           CIA 'kept' tapes from 9/11 probe

The tapes are said to show

A leaked memorandum from the former 9/11 commission says it made repeated requests to the CIA for information on the interrogation of al-Qaeda suspects.

But ex-commission executive director Philip Zelikow says the CIA did not hand over tapes that have since come to light, the New York Times reported.

The CIA later erased the footage, which allegedly contains images of abuse.

Former FBI director J Edgar Hoover had a plan to arrest 12,000 Americans he deemed a possible threat to national security, declassified papers reveal.

The FBI chief sent his proposal to US President Harry Truman just after the start of the Korean War in 1950, The New York Times newspaper reports.

He asked the president to declare the mass arrest necessary to counter "treason, espionage and sabotage".

 
BP $50m blast fine 'not enough'

BP says that it has apologised
and is paying a record fine
A $50m (£25m) fine being proposed as punishment for an explosion at a BP plant in Texas is too low, lawyers for the victims' families have said.

Such an amount would be "part of the ordinary cost of doing business" and not punitive enough, they argued.

The Texas City refinery blast killed 15 people and

injured 180 others in 2003.

New Document Reveals Military Mystery's Powers

Allen01For years, no military program has sparked more fevered speculation from conspiracy theorists than  the mysterious High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program, or HAARP.  And for years, the Pentagon has been pooh-poohing speculation that the enormous collection of transmitters, radars, and magnetometers in Alaska was some sort of superweapon. 

But, it turns out, the conspiracy theorists may not have been entirely off-base, after all. 

Since its inception, there's been a huge range of opinion on what HAARP actually does: everything from a giant mind control facility to a space nuke countermeasure to a weather controller to an  ionosphere-boiling mad science experiment to the mother of all pork projects has been suggested. But now that the program is actually up an running, military managers say the electronics array has much more benign use.  "HAARP's main job is to produce radio waves to probe the ionosphere," an Air Force Research Laboratory officer said in October.

Canadian pig farm killer jailed

Pickton's trial began
 in January
Pig farmer Robert Pickton, feared to be one of Canada's most prolific killers, has been sentenced to life in prison for the murder of six women.

A separate trial for the murder of another 20 women has still to be scheduled, while police believe he may have caused almost 50 deaths in all. The court in Vancouver said he would be eligible for parole after 25 years. Officers

found dismembered remains and personal belongings when they raided his farm near Vancouver five years ago.

Justices: Judges can slash crack sentences

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Monday that federal judges have the discretion to give "reasonably" shorter prison terms for crack-cocaine crimes to reduce the disparity with crimes involving cocaine powder.

Lawyers argue that crack-cocaine offenders were unfairly targeted.

The car used in the attack was blown to pieces
A suicide bomber has blown himself up close to a truck taking children to school in north-west Pakistan, wounding at least five children, the army says.

The attack took place near the Kamra military base north-west of Islamabad.

The driver and a guard on the military truck, which was carrying more than 30 school children, were also injured.

The attack comes a day after a suicide bomber killed at least six people, two of them children, at a checkpoint in Swat in North West Frontier Province.

ANOTHER CIA COVER UP UNCOVERED "GANDALF"

  The CIA has proved, once again, that the cover up is worse than the crime. Or at least let's hope that's the case.
 
Be sure and see other related stories in my Blog Under Category: ORGANIZATIONS
 
CIA Director Gen. Michael Hayden has admitted that in 2005 the CIA destroyed two videotapes of interrogations of al-Qaeda prisoners, including a central figure in 9/11, Abu Zubaydah. Hayden said the tapes were destroyed to protect the identities of the CIA interrogators from members of al-Qaeda and other terrorists who might try to retaliate. He also claims that the tapes were made to safeguard against unlawful treatment of detainees, and that they were only destroyed after it was confirmed that suspects were not being tortured.

Divers Search for "mom" Cops Wife

LOCKPORT, Illinois (AP) -- Police dive teams searched frigid waters at the intersection of two canals Wednesday as part of the investigation into the disappearance of an ex-police officer's wife.

Dive teams search the waters of a canal in Lockport, Illinois, on Wednesday. Three boats with divers on deck worked amid blowing snow and wind. A tow truck and police vehicles were alongside the canal, and divers appeared to try to hook a tow line from the truck to something in the waterStacy Peterson, 23, was last seen October 28. Authorities have named her 53-year-old husband, Drew Peterson, as a suspect and said the case is a potential homicide.The Illinois State Police said debris was being pulled from the water for analysis, but would not say what divers were trying to find.

Turkish Army Enters Iraq

Turkish troops have massed on the Iraqi border

The Turkish army says it has inflicted "heavy losses" on rebels from the Kurdish separatist PKK movement across the border in Iraq. The army said it fired on a group of about 50 rebels, though the statement did not say troops entered Iraq. In October, Turkey's parliament voted to allow the military to launch operations into Iraq to combat the PKK, which had stepped up attacks in

Turkey. But Iraq and the US have urged Turkey not to carry out its threat.

Million-Degree Plasma Pervading the Extended Orion Nebula

Manuel Güdel , E-mail: guedel@astro.phys.ethz.ch

Most stars form as members of large associations within dense, very cold (10–100 K) molecular clouds. The nearby giant molecular cloud in Orion hosts several thousand stars of ages less than a few million years, many of which are located in or around the famous Orion Nebula, a prominent gas structure illuminated and ionized by a small group of massive stars (the Trapezium). We present X-ray observations obtained with the X-ray Multi-Mirror satellite XMM-Newton revealing that a hot plasma with a temperature of 1.7-2.1 million K pervades the southwest extension of the nebula. The plasma flows into the adjacent interstellar medium. This X-ray outflow phenomenon must be widespread throughout our Galaxy.

Stellar Feedback in Dwarf Galaxy Formation 
    * To whom correspondence should be addressed.
Sergey Mashchenko , E-mail: syam@physics.mcmaster.ca

Dwarf galaxies pose significant challenges for cosmological models. In particular, current models predict a dark matter density that is divergent at the center, in sharp contrast with observations which indicate an approximately constant central density core. Energy feedback, from supernova explosions and stellar winds, has been proposed as a major factor shaping the evolution of dwarf galaxies. We present detailed cosmological simulations with sufficient resolution both to model the relevant physical processes and to directly assess the impact of stellar feedback on observable properties of dwarf galaxies. We show that feedback drives large-scale, bulk motion of the interstellar gas resulting in significant gravitational potential fluctuations and a consequent reduction in the central matter density, bringing the theoretical predictions in agreement with observations.
