Snowden Seeking Russian Protection After Threats: Lawyer 21 Jan 2014 Edward Snowden, the fugitive former U.S. contractor residing in Russia under temporary asylum, is appealing to the local government for protection after receiving threats against his life, his lawyer in Moscow said. "He has no other option but to seek protection and ask for the situation to be cleared up," Anatoly Kucherena said by phone today. "There are worries and alarm about statements and actions on the part of some officials." Kucherena, who has represented Snowden's interests in Russia since he sought refuge last July after leaking classified National Security Agency documents, pointed to reports this month that contained threats made by unidentified U.S. officials.

The former Prime Minister has been haunted for almost a decade by the legacy of what many term an illegal war which saw up to a million Iraqis die and the country left ravaged by rival militia groups. While Blair is used to facing protests wherever he goes, from high level conferences to book signings, he has never been ambushed in a social setting - until now.


U.S. Preparing to Send Small Arms to Iraq 17 Jan 2014 The U.S. is preparing to send small arms and ammunition to the Iraqi government to help combat resurgent al-Qaeda[al-CIAduh]-linked forces in western Anbar province, the Pentagon said today. The military aid will be delivered "as rapidly as possible" to meet a request made by [US-installed dictator] Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, said Army Colonel Steve Warren, a Pentagon spokesman. Maliki told the Washington Post in an interview that he would support a new U.S. military training mission in Jordan for Iraqi counterterrorism troops, a move that would allow for a greater U.S. role in shoring up 'Iraq's' government.

DND removes report on killing of Canadian soldier by Israeli forces 25 Dec 2013 The Defence Department has quietly removed from the Internet a report into the killing of a Canadian military officer by Israeli forces, a move the soldier's widow says is linked to the Conservative government's reluctance to criticize Israel for any wrongdoing. Maj. Paeta Hess-von Kruedener and three other United Nations observers were killed in 2006 when the Israeli military targeted their small outpost with repeated artillery barrages as well as an attack by a fighter aircraft... Hess-von Kruedener's widow, Cynthia, told the Citizen that the decision to remove the document from the public domain was made by DND and the government in an effort to protect Israel's reputation.


Heads up!

Customs and Border Protection loaned Predator drones to other agencies 700 times - 'newly discovered' records 14 Jan 2014 Customs and Border Protection recently "discovered" additional daily flight logs that show the agency has flown its drones on behalf of local, state and federal law enforcement agencies on 200 more occasions more than previously released records indicated. Last July we reported, based on daily flight log records CBP made available to us in response to our Freedom of Information Act lawsuit, that CBP logged an eight-fold increase in the drone surveillance it conducts for other agencies. These agencies included a diverse group of local, state, and federal law enforcement--ranging from the FBI, ICE, the US Marshals, and the Coast Guard to the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Investigation, the North Dakota Bureau of Criminal Investigation, the North Dakota Army National Guard, and the Texas Department of Public Safety.


Prosecutor: NATO 3 'intended to commit an act of terror' in Chicago 21 Jan 2014 The trial of three out-of-state men charged with plotting terrorist attacks during the 2012 NATO summit in Chicago got underway with prosecutors and defense attorneys presenting vastly different views of the 'evidence.' Attorneys for Brian Church, Jared Chase and Brent Betterly said their clients weren't terrorists, just loud-mouthed young men, often drunk, who were goaded on by undercover police officers desperate to make an arrest to help their superiors justify the enormous security costs that came with hosting the summit. "This is not a case of terrorism at all - it doesn't even come close," said Sarah Gelsomino, an attorney for Brian Church. "That's why this case is so extremely important. It's a case about who the state can brand a terrorist, which is the most damning and prejudicial accusation of all."

NY schools test 'panic button' app in wake of Sandy Hook --Once the button is pushed, other school staff with the app are notified with instructions such as 'lock down' or 'evacuate.' 19 Jan 2014 Nassau County and a Manhattan private school are testing a new emergency-response "panic button" inspired by the Sandy Hook school massacre. The system, called School Safety Response, provides an instant link between schools and police and fire departments through an app installed on teachers' smartphones.

New Jersey Democrats plan to expand Christie probe 19 Jan 2014 New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie spent the weekend in Florida meeting with key donors despite new trouble at home, with Democratic lawmakers saying they're ready to expand the "Bridgegate" investigation to look at claims that politics played a role in the distribution of Sandy relief funds.
