POPSConnell Plane Crash: Subpoenaed IT Expert "Wellstoned"? More interesting news links at source that raise suspicions, as did the plane crash of former Congressman Paul Wellstone. That the news highlighted talk and suspicion of "sabotage" makes it much more substantive than a "conspiracy theory". Of course those who believe in "coincidence theories" have the Law of Probabilities and reasonable grounds of suspicion standing against them. Witness: 'It blew up and shook the ground a little bit.'

POPSA Slippery Argument Against Civil Liberties This website shocks and appalls me, but I can't say I trust the arguments that come next. Should we seal off public records because they are used to intimidate witnesses? No. Intimidating a witness is already against the law, so is providing assitance to someone who commits a crime. Why not prosecute the operators of the website for the crimes they are actively promoting? It seems suspicious to me that instead of enforcing the laws against witness tampering and harassment, they are instead making a move to reduce the transparency of the justice system. Shouldn't we maintain the transparency, to allow for legitimate public scrutiny, and then prosecute illegitimate uses for what they are: intimidation and harassment? I'm not well versed in this area of the law, so I would be interested in hearing other opinions. In the mean time this kind of logic makes me very nervous.

POPSAnother Republican FL Congressman Resigns Amid Scandal, Felony Charges Republican Rep. Arza and his cousin were recorded using racist slurs against a black school superintendent. Sometime after 8 last Saturday night, state Rep. Ralph Arza, in calm voice that betrayed just a hint of inebriation, left a 20-second message on the cellphone of his colleague. ''Hey, bitch,'' he said. "You're nothing but a bitch. You're a bitch. You're nothing but a bitch. God Bless you, bitch." Sometime later, in a voice just a little less calm, Arza left a second message for Rep. Gus Barreiro. "Hey, bitch. You ain't nothing but a bitch. You ain't nothing but a bitch, brother, my n****er.'' A second caller dialed Barreiro and cursed Barreiro out even more, profanely threatening him with physical harm for filing a complaint. Hear the two phone messages in question ( 1 , 2 ).
