From the article: ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — A trucker has sued the Drug Enforcement Administration, seeking to get back nearly $24,000 seized by DEA agents earlier this month at a weigh station on U.S. 54 in New Mexico north of El Paso, Texas.

Anastasio Prieto of El Paso gave a state police officer at the weigh station permission to search the truck to see if it contained “needles or cash in excess of $10,000,” according to the American Civil Liberties Union, which filed the federal lawsuit Thursday.

Prieto told the officer he didn’t have any needles but did have $23,700.

Officers took the money and turned it over to the DEA. DEA agents photographed and fingerprinted Prieto over his objections, then released him without charging him with anything.

Border Patrol agents searched his truck with drug-sniffing dogs, but found no evidence of illegal substances, the ACLU said. Read more

Everyone has heard by now that of some of the $30 billion dollars that went to Iraq as cash, almost $9 billion of that is missing. Now, it appears that weapons and munitions are being sold by American contractors (with no apparent care as to whom their customers are), and whistleblowers who report these efforts are Read more

The Bush administration argued in court papers this week that the White House Office of Administration is not subject to the Freedom of Information Act as part of its effort to fend off a civil lawsuit seeking the release of internal documents about a large number of e-mails missing from White House servers.

Quoted from the New York Times:
The Bush administration violated federal law by missing deadlines to produce a study on the impact of global warming, now as much as two years overdue, and must issue a summary by March, a federal judge ruled. Judge Saundra B. Armstrong of Federal District Court in Oakland, Calif., said the United States government “unlawfully withheld action” Read more

Granted, he made those comments in 1994, but he still made them.

It should be obvious to most people by now, but the “War On Drugs” is essentially un-winnable.  The “War On Terror” is essentially un-winnable as well, but it actually seems now, though, as though the Drug War is actually interfering with the Terror War.  The obvious example is in Afhganistan, where Read more

In what can only be described as Orwellian, the government is planning to start using military spy satellites against US citizens.  They’ve even created an office, the “National Application Office”, which will determine who gets access to the data. Read more

The Australian government is on a crusade to make the internet “safer” for children and families by blocking access to internet pornography, and shutting down terror sites. While the goal of “making the internet safer” always seems laudable, it never actually works, either by not filtering enough, or by filtering too much (eg, legitimate breast cancer information sites). What is most disturbing, about this, however, is not that the Aussie government will try to filter the internet, but
