Homicide | 01 May 2015 | The state's
attorney of Baltimore, in a unexpected announcement, said Friday that she had
probable cause to file homicide, manslaughter and misconduct charges against the
police officers in the death of Freddie Gray, who died after sustaining a spinal
cord injury while in police custody. In a news conference, the state's attorney,
Marilyn J. Mosby, described repeated mistreatment of Mr. Gray. She said that
time and again police mistreated Mr. Gray, arresting him with no grounds,
violating police procedure by putting him in cuffs and leg cuffs in the van
without seat belting him and then repeatedly failing to get him medical
attention...All six officers were charged, one with second-degree murder. Ms.
Mosby said warrants had been issued for the officers' arrests; she did not know
if anyone was in custody.
Breaking: Ally of Chris Christie Expected to Plead Guilty in George Washington
Bridge Lane-Closing Case | 01 May 2015 | A
former Port Authority official and ally of Gov. Chris Christie (R) of New Jersey
is expected to plead guilty on Friday to the first charges stemming from the

scandal. The United States attorney for New Jersey, Paul J. Fishman, announced

Study accuses the APA of complicity in CIA torture
program | 30 April 2015 | The American
Psychological Association, the largest professional scientific organization of
its kind, was secretly complicit in the adoption of torturous interrogation
tactics used by the United States against detainees, a new report suggests. A
study
released this week by notable anti-torture critics reveals that an analysis of
emails from the inbox of a deceased US government contractor demonstrates
compliance on behalf of the APA with regards to the drafting of so-called
enhanced interrogation techniques, or EITs, developed under President [sic]
George W. Bush. Nearly 700 emails from the late Scott Gerwehr -- a researcher
for RAND Corporation and an "apparent CIA contractor," the study says -- show
the APA had numerous contacts with Drs. James Mitchell and Bruce Jessen, the
alleged architects of the torture program, beginning in at least
2003.
WikiLeaks to release new docs on trade agreements, intelligence
agencies | 01 May 2015 | WikiLeaks is
planning new releases of secret documents on controversial negotiations and
intelligence agency operations, according to the anti-secrecy organisation's
Australian founder, Julian Assange. In an interview with Fairfax Media, Mr
Assange said that while he does not expect to leave Ecuador's London embassy any
time soon, WikiLeaks very much remains in the business of publishing the secrets
of diplomats and spies. "There'll be more publications -- about large
international so-called free trade deals, and about an intelligence agency," Mr
Assange said.

Gov. Abbott's Letter Elevates Jade Helm 15
Concerns | 30 April 2015 | In recent days,
Goliad County judge and former Marine Pat Calhoun has found himself reassuring
jittery residents of Goliad County that there is nothing to fear about Jade Helm
15, a planned military training exercise that has become a fascination of conspiracy theorists...The
two-month simulation, slated to begin in July in states throughout the
Southwest, has nonetheless spooked some Texans, leaving local officials
scrambling to assuage constituent anxieties about an operation even the military
characterizes as unusual in its "size and scope." On Tuesday, Gov. Greg Abbott
(R) elevated those concerns with a letter asking the Texas State Guard to keep
an eye on the operation, whose skeptics have openly questioned
whether it as a covert
effort to institute martial law.
