Mon May 22 The Supreme Court reaffirmed Monday that police can enter homes in emergencies without knocking or announcing their presence.
Comment: Skipping merrily towards overt fascism in the U.S. Remember, keep smiling, even when they come to drag you away to a stockade for being a "disgruntled citizen":
Mr Ridge announced a tightening of controls at airports, railways and ports, as well as around nuclear and chemical plants, the White House, and monuments and landmarks across the nation. New York's mayor Michael Bloomberg fleshed out the city's own plan, Operation Atlas, including a significantly increased police presence and the use of radiation sensors on Manhattan streets. |

May 23, 2006 LOS ANGELES -- An elderly man on an American Airlines flight was restrained by passengers, including television's "Dr. 90210," after he got out of his seat and shoved a flight attendant late Monday, officials said.
The jetliner landed safely in Los Angeles and police took the 80-year-old man, who did not speak English, to a hospital for a 72-hour mental observation, airport spokeswoman Nancy Castles said. "He evidently started to panic about 15 minutes before landing, when everyone is supposed to be buckled into seats," Castles said. |

DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER May 23, 2006 A New School student apologized to Sen. John McCain for hijacking his commencement address, but said her controversial speech was "what my conscience called for."
"I said, 'I'm really sorry I had to do that.' And he said, 'Oh, it's all right, I understand,'" Jean Sara Rohe told the Daily News yesterday. Rohe, 21, said she was unprepared for the angry response she got from McCain's camp after she spoke out against his support of the Iraq war and her fellow graduates heckled and booed him. The Republican senator from Arizona, who is widely expected to make a bid for the presidency in 2008, said the New School students "could learn a lesson in courtesy." One of his aides called Rohe "an idiot." Comment: You see, to the pathocrats, telling the truth is shameful vanity and idiocy, and must be crushed at all costs. Telling lies and waging illegal, preemptive wars is "bravery".

May 22, 2006 NASHVILLLE, Tenn. -- It appears the war U.S. country radio stations mounted against the politically outspoken Dixie Chicks has not abated in the least.
The band is promoting "Taking the Long Way," its first album since Natalie Maines told a London audience in 2003 she was ashamed to be from the same state as U.S. President George Bush. The comment sparked a radio boycott of the group's music. |

May 22, 2006 WASHINGTON -- As concerns rise over Iran's nuclear program, U.S. security agents reportedly fear the Hezbollah terror group may be planning to attack U.S. cities.
The New York Post, quoting sources, said the Lebanon-based fundamentalist Islamic group may be planning to activate sleeper cells in New York or other big cities. The investigation is being carried out by the FBI and the Justice Department. Quoting law-enforcement and intelligence officials, the newspaper said about a dozen hard-core supporters of Hezbollah have been identified in recent weeks as operating in the New York area. The Iranian Mission to the United Nations also is being watched. But U.S. officials also told the newspaper there is no intelligence information pointing to an imminent attack by Hezbollah. The stepped up security activity comes after reports that Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad had met with leaders of Hezbollah and other terror groups during a visit to Syria, the report said Comment: Remember, the only attacks that have taken place against American targets in America in the past 15 years have been carried out by the U.S. government itself, and Israel of course. Any future attack is likely therefore to come from the same sources.

By MATTHEW BARAKAT Associated Press Writer ROCKVILLE, Md. (AP) - Prosecutors in the second trial of convicted sniper John Allen Muhammad prepared a dramatic conclusion to their case Tuesday with expected testimony from their star witness: Muhammad's teenage accomplice in their 2002 killing spree, Lee Boyd Malvo.
A person close to the case said Malvo is expected to strike a deal with prosecutors and testify against Muhammad, whom Malvo once viewed as a father figure. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the trial is still underway. |

May 22, 2006 Although the Bush administration continues to exploit September 11 to justify domestic spying, unprecedented spending and a permanent state of war, a new Zogby poll reveals that less than half of the American public trusts the official 9/11 story or believes the attacks were adequately investigated.

Associated Press May 22, 2006 BOSTON - A few students turned their backs but more stood to applaud as Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice received an honorary degree and addressed graduates at Boston College on Monday.
After weeks of turmoil and anti-war protests over Rice's invitation to address the Catholic school, Rice told graduates that their education comes with responsibilities. She drew scattered applause when she discussed what she called a "commitment to reason," or an obligation to test and challenge their own views. "There is nothing wrong with holding an opinion and holding it passionately," Rice said, "but at those times when you are absolutely sure you're right, go find someone who disagrees." Comment:
"...at those times when you are absolutely sure you're right, go find someone who disagrees."It's too bad Condi doesn't take her own advice when she's working at the White House. |
