  • P2PNet – China’s programmed judges
  • CNET – Justice at the click of a mouse in China
  • I have no problems with judges using decision support systems. Doctors use them all the time. The problem is when the software (or data!) is buggy or when the person gets too dependent on it, or worse, starts winging it on the data entry. Also currupt judges can lie about some of the circumstantial data entered into the software. So it is best said that this type of software is best for improving already good judges that are competant, careful, and honest.

  • P2PNet – Josh Wolf faces jail
  • SFist – Wolf Appeal Denied
  • San Francisco Chronical – Court rejects appeal of freelancer who taped violent rally
  • To hell with the damn secrets. Copy the shit out of video. Share it up and Emule, and let the court have a copy. Better yet, give them an ED2K hashlink :) . Hey it doesn’t apear the the court ordered an exclusive copy of the video or have other order barring him from publishing out copies. He just don’t wanna give it out for some reason. Hey just share it. For free, complete and uncensored. No thousands of dollars from selling a censored version to select customers. Just as many people as possible having your footage. Maybe he already did? I never did search for it on Emule. Many violent protests can be found on Emule. Most are anti-police though rather than pro-police.

  • P2PNet – Spamhaus ignores US court
  • Spamhaus – Legal Answers & Updates
  • Hey the settlement extortion and exploitation of default judgements on cloudy international jurisdiction are all great avenues of fraud. I’m surprised it isn’t explioted further. The ESPC seems to be learning. They should target low-income irresponsible folk, petty crinimals homeless, and handicapped people because they are far more likely to not show up for court. This will definitly rise dramatically if they legalize home invasion — ‘garnishment’ of furniture, jewelry, and durable electronic or hobby equipment (TV, computer, guns, stereo, telescope).

  • Washington Post – GOP Infighting on Detainees Intensifies
  • Definitly George Bush desires to be despotic right-wing authoritarian (both wings are large, but the right is bigger) facist war-mongering dictator. I still don’t think he’s the anti-christ or anything. The USA isn’t currupt enough yet for an aspiring dictator to get power. But Bush is definitly challenging the system and exposing its weak points.

  • Washington Post – U.N. Inspectors Dispute Iran Report By House Panel
  • Bush definitly wants more war…. And he’s determined to get it. Him and his dozen or two republican and half dozen democrat congress-puppets. Whatever it is I think this particular incident is meant for propaganda. I can see America at war with Iran by the time Bush leaves office, just because Bush and his cohorts wants it, and they are going to lie and deceive all they can to get it.

  • Slate – Mind GamesAre we going to attack Iran?
  • If Iran ain’t making nukes with their enrichment, then they should refuse and resist to the bitter end. If what the UN inspectors saw isn’t a decoy, then they are probably not. I’d wait until Iran actually flings a nuke before going to war.

  • Lycos News – Thailand’s PM Ousted in Military Coup
  • Looks like a democraticly ellected but currupt prime minister is going to be replaced by a currupt military dictator… It appears that Leekpai was a quite currupt authoritarian type that the RIAA would probably love. The fact that they didn’t feel compelled to shoot anything that moved makes the millitary look like the good guys. But it is probably still evil vs evil.

  • Washington Post – Canadian Was Falsely Accused, Panel Says
  • If you are a fresh middle eastern immigrant and America (or Canada) thinks you are a terrorist, usually on grounds of single conversations with sparse acquaintances, then this is what happens to you. They are afraid to do it themselves, so they hire it out to Syria, etc… They do it to american citizens too, if family/friend support is week or non-existant, but usually have more survailance before acting.

  • The Onion – Bush: ‘History Cannot Judge Me If I End It Soon’
  • Wikipedia – The Onion
  • Good thing the Onion is considered a satirical tabloid…
