"...Defendant (Libby) also argues that he should be granted more discovery, not less discovery, because "thorny issues of national security classification and executive privilege may need to be resolved." (Memo. at 5.) Defendant should be provided the discovery to which he is entitled. If he is not entitled to certain discovery, he should not be granted it merely because the documents he is seeking implicate "thorny" issues that will complicate, not expedite, litigation."

Who cares about health care?
There's all this talk about the "health care crisis" and the uninsured and costs rising. Why do we care? And what the hell can we do about it anyway?
INTRODUCTION:
On October 28, 2005, a federal grand jury returned a five-count indictment charging defendant I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby with obstruction of justice, perjury, and making false statements to federal investigators, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 1503, 1623 and 1001, in connection with an investigation concerning leaks to reporters of classified information regarding the employment of Valerie Plame Wilson.
There are lots of important events and actions this weekend. Come and join with the movement for immigrant rights and Latin America solidarity.
Este fin de semana hay muchos marchas y eventos importantes. Ven y juntar con los movimientos de solidaridad latinoamericana y por los derechos inmigrantes.
Even as prosecutor Fitzgerald files papers to bring the purgery trial of Cheney's right-hand man to a speedy close, defendant I.Lewis "Scooter" LIbby continues to obsfuscate. Now he claims "Bush Authorized Leaks of Highly Classified Iraq Intel to Bolster Case for War", and his story is eaten up eagerly by the anti-war crowd. How about if we get on with his trial for 5 counts of purgery and lying to a grand jury before we rely on his words to bolster a noble cause?

Bush's okay of the Valerie Plame leak made it to the front page of The O today, but here's a local story they missed. Come to think of it, I don't remember seeing anything about the Amnesty report at all.

France's major trade unions and student unions, a total of twelve organizations operating under the umbrella of the Intersyndicale, held a joint meeting in Paris Wednesday morning to coordinate negotiations with the Gaullist government over the "First Job Contract" (CPE).
Five trade unions—CGT (General Confederation of Labour), CFDT (French Democratic Confederation of Labour), FO (Workers Power) and two management unions, the CFTC and the CFE-CGC—later held separate discussions with deputies from the ruling Union for a Popular Majority (UMP) party. Other unions will meet with the government in the coming days. The CPE allows workers under the age of 26 to be dismissed without cause during their first two years of employment. President Jacques Chirac formally ratified the legislation last Friday, but declared that it would not be applied until additional laws were enacted modifying aspects of the CPE. The government proposes to reduce the trial period from two years to one, and require employers to issue sacked workers an explanation for their dismissal.

Apparently, the bOregonian has called for Foxworth's ouster over allegations that he acted inappropriately with a female subordinate. KOIN and KATU have implied as much as well. I was not sure how I felt about all this, because I do not agree with any sexist behavior, yet I have found Foxworth's softer manner to be refreshing after the (gag) Kroeker years. I was also very squeamish about the release of such personal conversations that I really think should have remained private. I think my mind is now made up in favor of the Chief.

"But Is This Really Terrorism?-Crimes for the Environment, Crimes Against the Environment", the second National Lawyers Guild/Northwest Constitutional Rights Center panel on the "terrorization" of criminal and free speech acts, was held Wednesday night at the First Unitarian Church downtown. Four presenters, Kim Marks (Forest Ethics organizer), Ben Rosenfeld (Judi Bari's attorney), Dan Serres (program director, Living Waters) and Barbara Dudley, (PSU professor and former NLG president) offered timely information about how the government punishes those who attempt to protect the environment and rewards those who are destroying it.
Hello Friends,
For those of you who do not know, we packed the house for the David Ray Griffin talk. Standing room only. Found out we had 305 people streaming the event live from around the country, and we turned 100 people away at the door.

We can and should support troops-to-be, but do so before they become troops. We should post a warning sign, and disclaimer, in all recruiting stations. Prospective enlistees should be told that their new employer will not be the Department of Defense, but the Department of War; and that their service will not be in the defense of freedom and democracy, but in the building of an empire for America's powerful elite. And that their countrymen, for all the yellow ribbons and pseudo-patriotic talk, will ultimately blame them for the added terrorism they instigate with their wars. Just like there is truth in lending, we should demand truth in recruitment.
You hear it everywhere. Even from Congressman Jim Sensenbrenner, author of the vicious anti-migrant legislation that has polarized the US.
"We are a nation of immigrants and a nation of laws," he says. And like almost everyone else, he's got it wrong.

After the city commission meeeting, a small but vigorous group of demonstrators reminded Schumacher's of the power of free speech.
While young French workers express outrage at a proposed law making them endure three years of probation on a new job, U.S. workers wonder what the term "job security" means.
KPTV's rambling Jim Hyde appeared to give the Schumacher's more of a free commercial (on our public airwaves, under the guise of news) than an accurate story. No surprise, since Hyde was spotted sitting cozily with the Schumachers during yesterday's excruciatingly whiny city council meeting.

Recent testing identified that certain shipments of three of our products - Eclipse 87%, Los Rios 68% and Prima Materia 100% - were found to have lead levels that exceeded Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guidelines.

Meeting in Lille this weekend the national coordination reunited student activists and delegates from 114 higher education colleges and schools. In a up beat communiqué issued at the end of the assembly the national coordination are calling for moves towards an unlimited general strike as "the only issue for the national Days of Action, and the only way to push the government onto the defensive and repeal the "Equality of Chances" legislation."
On April 5, 2006 Amnesty International released the full text of their investigation of the Bush admistration's policy of "Extraordinary Rendition" - a program stated by President Bush as public policy, but carried out in secret. Below the radar: Secret flights to torture and 'disappearance' traces the rendition program to 1995, when its goals and modus operandi were quite different than the current version, and an un-named policy of similar design has roots in the early history of the CIA.

This is one of those "never happen to me" things. I've long read about other cyclists' troubles on Indymedia and assumed that it was because they were doing something blatantly obvious. Cops wouldn;t target cyclists, right? Well, read on, because I got the Haunsperger treatment tonight. And I've got resources to fight back. And I'd love to rally some cyclists on this.
I suppose, by now, everyone's heard the news. Chief Foxworth has been accused of "sexual misconduct" by a woman who bolsters her complaints with very graphic, very private emails which he wrote to her. I am very conflicted about this news.

This morning, Linda and Greg Schumacher, along with their security guard, their accountant, and a friend from Zell Brothers jewelry store (located across the street from Schumachers) all railed against what Greg called "domestic terrorists." To bolster their case, they brought along a sheaf of email correspondence and copies of various Oregon Revised Statutes, which they claim show that the city needs to start arresting people for demonstrating in front of their fur store.
