Who's That Hiding In My Fox 5 News Logo? Fox 5 News WNYW (New York) has subliminally inserted images of John McCain and his wife, Cindy, into their opening animation.
A once ailing private-prison sector is now a revenue maker "The private prison industry was on the verge of bankruptcy in the late 1990s, until the feds bailed them out with the immigration-detention contracts," said Michele Deitch, an expert on prison privatization with the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas in Austin. As increasingly tough immigration laws have called for the detention and deportation of ever more immigrants [and soon-to-be bird flu vaccine refuseniks], the demand for bed space by immigration authorities has helped turn what was once a dying business into a multibillion-dollar industry with record revenue and stock prices several times higher than they were eight years ago. In San Diego, CCA [Corrections Corporation of America] is in the permitting process to build a nearly 3,000-bed facility that the company hopes will be used by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE. It would hold more than four times the detainees held in San Diego now.
US lawyer barred for Guantanamo bias A military judge has disqualified the Pentagon's top legal adviser in the Office of Military Commissions from participating in the prosecution of a prisoner at Guantanamo Bay because he exerted improper influence over a team of prosecutors and may have compromised the case's fairness. Naval Captain Keith Allred, who is presiding over hearings in preparation for the military's trial of an alleged driver for Osama bin Laden, determined that Air Force Brigadier General Thomas Hartmann was too closely tied to prosecutors.
Federal rules give corporation-backed conservative radio all the local voices There's a mournful hush in Sacramento these days, the empty sound of an entire political viewpoint quieted. More than 32,000 weekly listeners who once tuned to KSAC (1240 AM) to hear partisan Democrats beat up on President [sic] George W. Bush, now hear only Christian hip-hop. There's nothing wrong with Christian hip-hop... But there are six other commercial radio stations licensed in the Sacramento area programming the Christian message. In the political realm, three local radio stations program 264 hours of partisan Republican radio talkers beating up on Democrats every week. Now, zero stations program any Democratic view whatsoever: 264-0.
