Legal path for migrants

McCain, Kennedy unveil sweeping reform bill

 

Billy House

Republic Washington Bureau

May. 13, 2005 12:00 AM

 

WASHINGTON - Millions of undocumented workers in the United States could come out of the shadows by registering with the government and paying fines or fees of at least $2,000 to begin earning permanent residency under the most sweeping immigration-reform bill in two decades.

 

The bill introduced Thursday was dubbed the "Secure America and Orderly Immigration Act" by its bipartisan group of sponsors, led by Sens. John McCain, R-Ariz., and Edward Kennedy, D-Mass. It would create a temporary-work visa program for foreigners to fill jobs requiring few or no skills, for up to six years.

 

The legislation was touted as ensuring tougher enforcement of laws at the border and in the workplace while speeding the process of reuniting immigrant families. In addition, Mexico and other countries would be encouraged to enter into agreements to play a more active role in helping prevent illegal immigration into the United States, including promoting more economic opportunity back home.

 

House sponsors Jim Kolbe and Jeff Flake, both Arizona Republicans, and Luis Gutierrez, D-Ill., joined McCain and Kennedy on Thursday in casting the legislation as a comprehensive approach to immigration reform and national security.

 

They also said they believe it is consistent with the broad principles that President Bush said he'd favor in a temporary-worker plan to "match willing employers and willing workers" from other countries. In fact, Bush has offered few specifics for what he wants in such a proposal.

 

Immigrant advocates and some business groups, including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, said they welcomed the measure as a broad approach to immigration reform that goes beyond the piecemeal efforts of the past.

 

But the legislation faces an uncertain future because of stiff opposition from groups that want tighter immigration controls - including many Republicans who hold a majority in the U.S. House - and that oppose giving legal status to people who've entered the country illegally.

 

There is, however, widespread recognition in Congress that the current immigration system is broken, despite disagreement over priorities.

 

"I want an immigration system that says we're not going to look for people who come to mow our lawns, and wash our dishes and clean our babies' behinds and raise them. Those aren't the people we're concerned about," Gutierrez said. "We're concerned about drug dealers and smugglers on our borders."

 

But Arizona Republican Rep. J.D. Hayworth, who supports tighter controls on immigration, criticized the bill as a "bad idea not only because it creates a transparent path to amnesty, but also because it would reduce work opportunities, depress wages and lower worker protections for Americans."

 

"I believe that when the disturbing details of this proposal are considered, Congress will see the light and join the overwhelming majority of Americans that want the federal government to enforce our present laws against illegal immigration," Hayworth said.

 

Bush administration spokesman Taylor Gross on Thursday offered no clue as to how the new bill was being received at the White House.

 

"The president is glad to see this contribution to the discussion on immigration," Gross said, though he added, "We understand a number of other members are working on proposals, as well, and we look forward to working with members of both parties to pass a bill that meets the president's principles."

 

McCain assured that the measure "is not, I repeat, NOT, an amnesty bill," noting that, "The reality is there is an estimated 10 (million) to 11 million undocumented people living and working in this country. It would be impossible to identify and round them up and send them back to the countries from which they came."

 

Insisted Kennedy: "This bill does not provide a free pass to anyone. This bill does not put those who have been illegally here in the United States at the front of the line."

 

The legislation aims to enable undocumented workers to come forward to apply for one of two new visas - called an H-5B - for work status as a "non-immigrant."

 

Under this visa, they could not only work in the United States for up to six years, but also could travel abroad.

 

To obtain this status, workers would have to submit to fingerprinting and other background checks, pay processing fees, back taxes and a $1,000 initial fine. The worker's spouse and children also could apply.

 

After six years, the worker would be limited to five more years to make it through the waiting list for a green card.

 

To eventually apply for this permanent resident status, the worker also would have to pay an additional $1,000 fine, undergo more criminal checks and a medical exam, register for selective service, and work to become proficient in English. The spouse and children also could apply for permanent status.

 

The bill also would create a new temporary visa to allow foreign workers to enter the country, dubbed a H-5A visa. All applicants would have to show they had a job waiting for them and pay a fee of $500, in addition to clearing all security, medical and other checks. These visas would be "portable" to other jobs, and the total number of applicants initially would be capped at 400,000 annually. Employers who apply for foreign workers would first have to advertise those jobs on a national electronic database and give priority to U.S. workers.

 

Under the bill, a new visa document would be tamper-proof and include biometric information. The system would allow employers to verify electronically that a foreign worker is in the country legally and authorized to work.

 

Any employer who participates in the program would be required to use this system; the measure would bring stiff fines on employers knowingly violating immigration labor laws.

 

It also calls for a commission that would evaluate the impact of the legislation on the U.S. labor market

 

"We need a plan that fairly balances national security, economic reality and worker protections, and I think our bill comes pretty darn close," Flake said.

 

Added Kolbe: "This is a comprehensive bill that doesn't try to solve the hemorrhaging immigration problem with a Band-Aid. This is major surgery."

 

McCain said he was optimistic that the Bush administration would work with lawmakers on the immigration proposal and that there would be hearings on it this year.

 

There was no immediate reaction from Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., who with Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, is expected to introduce his own bill by the end of the summer to make it easier for foreigners to work in the United States temporarily. But they oppose making it easier for those who already are in the country illegally to gain permanent residence.

 

Frank Sharry, executive director of the National Immigration Forum, an immigrant advocacy group, said, "This bill will reconcile the fact that we have hardworking immigrants already here and coming in the future, but insufficient legal channels.

 

"This bill gets the combination of admissions and enforcement just about right. In contrast to the status quo, it will mean honest admissions policies, tightly enforced," he said.

 

Randal Johnson, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's vice president of labor, immigration and employee benefits, said the nation's immigration and visa policy "must improve our nation's security, address future labor shortages through a temporary-worker program and provide a reasonable mechanism for undocumented workers already here to qualify for legal status."

 

"While some significant issues remain to be resolved, this legislation meets those principles," he said.

 

But Jack Martin, special projects director for the Federation for American Immigration Reform, a group that advocates improved border security to stop illegal immigration, said, "There's an amnesty component to this, whether they want to call it that or not."

$2,000 fine would be worth it, immigrants say

 

Daniel González and Chris Hawley

The Arizona Republic

May. 13, 2005 12:00 AM

 

Undocumented immigrants in Arizona said Thursday that they would be willing to pay back taxes and a $2,000 fine for entering the country illegally in exchange for the opportunity to apply for permanent residency.

 

The penalties are part of a major immigration proposal introduced Thursday by Sens. John McCain, R-Ariz., and Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., that would give undocumented immigrants already living in the United States the opportunity to earn permanent residency over an extended period. The proposal also would open the door for more migrants in Mexico to apply for visas to work in the United States.

 

"In comparison with what you pay a coyote (smuggler), the $2,000 is worth it," said Jose Perea, 30. The undocumented immigrant from Mexico works in the construction industry in Phoenix.

 

Perea said he would have preferred to have seen an amnesty like the one Congress passed in 1986. That amnesty allowed millions of undocumented immigrants with work histories in the United States to apply for permanent residency.

 

But given the current anti-immigrant atmosphere in the United States, any shot at permanent residency would be welcome, Perea said.

 

"There are people who have already been in this country for 10, 12, 15 years working and paying taxes," Perea said. "Imagine, they are going to have to wait another 10 years. But given the current political climate, it's the best we can hope for."

 

Juan Lomeli, 26, an undocumented immigrant from Mexico who works in the landscaping industry in Phoenix, predicted most undocumented immigrants would accept the penalties.

 

The legislation would allow undocumented workers with clean criminal records to apply for a six-year work visa. After that, they could apply for permanent residency, a process that could take several more years, provided they clear additional security checks, meet English proficiency requirements, pay back taxes and a $2,000 fine.

 

Migrants outside the country wishing to work in the United States would pay a $500 fee for a renewable three-year visa.

 

At Mexico City's Northern Bus Terminal, a frequent stop for people headed to the border, migrants on Thursday applauded the proposal but said they had been disappointed before.

 

Some said they feared long waiting lists.

 

"It sounds good - the only problem is, will the government comply? Look at all the people who have been trying to get papers since before Sept. 11, (2001,)" said Bonifacio Diego Octaviano, 60.

 

A former cook in California, he was returning to Morelos state after seven years in the United States.

 

Most said the $500 visa fee would be a bargain, compared with the $1,500 or $2,000 migrant smugglers are charging.

 

Hermenigildo Morales, 61, a legal U.S. resident, was headed back to his job pouring concrete in Bainbridge, Ga., after visiting family in Mexico City. He said many of his co-workers were undocumented immigrants who had been paying taxes for years.

 

"If this were passed, they'd all line up the next day at Immigration," he said.

my gosh. when government employees and cops are arrested for drug war crimes they get special treatment:

16 soldiers, law officers charged

FBI sting uncovers drug conspiracy

 

Susan Carroll and Dennis Wagner

The Arizona Republic

May. 13, 2005 12:00 AM

 

TUCSON - Sixteen current and former soldiers and law-enforcement officers were implicated Thursday in a "widespread" cocaine-trafficking conspiracy that FBI officials said will eventually bring down more public officials.

 

U.S. Department of Justice prosecutors would not disclose what started an undercover FBI probe in December 2001 that so far has snagged personnel from the former Immigration and Naturalization Service, Arizona Army National Guard, U.S. Bureau of Prisons, Army, Arizona Department of Corrections and Nogales Police Department.

 

The first 11 defendants entered guilty pleas to conspiracy charges in Tucson federal court on Thursday in exchange for cooperating with investigators in a larger investigation that involves other agencies, including some outside Arizona, Justice Department officials said. They were released without bail pending sentencing. Five others await hearings.

 

Jana D. Monroe, special agent in charge of the FBI's Phoenix field office, said the investigation is "one of the more significant" cases of public corruption in Arizona, a smuggling corridor and distribution hub for illegal drugs. The Justice Department said the defendants helped transport more than 560 kilograms of cocaine from southern Arizona to Phoenix and Las Vegas in exchange for about $220,000.

 

"Many individuals charged were sworn personnel having the task of protecting society and securing America's borders," she said at a news conference on Thursday morning. "The importance of these tasks cannot be overstated, and we cannot tolerate nor can the American people afford this type of corruption."

 

One by one, the defendants stood in the airy courtroom as Magistrate Judge Charles R. Pyle called their names. The 10 men and one woman admitted they were in a position of public trust when they agreed to transport cocaine for a drug cartel.

 

Working in groups of more than a dozen, according to the plea agreements, some defendants took up to $15,000 in cash payments from undercover FBI agents. Justice Department officials said they recruited new participants in exchange for extra bribes.

 

The soldiers and law officers carried official IDs, wore their uniforms and relied upon their "color of authority" to move the drugs, said Noel Hillman, Public Integrity Section chief for the Department of Justice.

 

One operation in August 2002 involved defendants decked out in military uniforms and riding in National Guard Humvees to a clandestine airfield near Benson to meet a twin-engine plane manned by undercover FBI agents, according to court records.

 

"Those defendants, while in full uniform, supervised the unloading of approximately 60 kilograms of cocaine from the King Air into their vehicles," according to a Justice Department account. "They then drove the cocaine to a resort hotel in Phoenix where they were met by another agent of the FBI, posing as a high-echelon narcotics trafficker, who immediately paid them off in cash."

 

Another operation took place in April 2002 when INS port inspector John M. Castillo, 30, allegedly waved two trucks through a Nogales border checkpoint, believing they were loaded with 80 pounds of cocaine.

 

The Justice Department said every defendant took part in escorting at least two drug shipments. Federal prosecutors typically file multiple felony charges in such cases, seeking severe sentences in high-volume drug cases. In this instance, the suspects face no more than five years in prison.

 

Prosecutors also routinely bargain with suspects, offering reduced charges for evidence and testimony against co-conspirators.

 

The 16 defendants were not arrested; instead, they were allowed to appear voluntarily in court to enter guilty pleas after waiving indictment. Hillman said they are cooperating fully with prosecutors and the investigation is ongoing.

 

More public officials are expected to be implicated, he added, some from agencies outside Arizona.

 

Maj. Gen. David Rataczak, adjutant general for the Arizona Army National Guard, could not be reached for comment. Maj. Eileen Bienz, a Guard spokeswoman, said military officials "have been fully cooperating with the FBI on this case" and the seven soldiers implicated are not representative of Arizona's 7,000 guard members.

 

Military investigations and discipline will not take place until the FBI case is completed.

 

Bienz said she does not know where the soldiers are stationed, but none served on the Joint Counter Narco-Terrorism Task Force.

 

Investigators would not say what sparked an investigation that began just three months after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. That was a time when FBI officials in Arizona said every agent was engaged in anti-terrorism work.

 

Hillman said the sting's outcome does not suggest rampant corruption among law- enforcement or military personnel in Arizona. The conduct of 16 individuals out of hundreds of thousands of sworn personnel, he cautioned, is not "reflective in any way of the agencies they work for or the men and women who put their lives at risk every day."

2 years after Saddam's fall, Iraqis are far from happy

 

Bassem Mroue

Associated Press

May. 13, 2005 12:00 AM

 

BAGHDAD, Iraq - More than two years after Saddam Hussein's fall, 85 percent of Iraqis complain of frequent power outages, only 54 percent have access to clean water and almost a quarter of Iraqi children suffer from chronic malnutrition, a U.N.-Iraqi survey revealed Thursday.

 

"The survey, in a nutshell, depicts a rather tragic situation of the quality of life," said Iraq's new planning minister, Barham Saleh.

 

Although Saleh blamed years of wars, economic mismanagement and repressive policies under Saddam, conditions worsened after the U.S. invasion in 2003, and insurgents now are doing their best to tear down the economy, averaging 70 attacks a day at the start of May.

 

The U.S. reconstruction effort also has drawn criticism. Last week, government investigators said U.S. civilian authorities in Iraq cannot properly account for nearly $100 million promised for projects in south-central Iraq.

 

But for all the challenges, the U.N. secretary-general's deputy special representative in Iraq, Staffan de Mistura, said the situation could be much worse.

 

"In spite of the bad news that we hear, a lot of what is being offered by the international community and done by the Iraqi authorities is anyway reaching a lot of people," he said. "Not enough but moving, otherwise this report would have been much more serious and much worse."

 

The survey, conducted last year by the U.N. Development Program and the Planning Ministry, paints a picture of persistent misery for many Iraqis.

 

Mohammed Najm, the owner of a Baghdad perfume shop, said Thursday that the new Iraqi government should make improving infrastructure as high a priority as it does fighting the insurgency. Since Saddam's ouster, "we haven't seen even 10 percent worth of improvement," he said.

 

Kadhim Hatem, who owns a clothing store in Baghdad, said improving living standards would help defuse the insurgency. "If unemployment is brought down, terrorist attacks will decrease," he said. "When those people have jobs, they cannot be recruited."

 

A total of 21,688 households in Iraq's 18 provinces were surveyed for the report.

 

It found 1.5 million new housing units are needed to deal with a critical housing shortage.

 

Almost a quarter of Iraqi children between the ages of 6 months and 5 years suffer from chronic malnutrition, and 193 women out of every 100,000 births die in labor.

 

Unemployment is running at just over 18 percent, literacy at 65 percent.

 

Before U.S. forces invaded in March 2003, Baghdad residents could expect about 20 hours of electricity a day.

 

Today, they're lucky to get 10, usually broken into two-hour runs or less. There are also frequent fuel and drinking water shortages. And only 37 percent of the population has a working sewage system, the report said.

Police work pays off

Arrests in officer's murder 'bittersweet'

 

Judi Villa

The Arizona Republic

May. 14, 2005 12:00 AM

 

Donald Delahanty, scared and surrounded by police, hunkered in a hole underneath a mobile home and dialed 911.

 

"I want to surrender," he told Phoenix police Detective Jack Ballentine.

 

"I want my dad. I want to hug him, and then we'll talk and I'll tell you everything."

 

Delahanty, 18, one of two men wanted in Tuesday's shooting death of Phoenix police Officer David Uribe, was afraid police would hurt him. Ballentine, miles away in a conference room on the third floor of police headquarters, assured him the officers wouldn't.

 

For about an hour, Ballentine tried to coax out a man who said he wanted police to kill him and even lied that he was on a bus headed to a church. Then he struck a deal: Delahanty would give up and let police take him downtown for questioning. "When we finish talking," Ballentine said, "I'll let you sit down with your dad and you can hug your dad."

 

Delahanty emerged from the hole without a fight. Minutes later, Christopher Dale Wilson, 27, walked out of the trailer, ending a two-day hunt for the suspected killers.

 

Also arrested Thursday was David York, a state Department of Corrections officer, who police say picked up Delahanty and Wilson after the shooting, hid a gun and gave them new clothes.

 

Lt. Rob Handy, who helped manage the manhunt, called the arrests "bittersweet."

 

"We lost a police officer," Handy said. "We lost a man who's given his entire career to protecting the community. He leaves behind a wife and children, and that's what we need to focus on."

 

Uribe was shot in the head and neck during a traffic stop late Tuesday morning at Cactus Road and 34th Avenue. Starting with a restaurant receipt found in the suspects' abandoned car, hundreds of officers spent the next two days fielding tips and following leads with virtually no sleep.

 

When restaurant surveillance photos of Wilson and Delahanty circulated in the media and information poured in, the two men "couldn't budge" and "we start closing in on their world," Ballentine said.

 

On Wednesday, police got a tip pointing them to a mobile-home park near 67th Avenue and Van Buren Street, where a friend of Delahanty's lived.

 

That night, detectives staked out the trailer. "There was no activity, no lights on in that trailer," Ballentine said. "But they were there."

 

"We felt like we were so close that if we could stick with it, we were going to get them."

 

Delahanty finally walked outside Thursday evening. Police chased him on foot but lost him. Then came Delahanty's call to 911.

 

"I knew we got to him," Ballentine said. "And then all of us became very focused on making sure we could lure him out."

 

At the police station during interviews with Wilson and Delahanty, the details of Uribe's killing began to emerge. Police said the men had been making daily drug runs to Tucson, mostly for methamphetamine. Delahanty told police he had drugs in his pocket when Uribe pulled them over. Their car had a stolen plate on it. Both he and Wilson, the driver, had guns, police said.

 

Ballentine said Wilson told him Delahanty talked constantly about wanting to kill an officer. When he would see an officer drive by, Delahanty would go "Bang! See how easy that is?" Ballentine said.

 

Still, Wilson told police he handed his gun to Delahanty, telling him to "hide it or get rid of it." Then he put his hands out the window.

 

"Wilson said he did not plan to kill him, but he knew Delahanty had wanted to kill a police officer," Ballentine said. "And he still handed him his gun."

 

Wilson was booked on suspicion of second-degree murder. Delahanty is facing a first-degree murder charge. Delahanty denied pulling the trigger, but Wilson and a witness who was in the car's back seat fingered Delahanty as the shooter, police said. The witness turned himself in and was not arrested.

 

After the shooting, police found the men's car about a mile away.

 

Delahanty reportedly tried to blow it up by shooting at the gas tank.

 

As he and Wilson ran, Delahanty dismantled the gun and dumped it piece by piece into yards and bushes, police said.

 

Early Friday, in darkness, detectives searched on hands and knees until they recovered every piece of the suspected murder weapon.

 

Later, Ballentine said he never had any doubt the two men would be found. But coupled with the excitement and the relief was the pain of Uribe's death and the loss that had been pushed aside during the manhunt.

 

"This was a great, great guy, somebody that every one of us can really be proud of," Ballentine said.

 

"We did right by his family."

Alertan por uso de documentos falsos

 

El uso de documentos falsos, es uno de los principales delitos en que incurren los inmigrantes hispanos recién llegados a este país.

Por tal motivo, la Policía de Phoenix alertó a la población para que no se deje engañar por estafadores que se dedican a la venta de tarjetas de residente permanente, también conocidas como “green card”, de Seguro Social y hasta identificaciones mexicanas aprócrifas.

 

El detective Matt Arndt, del Departamento de Investigaciones de Crímenes de Documentos, reconoció que en el Valle operan varias organizaciones criminales que se dedican a la venta de documentación falsa.

 

Lo anterior, no solamente constituye un delito para el que comercializa con documentos oficiales falsos, sino que representa un doble daño para el que los adquiere.

 

“El que porte una identificación con sellos oficiales falsos y sea sorprendido por la Policía, no solamente se arriesga a pasar un tiempo en la cárcel, sino también a la deportación a su país de origen, en caso de que se encuentre ilegal en este país”, señaló el investigador.

 

De acuerdo con Arndt, la Policía de Phoenix está muy familiarizada con este delito, ya que es muy común la detención de individuos que portan una identificación falsa o que pertenece a una persona distinta. En el caso de que la identificación corresponda a otra persona, al detenido se le fincan cargos de robo de identidad y se le da aviso a las autoridades de Inmigración.

La venta de documentos falsos representa jugosas ganancias para diversas organizaciones criminales que operan en el Valle del Sol, afirmó el detective Matt Arndt, del Departamento de Investigación de Crímenes de Documentos de la Policía de Phoenix.

 

Se trata de individuos que fácilmente se pueden localizar cerca de las tienditas o mercados en vecindarios donde concurren muchos inmigrantes hispanos, quienes son sus principales clientes.

Lo que no saben esas personas que se arriesgan a pagar por una identificación falsa, es que si llegan a ser detenidos por las autoridades recibirán cargos adicionales por portar documentación apócrifa, señaló el investigador.

De acuerdo con sus estimaciones, se calcula que el 85 por ciento de las víctimas de estafadores son personas de origen hispano.

 

Desafortunadamente pocos son los que se atreven a denunciar este tipo de fraude. “Normalmente las personas ya sabían que estaban adquiriendo identificaciones falsas”.

 

No se descarta que los estafadores de documentos falsos trabajen de manera organizada con los traficantes de ilegales.

 

Aunque para el detective Arndt más bien este vínculo se da únicamente cuando el inmigrante indocumentado pide referencias a los “coyotes” de personas que se dedican a elaborar tarjetas de residente y de seguro social falsas.

 

Los estafadores se las han ingeniado para reproducir copias casi perfectas de documentos como tarjetas de residente permanente, de seguro social, visas láser, permisos I-94 y hasta licencias, matrículas consulares y credenciales de elector mexicanas.

 

Estos documentos apócrifos se pueden conseguir por un costo de 40 hasta 150 dólares, todo depende de la calidad de la reproducción del documento.

 

“Hay algunos documentos falsos que son de mayor calidad que otros. Un paquete completo de identificaciones apócrifas puede valer hasta mil dólares”, mencionó.

 

Un delito muy común

 

Uno de los delitos más comunes en que incurren los inmigrantes hispanos recién llegados a este país, dijo, es la compra de documentos apócrifos para tratar de engañar a las autoridades en caso de ser arrestados.

 

Lo hacen con la falsa creencia de que no sucederá nada si son descubiertos. La realidad es de que el traer un documento falso es un delito federal y si las personas son remitidas ante esa autoridad, lo más seguro es que terminen en la cárcel y posteriormente sean deportadas a sus países de origen.

 

El detective Arndt admitió que son limitados los recursos que tiene la Policía de Phoenix para combatir este delito.

 

Sin embargo, destacó que en colaboración con autoridades de la Oficina para el Control de Inmigración y Aduanas (ICE, por sus siglas en inglés), esporádicamente realizan operativos conjuntos para arrestar a los responsables y evitar que siga creciendo el número de víctimas.

Controversia por licencias

 

Washington, (AP)

Mayo 10, 2005

 

Algunos estados amenazan con impugnar ante los tribunales de justicia e incluso desacatar las nuevas órdenes del Congreso federal para emitir licencias de conducir más uniformes y comprobar la ciudadanía o la residencia legal del solicitante, si no reciben más fondos federales.

 

Ciertos estados temen pagar de sus recursos la adopción de las nuevas normas, además de argumentar que sacar la licencia de conducir será un trámite más burocráticamente oneroso para los ciudadanos estadounidenses y residentes legales.

 

"Los gobernadores consideran todas las alternativas. Si más de la mitad de los gobernadores deciden que no acataremos la norma sin oponernos, el Congreso tendrá que considerar cambios en este mandato si no va acompañado de la consiguiente financiación" federal, sostuvo el gobernador de Arkansas Mike Huckabee, vicepresidente de la Asociación Nacional de Gobernadores. Un ayudante de Huckabee aclaró que entre las alternativas figura acudir a los tribunales de justicia.

 

Algunos legisladores estatales temen que las nuevas normas obligarán a los solicitantes a efectuar más de una visita a los departamentos de vehículos motorizados, una vez para mostrar las partidas de nacimiento que los estados deben verificar y una segunda para recoger el permiso de manejar.

 

La Cámara aprobó las normas la semana pasada, adjuntas a una partida de 82.000 millones de dólares para gastos militares. El Senado votará el proyecto la próxima semana y pasará entonces al presidente George W. Bush para su consideración y probable firma.

Descartan perfil racial

 

Por Sarah Muench

La Voz

Mayo 10, 2005

 

La Corte Suprema de Arizona decidió la semana pasada que los cargos criminales pueden ser eliminados en casos de perfil racial, o cuando la policía detenga a los automovilistas basados en su raza.

 

“Es un paso adelante para asegurar que todos sean tratados igual por nuestras leyes estatales”, dijo el representante demócrata Steve Gallardo.

 

La decisión se realizó a partir del análisis de tres casos específicos entre 2001 y 2002 en el condado de Yavapai, cuando dos automovilistas, un afro americano y un latino, fueron detenidos en la Interestatal 17 por supuestas violaciones de tráfico.

 

El abogado en el caso, Lee Brooke Phillips, había pedido que la corte Yavapai pagara a un experto para analizar estadísticas que pudieran demostrar las faltas de un gran número de conductores de minorías, pero el juez rechazó la idea, diciendo que el perfil racial no puede ser un argumento para imputar cargos criminales.

 

El caso fue tomado por el Tribunal Supremo de Arizona y Phillips demandó al Departamento de Seguridad Pública de Arizona (DPS por sus siglas en inglés) y lo acusó de perfil racial.

 

DPS negó la acusación, pero acordó comenzar a conseguir estadísticas y tomar medidas para evitar arrestos debido al color de la piel.

 

“Puede hacer todos los estudios que quiera y conseguir toda la información estadística que pueda, y el resultado final mostrará que nuestra policía no distingue a las personas por su perfil racial”, dijo Frank Valenzuela, portavoz de DPS.

 

La decisión ratificó que es posible defenderse en una corte por la idea de ser detenido debido al perfil racial y someter el caso a la Corte de Yavapai para que cada caso pueda ser resuelto.

 

“Un estado no puede imponer sus leyes a afroamericanos o latinos sólo por sus caras”, escribió el juez Andrew Hurwitz en la decisión de la Corte.

 

Esta decisión, en medio de muchas iniciativas antiinmigrantes como las propuestas para cambiar el idioma oficial al inglés, la extensión de la Proposición 200 y las prácticas del Proyecto Minuteman, es un paso positivo entre la negatividad alrededor de los latinos de Arizona, aunque todavía hay mucha oposición para luchar, opinan proponentes.

 

La representante demócrata Kyrsten Sinema dijo que los jueces arizonenses han sido vistos como activistas por legisladores conservadores.

 

Ahora, con las medidas de la Corte los departamentos de policía podrán crear programas anti-perfil racial, dijo Andrea Esquer, portavoz de la Oficina del Procurador de Arizona.

Mayo 5, 2005

 

Phoenix (Arizona).- La Corte Suprema de Arizona ha dictaminado que todas aquellas personas que enfrentan cargos criminales podrán defenderse si prueban que se utilizó el concepto de perfil racial en el momento de su arresto.

 

El juez Andrew Hurwitz dictaminó ayer que el estado no puede tener leyes que solamente aplican a "ciertas" personas, con un "cierto" color de piel o características físicas.

 

"El cumplimiento de la ley no puede estar basado solamente de acuerdo a la raza", dijo Hurwitz en un comunicado de prensa.

 

La decisión de la Corte Suprema se basa en tres casos ocurridos durante los años 2001 y 2002, en los que conductores afroamericanos y latinos fueron detenidos en la Interestatal 17 por supuestas violaciones de tráfico.

 

En esos casos, al revisar los autos de los sospechosos, las autoridades encontraron drogas, por lo que ahora enfrentan cargos por delitos criminales en contra de la salud.

 

El abogado defensor de los acusados, Lee Brooke Phillips, aseguró que la única razón por la que sus clientes fueron detenidos fue por el color de su piel.

 

Phillips pidió a la Corte Superior del Condado Yavapai que el estado pague a un experto para que haga un estudio sobre el número desproporcionado de conductores de minorías que son detenidos por los oficiales del Departamento de Seguridad Pública (DPS).

 

El juez en el caso denegó su petición argumentando que las acusaciones de perfil racial no eran atenuantes para la defensa en contra de cargos criminales.

 

Fue entonces cuando Phillips llevó el caso ante la Suprema Corte de Arizona. Por esa razón, la corte en Yavapai puso el caso en espera esperando el dictamen.

 

Al mismo tiempo, el abogado defensor entabló otra demanda civil en contra del DPS en la que acusa a la agencia de realizar sus operaciones sobre la base del perfil racial de los conductores.

 

En febrero, el DPS acordó llevar a cabo una serie de cambios en su sistema de operaciones para asegurarse de que los conductores no fueran detenidos solamente por su aspecto.

 

Como parte del acuerdo, el DPS dispuso una partida de 750.000 dólares para colocar cámaras de vídeo en cada uno de sus 330 vehículos que patrullan las carreteras de Arizona, para que puedan tener un récord visual de cada detención, el motivo y lo que ocurre durante los arrestos.

 

En el acuerdo civil con otros 11 demandantes de minorías también representando por Phillips, el DPS nunca admitió que sus oficiales hicieron sus detenciones sobre la base del perfil racial.

 

"Creo que la decisión de la Suprema Corte beneficiará a muchos latinos que han sido detenidos en las carreteras solamente por el color de su piel", dijo Phillips.

 

El abogado defensor indicó que, de acuerdo con un estudio llevado a cabo en el 2003, de medio millón de detenciones de tráfico en Arizona, se encontró mayor tendencia de los agentes del DPS por revisar los autos conducidos por minorías.

 

La decisión de la Corte Suprema de ninguna manera libra de todo cargo a los tres defendidos de Phillips, quienes ahora deben demostrar ante los tribunales que fueron efectivamente víctimas de perfil racial.

 

Por su parte la decisión de la Suprema Corte preocupa algunos fiscales como Michael White del Condado Yavapai, quien dijo que algunas personas podrían abusar de este veredicto.

 

"Todo debe de estar en balance, nos arriesgamos a que los delincuentes traten de evadir la ley escudándose en que fueron detenidos por su raza", dijo White.

 

Agregó que la justicia tendrá el duro trabajo de dictaminar quien es realmente víctima de perfil racial y quien no.

Stealing Arizona ''fair and square''

PIRATES OF THE RIO GRANDE

Steve Benson

Editorial cartoonist

The Arizona Republic

 

It's always entertaining to hear from readers who take the time to respond to my cartoons.

 

A case in point was reaction to my drawing of May 11th, in which I pointed out that, in a case of turnabout being fair play, we here in Arizona should be speaking "Spanish Only" since the United States stole Arizona from Mexico in the first place.

 

Rowdy reader reaction was swift in coming.

 

One wrote to say that the U.S. Congress, led by our president, declared war on Mexico in 1846 because supposedly Mexican troops were the ones who started it all by attacking a U.S. scouting party just north of the Rio Grande River.

 

"God, you're pathetic," the reader wrote.

 

He further noted that I had forgot to mention "the Gadsen Purchase which gave Arizona and New Mexico their southern boundaries."

 

He ended his hysterical historical review by noting, "What a joke you are!"

 

Unfortunately, this same reader repeatedly misspelled "Gadsden Purchase" and misidentified the U.S. president who backed Congress' declaration of war against Mexico as "James Polka."

 

I wrote him back, thanking him for making my day.

 

Another reader, upset with the same cartoon, phoned to voice her irritation.

 

"You must be of Mexican descent," she snapped.

 

I replied, "No, I'm not " [my ancestors actually came to America from England and Denmark].

 

Besides, I added, "There are lots of Americans in this country who are of Mexican descent. Why do you mention Mexican descent?"

 

The reader began yelling at me about how we should all be Americans first.

 

End of conversation.

 

A phone call followed from yet another raging reader.

 

Without so much as an introduction, the caller said, "So, are you the wetb-k lover?"

 

I replied, "I am."

 

She blurted out, "Have you ever heard of the Gadsden Purchase?"

 

I started to answer that, yes, I had but she hung up before I could manage to finish the sentence.

 

Still another reader gave me a jingle to burn my ear.

 

"You delight in always attacking America," he said, accusingly.

 

I asked him to give me evidence that this, in fact, was the case.

 

He didn't pony up, so I pressed him further.

 

He replied, "Let me clarify. You always attack America when it comes to Mexico."

 

Then he added, "You people always refuse to call them 'illegal aliens.'"

 

I asked him to to identify who he meant by "you people."

 

After hemming and hawing, he clarified himself again. "Some of you people, " he said.

 

Just who was "who," he didn't say.

 

Sigh.

 

So went much of my day.

 

Sensing that my cartoon readers might benefit from a basic history lesson, my editor, Ken Western, suggested I write a little something for this blog about how the U.S. managed to steal Arizona from Mexico via a tragic, unnecessary and imperialistic war it launched against our southern neighbor from 1846 to 1848.

 

I was on deadline with a cartoon to do for the next day, plus had a luncheon to attend for a departing staff member, but fortunately I had in my office a trusty set of The World Book Encyclopedia.

 

That, along with some useful Internet links to the writings of a Mexican War veteran, none other than Civil War Commanding General of the Union Army and President of the United States Ulysses S. Grant.

 

It was enough for starters.

 

I got to work on a quick historical overview of America's territorial land grab from Mexico - even though it made me late for lunch.

 

I recalled that a couple of readers had mentioned the "Gadsden Purchase" which, they suggested, amounted to fair and just compensation from the United States to Mexico for the Arizona Territory. In actuality, we simply mugged them in order to take it from them.

 

The purpose of the Gadsden Purchase was to settle a post-war quarrel between the U.S. and Mexico over where to draw the western boundary between the two countries.

 

In this steal of a deal, the U.S. government bought up a strip of land that included an area of over 29,000 square miles south of the Gila River in what is part of present-day Arizona and New Mexico.

 

By the time the deal was sealed, the Mexican government was deep in bankruptcy.

 

Its president, Santa Anna, sold this valuable piece of property to the American oppressors for a cool $10 million.

 

Unfortunately for Santa Anna, he chose to squander most of the money.

 

As a result, he lost both his presidency and his residency, ending up in exile at the hands of angry Mexican politicians a mere year after the Gadsden treaty was ratified by the U.S. Senate.

 

Defenders of the American war against the Mexicans would like you to believe that the land we snatched was honorably won by us from them, then legitimately sold to us by them.

 

Not.

 

In reality, at the time of the Mexican War, Arizona was Mexican territory.

 

It ended up being seized by the U.S. in an American-declared war launched after U.S. troops entered Mexican territory in a blunt-force bid to extend the boundaries of Texas to the Rio Grande River.

 

The war, started by the U.S. on questionable pretexts at best, grew out of Mexico's defensive response to Texas' demand for territory that Mexico deemed to be its own.

 

When Texas revolted against Mexico in 1835 and declared itself sovereign the following year, the Mexican government refused to acknowledge Texas' claim to independence.

 

Mexico warned the U.S. that it would sever diplomatic ties with Washington if Texas was awarded statehood.

 

Under the administration of President James K. Polk (not Polka), who favored Texas annexation and further U.S. expansionism, the Republic of Texas became an American state in 1845.

 

True to its word, Mexico cut diplomatic ties to the U.S.

 

Now was America's chance to go for the gold.

 

Lusting for further territory by means of battling the weaker Mexican state, America ignored opportunities to settle the dispute peacefully and instead declared war on Mexico.

 

The U.S. Congress announced its hostile intentions after Mexican troops understandably defended themselves in a contested southwestern border area between Texas and Mexico marked by the Rio Grande River.

 

With a longing eye fixed on this particular locale, Texas had claimed its territory be extended to the Rio Grande.

 

Mexico objected, insisting that Texas possessions never reached further south than the Nueces River.

 

Despite what Texans say, the Mexican right to this disputed dirt was just as legitimate as the Lone Star invaders' claim to ownership.

 

Enter Major General Zachary Taylor and 4,000 American troops.

 

Under orders from Polk, Taylor and his men advanced to the Rio Grande from the Nueces in the spring of 1846.

 

In response, Mexico sprang a surprise attack on a small forward band of U.S. cavalry that had moved into an area just north of the Rio Grande - and there defeated them.

 

How dare they.

 

Two weeks later, claiming that Mexico had "invaded our territory and shed American blood on American soil," Congress declared war on Mexico.

 

Rally 'round the flag, boys!

 

The U.S. land grab was on.

 

To make a long story short, the U.S. beat up Mexico.

 

In the war's aftermath, defenders of the holy sale have insisted that Mexico agreed to award Arizona territory to the U.S. fair and square.

 

If you believe that, I've got a bridge in Mexico to sell you.

 

In reality, Mexico went along with the U.S. purchase of Arizona only after the land had been forcibly and irretrievably ripped from Mexican possession.

 

By this point, a pummeled Mexico was in no position to reverse the deed - or the deal.

 

Of course, the U.S. didn't want to be seen as too greedy, so it spun the story that it had gone to war in an honest effort to collect on debts that Mexico had refused to pay.

 

With the rowdy support of a bunch of hot-headed Americans, the U.S. government invaded Mexico to forcibly collect some $3 million it said was owed the U.S. for the loss of American lives and fortune after Mexico had won its independence from Spain a quarter of a century earlier.

 

But wait, there's more.

 

And, what's more, it's more important.

 

What really was behind the U.S. drumbeat for war was the imperialist American belief in a divinely-ordained "manifest destiny" - a conviction it used to rationalize its continued military march westward.

 

In a nutshell (or cannon shell, as the case may be), the driving force behind America's war on Mexico was an insatiable desire to add to its national land mass.

 

By invading Mexico itself, the U.S. forced the Mexican government into accepting the loss of Mexican territory - land the U.S. intended on wrenching from Mexico in the first place.

 

Ultimately, an outgunned and militarily defeated Mexico was forced to swallow the terms of the Guadalupe Hidalgo peace treaty.

 

In other words, Mexico resigned itself to accepting the treaty out of fear of losing even more of its territory to the American invaders.

 

And, oh, what a haul it turned out to be.

 

America's war booty eventually totaled over a half-a-million square miles of spankin' new real estate.

 

Finally, defenders of America's unjust war against Mexico argue that Mexico started the fight, then ended up getting (and losing) what it deserved.

 

Enter Ulysses S. Grant.

 

Grant, a veteran of the Mexican War who served under Commander Taylor, begged to differ - big time.

 

He saw the U.S. invasion of Mexico for what it actually was: an American-hatched conspiracy to acquire empire.

 

It was a prize, he lamented, for which the U.S. was destined to pay dearly.

 

In his memoirs (and this puts a final period on a particularly ignoble American period of manifest militarism,) Grant wrote scathingly:

 

"Generally the officers of the army were indifferent whether the annexation [of Texas] was consummated or not, but not so all of them. For myself, I was bitterly opposed to the measure and to this day regard the [Mexican] war, which resulted, as one of the most unjust ever waged by a stronger against a weaker nation. It was an instance of a republic following the bad example of European monarchies, in not considering justice in their desire to acquire additional territory."

 

"The occupation, separation and annexation were, from the inception of the movement to its final consummation, a conspiracy to acquire territory out of which slave states might be formed for the American Union."

 

"It is to the credit of the American nation, however, that after conquering Mexico, and while practically holding the country, in our possession, so that we could have retained the whole of it, or made any terms we chose, we paid a round sum for the additional territory taken, more than it was worth, or was likely to be to Mexico. To us it was an empire and of incalculable value, but it might have been obtained by other means. The Southern rebellion was largely the outgrowth of the Mexican war. Nations, like individuals, are punished for their transgressions. We got our punishment in the most sanguinary and expensive war of modern times."

Pope puts John Paul on fast track for sainthood

 

Associated Press

May. 13, 2005 08:20 AM

 

VATICAN CITY - Pope Benedict XVI put his predecessor on the fast track for sainthood Friday and appointed San Francisco Archbishop William Levada as his successor as guardian of church doctrine, the highest Vatican office ever held by an American.

 

The pope's decision to authorize the start of the process for sainthood for Pope John Paul II overrode the usual five-year waiting period following the death of a candidate before beatification procedures can begin. The only other time the waiting period was waived was for Mother Teresa. The process was begun a year after her death.

 

Benedict made the announcement in Latin during a meeting at the Basilica of St. John Lateran with the Roman clergy. Friday is the anniversary of an 1981 assassination attempt on John Paul in St. Peter's Square at the hands of a Turkish gunman. advertisement

 

In his other announcement, Benedict tapped his old friend Levada, a 68-year-old conservative theologian, as prefect for the Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith, filling the job that he had held for nearly 24 years before being named pope last month.

 

The position is one of the most powerful at the Vatican, responsible for ensuring the faithful follow church doctrine and punishing those who don't. During his term as prefect, then Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger wielded enormous power in shaping church policy, silencing dissident theologians and signing off on virtually every document that had to do with doctrine.

 

It was likely that Levada would maintain the Vatican's uncompromising opposition to abortion, euthanasia, ordaining women, homosexuality and lifting the celibacy requirement for priests.

 

Levada has voiced opposition to same-sex marriages and said priests should ask bishops for guidance on whether to refuse a Catholic politician communion if the politician supports abortion rights. He also has been involved in efforts aimed at Episcopal-Roman Catholic dialogue in the United States.

 

In anticipation of the appointment, the Rev. Jim Bretzke, co-chair of the University of San Francisco's theology department, described Levada as intelligent, careful and fair. "He has all the right credentials," Bretzke said. "The conservatives respect him and even the liberals respect him."

 

In tapping an American, Benedict has put someone in charge of his old office who is deeply familiar with the clergy sexual abuse scandal in the U.S. church. After the scandal erupted in 2002, John Paul decided that the issue should be handled by the doctrinal office.

 

A major victims' group in the United States bitterly complained about Levada's appointment, saying it was "an insensitive and unwise decision."

 

"Regarding abuse in the San Francisco archdiocese, Levada has been slow to act, harsh to victims and committed to secrecy," said a statement from The Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests.

 

About 160 civil sexual abuse cases have been filed against eight northern California diocese, including San Francisco. Only a handful have gone to trial.

 

Levada has served as archbishop of San Francisco since 1995; before that, he was archbishop of another largely liberal American city, Portland, Ore.

 

The announcement about John Paul II opens the way for the possible beatification and canonization of John Paul, following an investigation into the late pope's life and approval of miracles attributed to him. One miracle is required for John Paul to be beatified, a second one for him to be declared a saint.

 

Calls from faithful for John Paul to be declared a saint began immediately after his death on April 2. At his funeral Mass, pilgrims chanted "Santo Santo!" and held up banners saying "Santo Subito" ("Sainthood Now").

 

Benedict's announcement drew a standing ovation from the Roman priests.

 

He read a letter in which the official who heads the Vatican's Congregation for the Causes of Saints, Cardinal Jose Saraiva Martins, announced that Benedict himself had waived the five-year waiting period for John Paul's possible sainthood cause to begin.

 

"And now I have a very joyous piece of news for you," Benedict said in Italian before reading the letter, signed May 9.

 

Benedict, who had been seated, stood up to join the clergy in applauding the major tribute to his predecessor.

 

John Paul himself lifted the five-year waiting period for the beatification procedures to begin for Mother Teresa, the nun who dedicated her life to caring for India's poorest people. He launched the beatification process a year after her death in 1997. She was beatified in October 2003.

 

Vatican officials said Benedict's announcement gives no time element for John Paul's possible beatification and does not do away with requirements including the investigation of the late pope's life and the approval of a miracle.

 

Monsignor Gianfranco Bella, the official who is responsible for actually starting John Paul's beatification cause, said in an interview Friday that he hoped to start gathering documents and contact witnesses as soon as possible.

 

"But things have to be done well. They can't be rushed through," said Bella.

 

He called Benedict's announcement "wonderful," and suggested approving a miracle wouldn't prove too difficult.

 

"Certainly he had many gifts, and touched so many people," he said. "Even the conversion of one person is a miracle."

 

Following John Paul's death, Italian newspapers were rife with reports of alleged miracles attributed to him. But the reports stemmed from inexplicable cures that occurred while John Paul was still alive, while according to Vatican procedures, a miracle has to have occurred after John Paul's death for it to be considered in the saint-making process.

 

The Rev. Peter Gumpel, who is leading the beatification cause for another pope, Pius XII, said Friday that it would still be several years before John Paul could be beatified.

 

He noted that first all the documents and personal writings of the late pope will have to be gathered, witnesses around the world will have to testify before church tribunals, vast volumes of material will have to be prepared and submitted to panels of historians, theologians, bishops and cardinals for consideration.

 

Then a miracle attributed to John Paul's intercession must be confirmed.

 

Beatification is the first step toward canonization. It allows the candidate to be called "Blessed" and honored locally or in a limited way in the liturgy. Canonization is an infallible declaration by the pope that a person who was virtuous to a heroic degree in life is now in heaven and worthy of honor and veneration by all the faithful.

 

In Wadowice, Poland, where John Paul II was born Karol Wojtyla the news was received with joy.

 

"I am so happy the new pope did not wait, especially since for me personally John Paul II was a saint even during his lifetime," 47-year-old Jolanta Radon said. "I have my own testimony. ... During my last pilgrimage to Rome I had a sick leg and I returned with a healed one. I am absolutely sure I owe it to him."

Investigation to start on road to sainthood

 

Nicole Winfield

Associated Press

VATICAN CITY - Pope Benedict XVI's decision to put Pope John Paul II on a fast track was an answer to popular calls after his death, when pilgrims interrupted the pontiff's April 8 funeral Mass with chants of "Santo! Santo!" and held up banners proclaiming "Santo Subito!" or "Sainthood Immediately!"

 

Monsignor Gianfranco Bella, the official responsible for starting the beatification cause, said Friday that he hoped to start the investigation "as soon as possible."

 

"But things have to be done well. They can't be rushed through," he said in an interview.

Canonization is an infallible declaration by the pope that a person who was virtuous to a heroic degree in life is now in heaven and worthy of honor and veneration as a saint.

 

In Wadowice, Poland, where Pope John Paul was born, the news was received with joy.

 

"If people here in Wadowice pray so much to John Paul II, that is a sign that for them he is in heaven. And being in heaven means being a saint," said Father Jakub Gil, parish priest of Wadowice's Basilica of Saint Mary, where the future pope was baptized.

a couple of years ago mesa mayor keno hawker came to a libertarian party meeting at the cattlemans club and tried to pass himself off as a libertarian. looks he just another crooks like most of the other elected officials

Mesa and Cactus Towing are accused of bid scheme

Lawsuit by rival firm also names city officials

 

Justin Juozapavicius and Senta Scarborough

The Arizona Republic

May. 14, 2005 12:00 AM

 

MESA - Mesa conspired last year with a Valley towing company to throw out bids for a lucrative contract when it was discovered the firm wasn't the lowest bidder, a lawsuit filed Friday claims.

 

The 17-page suit filed by Tow Boyz in Maricopa County Superior Court names Mayor Keno Hawker, Vice Mayor Claudia Walters and City Manager Mike Hutchinson, among others, as defendants.

 

It also names Diversified Towing Inc., known as Cactus Towing, as the company that used its influence to have the first round of bids thrown out in order to keep a towing service contract it had held for 10 years.

 

"They hoped it was all going to go away," said Chad Gammage, general manager of Tow Boyz. "Their arrogance has blinded them to the reality of the situation."

 

An attorney for Cactus denied wrongdoing and criticized the lawsuit.

 

"This only shows Cactus the degrees (that) competitors will go to defeat Cactus Towing in the bidding process," said Cactus attorney Kent Nicholas. "There may be some frustration by competitors . . . but to this date, the Attorney General's Office has found no wrongdoing whatsoever."

 

Others are named

 

The suit also names City Attorney Debbie Spinner, Deputy City Attorney Joe Padilla, Materials Management Director Ed Quedens and retired city employee Sharon Seekins as defendants.

 

Spinner, speaking for the city, said she had no comment Friday because she had not reviewed the lawsuit.

 

Cactus, one of the largest tow businesses in the state, is also the subject of a white-collar fraud investigation by the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office that could affect thousands of Valley motorists.

 

The company holds exclusive contracts with Mesa, Chandler and the Arizona Department of Public Safety's East Valley U.S. 60 operation. It is also in the running for a contract in Scottsdale.

 

In March, sheriff's investigators seized 200 boxes of documents and nearly $200,000 in cash, receipts and bank statements from Cactus offices and the homes of owner Lee Watkins and Todd DeMasseo, the general manager. DeMasseo and Watkins have denied accusations of criminal wrongdoing and no arrests have been made.

 

Last fall at a City Council meeting, Gammage accused Hawker and Hutchinson, among others, of racketeering, collusion and speculative bidding and called for their immediate removal from office.

 

He also read aloud a letter his firm sent to Gov. Janet Napolitano's office asking for the state to intervene. Hutchinson has confirmed that the state Attorney General's Office is investigating the matter.

 

"These people need to be removed from office," Gammage said Friday. "Their decision-making doesn't benefit the welfare of the community."

 

According to the lawsuit, Cactus had Mesa attorney David Udall meet in secret with Padilla, the deputy city attorney, when it found out it wasn't the lowest bidder for the contract.

 

In fact, Gammage's firm came in the lowest after another tow firm could not meet certain contract specifications, the lawsuit states. Udall did not return calls Friday seeking comment.

 

Charter violation?

 

After the secret meeting, according to the suit, Padilla ordered all the bids tossed out and called for a rebid without consulting the City Council, a violation of the City Charter.

 

Seekins, then the city's materials management director, later came up with "baseless" reasons for the rebid, including "typos that never existed and other vague and ambiguous excuses," according to the lawsuit.

 

Seekins, who said last month she didn't know if she could talk about being deposed by the Attorney General's Office, declined to comment.

 

Cactus Towing's exclusive city contract expired in February, but the city is still using the company until a new contract, which could involve up to four companies under a zoned towing system, is approved.

Finger is traced in Wendy's case

Digit given to claimant's spouse

 

Greg Sandoval

Associated Press

May. 14, 2005 12:00 AM

 

SAN JOSE - For eight weeks, it was a question that bemused the public and perplexed investigators: Who on Earth was the rightful owner of a finger that a woman claimed she found in her steaming bowl of Wendy's chili?

 

A dead aunt of Anna Ayala, the Las Vegas woman who made the claim? A mysterious Mexican on her in-laws' ranch south of the border? A rural Nevada woman who got too friendly with a pet leopard?

 

On Friday, San Jose police said they finally had their answer: The finger came from a Nevada man who lost it in an industrial accident and gave it to the husband of Ayala, who reportedly planted it in her fast-food meal in a scam to get money. advertisement

 

"The jig is up," Police Chief Rob Davis said during a news conference. "The puzzle pieces are beginning to fall into place, and the truth is being exposed."

 

Davis said a tip was called in to a hotline established by the Ohio-based fast-food chain, and police found the man in Nevada this week. He said scientific tests confirmed the finger was his.

 

Davis would not identify the man nor say why they think he gave the finger to Ayala's husband. The nature of the industrial accident was also not disclosed. They said only that the man was an associate of Ayala's husband, a construction worker.

 

Authorities said last month that they believed the story was a hoax, and they arrested the 39-year-old Ayala at her home in Las Vegas and charged her with attempted grand larceny for reportedly trying to shake down Wendy's.

 

Ayala filed a claim against the restaurant chain afterward, but later withdrew it as scrutiny on her grew. Investigators found at least 13 cases in which she has filed claims in her name or her children's.

 

During the investigation, Wendy's said no employees at the San Jose restaurant had missing fingers, and no suppliers of Wendy's ingredients had reported any finger injuries. Authorities reported that there was no evidence the finger had been cooked.

 

Calls to an attorney for Ayala and Jaime Plascencia, her husband, were not returned. Plascencia is in jail on identity-theft charges unrelated to the Wendy's case.

 

Authorities are considering additional charges against the couple, Davis said.

 

"We are exploring all other options and avenues available to see that those involved in this charade will be investigated," the police chief said.

 

Wendy's has offered a $100,000 reward and has said it has lost millions in sales since Ayala made the claim while visiting her family in San Jose. Dozens of employees at the company's northern California franchises also have been laid off.

 

Wendy's has not yet given out the award. Company spokesman Bob Bertini said officials need to talk with police to determine who should receive it.

 

In a statement, the company praised San Jose police and said the latest evidence vindicates its employees.

 

"We strongly defended our brand and paid a severe price," said Tom Mueller, Wendy's president of North America. "We are extremely proud of our employees and franchisees who have suffered the most, and we are forever grateful to our many customers who have supported us during this difficult time."

 

The Nevada agency that investigates industrial accidents has no record of a worker injury like the one San Jose police described, said Tom Czehowski, chief administrator of the state Occupational Safety and Health Administration.

 

Nevada employers are required to report only deaths or injuries causing the hospitalization of three or more employees, he said.

Valley fuel lines' upgrading urged

Kinder Morgan repairs sought

 

Ken Alltucker

The Arizona Republic

May. 14, 2005 12:00 AM

 

Arizona utility regulators traveled to Houston on Friday to ask top executives of Kinder Morgan Inc. to consider replacing a 30-mile stretch of aging pipeline that runs from west Phoenix through Gilbert.

 

Calling the half-century-old buried pipeline that snakes past thousands of Valley homes a potential safety hazard, Commissioner Kris Mayes asked Chief Executive Officer Richard Kinder to consider replacing a stretch of the 6-inch line that runs from east of Gilbert to a tank farm in west Phoenix.

 

Commissioners also urged Kinder to resolve a tussle with Chandler over an immediate proposal to replace a 5.5-mile fuel line along Pecos Road.

 

While acknowledging that they have no regulatory authority to force the Houston-based pipeline company to replace the high-pressure Arizona fuel line, Mayes and Corporation Commission Chairman Jeff Hatch-Miller made the trip to impress upon executives the importance of having a safe and reliable pipeline in Arizona.

 

"We wanted Kinder to know how important it is for the state of Arizona and how vigilant we would be," Mayes said. "Kinder Morgan maintains that the pipeline is safe. I disagree with that assessment."

 

Kinder and two other top executives agreed to study the proposal and report back to commissioners within weeks. The company will study costs and determine whether it would be willing to help pick up the tab for pipeline construction. It's unclear whether the company would expect taxpayers to help pay for the costs.

 

Kinder Morgan also must determine whether such an ambitious project would pose difficult engineering challenges, a company spokesman said.

 

"We will evaluate the proposal and look at alternatives with them," Jay Thorne, the company's Arizona spokesman, said Friday.

 

Commissioner Bill Mundell couldn't make the trip to Houston, but he penned a letter urging Kinder to take on the short-term goal of resolving a dispute with Chandler over a proposed fuel line along Pecos Road. The cost is estimated to be more than $5.5 million.

 

Chandler wants the company to replace a 5.5-mile stretch of fuel line that the city contends is dangerous, corroding and missing protective coating. But the company said the pipeline works fine and has even sued the city in federal court to block a forced relocation.

 

Kinder Morgan executive Tom Bannigan, who also met with Mayes and Hatch-Miller on Friday, has said that Chandler should be willing to help the $9.1 billion company pay for the relocation.

 

In his letter to Kinder, a Texas oil magnate, Mundell wrote that Chandler was once "like many of the small farming communities in west Texas."

 

But rapid suburban development has added thousands of homes in Chandler and other East Valley suburbs. So Mundell reasons that it's important for Kinder Morgan to work with Arizona's state and local officials not only to resolve the conflict in Chandler, but also to replace aging lines buried near all of the Valley's densely populated areas.

 

In 2003, Kinder Morgan's pipeline rupture near a new-home community in Tucson disrupted the flow of gasoline to the Valley. That triggered a run on gas in the Valley with some reports of stations charging as much as $3 a gallon.

 

Not only are commissioners concerned about ensuring a steady supply of fuel, they also worry about the potential safety hazards such a disruption would cause in the Valley.

 

"It was fortuitous that when the pipe burst in Tucson that the homes were under construction," Mundell said. "It would have been a major disaster if the (Tucson) homes were occupied."

Watch with glee as politicians give us rides that wreck

 

May. 14, 2005 12:00 AM

 

I see where we have before us a marvelous opportunity, a chance to attract untold numbers of new tourists to our fine state. The governor and the Legislature have teamed up to create a special taxing district to help investors build a theme park in Arizona. Actually, two theme parks: one in Phoenix and one in Williams.

 

This, of course, is wonderful news, as everyone knows that if you want to entice someone to come look at the Grand Canyon it's best to also offer mouse ears.

 

And yet I'm not convinced that we need a new amusement park in the Valley. Having lived here for quite some time, I'm pretty sure we already are an amusement park.

 

Everywhere you look, there is something to astound. There's the "Haunted Mansion," home to all the GOP's candidates for governor. There's "It's a Small World - Narrow Almost," a harrowing trip through the Arizona Legislature. Then there are the thrill rides. Here are a few of my favorites:

 

Russell Pearce's Car Toon Spin

 

Climb into this runaway cab as it careens through the animated world of Rep. Russell Pearce in a wild and wacky ride through post-Proposition 200 Arizona. Powered by frustration and public opinion, you'll find yourself chasing after all those people who illegally sneaked into the state while strangely steering clear of the businesses that illegally hire them. But be warned. At the end of the ride, you'll be right where you started because this isn't the vehicle that can take us to that faraway land of Looney Toons, where immigration policy is born.

 

Peter Pan McCain's Flight

 

Hang on as Arizona's senior senator takes flight. Float through the pages of his Secure America and Orderly Immigration Act. Sail over the moonlit Capitol, where danger awaits. Navigate past the second congressman on the right and straight on till you've cleared a legal path for 11 million people who are here illegally. McCain weaves his magic, insisting that this "is not, I repeat NOT, an amnesty bill." Of course, it is amnesty, but unless you're living in Neverland, some form of amnesty is inevitable. Watch and wonder: Does McCain have the pixie dust to make this puppy fly?

 

Splat Mountain

 

Experience Arizona's Instrument to Measure Standards, a graduation test nine years in the making. You'll thrill as our leaders spend tens of millions on this test to assist Arizona's youth to the mountaintop of academic achievement. You'll gasp as the slopes become so slippery that only a chosen few in the Class of 2006 reach the summit. You'll laugh your head off as you watch our sweaty leaders, holding firm that the standards must be met. It's just we're going to lower the passing grade to 59 percent. And decree that you no longer have to reach 59 percent because, hey, four in 10 juniors haven't, and time is running out. Something's about to go splat, all right. But I doubt it'll be the kids.

 

Pirates of Riverview

 

Get set for adventure as a ragtag band of marauding car dealers and shopping center developers sail into town, intent on looting the public till. In city after city, our leaders eagerly offer up a treasure trove of tax subsidies if only they will build us new places to shop. The Legislature tries to defend the lowly taxpayer but, alas, is no match for the sheer political muscle of these guys as they plunder and pillage with a smile. Now playing in Mesa and coming soon to a city near you. But be warned. The price of admission may be higher than you think: $84 million in Mesa alone.

Curbs on small aircraft frustrating some pilots

 

Bob Golfen and Thomas Ropp

The Arizona Republic

May. 15, 2005 12:00 AM

 

The image of confused small-aircraft pilots flying into restricted airspace was brought sharply into focus last week when two fliers accidentally wandered too close to the White House, prompting an Air Force scramble and widespread evacuation.

 

In Arizona, restricted airspace rules may not be quite as stark as those governing Washington, D.C. aircraft, where post-Sept. 11 fears have broadened the restrictions and heightened enforcement.

 

Some pilots complain that the Temporary Flight Restrictions imposed by the Federal Aviation Administration since then are too stringent and have gone on for too long.

 

Arv Schultz, president of the Arizona Pilots Association, believes Sept. 11 jitters have spilled over into paranoia. He points to an incident in Chandler in July 2002, when a student pilot on his first solo flight inadvertently had his transponder that allows radar tracking set to a frequency that indicates a hijacking. Rather than contact the student pilot on his radio, two F-16 jet fighters were sent to intercept him.

 

"It's crazy," Schultz said of the current restrictions. "Even a small plane loaded with explosives wouldn't make a dent in a nuclear power plant. You're looking at a vehicle lighter than a compact car."

 

The state does have permanent restricted flight areas mainly related to Air Force training. A pilot who gets lost and flies into those areas could be making a deadly error.

 

At Luke Air Force Base in the West Valley, there were 18 midair near-misses during 2004 caused mainly when private pilots in small aircraft flew into areas where high-performance F-16 jet fighters are taking off, landing or on training missions.

 

"We can fly much faster than a civilian aircraft can fly, that's for sure," said Maj. John Paradis, a Luke spokesman. "These things happen very quickly."

 

Top officials at Luke, including the wing commander, Col. Robin Rand, have been meeting recently with local governments and aircraft groups to impress upon them the need to beware of flying into military airspace, which include the training bases and ranges in southern Arizona.

 

Most air restrictions imposed by the FAA are temporary rules that reflect the heightened security issues since Sept. 11, although the major restriction is in the form of an advisory rather than a prohibition.

 

"Pilots are strongly advised to avoid the airspace above or in proximity to such sites as power plants (nuclear, hydroelectric or coal), dams, refineries, industrial complexes, military facilities and other similar facilities," the FAA warns in a recent Temporary Flight Restriction advisory. "Pilots should not circle as to loiter in the vicinity over these types of facilities."

 

The only real FAA prohibition is to ban aircraft from flying within 3 nautical miles of sporting events, such as professional football games or auto races, where more than 30,000 people may be present.

 

Temporary Flight Restrictions, or TFRs as they are known among pilots, also can be applied to specific events, such the visit to the Valley of the president or other government official. "That's Secret Service policy to restrict air space during his (the president's) arrival and departure," said Lexi Van Haren, a spokeswoman for Sky Harbor International Airport.

 

Transportation Security Administration spokesman Nico Melendez said the Homeland Security agency does not specifically order airspace restrictions but advises the FAA about security issues.

 

Flying small aircraft is a way of life for many people in Arizona, where Deer Valley Airport is the second-busiest general-aviation facility in the country and Scottsdale Municipal Airport has a lengthy waiting list for space.

 

Temporary Flight Restrictions have been cause for concern among aircraft operators, who fear further encroachment on their flying freedom.

 

Jeff Myers, spokesman for the Maryland-based Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association, said Wednesday's incident at the White House could "very possibly" have a negative impact on general aviation throughout the country, including Arizona.

 

AOPA is the largest and most influential aviation association in the world with a membership that includes two-thirds of all pilots in the United States. AOPA has been particularly active in fighting a trend since Sept. 11 of increased restrictions on where general aviation pilots can fly. Myers said the 15-mile radius no-flight zone around the White House was supposed to be a Temporary Flight Restriction but has been in effect for more than three years.

 

The National Business Aviation Association has also been critical of the TFRs, citing more than 3,000 a year that have been in effect since Sept. 11, costing more than $1 billion in lost jobs, productivity and economic activity. Much of this lost revenue is from the continued closure of Washington's Reagan National Airport to general aviation after Sept. 11.

 

Cave Creek pilot George Ross also believes the Washington incident is bad news for Arizona pilots. Ross, who flies out of Deer Valley Airport, has been flying since 1957.

 

"It affects us tremendously," Ross said. "Several times we couldn't take off out of Deer Valley during the presidential campaign."

Slain al-Qaida man under U.S. watch

 

Dana Priest

Washington Post

May. 15, 2005 12:00 AM

 

WASHINGTON - An al-Qaida figure killed this month by a missile from a CIA-operated unmanned aerial drone had been under surveillance for more than a week by U.S. intelligence and military personnel working along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, a U.S. official and two counterterrorism experts said Saturday.

 

The U.S. team was hoping Haitham al-Yemeni would lead them to al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden, said two counterterrorism experts, both former senior U.S. intelligence officials with knowledge of events surrounding the attack.

 

But after Pakistani authorities early this month captured another al-Qaida leader, Abu Faraj al-Libbi, CIA officials became concerned that Yemeni would go into hiding and decided to try to kill him instead, the counterterrrorism experts said. "We had been working hard to see what he would do," said one expert, referring to Yemeni.

 

Yemeni's importance in the al-Qaida organization could not be learned Saturday. He is not listed by that name in either the FBI or Pakistani "Most Wanted" lists, but the active surveillance of him suggests his importance.

 

The CIA declined to comment. Pakistan's information minister denied that any such incident, which was first reported by ABC News, even happened.

 

"No such incident took place near the Pakistan-Afghanistan border," Sheikh Rashid Ahmed said Saturday.

 

The sources said the Predator drone, operated from a secret base hundreds of miles from the target, located and fired on Yemeni on May 7 in Toorikhel, Pakistan, a suburb of Mirali in the province of North Waziristan.

 

In an article dated May 8, the Dawn newspaper in Pakistan, whose correspondents operate in the tribal areas where the hunt for bin Laden has been most intense, reported that two people had been killed Saturday night by a car bomb. The newspaper, quoting Pakistani officials, said the car was completely destroyed and one of the victims mutilated beyond recognition. It identified the second victim as Samiullah Khan.

 

The CIA and U.S. military Special Operations forces have been operating inside Pakistan for more than two years with the knowledge of Pakistani authorities. But the U.S. presence is controversial with the largely Muslim Pakistani public, which is generally sympathetic to bin Laden and al-Qaida. For that reason, Pakistani officials routinely play down U.S.-Pakistani cooperation.

 

The Predator and other unmanned aerial vehicles have become some of the most successful new weapons for killing small groups of people or individuals in Afghanistan and Iraq. The Washington Post reported in February that the administration also has been flying surveillance drones over Iran for nearly a year to gather intelligence on the country's nuclear weapons program and air defenses.

Evacuation plan of Capitol at issue

 

Sari Horwitz

Washington Post

May. 15, 2005 12:00 AM

 

WASHINGTON - Capitol Police Chief Terrance W. Gainer is meeting with security experts to determine whether evacuating 35,000 people from Capitol buildings when a small plane violates Washington's restricted airspace is the safest policy amid criticism from experts that it might create even more danger.

 

Gainer said a group of engineers, security experts, social scientists and aeronautical engineers from Texas A&M University has been studying Capitol Hill buildings and terrorist attack scenarios to determine the safest options for those inside the buildings.

 

The work already was under way when a small plane headed toward downtown Washington last Wednesday created a midday crisis. Unable to establish contact with the pilots, and with the plane coming within three miles of the White House, Gainer ordered the evacuation of Capitol buildings. Officials also cleared the White House and the Supreme Court until the plane was forced to land in Frederick, Md.

 

"The evacuation policy is an evolving work in progress," Gainer said in an interview Friday.

 

Gainer said he had to make a complicated, split-second decision to evacuate based on the information he had from the Federal Aviation Administration.

 

Since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, Gainer and other leaders have planned for a variety of worst-case possibilities. Several high-ranking law-enforcement officials and homeland security experts, however, questioned Wednesday's evacuation.

 

They said that if a jet loaded with fuel were nearing the White House or the Capitol, an evacuation would make sense. But in this case, they said, officials ordering the evacuations knew the plane was a Cessna 150. The damage that a small plane, even one packed with explosives, could cause to buildings is minimal, they said.

 

Pentagon officials took that into account in deciding not to clear that complex, according to federal authorities.

 

"Evacuation for a small plane makes no sense based on the amount of damage that plane acting as a missile can do," said David Heyman, director of homeland security programs at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a non-profit research group.

2 charged in $10 mil investing scheme

 

Craig Harris

The Arizona Republic

May. 15, 2005 12:00 AM

 

They were the oddest of couples.

 

One had been a Mormon seminary teacher. The other an ex-con.

 

Despite their disparate backgrounds, former Mesa resident Dennis D. Cope and Edgar M. Bias of Houston worked together to run an international fraud scheme that cost investors, including some Arizonans, almost $10 million, according to court records.

 

The losses could be much higher, as investors have told investigators that roughly 600 people invested up to $100 million total.

 

Some of the lost money went toward personal use for Cope and Bias, and there was lavish spending on luxury hotels, restaurants and jewelry, according to credit card records from one of their investment firms.

 

Cope and Bias are alleged to have run their schemes the past 6 1/2 years, playing "catch me if you can" as they eluded inquiries from Canadian officials and investigations by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the FBI, the Internal Revenue Service and securities regulators from at least six states, including Arizona.

 

This spring, however, the feds cracked down on them.

 

'No merit'

 

A grand jury on March 17 indicted the pair in U.S. District Court in Phoenix on 32 charges. The FBI arrested Bias in Houston on March 21, and the next day, U.S. Marshals and the IRS arrested Cope in South Dakota, where he reportedly was running a convenience store.

 

The U.S. Attorney's Office in Phoenix declined to say how the men were found. But one investor said Cope was picked up after a group of jilted investors hired a private investigator to track him down and tell officials his whereabouts.

 

Cope, a paid Mormon seminary teacher who taught high school students in the early 1990s, was charged with 31 crimes, including conspiracy, mail fraud, wire fraud and money laundering. Bias, who spent 2 1/2 years behind bars in New York in the late 1990s for defrauding a Baptist church, was charged with one count of conspiracy.

 

The men, according to the indictment, promised investors high rates of return, such as 120 percent at the end of 45 days, through investments in their companies. Some of the projects included investments in restaurants and a pipeline.

 

The U.S. Attorney's Office called the operations a Ponzi scheme, where money from new investors is used to pay off earlier investors. Typically, the money runs out and many investors lose money.

 

The problem with the investment projects was that they had "little to no merit," according to the U.S. Attorney's Office, and the men intended to use investors' money for other purposes, including their own benefit.

 

Cope, 52, targeted fellow members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, who also gave him money for a church-restoration project in Kirtland, Ohio. Cope boasted in a December 2000 newsletter from one of his companies that $5 million was given to the Mormon Church.

 

No such donation was made, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.

 

A trial is set for Aug. 16 in U.S. District Court in Phoenix, although it is likely defense attorneys will ask for a continuance to review government records because the case is so complex.

 

Cope, who was released from custody without bail, referred questions to his attorney. The 47-year-old Bias, in federal custody in Arizona, could not be reached.

 

"We have yet to see one shred of evidence that Mr. Cope committed any criminal act. The government bears the burden of proof in this matter," said Bill Foreman, Cope's attorney. "We expect that Mr. Cope will be vindicated as to any involvement in any type of crime . . . Our belief is when the facts unfold, Mr. Cope will have shown that he did not commit any fraud against anyone."

 

Numerous investigations

 

Claudia Nelson, an investor who first complained to the Arizona Attorney General's Office almost four years ago about Cope, said it's about time the men were charged.

 

"Denny has slipped through everyone's fingers," said Nelson, a former Arizona resident who lost $130,000 and was introduced to Cope through members of the Mormon Church. "It makes me wonder if they have friends in high places."

 

Nelson also believes that part of the reason it took so long for the government to charge Cope and Bias was that there was constant turnover among key investigators in the different agencies.

 

The U.S. Attorney's Office declined to comment.

 

Arizona securities regulators first learned about Cope on Nov. 20, 1998, according to a search warrant the state Corporation Commission sought in 2002 when it was investigating Cope.

 

The commission never took action against Cope. Instead the case was referred to federal authorities.

 

The unsealed warrant discloses numerous governmental investigations.

 

In 1998, the Alberta Securities Commission notified Arizona that Millennium Group International, one of Cope's Mesa-based companies, was providing a seminar on multilevel marketing.

 

A Canadian regulator was suspicious of claims that the Millennium Group was a $1.8 billion, debt-free corporation that was offering financial security to investors. No Canadian citizen bought into the program, and the inquiry was dropped.

 

Four months later, the Arizona Attorney General's Office received a complaint about the Millennium Group, and it was learned that Utah also was investigating the company.

 

In August 2000, Cope's company became Green Gables Group and Green Gables Management, and he invested a large portion of the money with Bias and his FIIK Investment and Holdings Inc. in Houston.

 

Two years earlier, Bias had been released after serving 18 months in a New York state prison for defrauding a Long Island Baptist church of at least $34,000. He also spent almost a year in Suffolk County, N.Y., Jail for his involvement in the scam, where he invested the church's money in a European offshore oil deal, according to a New York corrections official.

 

By 2002, Arizona, Texas and the FBI all were investigating Bias and Cope. At the time, Cope was telling investors that he was involved in buying a large ranch in Mexico, near the United States, and putting oil wells on it. Cope also said he was building a large power plant on the ranch that would provide electricity for Mexico and California.

 

No such project existed, the warrant said.

 

Heather Murphy, a Corporation Commission spokeswoman, said while her agency uncovered a lot of information in the spring of 2002, the case was referred to federal investigators.

 

"The staff believed there was more to this case than a simple administrative law" issue, Murphy said.

 

"It was entirely appropriate to hand it off to federal folks and give them all the investigative notes and all the information we were able to dredge up . . . I can't speak for federal agents on why it took them a long time."

Army Recruiters Face Investigation

 

GOLDEN, Colo., May 2, 2005

 

"This violates trust, it violates integrity, it violates honor, and it violates duty."

Lt. Col. Jeffrey Brodeur U.S. Army Recruiting

 

(CBS) In an attempt to boost slumping recruitment numbers, the U.S. Army has started offering stronger incentives, including increased enlistment bonuses.

 

But two recruiters from Colorado have been suspended as the Army investigates accusations that they encouraged a teenager to lie and cheat so he could join up.

 

Reporter Rick Sallinger of Denver TV station KCNC reports that 17-year-old high school journalist and honor student David McSwane is just the kind of guy the military would like.

 

But McSwane tells Sallinger, "I wanted to see how far the Army would go during a war to get one more solider."

 

So, says Sallinger, McSwane contacted his local Army recruiting office, in Golden, with a scenario he created.

 

For one thing, he told his recruiter, he was a dropout and didn't have a high school diploma.

 

No problem, McSwane says the recruiter explained. He suggested that McSwane create a fake diploma from a nonexistent school.

 

McSwane recorded the recruiter saying on the phone: "It can be like Faith Hill Baptist School. Whatever you choose."

 

So, as instructed, McSwane went to a Web site and, for $200, arranged to have a phony diploma created. It certified McSwane as a graduate of Faith Hill Baptist High School, the very name the recruiter had suggested, and came complete with a fake grade transcript.

 

What was McSwane's reaction to them encouraging him to get a phony diploma? "I was shocked. I'm sitting there looking at a poster that says, 'Integrity, honor, respect,' and he is telling me to lie."

 

And, says Sallinger, there was more.

 

The Army doesn't accept enlistees with a drug problem, but that's what McSwane pretended to have when he spoke with the recruiter.

 

"I have a problem with drugs. I can't kick the habit. Just marijuana," McSwane recalls telling the recruiter. "And he says, 'Not a problem. Just take this detox." He said he would pay for half of it, and told me where to go (to get it)."

 

Drug testers Sallinger contacted insist it doesn't work, but the recruiter claimed in another recorded phone conversation that taking the detoxification capsules and liquid would help McSwane pass the required test.

 

"The two times that I had the guys use it," the recruiter says on the tape, "it's worked both times. We didn't have to worry about anything."

 

The original recruiter left Golden in a routine transfer, but another recruiter, Sgt. Tim Pickel, picked up the ball.

 

A friend of McSwane's shot video as the sergeant drove McSwane to a store where he could purchase the so-called detox kit.

 

Sallinger then went to the Army recruiting office and confronted Sgt. Pickel. Sallinger played him a conversation McSwane said he had with Pickel on the phone in which Pickel reassures McSwane there are ways around McSwane's supposed problem with marijuana.

 

Pickel quickly referred Sallinger to his superiors.

 

So Sallinger played the tapes and showed the video to Lt. Colonel Jeffrey Brodeur, who heads Army recruiting in the Denver region.

 

"Let me sum up all of this with one word: unacceptable. Completely unacceptable," Brodeur said.

 

"Let me tell you something, sir," he said to Sallinger. "I'm a soldier and have been a soldier for 20 years. This violates trust, it violates integrity, it violates honor, and it violates duty."

 

Brodeur has ordered a full investigation to determine what happened, and if it's part of a broader problem involving military recruiters breaking the rules in order to meet their quotas.

 

(CBS) In Fort Knox, Ky., Lt. Col. Michael Shepherd, the assistant chief of staff, U.S. Army Recruiting Command, agreed wholeheartedly with Brodeur, telling The Early Show co-anchor Harry Smith Monday, "Our initial response is just like the battalion commander's. This type of behavior is totally unacceptable.

 

"This is under investigation and once that's complete, we'll be able to tell what we need to do next. We just need to get back to the business of recruiting. These problems are just ones that we can't stand (for)."

 

Admitting it's "tough out there" signing up recruits these days, Shepherd added, "But none of that pressure would ever warrant any of the behavior we've seen here.

 

"We live by a code of Army values. We have to understand integrity, honor, duty, again, lot of pressure but, what's the penalty for not making mission of the individual recruiter? A matter of maybe he needs additional training, maybe he needs additional resources. And we're here to help provide that here at this headquarters."

 

Shepherd says penalties for the two recruiters could range from letters of reprimand to court martials.

 

Could this sort of thing be happening elsewhere? "We have systems and procedures in place to do inspections throughout the command to ensure these types of things do not happen," Shepherd responded. "We have data-mining capabilities, quality assurance capabilities, that look into the records of these recruiters to reveal if there is some sort of pattern of misbehavior. So when that happens, we get into it early. For some reason…this one came through and didn't catch it ahead of time."

How Far Will The Army Go to Get New Recruits?

Sat, 30 Apr 2005 09:35:11 -0500Summary:

How far will U.S. Army recruiters go to bring young men and women into their ranks? An Arvada West High School senior recently decided to find out. The following is CBS4 Investigator Rick Sallinger’s report…

Republished from CBS4

Just Create a Fake Diploma From a Non-existent School and You Can Go To War

Last month the U.S. Army failed to meet its goal of 6,800 new troops.

 

Aware of this trend, David McSwane, a local high school student, decided he wanted to find out to what extent some recruiters would go to sign up soldiers who were not up to grade.

 

McSwane, 17, is actually just the kind of teenager the military would like. He’s a high school journalist and honor student at Arvada West High School. But McSwane decided he wanted to see “how far the Army would go during a war to get one more solider.”

 

McSwane contacted his local army recruiting office in Golden with a scenario he created. He told a recruiter that he was a dropout and didn’t have a high school diploma.

 

“No problem,” the recruiter explained. He suggested that McSwane create a fake diploma from a non-existent school.

 

McSwane recorded the recruiter saying that on the phone.

 

“It can be like Faith Hill Baptist School or something—whatever you choose,” the recruiter said.

 

As instructed, McSwane went on the computer to a Web site and for $200 arranged to have a phony diploma created that certified him as a graduate of Faith Hill Baptist High School, the very name the recruiter suggested. It came complete with a fake grade transcript.

 

“What was your reaction to them encouraging you to get a phony diploma?” CBS4’s Rick Sallinger asked.

 

“I was shocked,” McSwane said. “I’m sitting there looking at a poster that says ‘Integrity, Honor, Respect’ and he is telling me to lie.”

 

McSwane also pretended he had a drug problem when he spoke with the recruiter.

 

The Army does not accept enlistees with drug problems.

 

“I have a problem with drugs,” McSwane said, referring to the conversation he had with the recruiter. “I can’t kick the habit … just marijuana.”

 

”[The recruiter] said ‘Not a problem,’ just take this detox … he said he would pay half of it … told me where to go.”

 

Drug testers CBS4 contacted insist it doesn’t work, but the recruiter claimed in another recorded phone conversation that taking “detoxification capsules and liquid” would help McSwane pass the required test.

 

“The two times I had the guys use it, it has worked both times,” the recruiter said in the recorded conversation. “We didn’t have to worry about anything.”

 

Then the original recruiter was transferred and another recruiter, Sgt. Tim Pickel, picked up the ball.

 

A friend of McSwane shot videotape as Pickel drove McSwane to a store where he purchased the so-called detox kit.

 

CBS4 then went to the Army recruiting office and confronted Sgt. Pickel. CBS4 played him a conversation McSwane had with Pickel on the phone. The transcript of that conversation follows:

 

Pickel: When you said about the one problem that you had, what does it consist of?

McSwane: “Marijuana.”

Pickel: Oh, OK so nothing major?

McSwane: Yeah, he said he would take me down to get that stuff, I mean I have no idea what it is, so you would have to show me. Is that a problem?

Pickel: No, not at all.

 

Pickel quickly referred CBS4 to his superiors.

 

CBS4 then played the tapes and showed the video to Lt. Col. Jeffrey Brodeur, who heads army recruiting for the region.

 

“Let me sum up all of this with one word: unacceptable, completely unacceptable,” Brodeur said.

 

Hearing recruiters talking about phony diplomas and ways to beat drug tests left Brodeur more than a little disturbed.

 

“Let me tell you something sir, I’m a soldier and have been a soldier for 20 years,” Brodeur said. “This violates trust, it violates integrity, it violates honor and it violates duty.”

 

The army says it is conducting a full investigation. Brodeur said there is no pressure or punishment for recruiters if quotas are not met. They are, however, rewarded when their goals are surpassed.

The U.S. Army Recruiting Battalion Denver office released the following press release on April 29 in relation to this case:

 

Yesterday the Denver Army Recruiting Battalion took action against two Army recruiters for alleged impropriety. One recruiter is suspended from recruiting until completion of the investigation. The other recruiter, who was in transition to a new duty location, is being called back to the area for the investigation and is also not recruiting.

 

Lt. Col. Jeffrey Brodeur, Denver Army Recruiting Battalion commander, said: “We began conducting an investigation immediately upon finding out about the allegations made toward these recruiters and are required to complete the investigation within 30 days.

 

“Recruiter misconduct is not acceptable and it violates honor, duty and trust.

 

“The Army takes a very serious approach to proper enlistment procedure and integrity. All allegations are investigated. We do not tolerate unprofessional behavior and our stringent guidelines for policing the recruiting force is evidence of that commitment.”

Secret Service seeks race of media party guests

Friday, April 29, 2005 Posted: 5:02 PM EDT (2102 GMT)

 

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -- The U.S. Secret Service has asked for the race of guests attending a media reception with President Bush before the annual White House Correspondents' Association dinner Saturday.

 

Some senior correspondents who cover Bush regularly and have attended the reception in past years said Friday they had not been asked for race information previously and were shocked at the request.

US Secret Service seeks race of Bush party guests

The US Secret Service has asked for the race of guests attending a media reception with President George W Bush before the annual White House Correspondents Association dinner this weekend.

 

Some senior correspondents who have attended the reception in past years said they had not been asked for race information previously and were shocked at the request.

 

"[White House] reporters already have hard [permanent] passes, have gone through all the checks and are often in reach of the President," said Ed Chen of the Los Angeles Times and secretary of the association.

 

"I think it's unnecessary and offensive."

 

The Secret Service said it routinely asked for information about the race of people who are going to be in close proximity to the President.

 

"It's nothing to do with racial profiling - we wouldn't tolerate any racial or cultural bias in these types of matters," Secret Service spokesman Tom Mazur said.

 

But he said he did not know whether race information had been requested for this reception in previous years.

 

The Secret Service, responsible for protecting Mr Bush and his family, "routinely" asks for five "identifiers" of people who will be near the President to run through a criminal database, Mr Mazur said.

 

The five factors - name, date of birth, Social Security number, gender and race, are used to search the database "in a most timely and effective manner", he said.

 

"When the President travels or has events, this is information that is routinely requested," Mr Mazur said.

 

White House spokesman Scott McClelland said the White House had not requested the information on race and it was a law enforcement matter.

 

"Law enforcement officials, the Secret Service, can talk to you about that and tell you why they have done that for a long time for criminal background checks and so that they can get those checks done in a timely manner," he said.

1 1/2-year FBI coke sting catches 21 in uniform

 

Military, prison guards, cop, port official involved

By Michael Marizco

ARIZONA DAILY STAR

 

Sixteen people - members of the U.S. armed forces, prison guards, a federal port inspector and a Nogales, Ariz., police officer - were trapped in an FBI cocaine sting, with 11 pleading guilty to conspiracy charges in federal court Thursday.

 

Five more Davis-Monthan Air Force Base personnel were also charged in what officials called a widespread corruption scandal that will eventually lead to more arrests of U.S. military and law enforcement officers.

 

Justice Department officials said this type of corruption threatens the security of the U.S.-Mexican border.

 

"Now more than ever, it is critically important that those on the front lines of our nation's borders remain uncorrupted," acting Assistant U.S. Attorney General John Richter said.

 

Dubbed Operation Lively Green, the FBI sting started in December 2001 when sources notified the FBI that military personnel and law enforcement officers were running loads of cocaine in Arizona, said Jana Monroe, the special-agent-in-charge of the FBI's Phoenix field office.

 

Agents lured the military members and law enforcement officers with thousands of dollars in cash for running cocaine loads north from the border.

 

"They were working for the FBI. They didn't know they were working for the FBI," said Noel L. Hillman, section chief of the public integrity section of the criminal division of the Justice Department.

 

To protect the cocaine loads, the group would wear their uniforms and flash their badges at checkpoints in Arizona and Nevada, said Hillman.

 

In the same sting, three Davis-Monthan airmen and two sergeants were charged with conspiracy to smuggle cocaine and are awaiting charges in military court under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, said Lt. Beth Tucker, a spokeswoman for the Air Force.

 

The 16 people ran loads of cocaine from Nogales, Ariz., and Benson to Tucson and Phoenix with still more loads driven north to Las Vegas, Hillman said. During one shipment, the group used military Humvees to transport drugs, officials said.

 

Wearing their uniforms during a 2002 incident, the defendants unloaded an airplane carrying more than 120 pounds of cocaine at a clandestine airstrip in Benson and drove the drug load to a luxury Phoenix resort hotel. The plane was piloted by undercover FBI agents.

 

In another incident, a Customs and Border Protection port inspector waved two vehicles he believed were loaded with cocaine through the Mariposa Port of Entry in Nogales for a $19,000 payment.

 

That defendant, John M. Castillo, also sold six immigration documents used by people to cross the border to undercover FBI agents for another $12,000. Then he helped run a load of cocaine from Nogales to Tucson, according to the charges read in court Thursday by U.S. District Judge Charles R. Pyle.

 

The 16 people moved more than 1,200 pounds of cocaine worth a street value of $8.4 million, Hillman said.

 

At the time, the 16 people worked for the Arizona Army National Guard, the Arizona Department of Corrections, the Nogales Police Department, the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection, the U.S. Army, and the federal Bureau of Prisons, Hillman said.

 

They agreed to plead guilty to the conspiracy charge and to cooperate with the ongoing investigation. Hillman said a "significant number" of further arrests will occur, though he declined to say how many people and what agencies are involved.

 

Eleven of the 16 on Thursday stood before Judge Pyle, who released the defendants on their own recognizance.

 

The remaining five will make their initial appearances in court today and next week.

 

"These individuals have not been arrested; they're appearing voluntarily and they're cooperating with our investigation," Hillman said.

 

Federal prosecutors did not ask for their arrest.

 

Although more guilty pleas are expected, federal officials noted that the majority of police and military service personnel have not been corrupted.

 

"There are approximately 7,000 men and women in the Arizona National Guard. Today the FBI named seven …," said Major Eileen Bienz, spokeswoman for the Arizona Army National Guard.

 

Some questions about the investigation remain.

 

FBI spokesman Bryan Sierra said allegations of misconduct were filed against the FBI during the investigation.

 

He said the FBI would not comment on what the allegations were. Defense attorneys in Tucson said they were notified of the misconduct allegations but also declined comment.

 

Defense attorneys pointed at the poor economic status of the mostly black and Hispanic defendants.

 

"They're obviously involved in what the government caught them up in," said Hortencia Delgadillo, an attorney for David Bustamante, a 35-year-old defendant who worked as a prison guard.

 

But with the temptation for thousands of dollars, "they're obviously going to attract people who need it," she said.

Military, law enforcement to plead guilty to conspiracy charges

 

Traffickers moved $8.4 million worth of cocaine, authorities say

 

By Michael Marizco

ARIZONA DAILY STAR

 

Sixteen soldiers, police officer and federal prison guards will plead guilty to conspiracy charges in federal court today after a three year FBI sting, officials announced Thursday.

 

The 16 people used U.S. Army vehicles, police cars and their uniformed authority to move more than 1,200 pounds of cocaine worth $8.4 million, said Noel L. Hillman, section chief of the Public Integrity section of the Dept. of Justice.

 

The 16 comprise the Arizona Air National Guard, the Arizona Department of Corrections, the Nogales Police Department, the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection, the U.S. Army, and the federal Bureau of Prisons, Hillman said.

 

They have agreed to plead guilty to the conspiracy charge and a “significant number” of further arrests will occur, though Hillman declined to say how many and what agencies those people work for.

Phoenix police: Man buried victim in woman's grave

 

Emily Bittner

The Arizona Republic

May. 16, 2005 12:00 AM

 

When 17-year-old Robert K. Martin was buried last year, his confessed killer hid him under the cover of darkness in a grave freshly dug for - and occupied by - someone else.

 

When Martin's body was exhumed last week, it was again in the middle of the night. But this time, an expert from the Maricopa County Medical Examiner's Office, the cemetery directors and Phoenix homicide detectives were on hand to witness the recovery.

 

The discovery of Martin's murder and the retrieval of his body came after a yearlong investigation into his disappearance. Without his suspected killer's confession, though, a closed case would have been impossible. Investigators said they had never before seen anything like this case.

 

"Had this guy kept his mouth shut, we would've never, ever found out what happened to this victim," Phoenix police Detective Tony Morales said.

 

Richard Waive Palmer, 26, was arrested on a second-degree murder charge and is being held in a Maricopa County jail.

 

Martin first came to police attention when his parents reported him missing from their Chicago suburb.

 

The last time anyone had seen him was April 9, 2004. He left his hometown of Naperville, Ill., and flew into Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. He was supposed to visit his friend, Palmer, then 25 years old, said Detective Jan Butcher, who investigated the case.

 

At the time, Palmer gave detectives several accounts of Martin's disappearance. Detectives considered him a strong investigative lead from the beginning: There was obviously something wrong with his story, but authorities had no evidence of a crime.

 

Later they learned that Martin came to Phoenix with a large amount of cash strapped to his inner thighs. Martin was supposed to buy marijuana in Phoenix and take it to Chicago, where the drug's street value is much higher, Morales said.

 

In March, Martin's family hired a private investigator who met with Palmer. The investigator told Phoenix police that Palmer made several incriminating statements and detectives decided to interview him again.

 

In a two-hour interview Thursday, in which he cried but otherwise remained calm, Palmer admitted killing Martin, Butcher said.

 

He gave her the following account:

 

Martin landed in Phoenix and went to Palmer's house, in the 2300 block of West Hayward Avenue. Palmer wanted to get out of the drug trade. The men argued, things got out of control and Palmer hit Martin over the head with a baseball bat, killing him.

 

Palmer, who had once worked at a mortuary, owned a body bag similar to the ones used by medical examiners. He put Martin's body in the bag and kept it in the back of his enclosed truck for a few days.

 

Then he rented a storage facility at the Storage Max near 19th and Glendale avenues. He kept the body there for a few weeks. Late one night in May 2004, Palmer decided to move the body.

 

He took it to the Resthaven Park Cemetery, 6290 W. Northern Ave.

 

He walked around until he found a freshly dug grave. A woman had recently been buried there, and the dirt was loose and easy to dig.

 

Palmer shoveled about 4 feet into the ground, near the top of the woman's coffin, and put Martin's body in the hole.

 

The disturbance went unnoticed.

 

Last week, after Palmer told detectives his story, they drove to the cemetery. He told them the approximate area where he had buried Martin. The mortuary gave detectives information on women who were buried in the area in the time frame.

 

"With that information, they were able to narrow it down pretty good," Morales said.

 

Investigators brought a cadaver dog, and the dog grew agitated at one of the graves.

 

Detectives were granted a search warrant, and later dug up a decomposed body. Authorities still need to compare the body's dental records with Martin's to get a match.

 

Police said Palmer never gave them a reason for admitting to the killing. Butcher said she established a good rapport with Palmer during the interview and that might have contributed to his willingness to take blame. "Maybe he was feeling guilty," she said. "I really don't know."

 

Palmer did not respond to a jailhouse interview request by The Arizona Republic.

Suit latest in Mesa towing dispute

City's Cactus contract challenged

 

Senta Scarborough and Justin Juozapavicius

The Arizona Republic

May. 16, 2005 12:00 AM

 

A lawsuit filed Friday claiming Mesa conspired to ensure that a towing company won a lucrative contract bid isn't the first time the city has been challenged over its relationship with Cactus Towing.

 

Records and interviews show at least two police sergeants wrote to city officials claiming Cactus willfully violated the contract and padded bills. But the city didn't pull the contract and instead continued to award exclusive contracts to Cactus, which also is the target of a white-collar fraud investigation by the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office.

 

"I felt like I was spinning my wheels," said retired Mesa police Lt. Trish Bradley from her home in Washington state.

 

Bradley said she thought the contract with Cactus should have been terminated because of what she said were repeated contract violations and unethical business practices.

 

"How many complaints do you have to get before you say enough?" she said.

 

An attorney for Cactus criticized the lawsuit, filed by Tow Boyz against Cactus and Mesa city officials.

 

"This only shows Cactus the degrees (that) competitors will go to defeat Cactus Towing in the bidding process," Kent Nicholas said. "There may be some frustration by competitors . . . but to this date, the Attorney General's Office has found no wrongdoing whatsoever."

 

The suit names Mayor Keno Hawker, Vice Mayor Claudia Walters and City Manager Mike Hutchinson, among others, as defendants. It also says Diversified Towing Inc., known as Cactus Towing, used its influence to have the first round of bids thrown out in order to keep a towing service contract it had held for 10 years.

 

Bradley, who retired in 2001, was one of two sergeants who have come forward since 1997 with complaints about how Cactus Towing did business, police records show. Bradley, who handled the Cactus account for the Police Department for at least three years, said she doesn't remember a week going by without a complaint.

 

Mesa twice awarded contracts and renewed its options several times for its emergency and non-emergency towing services with Cactus, records show.

 

Dozens of complaints

 

Since 1993, Cactus received dozens of complaints from insurance companies and citizens, records and interviews show. Many involved theft from vehicles, overcharging and stonewalling the release of vehicles to owners and insurance companies to drive up charges, according to records.

 

Police also have been called to the Cactus lot in west Mesa hundreds of times since 1993 to deal with civil and criminal matters, many involving complaints, according to police records.

 

Nicholas said "frequent communication" between the Police Department and Cactus was not uncommon. He said some calls dealt with criminal investigations, such as officers being called to the tow lot to remove drugs found in vehicles.

 

City Manager Hutchinson said Mesa addressed complaints as they were made and "felt comfortable" extending the contract with Cactus because it was providing "adequate service."

 

Cactus, one of the state's largest towing firms, holds exclusive contracts with Mesa, Chandler and the Arizona Department of Public Safety's East Valley U.S. 60 operation.

 

In March, Maricopa County Sheriff's Office investigators seized 200 boxes of documents and nearly $200,000 in cash, receipts and bank statements from Cactus offices and the homes of owner Lee Watkins and general manager Todd DeMasseo. The Sheriff's Office investigation affects thousands of Valley motorists who have had their cars towed by Cactus. DeMasseo and Watkins have denied accusations of criminal wrongdoing and no arrests have been made.

 

Nicholas defended the company's "superior track record," saying, "If Cactus was that big of a controversy, why did (the city) keep renewing the contract?"

 

Nicholas also referred to a letter Cactus received from Geico Insurance in 2004 commending the company on its "A-1 service."

 

Watkins declined a request by The Republic made through Nicholas to address complaints Cactus received in the past 10 years. State Farm Insurance made at least a dozen complaints ranging from excessive charges to poor customer service and holding vehicles to increase charges, records show. LuWanna Nielsen, State Farm spokeswoman, said the city and Cactus never resolved the issues.

 

"These practices impact the price of insurance for all insurers," Nielsen said.

 

In a letter sent Tuesday to The Republic, M. Paul Fischer, another attorney for Watkins, wrote that "no written complaints from State Farm has ever been forwarded to Cactus Towing." However, records show Watkins signed off on a memo dealing with a State Farm complaint letter March 4, 1999.

 

Complaints about Cactus also reached the desk of Sharon Seekins, Mesa's materials management director who retired in November after more than 30 years with the city.

 

Seekins said it was her "job to enforce the (towing) contract and nothing but the towing contract."

 

Raising the question

 

On May 7, 1997, Bradley sent a memo to Seekins listing complaints against Cactus, several of which she believed were in violation of the towing contract. One violation, Bradley wrote, was Cactus failing to file monthly reports to the Police Department detailing the status of abandoned vehicles. Cactus had been in violation of the contract for six months before it produced a report, Bradley wrote.

 

"That is huge," Bradley told The Republic on Wednesday. "They could be doing who knows what with those cars."

 

Seekins acknowledged to Bradley that the infraction violated the contract but questioned if it could be terminated because Cactus was not notified "in a timely manner" of the violation and given a deadline to correct it.

 

"I couldn't terminate the contract," Bradley told The Republic. "I would have, but I didn't have the authority."

 

In fact, numerous problems, including complaints about Cactus padding bills and willfully violating a city contract, prompted Mesa's former police legal adviser to raise the question of terminating the city's contract with Cactus, a 1997 memo shows.

 

At the time the memo from police adviser Richard Kasper to former city attorney Neal Beets was sent, Cactus was in the middle of a five-year contract with the city that ended in February 2000.

 

Kasper referred to statements from Bradley, who was "deeply concerned" that the public image of the Police Department was suffering because citizens and businesses believed it approved of how Cactus Towing dealt with the public, the letter states.

 

Nicholas said the 1997 issue was resolved because "the complaints alleged were not verified."

 

A few years later, Sgt. Frank Hoglund, who oversaw the Cactus account for the Police Department from 2000-01, also brought complaints to Seekins detailing what he called unethical business practices and contract violations involving re-hook and other fees, police and city records show.

 

"I don't believe this is an ethical way to do business, but I wanted to make you aware of the situation before leaving my position," Hoglund wrote to Seekins on June 4, 2001, before a scheduled job transfer.

 

"I just stated the facts of what I saw," Hoglund told The Republic. "Because of my upbringing and morals, I brought it to someone's attention."

 

Seekins replied in an e-mail to him that she thought it would be premature to terminate the contract unless the Arizona Attorney General's Office thought there was a fraud case, though the contract allows the city to end the contract on ethical grounds.

 

She added in the e-mail to Hoglund that accusations of unfair fees to re-tow a car to another location had been raised "many times."

 

Less than a year later, in 2002, Seekins recommended extending Cactus' contract.

New X-ray device shows what's under your clothes

 

USA Today

May. 16, 2005 12:00 AM

 

The agency in charge of the nation's air security this year expects to begin using an X-ray machine that will show airport screeners a clear picture of what's under passengers' clothes, whether it's weapons or just bare skin.

 

Screeners plan to test the "backscatter" machines at several U.S. airports, the Transportation Security Administration says. The refrigerator-size machines are considered a breakthrough in scanning technology but have been labeled "a virtual strip search" by the American Civil Liberties Union.

 

Security workers using the machines can see through clothes and peer at whatever may be hidden in undergarments, shirts or pants. The images also paint a revealing picture of a person's nude body.

 

The devices can potentially be used to screen millions of air travelers each year, although the agency says more study is needed to determine how the devices may be used at U.S. airports. It declined to say when and where it expects to test the machines.

 

The machines are used by U.S. Customs agents at 12 airports to screen passengers suspected of carrying drugs.

 

They're also getting a test run at a terminal at London's Heathrow Airport.

L.A. jails envision radio wristbands

Authorities in Los Angeles said yesterday they will begin tracking inmates in the nation's largest jail system using new radio-linked wristbands to pinpoint their location within a few feet.

 

Los Angeles County plans to spend $1.5 million to tag about 1,900 inmates in one unit of the Pitchess Detention Center in Castaic, about 40 miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles, beginning early next year.

 

If it works well, the program may be expanded to the 6,000 inmates at the county's central jail and then to other facilities, said Marc Klugman, chief of the sheriff's department's Correctional Services Division.

 

Removing or breaking the bracelet sets off a computer alarm, alerting guards to a possible prison escape. Beyond tracking inmates around cell blocks, the technology has the potential to allow work-release crews to roam within an electronic fence that could be easily moved wherever it is needed, said Harinder Singh, executive officer of the California Department of Corrections' technology transfer committee.

L.A. Jails to Use Tags to Track Inmates

 

By DON THOMPSON

The Associated Press

Sunday, May 15, 2005; 9:38 PM

 

SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Authorities in Los Angeles said Sunday they will begin tracking inmates in the nation's largest jail system using new radio-linked wristbands to pinpoint their location within a few feet.

 

Los Angeles County plans to spend $1.5 million to tag about 1,900 inmates in one unit of the Pitchess Detention Center in Castaic, about 40 miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles, beginning early next year.

 

If it works well, the program may be expanded to the 6,000 inmates at the county's central jail and then to other facilities, said Marc Klugman, chief of the sheriff's department's Correctional Services Division.

 

The tracking device is an updated version of wristbands that have been tested since 2000 at California's Calipatria State Prison near the Mexican border _ the first in the nation to track its inmates electronically.

 

The concept has since been exported to other states.

 

Michigan's Bureau of Juvenile Justice has had a $1 million tracking system at a maximum-security prison since 2003 and is installing it at a second detention facility. The technology also is being used at a minimum-security prison in Chillicothe, Ohio, and at a medium-security correctional center near Springfield, Ill.

 

Removing or breaking the bracelet sets off a computer alarm, alerting guards to a possible prison escape. Beyond tracking inmates around cell blocks, the technology has the potential to allow work-release crews to roam within an electronic fence that could be easily moved wherever it is needed, said Harinder Singh, executive officer of the California Department of Corrections' technology transfer committee.

 

Los Angeles County jails' revolving-door population poses the toughest test yet for the technology. The facilities house about 18,000 inmates on a given day, but nearly 200,000 people pass through the system each year, some for a few hours, others for months. Several thousand inmates must be moved to and from court appearances each day.

 

Last year alone there were an estimated 1,330 violent incidents that injured 88 jail employees and 1,742 inmates in Los Angeles County. Five prisoners were killed.

Cardinal says sainthood for late pope to take time

Process will be exacting despite the fast track

 

Daniela Petroff

Associated Press

May. 15, 2005 12:00 AM

 

ROME - The process of canonizing Pope John Paul II will likely take time, the cardinal in charge of the Vatican's saint-making office said Saturday, a day after Pope Benedict XVI called for fast-track sainthood for the late pontiff.

 

Benedict on Friday announced that he was lifting the mandatory five-year waiting period for the start of the process toward beatification, the last formal step before possible canonization.

 

Right after Pope John Paul's death April 2, his admirers, ranging from rank-and-file faithful to top cardinals, began calling for rapid sainthood for the pontiff, who led the Roman Catholic church for 26 years.

 

"It's a wonderful gesture," Cardinal Jose Saraiva Martins, who heads the Vatican's Congregation for the Causes of Saints, told La Stampa in an interview published Saturday.

 

But waiving the waiting time does not imply dispensing with rigorous procedures, the cardinal noted. Those steps include reviewing writings of the late pope and interviewing those who knew him.

 

Then, for beatification, a miracle, attributed to Pope John Paul's intercession after his death, must then be declared authentic after a Vatican-appointed panel of medical experts rule out any worldly explanation.

 

A second miracle, attributed to Pope John Paul's intercession after his beatification, would then be required to qualify for canonization, or conferring of sainthood.

 

"Each cause has a history of its own," the cardinal said, declining to say how long it would take.

 

When Pope John Paul waived the waiting time for Mother Teresa, who died in 1997 after a lifetime of caring for the downtrodden, her cause moved swiftly, and she was beatified by the pontiff in 2003.

 

Asked if sainthood process is more complex for popes, the cardinal replied: "Generally yes, given the activity of the pope and the body of his written work."

 

"But," then, "virtually all of his (Pope John Paul's) works are known."

 

Meanwhile, Saraiva Martins said Saturday that Pope Benedict might be able to beatify Pope John Paul II in a ceremony in Poland.

 

"It all depends on the Holy Father," Saraiva Martins told Italian state TV.

 

But starting with a ceremony in St. Peter's Basilica on Saturday in which two nuns were beatified, Benedict has made clear he intends to go back to previous papal traditions of asking cardinals or bishops to lead such ceremonies.

 

Pope John Paul led beatifications himself. But previous popes had delegated that duty, making exceptions for extraordinary figures, and Saraiva Martin's remarks appeared to indicate Benedict could make such an exception in his predecessor's case.

 

Popes must lead canonization, or sainthood, ceremonies.

 

Saraiva Martins added that he had "no doubts at all" miracles would be approved.

 

Pope Benedict's announcement during a meeting at the Basilica of St. John Lateran with the Roman clergy drew a standing ovation. The pontiff himself stood up in tribute to his predecessor.

 

Many noted that Friday was the anniversary of the May 13, 1981, assassination attempt on Pope John Paul in St. Peter's Square at the hands of a Turkish gunman.

 

"I feel a strong sentiment of gratefulness toward the pope," Pope John Paul's longtime private secretary, Archbishop Stanislaw Dziwisz, told La Stampa. "It was a great joy" to hear the waiver news.

 

Monsignor Gianfranco Bella, the official responsible for starting Pope John Paul's beatification cause, said Friday that the gathering documents and contacting witnesses had not yet begun but he hoped to start it "as soon as possible."

Pakistani activist detained

About 30 held; defied ban on women running

LAHORE, Pakistan - More than two dozen people were detained Saturday after taking part in a foot race that included women, defying a ban put in place after Islamic hard-liners attacked participants in a similar event.

 

Asma Jehangir, former chief of Pakistan's Human Rights Commission, and about 30 other participants were detained at Saturday's race, police official Waqar Abbasi said. The event was canceled.

 

Authorities banned women from competing in foot races after Islamic hard-liners, who regard women's participation in sports as against Islam, attacked runners at a similar event last month.

 

Abbasi said police and other government officials had asked race organizers to obey the ban, but they refused.

 

However, one of the organizers, Nabeel Ahmed, said the arrests were "unjustified" and that participants had not committed a crime. She said the runners were beaten and then bundled into police vehicles.

 

Khawar Mumtaz, a human rights activist, said police dragged away Jehangir and dozens of other people. "Police treated participants of the race like criminals," she said, adding "some women were also severely beaten."

 

Danyal Ali Hassan, a researcher with Human Right Watch, said he was beaten by police before being detained.

how dare you call my news "alturnative" :)

 

almost all my news comes from main stream sources such as the arizona republic, the mesa tribune, the new york times, the chicago tribune, the los angeles times, usa today, the arizona star, las vegas review journal, or the new times. hell the new times may have been an alturnative newspaper 20 years ago but it is mainstream today. the only alturnative stuff i have used is a few snips from the indymedia news.

 

the only difference between my news and the main stream news is the comments i make where i call the people in the news "jack booted police thugs", or the president the "american emperor", or the tempe city council "royal government rulers and theives". but anybody should be able to read the articles and from the context of them see that my definations are correct and that the mainsteam media writers are just being polite by calling them "police officers" instead of "jack booted government thugs"

Why Koran is such a hot button

 

Ben Arnoldy and Owais Tohid

Christian Science Monitor

May. 16, 2005 04:30 PM

 

ISLAMABAD, PAKISTAN - When Ashiq Nabi got into an argument with his wife, she held up a Koran to protect herself, setting into motion a deadly series of events. Mr. Nabi then pushed his wife, say human rights activists, sending Islam's holy book onto the floor and prompting the local mullah in Spin Kakh, Pakistan, to file blasphemy charges.

 

Before the police could act, Nabi was spotted in town and the mullah allegedly spread the word over the mosque's loudspeakers. A mob of more than 400 villagers chased Nabi until he climbed up a tree, then shot him dead.

 

The April incident is only the latest in a string of extrajudicial killings by vigilantes for blasphemy, which is punishable by death under Pakistani law.

 

And it helps explain the depth of feeling over the disputed charges that US interrogators flushed a Koran down a toilet in Guantanamo Bay - charges that have sent shock waves throughout the Muslim world.

 

In Afghanistan, the allegation that appeared in Newsweek magazine triggered several days of anti-American rioting that left 15 dead and scores injured. Protests were also held in Pakistan, Indonesia, and other Muslim countries.

 

The magazine has subsequently expressed regret over the report after the source, an unnamed senior US government official, expressed uncertainty over the sources of his own information. The Pentagon, which said the original story is "demonstrably false," pledged to investigate the charges and blamed Newsweek's "irresponsible" reporting for the violent clashes.

 

But while moderate Muslims welcomed the Newsweek follow-up in this week's issue, experts in Pakistan say that the more-extreme passions unleashed across the Muslim world are unlikely to be cooled by the doubts over the story, or by US government assurances that no desecration of the Koran would go unpunished.

 

The Koran has a special status in Islam that sets it apart from the way many Christians view the Bible, for instance. While Christianity's holy book is held to be divinely inspired and to have been set down by holy men, the words themselves are not considered a direct work of God.

 

But most Muslims believe that the Koran was transmitted to Muhammad from Allah by the angel Gabriel nearly 1,400 years ago and written down precisely as Allah intended.

 

In practice, this is one of the reasons observant Muslims are urged to learn Arabic, since a translation is deemed no longer the precise word of God. Strict Muslims are expected to clean themselves ritually before touching the Koran. They don't allow the book to be set on the floor and, in some cases, hold that nonbelievers should not touch the book.

 

Here in Pakistan, extremists have harnessed the emotions surrounding this and other "blasphemy" cases to challenge the US-backed government in Islamabad.

 

"Whether it is the existence of blasphemy laws in Pakistan, or desecration of the Holy Koran at Guantanamo Bay, it benefits the extremists," says Tauseef Ahmed, an analyst in Karachi. "No doubt it is a sensitive issue for all Muslims, but extremists try to gain political mileage and fan hatred in society. It all gives new life to extremists and pushes the liberal and progressive forces into isolation."

 

The controversy comes as the country heads into local elections in July. With the two mainstream political parties sidelined by the government, an alliance of religious parties known as the Mutahidda Majlise Amal (MMA) has gained momentum by pushing religious hot buttons. The group has supported extremists who have disrupted mixed-gender marathons in Gujarnwala and last weekend in Lahore. At protests this spring, MMA leaders attacked President Pervez Musharraf's policy of "enlightened moderation" as a move away from Islam and toward the US.

 

Now, the group is leveling similar charges following the Guantanamo controversy and a recent Washington Times cartoon that depicted Pakistan as a dog and the US as its master. Previous news articles have included accounts of US interrogators desecrating the Koran at Guantanamo.

 

"By insulting the Koran, they have challenged our beliefs," said Hafiz Hussain Ahmed, a top official of the religious alliance, at a rally in Islamabad. "It has happened due to the liberal and progressive policies of Western-influenced Muslim rulers."

 

Sunday, a group of Afghan clerics vowed to call for a holy war against the US in three days unless it handed over the military interrogators reported to have desecrated the Koran. The same day, MMA president Qazi Hussain Ahmed announced plans for a global protest on May 27 involving 25 leading Islamic organizations including Hamas, Hizbullah, PAS of Malaysia, and the Muslim Brotherhood of Egypt.

 

As part of its "enlightened moderation" policy, Pakistan has tried to amend or abolish a number of religious ordinances, including the blasphemy laws. But Islamabad has backed down after opposition from religious parties.

 

More than 4,000 blasphemy cases have been registered since the laws were enacted in 1986, according to human rights activists. While no one has ever been officially executed for blasphemy, dozens have been killed by vigilantes.

 

"That should be prosecuted vehemently. Only the government can take a person's life," says Ghafoor Ahmed, the deputy chief of Jamaat-i Islami, a major component of the MMA. Still, the blasphemy laws are necessary, he says. "No one who believes in God or in the prophets of God can allow them to be insulted."

 

Campaigners against blasphemy laws in Pakistan say there are inadequate protections for the accused, who under current law must be arrested before any investigation begins. Often lower court judges are intimidated into passing a guilty verdict. If challenged, it takes years for the upper courts to review to verdict. In the meantime, blasphemy prisoners are vulnerable to violence. Those who are eventually acquitted sometimes must flee the country.

 

Blasphemy cases rarely involve malice against Islam. Rather, the charges are often pretexts rising out of petty issues ranging from cattle theft to land disputes. They are also used as a weapon against religious minorities, says Shabaz Bhatti, head of the All Pakistan Minority Alliance.

 

Last November, a Christian girl in the small town of Wah Cantt was accused of blasphemy after someone spotted pages of the Koran in a trash bin outside the house where she was cleaning.

 

Before the police could investigate, extremists attacked the house and threatened to kill her. Muslim and Christian elders intervened and handed the girl to the police in a bid to save her life, locals say. She was released, but the death threats continued, forcing her and her family to leave.

 

"We still feel that we are living under danger, under a shadow of a fake accusation," says a relative of the girl. "We have lived with our Muslim brothers for decades. They respect our beliefs and we respect their beliefs, except there are some extremists who want to ignite feelings on the basis of baseless allegations."

Phone call, reports of threat forced lockdown at 2 schools

 

Holly Johnson, Anne Ryman and Maggie Galehouse

The Arizona Republic

May. 16, 2005 05:10 PM

 

A phone call from a concerned parent, coupled with teenagers' reports that Scottsdale high school students and administrators were targets of unspecified threats, led police to lock down two Scottsdale schools Monday.

 

The lockdowns at Desert Mountain High School and Mountainside Middle School began about 11 a.m. and lasted for nearly four hours.

 

Some students were released to their parents by Scottsdale police escorts after school let out.

 

Neighboring Anasazi Elementary School was not affected.

 

School resource officer Rob Katzaroff received word of the threat, which may have involved a student bringing a gun to school, early Monday and alerted the police SWAT team.

 

Officers used bomb-sniffing dogs to search the schools, but no explosives were found, according to Scottsdale police Detective Ron Bayne.

 

Police had “identified at least one student” somehow tied to the threats by 2 p.m., and an hour later were still questioning a few more students suspected of being involved.

 

No students were arrested, and further details of the alleged threats were not available Monday.

 

“They are trying to determine whether there is any basis to this initial threat,” said Maureen O'Leary, a spokeswoman for the Scottsdale Unified School District.

 

The parking lot surrounding Desert Mountain was blocked by patrol cars for much of the day Monday as parents, hungry for more information, swarmed the area near 124th Street and Via Linda.

 

Parent Nancy Wigton of Scottsdale, whose 17-year-old son is a junior at Desert Mountain, said she was frustrated because she couldn't get information from the school district during the lockdown. Wigton called her son on his cellphone to figure out what was going on, she said.

 

She called the school and got either ringing or the school's regular voice mail message.

 

“There is no information,” she said. “And what about the parents whose kids don't have a cellphone?”

 

Wigton said the school should re-evaluate their lock-down plan, especially since her son and others weren't able to have any lunch.

 

“He's absolutely starving,” she said.

 

One senior said police pulled him from his classroom for questioning.

 

“They searched my pockets with a gun pointed at my chest,” said Darryl DuPont, 18 , who said he shaved his head two weeks ago after a botched haircut.

 

“I was uncomfortable because they wouldn't tell me what was going on. Then they asked me if I had scars or tattoos that had any affiliation with Nazis or neo-Nazis.”

 

DuPont said police also searched his car and a locker that he has not used in three years.

 

“My grades are fine,” he said. “I'm going to ASU next year. I've never even had a speeding ticket.”

 

Other students inside the school said they were not told why they had to remain in their classrooms until they were released at 2:55 p.m.

 

“I saw policemen and uniforms that said the word SWAT, and people in camouflage,” said senior Dan Braunel, 18, who called The Arizona Republic from his cellphone around 2:15 p.m.

 

Both Braunel and DuPont were in a computer class with 18 other students.

 

They said some of the male students were urinating in the classroom because they were not allowed to leave the room to use the toilet.

 

Police insist lockdowns are “part of the protocol” school resource officers follow when reacting to such threats.

Kyrsten Sinema a gay atheist (ex-Mormon) who got elected to the Arizona House Representative for District 15 which is central Phoenix spoke at the American Atheist Meeting on May 15 at the Phoenix Library. I think Laro knows her, and I think Kevin knows who she is.

 

It was almost scary when Kyrsten told us that a many of the House and Senate members don’t seem to understand a thing about the concept of separation of church and state and in fact want to pass laws having the government force religion on us. She said that a large number of the bills have religious stuff in them. She said some of them think it is their duty to mix religion and government. She seemed rather annoyed that she had to deal with religion on an almost daily basis. She said maybe two thirds of the legislators have bibles at their desks and think in terms of god and government. Kyrsten also bitched about the daily prayer they say every day at the start of the house. She said unfortunately the Supreme Court has ruled it constitutional about 10 years ago. Each day a different House member gets to run the prayer session. When it was her turn she brought in a Muslim guy to say her prayer. She said that pissed him off and they seemed to think he as a terrorist and wanted his SS number, birth date and green card. But she refused to give them the info because none of the other preachers are required to give that info.

 

Kyrsten also said that the Christian crackpots are always lobbying them to pass one religious thing or another into a law. She mentioned The Center for Arizona Policy which is run by Christian crackpot Len Munsil as doing lots of stuff trying to make the state mix religion with government.

 

She said that there was one other openly atheist member in the House. I think she said it was Linda Lopez a Democrat in District 29 in Tucson. She said there was maybe 5 to 10 other legislators who were probably atheists from but refused to comment on it because they feared it would keep them from getting elected.

 

She didn’t paint a bright picture for the quality of intelligence of the people in the legislator. She said there are maybe 10 extremist Republicans on one side and maybe 5 extremist Democrat’s like her. And that all the other people there seem to be like mushrooms and go to the side that talks loudest. And she said in the current case the religious republican crack pots talk louder then her group and the mushrooms tend to side with them.

 

As far as lobbying or writing the legislator she said it only works when the House or Senate member doesn’t have strong feelings about the issue, or the member doesn’t know much about the issue. What she said about this was pretty much identical to what Steve May a gay Mormon member of the Arizona House who spoke at an American Atheist meeting a couple of years ago.

 

When it comes to taxes Kyrsten is definitely not Libertarian and I don’t think she ever met a tax she didn’t like. She was unhappy that the state actually rolled back some taxes. She is a big supporter of the government run public school system too. One of her bitches about vouchers is that the money usually goes to religious schools. I agree with her on that, but I would rather get rid of the public school system, while she would like to give the money to the public schools.

 

As far as letting the Mexicans come into this country she seemed to be all in favor of it although she didn’t get into the details about it.

 

She does some good Libertarian stuff. She mentioned that as a lawyer she is helping the Institute of Justice fight forfeiture cases where the government seizes people homes or property when they can’t convict them of a crime.

 

She also supports the right of gay people to live what ever life style they want to live with out the government interfering with them.

Open Letter To President Bush on the Signing of the REAL ID Act

 

13 May, 2005

 

His Majesty George W. Bush

The White House

Washington, DC

 

Comrade Bushnev,

 

Congratulations on signing the National ID into law. Now that all Americans are going to be tracked from birth to death in one huge database, I'm sure you'll be able to prevent anyone from doing anything you or your handlers don't like. Liberty was so messy!

 

When the Twin Towers were destroyed in 2001, you said it was because they hate our freedoms. Problem solved. We no longer _have_ any freedoms. Bravo!

 

You've done a wonderful job of spreading fear, darkness, and hate around our once great land. It was a brilliant idea to use the forms and rhetoric of the Prince of Peace to carry out the will of the Lord of Darkness. I'm sure He's reserved a place of honor for you in the Underworld. Well done!

 

I hope that you will personally take part in the cavity searches you plan to implement at state border crossings. That will help your subjects to understand how much you care for them. The personal touch is very important.

 

Are you sure the American people are sufficiently worried about terr'ism? Maybe another Reichstag fire is in order. You can't be too careful about these things. Maybe it should be a nukuler disaster this time. I'm sure you and Dick will think of something good.

 

All hail the Amerikan Empire!

 

Heil Bushnev!

 

Your regicidal slave,

 

Bill St. Clair

 

P.S. Ask Dick to explain "satire".
