Book Review - Betrayed as Boys: Psychodynamic Treatment of Sexually Abused Men by Richard B Gartner - Guilford Press, New York, NY, 1999. Reviewed by Eric Medcalf, BA (Hons); Cert.Appl.Soc.Stud. (Aberdeen); C.Q.S.W.; Dip. Psychother. (Sheffield); MNZAC. Psychotherapist and Supervisor in Private Practice, Wellington, New Zealand. When a boy is sexually abused he suffers an assault on his body, his developing personality and on his manhood. Our socialisation tells us that men are not supposed to be victims. We are meant to be in control of our environment. To be abused sexually by an adult man, or a woman is a challenge to the way we see ourselves and a betrayal of the trust that is necessary for healthy development. The consequences are distortions of inter- and intra-personal functioning, dissociative patterns, misplaced aggression and, often, repeated failure to engage in satisfying relationships with others." http://human-nature.com/nibbs/03/gartner.html
two from L Moss Sharman Abused seeks $4M Priest in prison for '80s assaults By Sam Pazzano, Courts Bureau Toronto Sun "A former Catholic priest and his diocese are being sued for almost $4 million in a Toronto courtroom for the "depraved and callous" sexual abuse of a young teen almost 20 years ago. According to a statement of claim, Father Thomas O'Dell stripped the 13-year-old boy, pinned him atop a church altar and forced him to fellate him. The Catholic priest later sodomized the youth with a wooden crucifix while in his office. O'Dell is now serving a 30-month sentence in a Kingston penitentiary for the attacks, which a judge branded as "depraved and callous." http://www.canoe.ca/TorontoNews

If the nation escalates to "red alert," which is the highest in the color-coded readiness against terror, you will be assumed by authorities to be the enemy if you so much as venture outside your home, the state's anti-terror czar says."This state is on top of it," said Sid Caspersen, New Jersey's director of the office of counter-terrorism.Caspersen, a former FBI agent, was briefing reporters, alongside Gov. James E. McGreevey, on Thursday, when for the first time he disclosed the realities of how a red alert would shut the state down.A red alert would also tear away virtually all personal freedoms to move about and associate....

US warns Belgium over 'genocide law'
19 March 2003 BRUSSELS - The United States has warned Belgium about the effects of its so-called genocide legislation that allows suits against foreign leaders on what Washington considers to be politically motivated charges. Secretary of State Colin Powell told reporters in Washington that if such prosecutions proliferated, it could be difficult for senior officials to visit Belgium, home of the Nato headquarters.
On Tuesday the families of victims of a US attack on a shelter in Baghdad in 1991 during the first Gulf War announced they planned to file a complaint in Belgium against Powell, former President George Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney and former US commander General Norman Schwarzkopf. The complaint would be under Belgium's genocide law, which enables courts to hear human rights cases, wherever the crimes were committed in the world. Colin Powell was chairman of the joint chiefs of staff under Bush, father of the current president, when the US went to war against Iraq in 1991. US pilots on 12 February 1991 attacked an air raid shelter in Baghdad, killing more than 400 people, most of them women and children.

3/19/2003 Scalia bans broadcast media from free speech event CLEVELAND (AP) — Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia banned broadcast media from his speech Wednesday at an appearance where he received an award for supporting free speech.
Scalia did not mention the ban, which he insisted upon, and television reporters were allowed to see him accept the City Club's Citadel of Free Speech Award before his remarks. The justice did not take any questions from reporters.
The club usually tapes speakers for later broadcast on public television, but Scalia insisted on banning television and radio coverage of his speech, the club said.
"I might wish it were otherwise, but that was one of the criteria that he had for acceptance," said James Foster, the club's executive director.
Cameras and recording devices are banned from the Supreme Court chamber, and Scalia prefers not to have camera coverage in other settings, said Kathleen Arberg, spokeswoman for the court. The ban on broadcast media "begs disbelief and seems to be in conflict with the award itself," C-SPAN vice president and executive producer Terry Murphy wrote in a letter last week to the City Club. "How free is speech if there are limits to its distribution?" Barbara Cochran, president of the Radio-Television News Directors Association in Washington, D.C., criticized the ban Wednesday in a letter to Foster. "The irony of excluding journalists from an event designed to celebrate the First Amendment's guarantee of free speech is obvious to all," Cochran wrote.
