--- Begin Message ----Caveat Lector- Greetings. Federal prosecutors decline to bring charges against most of the police officers, prison guards and other government officials who the investigative agencies have determined should face criminal charges for violating the civil rights of individual Americans, according to authoritative Justice Department data.This is the central finding of the second of two special reports by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC) focusing on different aspects of how the government enforces the nation's civil rights laws. The second report is embargoed for Wednesday, December 1. The first report (Nov 22) examined all kinds of civil rights enforcement actions and concluded this effort had declined during the Bush Administration. The second report focuses only on the government's efforts to deal with abusive officials. Under a law going back to the period immediately after the Civil War, the government has long been the court of last resort in these kinds of cases. The statute makes it a crime to deprive any person of their rights "under color of law." Justice Department data going back for more than 25 years show that the high proportion of declined cases under this law has existed in every administration. In addition to national data, TRAC's report also provides information about how each US Attorney's office in the country has dealt with these sensitive cases in the last few years. The report is now available on the web at http://trac.syr.edu/tracreports/civright/107/ under password, but embargoed for Wednesday, December 1 (6:30 pm Tuesday). Reporters, to gain immediate free access to TRAC's special Civil Rights Enforcement report call our Syracuse office at 315-443-3563. To see TRAC's earlier report examining the overall record of Bush Administration go to TRAC's public web site -- http://trac.syr.edu -- and click on TRAC Reports. Support for both reports was received from the Carnegie Foundation, the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation and the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights Education Fund. David Burnham and Susan B.

Proselytizing propagandic screeds are unwelcomed. Substance—not soap-boxing—please! These are sordid matters and 'conspiracy theory'—with its many half-truths, mis- directions and outright frauds—is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRLgives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers; be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credence to Holocaust denial and nazi's need not apply.
