Great posts, both of you.
C, you have a style all your own and the Truth comes through loud and clear! Praise G~d for your vision.
P.D., excellent stuff. You have done great research and have made correct and powerful conclusions. Patrick Swiney's letter Too Late for Debate is a must read.
Here are more links on the falsely accused:
WINDS - George Hansen, "Diesel Therapy" and Susan McDougal
Congressman Hansen's Injuries Inflicted by Federal Marshals.
Marshals Shackle Congressman Hansen -- "Diesel Therapy" -- Hansen found Innocent!
And that justifies coercing a confession of guilt from the innocent??? Are we to believe that it is acceptable to jail someone for crimes he MAY have committed now, even though it is certain he didn't commit the crime for which he is imprisoned?
That scary thought has occurred to me, too.
I think it's far more likely that we'll learn some hard lessons about politically amibitious DAs who push police to get convictions at any cost. It has already been shown that Oklahoma City's police chemist, Joyce Gilchrist, quite literally fabricated evidence when none existed. She testified to substances on clothing that later testing proved were not there, just for instance. No, let's not blame the science in these DNA cases. Lets look at who's doing the testing, who's pushing for convictions, and why. It's not enough to convict "someone." It must be the right someone.
But is it, really? Is it not like the parent who wants their kid out of his hair, so he gives the kid $20 and tells him to go do something with it? Is that parent being 'charitable', or merely lazy?
Now look at the allegations of fraud and mismanagement in many of these large charitible NGOs like the Red Cross and the United Way.
But hey, those guys blindly throwing money to these big charities can say proudly that they Gave, and are Good People, and are Charitible. And the parent can say he's a Good Parent because he spends money on his child.

The ends justifies the means, even if it perverts the law and makes a mockery out of the judicial system that helps maintain our society. Wonderful, in stead of fixing what is broken, they go out and make it worse.
