Russian television and the Interfax news agency reported that an unidentified female C.I.A. officer working as a midlevel American diplomat had been forced to leave Moscow after the espionage plot, which took aim at Russian weapons projects and military work with former Soviet nations, was foiled." http://www.nytimes.com/2002/04/11/international/europe/11RUSS.html Man Accused of Rape in Satanic Rituals Nears Release - 04/09/02 AP "The former Thurston County sheriff's deputy who pleaded guilty to raping his daughters in satanic rituals is nearing release from prison. The state Corrections Department says Paul Ingram can be released from a Delaware prison when he has a plan for treatment and counseling.

Richard Ofshe (1992, 1994) set forth a narrative of the case which included his account of an experiment to test the veracity of Ingram's confessions and concluded that the inadvertent use of hypnosis during Ingram's interrogation resulted in the creation of pseudomemories that convinced Ingram of his guilt.

Among those advocates is Seattle-based Chuck Noah, a former Lewis County resident, who says he himself was falsely accused of abuse by his daughter after a therapist encouraged her to remember events that Noah claims were fictitious." Court of Appeals Division I - State of Washington - Opinion Information Sheet - Docket Number: 41241-8-I - Title of Case: David L. Calof, Respondent v. Charles "chuck" Noah, Et. al., Appellants ... 09/11/2000, SOURCE OF APPEAL, Superior Court of King County, Docket No: 95-2-15224-4, ....Noah and Casebeer were involved in activities protesting Calof's work in repressed memory recovery. Calof secured an antiharassment order against Noah. Noah was found in contempt for violating the antiharassment order. Noah challenges the antiharassment order and his conviction for contempt on the grounds it violated First Amendment rights including free speech, the right to picket, and the right to photograph Calof in public. We hold an antiharassment order may place enforceable limits of First Amendment rights as needed to enforce the no contact provisions of the order. We affirm the antiharassment order and his conviction for contempt. Calof sued Casebeer and others for defamation and other injuries. Casebeer and others entered voluntarily and knowingly into a mediated settlement agreement. Casebeer repudiated the agreement on the grounds that she could not lawfully contract away First Amendment rights, such as speech and picketing. The trial court held that the agreement was enforceable. We hold that mere enforcement of the agreement does not constitute state action for purposes of constitutional analysis. The agreement is enforceable. We affirm. http://www.courts.wa.gov/opinions/opindisp.cfm?docid=412418MAJ http://www.sunspot.net/news/opinion/oped/bal-pe.column07apr07.story Action speaks against words Records: Though President Bush says he envisions a world that settles disputes with "reason and good will," he is deepening U.S. ties with countries that commit human-rights abuses. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- By Frida Berrigan Knight Ridder/tribune Originally published April 7, 2002 In a speech marking the six-month anniversary of Sept. 11, President Bush envisioned a "peaceful world beyond terror" where "disputes can be settled within the bounds of reason and good will and mutual security." But Bush's coalition against terrorism is deepening U.S. military ties with countries that don't settle their disputes "within the bounds of reason and good will." In fact, many of these countries commit human-rights abuses that are well documented by the State Department. Last month, the department released its annual "Country Reports on Human Rights Practices." It lists 52 countries that are receiving U.S. military training or weapons as having "poor" or "very poor" human-rights records. http://wire.ap.org/APnews/?SITE=DCTMS&FRONTID=HOME Court Martial Changes Issued By MATT KELLEY Associated Press Writer AP/Susan Walsh WASHINGTON (AP) — Military courts could sentence some criminals to life without parole and forbid witnesses from talking to reporters under changes to the manual for courts-martial issued by the White House Friday. http://www.amnestyusa.org/news/2002/usa04102002.html Amnesty International Report Charges US is 'Safe Haven' for Torturers Fleeing Justice Eight Years On, US Has Failed to Prosecute a Single Individual for Torture USA Campaign to Stop Torture (Washington, DC) -- The US government admits that as many as 1,000 suspected torturers may have fled to the US to escape justice, but has failed to prosecute a single case in the eight years since US law made prosecution for acts of torture possible. At today's release of a new 100-page report, "USA: A Safe Haven for Torturers," Amnesty International criticized the inaction as a failure of political will that risks making the US a sanctuary for the world's human rights abusers. Amnesty International urged the immediate prosecution under the Convention against Torture of suspected torturers who are living in the US or held in INS detention on immigration charges. The US ratified the Convention against Torture in 1994 and incorporated it into US law as 18 U.S.C. § 2340A. Amnesty International's research confirms that at least 150 suspected torturers are living in the US, none of whom has been prosecuted for their crimes. US authorities have failed to prosecute any of these cases despite having been notified of many of the identities of the suspects and the evidence against them. <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/";>www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
