from L Moss Sharman The Mormon Image, From Alien to Human By Janet Maslin 7/17/03 Book called : "Under the Banner of Heaven" "Mr. Krakauer has also shoehorned in a chapter about the abduction of Elizabeth Smart at age 14 and a covetous polygamist, Brian David Mitchell, the chief suspect in the case. This section is more obligatory than revealing, but it underscores the pattern of sexual abuse and incest that runs through this material. Among many examples unearthed by Mr. Krakauer is that of a man named Kenyon Blackmore. One of his daughters says she was raped by him and says he means to "marry" her sisters when each one turns 12." http://www.nytimes.com/2003/07/17/books/17MASL.html
The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v. Ross G., Appellant No. 1081E Supreme Court of New York, Appellate Division, Second Department 163 A.D.2d 529; 558 N.Y.S.2d 603; 1990 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 8786 "In 1987, Arnold Friedman, a retired high school teacher, was arrested on Federal charges for using the mails to send and receive child pornography. A subsequent investigation disclosed that Friedman, who ran an after-school computer program in his Great Neck home, and his son, Jesse Friedman, had been sexually abusing the young boys who had been regularly attending the computer classes. Arnold Friedman was arrested on State charges with respect to the sexual abuse crimes, and upon his guilty plea, was sentenced, inter alia, to 8 1/3 to 25 years' imprisonment, in addition to his sentence on the Federal charges. In connection with the investigation of the Friedmans, police were led to the defendant, a friend of Jesse Friedman, who had also sexually abused some of the [*530] boys who had been attending the computer classes. The defendant, who was 15 and 16 years old when he committed the crimes, became repulsed by them, and six months before the Friedmans were arrested, the defendant [***4] disassociated himself from Jesse Friedman and his activities. Following the defendant's indictment for a number of sex crimes, including class B violent felonies, the prosecution, with the approval of the victims' families, approached the defendant's counsel and sought the defendant's assistance in strengthening the case against Jesse Friedman, and in providing information concerning two other individuals suspected of being involved in the crimes."

A Diocesan 'Shell Game' $5M Lawsuit Targets Bishop's Perks, Lack Of Salary 7/16/03 By Stephanie Saul Staff Writer "Bishop Thomas Daily presides over the Roman Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn, a job with perks - a staff, first-class travel and the use of a mansion. Yet lawyers for Daily claim he is not paid as an officer or director of the diocese and, therefore, can't be sued." http://www.newsday.com/news/local/newyork/nyc-abuse0717,0,1852312.story?coll=ny-nynews-headlines
The Case for Abolishing Child Abuse Statutes of Limitations, And For Victims' Forgoing Settlement In Favor of A Jury Trial by Marci Hamilton [EMAIL PROTECTED] 7/17/03 "Recently, in Stogner v. California, the Supreme Court struck down as unconstitutional California's law retroactively lifting the statute of limitations on child abuse. The Court held that the law violated the Constitution's Ex Post Facto Clause, which prohibits certain retroactive criminal laws. The purpose of the Clause is to protect citizens from arbitrary government action changing the legal status of actions that occurred in the past. Abuse victims were deeply and understandably upset by the decision in Stogner. As a result of the ruling, predators bound for prison got off scot free....Some of the ugliest comments in the clergy child abuse scandal have been by defenders of the Church who have argued that since the child knows what is happening during the abuse, a short statute of limitations is fair. Not only are their comments cruel, but their premise is inaccurate. Children often live with the ugliness of child abuse for years, held within themselves, precisely because they are not certain exactly what happened, or how to judge it. They need maturity to comprehend the situation." http://writ.news.findlaw.com/hamilton/20030717.html

How British troops raped Kenyans Archers Post, Northern Kenya 7/16/03 "Some have remained silent for 30 years. But now the Samburu and Masaai women, as well as their young men, are coming forward to tell their stories: how they were raped and sodomised by British soldiers on manoeuvres in northern Kenya." http://www.mg.co.za/Content/l3.asp?ao=17298&t=1
Revealing Pair of Eyes - New Software Blends Images to Spot Hidden Weapons By Paul Eng "The setup uses two cameras. One camera takes normal digital images while a separate camera uses a new chip called a millimeter-wave (MMW) sensor.The new sensor, based on MMW radar developed by the military, emits very high frequency radio waves that can penetrate clothing and walls to reveal metal objects such as guns and knives. The resulting image looks much like an X-ray photograph....Blum's system goes a bit further that just revealing what's under a person's clothes." http://abcnews.go.com/sections/scitech/FutureTech/fusedimages030708.html

The Observer International Scandal-hit US firm wins key contracts
Scandal-hit US firm wins key contracts
Antony Barnett Sunday April 13, 2003 A US military contractor accused of human rights violations has won a multi-million-dollar contract to police post-Saddam Iraq, The Observer can reveal. DynCorp, which has donated more than �100,000 to the Republican Party, began recruiting for a private police force in Iraq last week on behalf of the US State Department. The awarding of such a sensitive contract to DynCorp has caused consternation in some circles over the company's policing record. A British employment tribunal recently forced DynCorp to pay �110,000 in compensation to a UN police officer it unfairly sacked in Bosnia for whistleblowing on DynCorp colleagues involved in an illegal sex ring.
