- NYTimes. "Right now there is a lack of understanding of what the problem really is," a Justice Department official who works extensively on terror financing issues said in an interview. "Tracing money in the best of circumstances is very, very difficult, and when you're talking about terrorist operations that can be carried out for $50,000 or $75,000, it's almost impossible." |

- As this NYT article makes clear, the case against imprisoned Army Capitan and Muslim Chaplain Yee gets thinner by the day, and provides abundant evidence for why nobody should have the unchallengeable power to imprison people on their word alone. Capitan Yee was held in solitary confinement and threatened with the death penalty, and we were told he was guilty of espionage and stealing classified documents. Then the government said he was guilty of adultery and pornography, now it turns out that the documents he had that made the customs inspector suspicious may not have been classified after all. This is the same government that claims the power to declare American citizen enemy combatants and imprison them for life. What do you think that Captain Yee's status would be today if he didn't have access to lawyers and judicial review of his case? |

- A gorge runs along side the house, a stone's throw from where Shauna now sat. She went there often when she had nothing better to do. On this Summer morning when the sun had not yet made the day unbearably hot, she sat on top of a large boulder at the edge of a twenty foot drop and she watched a rattlesnake crawl across the sandy bottom of the arroyo. The dusty colored camouflaged reptile was visible only because of the smooth swaying indentations it left in the sand behind it. The distinctive tracks which swung back and forth in an almost perfect geometric design, reminded her of the rainbow colored wind chime that hung from the edge of her grandmother's roof. |
