Guantanamo trial completely irrelevant
Hundreds of terror suspects are held at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba confirmed that Guantanamo detainees may still be kept in detention, even if they are found not guilty by a military tribunal.
Pentagon officials have confirmed that Guantanamo detainees may still be kept in detention, even if they are found not guilty by a military tribunal.
They say detainees could be kept prisoner if they are considered a security risk.
If found guilty, they could also be held beyond any sentence laid down by the tribunal.
The Pentagon this week laid the first charges against two foreign detainees held in Guantanamo Bay.
Duped Wendy’s managers order strip search
Four local Wendy's restaurant supervisors ordered employees to shed their clothes under the direction of phony phone calls from a man who passed himself off as a cop conducting an investigation, police said.
"Words simply cannot express how badly we feel about the entire
incident," Wendy's spokesman Bob Bertini said. "Obviously we had managers who were duped. They thought they were responding to direct orders from police."
FBI destroyed Oklahoma City evidence
FBI agents destroyed evidence and failed to share other information that raised the possibility that a gang of white supremacist bank robbers may have assisted Timothy McVeigh during the Oklahoma City bombing, according to documents never introduced at McVeigh's trial.
Both the FBI supervisor who ran the Oklahoma City investigation and the veteran agent who was in command at the bombing scene say the new evidence, detailed in documents obtained by The Associated Press, is serious enough to warrant reopening the inquiry nine years later.
Ask Google Why They Canceled Oceana’s Ads
Oceana recently bought two ads with Google for its Web sites oceana.org and StopCruisePollution.com. Only two days after the ads started running, Google shut them down.
Why? They tell us that they will not run any ad containing or linking to a Web site with "language critical of Royal Caribbean" or "the cruise industry"!
Never mind that none of their written policies include such a rule, and only one of the two canceled ads even mentions Royal Caribbean in the first place.
Why did Google stop our ads from running? Send an e-mail to them asking them why saving the oceans is too hot of an issue for Google to handle!

Coolest PC in the World
The world of personal computing is driven by meeting quarterly numbers and satisfying the street. Moore.s Law drives expectations for performance. The size of personal devices is determined by display sizes . notebook, tablet, PDA and some would like the watch. This a nice neat package of how computing can be expressed. Right?
Wrong.
At ITU Telecom World we got a sample of another view by NEC. It is based on the pen and called P-ISM. This concept is so radical that we went to Tokyo to learn more.
The design concept uses five different pens to make a computer. One pen is a CPU, another a camera, one creates a virtual keyboard, another projects the visual output and thus the display and another a communicator (a phone). All five pens can rest in a holding block which recharges the batteries and holds the mass storage. Each pen communicates wireless, possibly Bluetooth.

U.S. soldier in battle for refugee status
Family moved to Canada after private refused to fight in 'dehumanising' Iraq war
US army private Jeremy Hinzman fought in Afghanistan and considers himself a patriot. But when his unit was ordered to Iraq, he refused to go and embarked on a radical journey that could make legal history.
Private first class Hinzman left the 504th Parachute Infantry Regiment, taking his wife and son to Canada. Officially, he is awol (absent without leave), and, instead of fighting insurgents, he is battling the US military in the Canadian courts.
This month Pte Hinzman, 25, filed legal papers to become the first US soldier objecting to the Iraq war to be granted refugee status in Canada. His case is expected to be a test of new Canadian immigration laws and the country's traditional role of accepting refugees from the US military.
An estimated 250 Americans every year seek refugee status in Canada, the vast majority making mental health claims, according to Jeffrey House, a Toronto criminal defence lawyer who represents Pte Hinzman.
"This is the first time a soldier from the Iraq war is seeking protection. He does not want to fight in Iraq and he will do any lawful thing to stay in Canada."
