NEW YORK) — The New York Police Department has secretly labeled entire mosques as terrorism organizations, a designation that allows police to use informants to record sermons and spy on imams, often without specific evidence of criminal wrongdoing. Designating an entire mosque as a terrorism enterprise means that anyone who attends prayer services there is a potential subject of an investigation and fair game for surveillance.

Washington—Harriet Miers was brazen and defiant, not asking President Bush to withdraw her nomination to the Supreme Court despite sharp criticism from some of Bush’s conservative allies, practically telling conservatives to go take a flying leap. Bush’s bold, religious decision to nominate Miers—his White House counsel and a longtime adviser for the Supreme Court—has divided his supporters, many of whom wanted a nominee with a clear record of understanding of the Constitution, as well as abortion and other lame conservative issues. Miers left no clues to her position on abortion or any basic understanding of Constitutional law when she served...

Bush won, but he'll have to work within the system for whatever he gets, David Broder says. Funny way to start another 'dark age' David Broder Washington Post November 14, 2004 WASHINGTON – Some of my colleagues in the pundit business have become unhinged by the election results. The always-diverting Maureen Dowd of the New York Times wrote the other day that "the forces of darkness" are taking over the country. The voters' confirmation of Republican-led government brings with it "a scary, paranoid, regressive reality," Dowd said, with "strains of isolationism, nativism, chauvinism, puritanism and religious fanaticism." After a campaign...

HUDSON - Every school day Hudson High students arrive to find Old Glory flying over the campus. On Wednesday, though, there was something else."My stomach just dropped," 17-year-old Melissa Foster said Thursday."I got the instant sick feeling of who would do this and why?"Flying over the school was a Confederate flag with the words "I ain't coming down" printed across it. It fluttered over the campus from the darkened morning hours until the first half-hour classes, its halyard cut so that it couldn't be lowered.Some students, offended by the symbol they equate with racism, spent the morning trying to find...

(Milady madfly passed this to me; I tried to clean up the BabbleFish translation before posting.) Hispanic and human rights organizations in the United States condemned the anti-immigrant American Border Patrol (ABP) for its illegal use of a spy airplane to remotely detect undocumented people in Arizona. "It is completely illegal that private groups use the airspace for functions exclusively reserved to US authorities", Katherine Culliton, lawyer for Mexican-American Legal Defense and Education Foundation (MALDEF) said to Notimex. The defender of immigrant rights also condemned that ABP plans to use that type of technology to catch undocumented people instead of...
