US Conference of Catholic Bishops: statement condemning workplace raids as immigration enforcement tactic (Sept. 10, 2008)

Fri, 21 Nov 2008 08:31:26 GMT

The head of the immigration subcommittee of the US Catholic Bishops conference criticizes the increasing use of large-scale armed workplace raids by the ICE as a tool for immigration enforcement. He doesn't say this explicitly, but due primarily to demographic and economic factors, Catholic churches have often borne the brunt of the massive humanitarian relief costs that arise in the wake of these raids, particularly in caring for abandoned children and other dependent family members (many of whom, not that it should matter, are actually U.S. citizens).

Indicting the hacker who broke into Sarah Palin's private email - Harpers.org

Fri, 21 Nov 2008 07:44:46 GMT

The DOJ has mounted an extraordinary case against the hacker who revealed Sarah Palin's apparent systematic violation of the Open Records Act (by using a private email address to conduct government business). Given that the DOJ normally doesn't care much about cyber-crime, one has to wonder how the decision to allocate those resources was made.

Pre-RNC raids: so who hates freedom now?

Fri, 21 Nov 2008 07:44:32 GMT

Doesn't look like any evidence has been uncovered thus far of intent to commit anything beyond non-violent protests. Kind of an unnerving story if you ask me, but, hey, it's a post-9/11 world, and the cops are just trying to keep us all safe, right? (It's funny, when I was a kid growing up in the eighties, there used to be after-school specials about how this kind of thing happened in apartheid South Africa.)
