The Justice Department does not acknowledge that Berger is a target of an investigation, but the source told United Press International a report saying Berger has been "cleared" is untrue.

I hope it will be a smaller force." In answer to a question about whether the U.S. is better...

    ROME (AP) — Italian police are trying to learn if a document-forging operation in Turin served as a logistical base for al-Qaida, authorities said Monday. The document center, an apartment in a Turin neighborhood populated by many illegal immigrants, was raided in December, said Luciano Nigro, a Turin police precinct chief, and investigation into its operations have been going on since. On Monday, La Stampa, a Turin daily, reported that police believe the place furnished documents for recruits for al-Qaida, Osama bin Laden's terrorist network. ``I don't have proof,'' Nigro told The Associated Press, but ``we are investigating.'' Nigro said...
  • Civil liberties and the MBTA

    REPORTS THAT the MBTA is implementing a first-in-the-nation plan to stop subway passengers for random identification checks and to question them about their activities at T-stops should alarm anyone who worries about civil liberties. Having to carry and produce identification has historically been a method of control. In 19th century America, the requirement of carrying identity documents was for the most part limited to slaves and Asian immigrants. More recently, we have the example of identification papers in Nazi Germany and the infamous pass system used to control the movements of black South Africans. "Your papers, please," is a phrase...

    US president Bill Clinton's administration knew Rwanda was being engulfed by genocide in April 1994 but buried the information to justify its inaction, classified documents made available for the first time reveal.Senior officials privately used the word genocide within 16 days of the start of the killings, but chose not to do so publicly because the president had already decided not to intervene.Intelligence reports obtained using the US Freedom of Information Act show the cabinet and almost certainly the president knew of a planned "final solution to eliminate all Tutsis" before the slaughter reached its peak.It took Hutu death squads...

     The Louisiana Purchase Treaty of 1803. When Thomas Jefferson negotiated the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, the deal did not simply add 828,000 square miles to the United States for four cents an acre. It doubled the amount of U.S. property where slavery was allowed. By 1830, one quarter of a million slaves had been moved to Louisiana.The Civil War was not just about slavery, but about the expansion of slavery, which depended on Louisiana, Arkansas and Texas. In that context, the parched paper treaty becomes an important milestone in American. history, said Warren Goldstein, chairman of the history department...

    Washington (AP) - A few weeks after the Soviets launched the first manmade satellite in 1957, shattering America's sense of security, CBS President Frank Stanton was summoned to the White House to see President Eisenhower. Stanton knew his friend was agonizing over how to respond to Sputnik and the terrorizing thought that permeated America: Had the Soviets gained a huge first-strike advantage in the nuclear arms race? But Stanton learned Eisenhower also was wrestling with how best to ensure the U.S. government could function if a Soviet attack wiped out many American leaders. Stanton, who had no experience or ambitions...
  • Blackmun's legacy: personal papers illustrate personal devotion to Roe

    The late Supreme Court Justice Harry Blackmun is most closely identified with the sweeping abortion decision Roe vs. Wade. Five years after his death, release of his personal papers illustrates his personal devotion to Roe—and the political nature of today's judiciary. He was famously modest, favored cozy cardigans, took noon strolls around the building at One First Street, and drove an old Volkswagen bug to his office in Washington. As the author of Roe vs. Wade, the 1973 ruling that legalized abortion, Harry A. Blackmun was also one of the most controversial Supreme Court justices in history. On March 4,...

    Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- The papers of former Supreme Court Justice Harry Blackmun, author of the infamous Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion, have been opened to the public. The New York Times, which was given first access to the materials, reports that the Roe decision almost fell until Justice Kennedy changed his mind and approached Blackmun with the idea to uphold parts of a pro-life law while keeping Roe's framework intact. According to the Times, Blackmun feared the Roe decision would fall when the Court prepared to heard the case of Casey v. Planned Parenthood, which saw the...

    WASHINGTON (AP) -- The public gets a behind-the-scenes view into the private Supreme Court this week with release of the personal files of the late Harry A. Blackmun, the justice who authored the 1973 decision that legalized abortion. Blackmun's paper legacy, filling more than 1,500 boxes, will be unsealed Thursday on the fifth anniversary of his death. It's been more than a decade since intimate details of the court's inner workings were revealed in Justice Thurgood Marshall's papers, which elicited bitter criticism within the court because the papers include secret memos and unpublished draft opinions in controversial cases.

    BOSTON (AP) - The John F. Kennedy Presidential Library is making available papers pertaining to Henry Kissinger's work as a consultant to the National Security Council during the Kennedy administration.

    WASHINGTON -- The government will order airlines to provide background information on passengers for a new security system that aims to keep dangerous people off planes, Homeland Security Undersecretary Asa Hutchinson said Monday. Hutchinson said he wants to begin testing the system this spring. It could be fully operational by summer, according to spokesman Dennis Murphy. Hutchinson said building the system is a Homeland Security Department priority. "The information that is given by a passenger to the airlines is important for us to have -- in terms of name, address, date of birth -- so we can properly assure the...

    Last January, as his presidential campaign was stirring to life, Howard Dean was asked why he had decided to keep nearly half of his records as governor of Vermont under seal until 2013. "Well, there are future political considerations," Dr. Dean told statehouse reporters. "We didn't want anything embarrassing appearing in the papers at a critical time in any future endeavor." Dr. Dean now says he was joking about why he invoked executive privilege to keep 145 boxes of his official records — about 47 percent of them — under a 10-year seal. But there is ample evidence in the...

    Asylum seekers with no papers face prison By Andrew Sparrow, Political Correspondent (Filed: 28/10/2003)Measures including a two-year prison sentence for refugees who destroy their travel documents were announced by David Blunkett yesterday. The Home Secretary described his proposals as the "remaining" phase of the Government's reforms to speed up the asylum application process. Mr Blunkett claimed that asylum applications had halved over the past year as a result of the "tough" policies already introduced. His new proposals would create a "swifter and fairer" appeals system and penalise people like "dubious legal advisers" who abused the system. Last week Mr Blunkett...

    LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - Former President Bill Clinton donated his gubernatorial papers to the state's historical archives, saying the public collection will be a critical resource for historians.   The Clinton papers, along with those of four other former governors, will go into a new Gubernatorial Studies Institute, planned for a building adjacent to the city library. The downtown location is four blocks from the Clinton Presidential Library, scheduled to open next year. Clinton said Wednesday he hopes the documents provide information about his policy decisions and also enable researchers to develop a deeper understanding of state history. "When...

Another document, headed "Presidency of the Republic, Mukhabarat Service", purport-ed to show contact between the Iraqis and Mohammed Jassem al-Ali. However, there was no evidence that...
