Police cracking down on child porn, online solicitation - 3/24/02 - By Andy Kravetz of the Journal Star "For every child porn collector or online pedophile caught, Feehan said there are at least five to 10 more in the Tri-County Area doing the exact same thing." http://pjstar.com/news/topnews/g77268a.html Army Secretary White - 13 Calls to Enron Before Dumping Stock (source unknown) Last October, Army Secretary Thomas E. White, a former Enron Corp. executive, met or phoned former colleagues at the energy company as many as 13 times prior to his decision to sell more than 200,000 Enron shares at the end of that month, according to information he has provided a House committee. A letter hand-delivered Friday to the office of Rep. Henry A. Waxman (D-Calif.), the ranking member on the House Government Reform Committee, lists 44 calls White made from his home to former Enron colleagues since taking office last May. They do not include calls he may have received on that phone. These calls are in addition to 29 calls to and meetings with Enron colleagues that White disclosed in January. Those calls, he specified in the letter Friday, were made or received in his Pentagon office. The October telephone calls were made during a crucial period at Enron. That was the month in which accounting errors and financial misstatements first came into view, prompting a Securities and Exchange Commission investigation. Those disclosures undermined investor confidence and ultimately forced the company to file for bankruptcy, On Oct. 1, Enron shares closed at $29.15 each. On Oct. 24, White sold 121,663 shares at $16.10 and $16.15 a share. On Oct. 30, he sold 86,709 shares at $12.86 each. He sold off his directly held Enron stock from June to October for $12.1 million. By the end of November, an Enron share was worth 26 cents. http://www.swans.com/library/art8/gowans26.html Dealing With The F-Word - A Book Review by Stephen Gowans - March 25, 2002 David McGowan, Understanding the F-Word: American Fascism and the Politics of Illusion, (Writers Club Press, 2001) 264 pages, $19.95.

When the Spanish fascist General Franco, enlisting the aid of Hitler and Mussolini, initiated a civil war that would eventually see the Republican government of Spain fall, the United States not only stood by, it prohibited American citizens from helping the Republican cause. Why would an apparently democratic, presumably antifascist country, prevent its citizens from fighting fascism and restoring democracy? .... Flush with success in Spain, European fascism struck again. Mussolini bombed desperately poor Ethiopia. And not to be outdone (by far), Nazi Germany invaded more than a dozen European countries, establishing a front with the Soviet Union, whose destruction the Nazis desperately sought. Washington still did nothing. In June 1941, the Nazis invaded the Soviet Union, launching a campaign that would eventually cost the Soviets eight to 12 million men and usher 16 million Soviet civilians into an early grave. And still, the United States did nothing. Instead, as the Nazis pushed into the Soviet Union, Washington watched, and US businesses, among them, the Wall Street powerhouse Brown Brothers/Harriman, profited. The firm, two of whose principals were Prescott Bush and Herbert Walker, great-grandfather and grandfather of President George W. Bush, eventually had its assets seized under the Trading with the Enemy Act, when Washington finally got around to deciding Nazi Germany was an enemy (on paper, anyway.) http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A16892-2002Mar25.html Afghan War Is a Lab for U.S. Innovation New Technologies Are Tested in Battle By Vernon Loeb Washington Post Staff Writer Tuesday, March 26, 2002; Page A16 Within weeks of the attacks on New York and the Pentagon last September, dozens of government scientists and engineers at the Defense Threat Reduction Agency in Fairfax County began working virtually around the clock to develop a powerful new bomb.
