Navy Punishes Chaplains for Sexual Abuse By Matt Kelley AP Writer 7/4/03 Washington - "The Navy has punished more than 40 chaplains over the last decade for offenses ranging from sexual abuse to fraud -- a misconduct rate much higher than for other officers, according to documents that detail the Navy's alarm at the problem." http://www.newsday.com/news/nationworld/wire/sns-ap-navy-chaplain-discipline,0,3553260.story?coll=sns-ap-nationworld-headlines

Bush Decides 6 Detainees Can Be Tried by Military
By Richard A. Serrano , Times Staff Writer
July 4, 2003
WASHINGTON President Bush has determined that six people detained in the
war on terrorism can be tried in military commissions, Pentagon officials
announced Thursday, moving a step closer to the first such tribunals since
World War II. The names of the detainees were not released, but officials
said they have strong indications that the six were involved in terrorist
plots. It also was not clear where the six were being held....
At the end of World War II the United States used military commissions to
try enemy combatants. The system appears heavily weighted to the
government's advantage. The judge and jury would be U.S. military
personnel. Unlike traditional criminal trials, the proceedings of military
tribunals can be kept secret. The accused would be provided a military
lawyer, could not be tried twice by a military commission for the same
offense, could refuse to testify and could enter a plea agreement. The U.S.
courts provide many layers of appeals, but in military commissions,
findings and sentences are final once approved by the president or the
secretary of Defense. A conviction, which in civilian criminal court would require a unanimous
jury verdict, could be handed down on a two-thirds vote by the military
jury. A death sentence, however, would have to be unanimous
Farnborough Journal There's a Bug in My Seat Cushion by Alan Cowell Farnborough, England, 6/30/03 "Deep in the Hampshire woodlands, southwest of London, at an installation ringed with barbed wire and guarded by security cameras and men in yellow slickers, scientists are working, among many other things, on what has been called a "smart seat." It is an airline passenger seat studded with hidden sensors and linked to a computerized monitor screen that cabin staff can read for clues about their passengers."

LA TIMES EDITORIAL
Children in Tiny Boxes
The Los Angeles County Grand Jury, which serves as a watchdog over public
jails, joined a chorus of critics Friday in proclaiming what anyone with a
scrap of humanity knows: Confining juveniles to 4-by-8-foot cells for 23
1/2 hours a day is cruel. It is also, the grand jury noted, usual for minors kept in the Men's Central Jail in downtown Los Angeles. The daily lockdowns are ostensibly for protection,
not punishment. Federal law requires that juveniles housed in adult jails be kept out of view and hearing of older and potentially predatory inmates. So, as many as 44 teenagers eat, sleep and do schoolwork in windowless cells, with three hours on Fridays to exercise in a cage on the jail roof. In late May, two of them attempted suicide.

Iraq: This Is What A Guerilla War Looks Like
by Maria Tomchick • Monday June 30, 2003 at 11:32 PM
Well-coordinated, knowledgeable attacks don't happen by accident. They point to an organized guerrilla movement -- in spite of what Pentagon officials say. This Is What A Guerilla War Looks Like by Maria Tomchick June 30, 2003 While it's now apparent that The Pentagon made no substantial plans for how to run post-war Iraq, somebody else in Iraq has certainly made plans for how to sabotage U.S. rule. ....The escalating sabotage of oil and gas pipelines in Iraq is an even bigger problem.
