" "The United States has built many military bases all over the world, where it has stationed hundreds of thousands of troops, violating human rights everywhere in the world," said the lengthy document, issued Monday by China's cabinet, the State Council." "The Justice Department is investigating contacts between the Federal Reserve Board and Enron Corp. and has told the central bank not to destroy any documents related to the bankrupt energy giant." These may be heavy for survivors. Former Lake Alice patients lay abuse claims 3/12/02 By Paula Oliver - "Thirty-four criminal complaints of torture and sexual abuse have been laid against former staff members of Lake Alice Hospital near Marton as fresh claims emerge of identical abuse at another of the country's mental institutions. The criminal claims dating back to the 1970s were received by police yesterday. They target several former Lake Alice staff members. Last year, 95 former child patients of Lake Alice received about $6.5 million in compensation and an apology from the Government for abuse they received at the mental institution in the 1970s. At the time, some of the complainants said they wanted to pursue criminal charges because the staff involved could still practise." http://www.nzherald.co.nz/storydisplay.cfm?storyID=1191204&thesection=news&the subsection=general 3rd Circuit Clarifies Use of Evidence of Past Acts - Shannon P. Duffy - The Legal Intelligencer 3/11/02 "When a federal trial judge is considering the admissibility of evidence of a past sexual assault in a civil lawsuit, the court need not make its own finding that the act probably qualifies as a sexual assault and was committed by the defendant, but only that a reasonable jury could do so and that the evidence is relevant, the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled." http://www.law.com/cgi-bin/nwlink.cgi?ACG=ZZZ0FLKRKYC Net faulted for boom in child sex abuse - Easier for pedophiles to meet, share materials Wayne Washington, Boston Globe - 3/12/02 "Washington -- Internet use has contributed to an exploding number of child pornography and abuse cases over the past five years, and investigators are worried that pedophiles are using computers to coordinate their criminal behavior in new and dangerous ways, federal officials say. Last year, the FBI's Crimes Against Children Unit opened 1,541 cases against people suspected of using the Internet to commit crimes involving child pornography or abuse, up from 113 cases in 1996. In 1995, there were 20 FBI employees working on cases involving Internet crimes against children; now about 150 agents handle those cases." "Federal investigators said yesterday that they are still dissecting a child porn and abuse ring they dubbed "the Spanking Club," whose members communicated through chat rooms and the telephone, met through ads placed in fetish magazines and shared videos of naked children being beaten." "At least 10 people in eight states and Canada have been arrested and charged with various child pornography and abuse crimes" "A dozen children from age 4 to the early teens were abused by members of the club, investigators said. The children were placed in the homes of relatives or in foster care." http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2002/03/12/MN72532.DTL http://www.observer.co.uk/international/story/0,6903,665162,00.html Edward Helmore New York and Kamal Ahmed The Observer, Sunday March 10, 2002 Outrage as Pentagon nuclear hitlist revealed Edward Helmore New York and Kamal Ahmed Sunday March 10, 2002 The Observer America has drafted secret plans to wage nuclear war against seven countries as well as building an arsenal of smaller nuclear devices for use in battlefield situations. A classified Pentagon report has warned that the US must be ready to use nuclear weapons against China, Russia, Iraq, North Korea, Iran, Libya and Syria and also in an Arab-Israeli conflict. The report, provided to Congress in January and signed by hawkish US defence secretary Donald Rumsfeld, said weapons could be used in three types of situations....A spokesman for the Pentagon last night confirmed the existence of the document, called the 'Nuclear Posture Review', which was written with the knowledge of President George W. Bush and leaked to the Los Angeles Times. http://www.hindustantimes.com/nonfram/110302/dLFOR36.asp China condemns US global military expansion following Sept 11 - AFP - Beijing, March 11 - China on Monday broke with its policy of refusing to condemn the increased US global military presence following September 11, saying the expansion of Washington's "so-called security interests" presented a threat to the world. The criticism, in a scathing report assessing the United States' record on human rights, marks a rare note of discord from China's general support for the US-led military response to the terrorist attacks six months ago. "The United States has built many military bases all over the world, where it has stationed hundreds of thousands of troops, violating human rights everywhere in the world," said the lengthy document, issued Monday by China's cabinet, the State Council. http://www.hindustantimes.com/nonfram/080302/dlame10.asp Al-Qaeda foe larger, better prepared than US intelligence anticipated: US troops AFP - Washington, March 7 US ATTACKED Tuesday, Sep 11 US troops found themselves under intense fire from the start of the biggest US combat operation of the Afghan war, facing a larger, better prepared Al-Qaeda foe than US intelligence had anticipated, soldiers wounded in the fighting said on Thursday http://www.realcities.com/mld/krwashington/news/nation/2813844.htm Posted on Thu, Mar. 07, 2002 Enron scandal touches Fed; central bank asked to save documents By Miles Moffeit Knight Ridder Newspapers HOUSTON - The Justice Department is investigating contacts between the Federal Reserve Board and Enron Corp. and has told the central bank not to destroy any documents related to the bankrupt energy giant. It is unclear what paper trails investigators are pursuing. But Enron enjoyed special access to the Federal Reserve along with other institutions, including the White House, Congress and state public utility commissions. Both Kenneth Lay and Jeff Skilling, former Enron chief executives, met with Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan and other staff members over the past two years, and Skilling served as a director for a Federal Reserve branch bank in Houston. http://www.wired.com/news/print/0,1294,50964,00.html Spying: The American Way of Life? By Declan McCullagh 2:00 a.m. March 11, 2002 PST WASHINGTON -- Last month's revelation that President Bush wants hundreds of millions of dollars to invent innovative ways to spy on Americans was greeted not with suspicion, but shoulder-shrugging indifference. Save for a few battle-weary civil libertarians, not many people have been fretting about how cameras now monitor all downtown areas in Washington, or the unchecked spread of face-recognition cameras that spy on travelers in airports and sports fans in arenas. <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/";>www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
