Hope these guys go to jail...judges have a GREAT time in jail...whos your daddy!

Greensburg-Salem High - Pennsylvania: Children charged with "manufacturing, disseminating or possessing child pornography" after taking interesting pics of THEMSELVES! The 2 girls sent the pics to boys, who were no doubt pleased, until they were charged for RECEIVING pics on there phones. PS Take a look at the name of the school...Salem was where a major witch-hunt took place in the novel, the Crucible.

"December the 15th saw a secret UK court hearing, with secret participants, produce a secret order to secretly gag the population, the terms of which are secret and the revelation of which is punishable by upto 10 years of imprisonment. How many of these orders exist is unknowable—we glimpse at the severity of the problem only when the orders are violated. So let's start violating them."

"Wikileaks and the New Statesman are the focus of a legal attack by one of the world's richest men, Nadhmi Auchi, a controversal UK-Iraqi billionaire connected to inner circle of the disgraced Illinois Governor, Rob Blagojevich.

Cop shoots someone dead...while they are lying face-down on the ground. Self defense? Video footage not for the squeamish... "'first, we see the entire, raw footage a 19 year old eyewitness shot on her camcorder, then we hear her explain what she saw and experienced -- she says a female BART police officer tried to forcibly confiscate her camcorder."  She's lucky she did not get arrested for filming a police officer.

Would be funny, if not so serious.. .."See this is how prosecuting alleged terrorists works: we hold and torture them overseas, without bail, for years, hoping for actionable intelligence, maybe, even if many of them are innocent, and even though torture is not a reliable means of securing actionable intelligence, and then we have farcical military tribunals for some of them, but they are not allowed to plead guilty at these tribunals, because then we'd have to execute them, and then they'd become martyrs."

The American music industry should run a course on how to win friends and influence people..."Just when you think they've reached rock bottom, it seems the RIAA always finds room to sink a little lower. This time they've sued an innocent, 19-year-old transplant patient..."

"I want to take this opportunity and use this non-event to signal a dangerous phenomenon in our society. We live in a time where everybody is free to publish whatever he or she wants on blogs at will without taking any responsibility. This exceeds mud-slinging. Together with you, other Parliament members and the government I find that it’s nearly impossible to defend yourself against this. Everyone of you is a potential victim. I would like to ask you to take a moment and think about this." - Belgian Minister of Defense Pieter De Crem. Interesting case...read the link! What I want to know is, why does Belgium have minister of defense?
