"An Atlanta police narcotics officer has told federal investigators at
least one member of his unit lied about making a drug buy at the home of
an elderly woman killed in a subsequent raid, according to a person close
to the investigation.
In an affidavit to get a search warrant at the home Nov. 21, narcotics
officer Jason R. Smith told a magistrate he and Officer Arthur Tesler had
a confidential informant buy $50 worth of crack at 933 Neal St. from a man
named "Sam."
But narcotics officer Gregg Junnier, who was wounded in the shootout, has
since told federal investigators that did not happen, according to the
person close to the investigation. Police got a no-knock warrant after
claiming that "Sam" had surveillance cameras outside the Neal Street
residence and they needed the element of surprise to capture him and the
drugs.
The resident at the home, Kathryn Johnston, who is reported to be either
88 or 92, was startled by the sound of her burglar-bar door being battered
in, and she fired her revolver at the officers. She was killed and three
officers were wounded by gunfire or shrapnel.

Astronaut Faces Attempted Murder, Kidnapping Charges Over Alleged NASA
Love Triangle
FLORIDA V. LISA MARIE NOWAK (CRIMINAL AFFIDAVITS)
February 5, 2007
NASA space shuttle astronaut Lisa Marie Nowak faces attempted murder,
kidnapping, and related charges allegedly stemming from her competing
affections with another NASA employee over space shuttle astronaut Navy
Cmdr. Bill Oefelein.
According to a detective's affidavit, Nowak drove 900 miles from Houston,
Texas to Orlando, Florida, "urinated in diapers so that she did not need
to stop, stayed at a hotel where she paid cash" using a false name,
"stealthily followed the victim, while in disguise, and possessed multiple
deadly weapons at the time she confronted the victim." Investigators
believe that Nowak intended to murder NASA engineer Colleen Shipman,
another woman reportedly in a relationship with Oefelein.

U.S. Support for Democracy
In Serbia and Montenegro
Secretary Albright
1
<http://www.state.gov/www/publications/dispatch/Dec1999.pdf>
My EU colleagues, Foreign Minister Halonen, Foreign
Minister Gama, Commissioners Solana and Patten, and
distinguished representatives of the Yugoslav people: It is my
hope that historians will look back upon this meeting as a
turning point in the quest of the people of Serbia and
Montenegro to live in freedom and without fear.
Today, the representatives of the world.s leading democracies
come together to express solidarity with the leading
democrats of Yugoslavia. In response to your call, we are
here to support democratic change in Serbia and bolster
democratic forces throughout the FRY. We want to help all
the people of your country to have the opportunity to
express their views openly and choose their leaders fairly.
Milosevic does not want you to exercise your rights.
Week after week, he uses the blunt instrument of force to
muzzle critics and harass you, because you are brave enough
to demand a voice in determining your nation.s destiny.
He is perpetrating what Vuk Draskovic has referred to, based
on his personal experience, as .state terrorism.. And his
repression is felt throughout the country, including Vojvodina
and Sanjak.
Today, Milosevic.s only ally is fear. The contrast could
not be greater, for you, as democratic leaders, offer hope.
You offer a future for Yugoslavia as a proud and prosperous
partner within a strong and stable Europe.
Our purpose this afternoon is to discuss concrete steps
toward creating such a future.
First, we must continue to help the most vulnerable. To
this end, America will strive to diversify the channels by
which we and our partners provide assistance. Last year, we
gave $25 million in humanitarian aid to Serbia through
international organizations. We are developing plans for
additional amounts this year and will work with you to
establish more effective means for its delivery.
Second, we must support the construction of democratic
institutions, including independent media. After all,
democracies do not descend from the sky; they build from
the ground up. And it is only right that those who live in
freedom help those who seek to create the conditions for
freedom in their own lands. That is why the United States
will double its democratization assistance to Serbs this year
and why we pledge to get that assistance to you without
unnecessary delay.
Third, we must prepare now for economic recovery and
reform in a democratic Yugoslavia. We must consider
carefully the changes and initiatives required for your nation

Germany, December 17, 1999.

Human rights body reconsiders Inuit climate change petition
In a surprising about-face, the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights
has decided it will hold a hearing on whether climate change is a human
rights violation.
