Emails posted by WikiLeaks on Friday include partial transcripts from speeches that the Clinton campaign has previously refused to release. In one speech she gave to a Brazilian bank in 2013, she advocated for "open trade and open borders." ...In another private speech mentioned in the [Tony] Carrk [research director of the Clinton campaign] email, Clinton said it's important to have both a "public" and "private" position on certain issues. "If everybody's watching, you know, all of the back room discussions and the deals, you know, then people get a little nervous, to say the least," she said. "So, you need both a public and a private position."

Australia to permit indefinite detention after completion of terrorism-related sentences --There would be no new trial, although prisoners would have the right to argue in court that they aren't a threat --The change will upend a centuries-old legal principle that prisoners are automatically released when their sentences end. | 08 Oct 2016 | Australia is about to allow people who might commit terrorism to be held in prison--indefinitely. Under changes introduced into federal parliament last month by Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull's centre-right government, federal judges could stop prisoners being released after completing terrorism-related sentences. They wouldn't need to set a release date, although the prisoners' detention would be reviewed every year. The change will upend a centuries-old legal principle that prisoners are automatically released when their sentences end.

The Tornado ASST A3 aircraft has been grounded from October 6 "in order to avoid any risk to personnel or machinery," the Bundeswehr (German army) said in a statement on its website on Thursday.

[LOL! The actual 'loose screws' are the Western governments who are secretly arming and funding I-CIA-SIS, to destroy the democratically-elected government in Syria.]

The disclosure could fuel criticism by supporters of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, who has accused the Obama administration of failing to properly vet immigrants from Muslim-majority countries and has pledged a much tougher stance if he wins.
