from L Moss Sharman Archbishop to reopen disputed abuse claim by Robin Washington 9/25/03 "A man vilified as a ``pathological liar'' when his clergy abuse claim was thrown out by the Archdiocese of Boston last year will have his case reopened, Archbishop Sean P. O'Malley said in a letter to a victims advocacy group....In August 2002, Edwards filed suit claiming abuse by Monsignor Michael Smith Foster, Boston's chief canon lawyer, and the late Rev. William Cummings. He withdrew it after Foster's supporters launched a media campaign, priimarily in The Boston Globe, branding Edwards a lifelong liar. Amid the controversy, a priest-psychiatrist, Dr. Edwin ``Ned'' Cassem wrote a medical opinion calling Edwards a ``pathological liar.'' But Cassem later admitted he never met Edwards, and the allegations against Edwards' veracity by Foster's other supporters could not be substantiated - prompting victims' groups to demand that the church reopen the case." http://www2.bostonherald.com/news/local_regional/chur09252003.htm

US aggression breeds terror: UN chief
By Caroline Overington, Herald Correspondent in New York and Maggie Farley
September 24, 2003
"The United Nations Secretary-General, Kofi Annan, attacked American foreign policy - warning it could stoke terrorism and global chaos - just hours before President George Bush was due to defend the US-led invasion of Iraq in a speech to the UN. Mr Annan said the use of military force against terrorist groups could encourage more terrorism, while pre-emptive strikes could lead to a lawless world where nations attack one another "with or without justification". Without mentioning the US or its allies in Iraq by name, he told a New York conference on terrorism that nations were deluded if they believed military action alone could end terrorism."

GOP targets Iraq-war critics
Defending Bush policy, leaders hit Kennedy for his "fraud" remark. Democrats argued for debate.
By James Kuhnhenn Inquirer Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON - Amid signs of weakening public support for President Bush, Republican leaders yesterday launched a vigorous defense of administration policy in Iraq, denouncing its critics and saving their toughest words for liberal Democratic Sen. Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts. Democrats fought back, accusing the Republicans of trying to impugn the patriotism of critics and silence legitimate debate on a policy that is dividing Americans. Kennedy drew the brunt of the Republican attack because of his accusation last week that the war in Iraq was a politically motivated "fraud" and that the administration had to "bribe" allies to join the coalition that is in Iraq....
Democrats specifically have targeted Bush's request for $87 billion to pay for military and reconstruction costs in Iraq and Afghanistan, a sum that even some Republicans find daunting. A new poll by the Pew Research Center indicated that 59 percent of those surveyed oppose spending the money, and half say the United States should cede some military control to the United Nations, a suggestion Bush has rejected.

ACLU expands suit over protest zones
Three groups joined Phila.'s ACORN in suing for being kept from view at Bush or Cheney visits. By Jonathan Salant Associated Press
WASHINGTON - Giving national scope to a federal civil rights suit filed this year in Philadelphia, the American Civil Liberties Union yesterday accused the Secret Service of keeping anti-Bush demonstrators far from presidential appearances while letting supporters display their messages up close. ACLU officials announced the filing of an amended version of a lawsuit filed July 24 on behalf of ACORN, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, after protesters said they were forced out of the President's view at a Bush speech in Northeast Philadelphia.
