SEAN TAYLOR: THREE MURDER SUSPECTS CAPTURED

Three held for questioning in Sean Taylor killing, law enforcement source says
Updated Nov. 30, 2007

MIAMI (AP) — Police have detained at least three people in the Fort Myers area for questioning in the death of Washington Redskins football star Sean Taylor.

A law enforcement official in Lee County confirmed the men from the Fort Myers area were in custody, but requested anonymity because the investigation is being handled by Miami-Dade County police.

Miami-Dade police Detective Carlos Maura said he was not aware of anyone in custody. He said only that detectives were in the Fort Myers area for a case, but declined to say which one.

The Miami Herald, which first reported the development on its Web site, said investigators believe three suspects learned of Taylor's house through someone who unwittingly set up the burglary by bragging about his wealth. The suspects include two teenagers and a man in his 20s, all from the Fort Myers area, the paper reported.

Updated November 29, 2007

by Chris Durden

The search for 18-year-old Butler Community College student Emily Sander may be over. On Thursday, searchers found a body matching Sander's description along U.S. 54 about 50 miles east of El Dorado.

Map of location where the body was found

El Dorado Police Chief Tom Boren says the Sander's family has been notified even though a positive ID will likely take several days.

Sander was last seen Friday night leaving The Retreat bar. Police say she was with 24-year-old Israel Mireles. Police now say he is a suspect in the homicide investigation.

Earlier this week, a car rented by Mireles turned up in Vernon, Texas. Investigators believe Mireles is with his 16-year-old girlfriend, Victoria Martens. Martens is pregnant. Authorities say it's possible the two are heading to or are already in Mexico

Police say they have talked with the operators of an adult website that Sander posed for and believe it did not play a role in her disappearance.

Investigators also collected evidence from a motel room a short distance from the bar where Sander disappeared. Police say there was a lot of blood in the room and a floral print bed sheet (pictured) is missing. Authorities say anyone who finds it should contact law enforecment immediately.

CRIME ALERT!

ASSOCIATED PRESS, November 29, 2007

EL DORADO, Kan. — The preliminary physical description of a body found east of here matches that of missing college student Emily Sander, El Dorado Police Chief Tom Boren said.

Boren said the body was found around 2:20 p.m. Thursday, about 50 miles east of El Dorado, where the 18-year-old Sander had attended college and was last seen leaving a bar with a man who has been the subject of a nationwide search.

KUCINICH: THEY'RE COMING TO TAKE YOU AWAY

A GENUINE DENNIS KUCINICH TIN-FOIL-HAT KIT

Kucinich: Time to question Bush's mental health
THE PHILDELPHIA INQUIRER STAFF REPORT, Tue, Oct. 30, 2007

Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D. Ohio) suggested today that President Bush's comment about a nuclear Iran precipitating "World War III" is a sign of mental instability."

I seriously believe we have to start asking questions about his mental health," Kucinich, a back-of-the-pack candidate for president, said in an interview with The Inquirer's editorial board. "There's something wrong. He does not seem to understand his words have real impact."

At a news conference two weeks ago, Bush said, "I've told people that if you're interested in avoiding World War III, it seems like you ought to be interested in preventing them (Iran) from having the knowledge necessary to make a nuclear weapon."

“Dennis Kucinich has always been a hard guy to take seriously. but this takes the cake," said Dan Ronayne, Republican National Committee spokesman. "Maybe he thinks preposterous quotes are the only way he can get his failed campaign any attention.”

KUCINICH: MASTER OF FLIP-DIP THINKING...AND FASHION

Kucinich Protests Army School That Trains Latin American Soldiers

Sunday, November 18, 2007

FOX NEWS

COLUMBUS, Ga. — Democratic presidential hopeful Dennis Kucinich said Sunday the thinking that went into producing an Army school blamed for human rights abuses in Latin America was the same that led the U.S. to war in Iraq and could cause it to raid Iran.

Kucinich was speaking at the 18th annual protest of the school at Fort Benning that trains Latin American soldiers, police and government officials. One of his first acts as president if elected would be to close the school, he said.

"The type of thinking that produced this school is the same type of thinking that produced the war in Iraq and is producing a war against Iran," Kucinich said. The Ohio congressman and former Cleveland mayor was addressing a crowd estimated by local police to number roughly 10,000.

CANADA: LAW ALLOWS VOTING MUSLIM WOMEN TO CONCEAL FACE

Quebec politicians, Muslims slam new election rules on veils.
Federal law now allows women wearing niqabs or burkas to vote with their faces concealed.
Friday, September 7, 2007 CBC News

Quebec Premier Jean Charest is slamming new federal election rules that will allow Muslim women with concealed faces to vote in coming byelections, calling the policy a bad one.

(snip)

Muslim women wearing niqabs or burkas over their faces won't have to remove them to vote in the three byelections, according to Bill C-31, a new federal law.

Elections Canada spokesman John Enright says new electoral rules enacted in June provide guidelines to identify registered voters whose faces are hidden for medical or religious reasons.

The new rules give electors wearing niqabs or burkas an option for providing identification: they can present two pieces of ID, of which at least one must state their address, or they can have another voter registered in the same district vouch for them.

Veiled voters who only present one piece of government identification will have to show their face to confirm their identity, Enright said.

ALIENS EMBARRASSED BY KUCINICH

LONDON LIBRARIES CARRY RADICAL MUSLIMS BOOKS

Douglas Murray says taxpayers' money should not fund extremism.

Books by radical cleric Abu Hamza were found in London libraries.

Radical books in London libraries
By Richard Watson, Correspondent, BBC Newsnight

Public libraries serving the densest population of Muslims in London have been inundated with extremist literature, according to a report.

(snip)

Its main author Douglas Murray told BBC2 Newsnight: "This is a collection that is warped towards one particular extreme interpretation of Islam."

Most controversially, several books written by two of Britain's most notorious terrorist sympathisers were found in public libraries.

Two books by Abu Hamza al-Masri, who used to preach at Finsbury Park mosque, are in the collection, as is one book by Sheikh Abdullah al-Faisal, whose lectures inspired two of the London bombers. Both men have been convicted of incitement to murder, but not on the basis of these writings.

The former Islamist Ed Hussain, who grew up in Tower Hamlets, said: "The shocking thing is that this stuff is available and there are people out there borrowing it.

"The worry is how many of those people - it might be a small number, but small enough to cause carnage - who are then prepared to literally act upon those teachings."

Mr Murray said: "Taxpayers' money should not be used to fund extremism... after all the library system is meant to educate and inform, not to cause separatism and bigotry."

'Hatred of women'

The Tower Hamlets collections also include multiple works by the founders of modern political Islam, Sayed Qutb and Sayed Abdullah Maududi, and a large number of texts from Saudi scholars, promoting the Wahhabi fundamentalist school of thought.

These, the report says, refer to "incredible hatred of women, incredible hatred of non-Muslims... and of Muslims who are not part of the Wahhabi tradition".

UNITED NATION'S PEACEKEEPERS KEEPING MORE THAN PEACE

Sri Lankan authorities were involved in the investigation
Sri Lanka troops 'abused Haitians'

The UN is sending home more than 100 of the 950 Sri Lankan peacekeepers in Haiti, accusing them of sexual abuse, including with underage girls.

The UN said the troops had paid for sex and that some of the girls were minors.
UN peacekeepers have been involved in a series of sex-abuse scandals, including this year in Ivory Coast, where 800 were suspended.

The organisation said it had a "zero tolerance" policy but it was up to the supplying nations to discipline troops.

A 2005 UN report suggested a central disciplining policy but member nations could not agree.

INTERNATIONAL HUMAN TRAFFICKING VICTIMS GET HOME IN WASHINGTON STATE

ERIKA SCHULTZ / THE SEATTLE TIMES
Trong and Rani Hong are creating the first home in the state for international human-trafficking victims

Survivors of sorrow shelter the exploited
By Lornet Turnbull
The Seattle Times staff reporter

As a 7-year-old girl in southern India in 1978, she was taken from her parents and sold into slavery.

At the same time, a 9-year-old boy in Southeast Asia was surviving alone in a cave, after the fishing boat on which he was fleeing Vietnam became shipwrecked.

Rani and Trong Hong would eventually be rescued from their separate childhood nightmares and brought to safety in Washington state. They would meet as adults on a blind date, fall in love and marry.

Years passed before they shared the stories of their own sad pasts with one another — he because he chose not to remember, she because she couldn't, the trauma so great it had forced to her forget.

Now, motivated by the pain of their early years to help others, they are renovating a home exclusively for victims of human trafficking — people recruited, transported and harbored for sexual exploitation or slave labor.

(snip)
The U.S. government estimates that 14,500 to 17,500 victims are trafficked into the U.S. annually and about 1.2 million worldwide, although only a fraction are ever discovered.

In 2002, Washington became the first state to pass trafficking legislation and establish a task force whose member agencies, headquartered in Seattle, work with about 40 victims a year.

As a port city, Seattle is a hotbed for trafficking. Victims are often women and children — although men are trafficked, too — brought here from countries in Asia, Latin America and Eastern Europe.

Human trafficking is a sad crime. Trong and Rani Hong are devoting their lives to help other victims to escape and to survive.

FREE AUNG SAN SUU KYI

AUNG SAN SUU KYI

Worldwide Suu Kyi rallies begin

Activists are marking the 12th year of detention for Burmese democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi, in a series of protests taking place in 12 cities. Some are expected to happen at Chinese embassies, as campaigners say Beijing holds the key to Ms Suu Kyi's release.

In the Thai capital, Bangkok, a small group of activists gathered outside the Chinese embassy dressed in chains and wearing masks of Ms Suu Kyi, chanting: "Free, free, Aung San Suu Kyi."

The Nobel Peace Prize winner has been held by Burma's military junta, mostly under house arrest, since 1995.

Rallies are due to be held at midday, local time, in 11 other cities, including Brasilia, New York, and Cape Town.

Aung San Suu Kyi, an educated and celebrated woman in the world, remains under house arrest in Burma since the military junta took power...even though she won the popular vote in an election. She has not seen her two sons, who live in England, for years, and was forbidden a last visit with her husband before he died.

OBAMA: MUSLIM OR AMERICAN?

Obama: No Hand on Heart for National Anthem

by MARK FINKLESTEIN

During rendition of the national anthem when the flag is displayed, all present except those in uniform should stand at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart. Men not in uniform should remove their headdress with their right hand and hold it at the left shoulder, the hand being over the heart. -- United States Code, Title 36, Chapter 10, Sec. 171

Turns out that not wearing a flag lapel pin isn't the only way Barack Obama chooses to show he's a different kind of Democrat.

Have a look at the photo from the October 1, 2007 edition of "Time."

It shows Obama, Hillary and Bill Richardson at the Steak Fry of Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) on September 17 in Indianola, IA during [according to the photo caption] the National Anthem. Richardson and Clinton have their hands on their heart. But not Obama. Does he perhaps believe that, like wearing the flag pin, the hand on the heart isn't "true patriotism"?
