizure statistics, which is simply a false statement.
 
There are many more distorted facts in the resolution.  To see the rest, check 
out our fact sheet 

 here.
 
 
 
 

NOTE: The Venezuela Information Office is dedicated to informing the American 

public about contemporary Venezuela, and receives its funding from the 

government of Venezuela. More information is available from the FARA office 

of the Department of Justice in Washington DC.

[LAAMN] Screening of "Falluja 2004" - This Friday, May 12th, 8:00 PM at The Echo Park Film Center - 1200 N. Alvarado St., Los Angeles

[Frank]

-Original Message-From: Therese Dietlin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 


Hollywood-Echo Park


Free Pacifica Neighborhood Network

screening of


Falluja 2004


A film by Japanese independent journalist Toshikuni
Doi

  Falluja April 2004 A
documentary by Japanese independent journalist Toshikuni DoiFallujah has
become a symbol of the resistance movement against the U.S. occupation
of Iraq. In April 2004, the U.S. forces invaded Fallujah with several
thousand soldiers. Why did Fallujah become a base of the resistance
against the occupation? How did the U.S. forces attack? Who fought
against them? And what damages and injuries did people suffer? Ten days
after the siege of Falluja was lifted, Toshikuni Doi, a Japanese
independent journalist, went into Fallujah. His documentary investigates
the causes of, the conditions during, and damages from the siege. The
documentary is primarily in Arabic, with English subtitles. 

"For a well documented, powerful film of what really occurred in
Fallujah during the April, 2004 siege, this is a must see. The film
begins by investigating why the resistance began in Fallujah shortly
after the Anglo-American invasion of Iraq. The film then accurately
chronicles what occurred in Fallujah during the failed April siege. I
couldn't recommend this more highly. To get a more complete
understanding of the failed occupation of Iraq, watch this film and
encourage others to do the same." -Dahr Jamail

[LAAMN] L.A. Premiere Screening of CROSSING ARIZONA - Thursday, May 11th - 7:15pm in Pacific Palisades - Presented by Friends of Film - 941 Temescal Canyon Road

[Frank]

-Original Message-From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 


  Pacific Palisades Film Festival
Opening Night Film
941 Temescal Canyon Road, Pacific Palisades  90272
 
FILM PROGRAM 1
Thursday, May 11, 2006 - 7:15pm
Admission is $10
 
 
THE LOS ANGELES PREMIERE!
 
CROSSING ARIZONA
 
  
 
Directors: Joseph Mathew and Dan DeVivo
97 minutes
  www.CrossingAZ.com
 
Tension along the Mexican/American border is one of the most rapidly
escalating issues in the country today. Joseph Mathew's intimate and
invaluably comprehensive documentary, Crossing Arizona, offers a
balanced, up-to-the-minute look at the current crisis as it is
developing at its hottest point the Arizona/Sonora border. Heightened
security along the Texas and California borders funnels an estimated
4,500 undocumented migrants every day through the deadliest landscape in
the countryArizona's Sonora desert. The journey can take four days on
foot, and the death toll is rapidly mounting. Crossers who survive often
tap the resources of citizens and property owners in the area,
triggering a range of impassioned responses and conflicted feelings
about human rights, culture, class, and national security. Focusing on
personal stories of local people on both sides of the border whose
lives! are directly affected by Washington policies, Mathew follows a
dynamic array of individuals: the U.S. Border Patrol, the citizen
border-patrol group, Minutemen, Latino activists, and the emigrants
themselves. Crossing Arizona is not only essential viewing to understand
how a majestic corner of the country has transformed into a political
hotbed and deadly immigration flashpoint; it also creates an opportunity
to contemplate and question larger issues about the American society in
which we live. 
- Shari Frilot, Sundance Film Festival Programmer

than Collins had imagined.

#2  OC Peace Coalition General Meeting Saturday,
   May 13th in Orange

(in accordance with our usual "second and fourth
 Saturday" schedule)

WHEN:  10 AM Saturday, May 13th 

WHERE:
   Sisters of St. Joseph Justice Center
   480 S. Batavia in Orange

WHO:  All interested people are invited, especially
 anyone who might represent one of our member
 organizations.

We're likely to be discussing such things as
outreach to new groups, candidate questionnaires,
boycotts, counter-recruitment, and anything that
might end the war sooner.

Please bring your ideas, and be ready to step
up and participate.

DIRECTIONS:
Turn into the parking lot from Batavia just north
of La Veta Ave., drive around to the left, to the
south side of the complex.  We'll be in the last
wing of the building that you come to on the south
side.  Look for signs to direct you to the room
that we've been assigned. It will probably be
Classroom 1, in the building to the rear.

#2  "Bring our Troops Home" demo at Laguna Hills Mall
   Saturday, May 13th

From: "Shirley A. McGovern" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

A Bring Our Troops Home public demonstration will be
held Saturday, May 13th, from 11am to 12:30 pm.  Participants
will meet at the entrance to the Laguna Hills Mall on El Toro
Road near Macy's.
 
The sponsor, People for Peace, (ad-hoc committee of
Concerned Citizens), invites the public to join them in
protesting the endless war our administration has imposed
on Iraq.
 
Over 2300 brave Americans and tens of thousands of
innocent Iraqis have died.  The public must speak out boldly
and insistently against our occupation of Iraq as our presence
fuels the insurgency toward more violence.
 
Stand with us to end the killing. Bring signs and flags, or use
one of ours.
 
Information: (949) 587-0301
