Australian anti-terror laws will be delayed

October 27, 2005

Jon Stanhope, the Australian Capital Territory Chief Minister, is the first Australian state or territory chief to reject the Howard Government's proposed anti-terror legislation in its current state.

He said he would not vote into law the ACT's part of the legislation, including extending preventive detention of terror suspects to 14 days, unless there were changes.

The Federal Government requires the support of a least four states to give the final legislation the go-ahead. If the Commonwealth proceeds with its laws without the ACT's co-operation - the territory could become the odd jurisdiction out, as the only one without preventive detention for people suspected of planning a terrorist attack.

"I'm quite happy to change it provided the situation is covered," Mr Howard told reporters in Madang, at the Pacific Islands Forum. "I'm quite relaxed about the final form of the legislation, providing it delivers on the substance of the agreement." Mr Howard said he was not committed to introducing the changes next week, although he wanted them by Christmas.

Opposition Leader Kim Beazley, who was outraged that the Government had chosen Melbourne Cup Day as a cover to introduce the Bills, pointed out that the Treasurer and the Prime Minister were at odds.

Constitutional Questions
The Australian PM has agreed to changes to Australia's controversial Anti-Terror Laws, after comments from his own Treasurer.

Peter Costello, speaking to The Age Newspaper for the first time on the issue, apparently contradicted earlier statements made by the PM, saying, "Unfortunately nobody ever finally knows these things until such time as the court rules".

"Peter Costello contradicted John Howard today and went out there and said 'Well it might be unconstitutional but let's just sort of suck it and see'," Mr Beazley said to Melbourne’s Herald Sun newspaper.

Mr Howard said there was nothing of concern in legal advice from the Solicitor-General and he remained convinced the laws were constitutional, but did concede to changes to the so-called “shoot-to-kill” provisions for police. . Queensland Premier Peter Beattie welcomed Mr Howard's move on the shoot-to-kill clause and said he was confident all constitutional issues could be overcome.

Human Rights
The Human Rights and Equal Opportunities Commission(HREOC) president is of the belief that the bill needs to be reconsidered because it is not in line with Australia's international human rights obligations.

HREOC is a national independent statutory body of the Australian Government. It has the responsibility for investigating alleged infringements under Australia’s anti-discrimination legislation.

The Head of HREOC says under the proposed laws the opportunity to challenge a detention order against an individual or a control order against the person's family is unrealistic, and has concerns about what happens to a person after they are subjected to a preventive detention order.

"They're not told why they're subject to it, nor is there any way in which they can go about challenging the facts upon which that order is made," he told the ABC.

"That's the real, the most serious of the human rights issues in the whole procedure. There is no means of reviewing what has been done once its happened."

"International human rights law requires that a person who is detained must have the right to challenge this detention in a court without delay. Review before the court needs to include: consideration of whether the order is based on a correct understanding of the facts; whether the detention is fair; whether it is reasonably necessary in the circumstances; and whether it is proportionate to the goal of protecting national security. The current form of the bill simply fails to meet these basic guarantees."

HREOC says a special court should be established to review enforcement provisions in the draft bill.

Australian video journalist denies bodies burned in disrespect

October 27, 2005

Stephen Dupont, the Australian video journalist whose footage of U.S. soldiers burning corpses in Afghanistan sparked worldwide controversy, is denying any claims made by others that the bodies in the footage were burned in a disrespectable fashion.

Dupont's video was first broadcasted by the Australian television network SBS earlier this month, showing footage of US soldiers burning bodies in a desertous region of Afghanistan. During an interview with the station regarding his footage, Dupont said, "They [ ] used that as a psychological warfare, I guess you'd call it. They used the fact that the Taliban were burned facing west [towards Mecca]. ... They deliberately wanted to incite that much anger from the Taliban so the Taliban could attack them. ... That's the only way they can find them."

The issue has many questioning whether the burning of the bodies, which violate islamic principles, or the broadcasting of the PSY-OPS message violated sections of the.

Some initial news report coverage seems to have interpreted the PSY-OPS broadcast that was stating that the bodies were burned "facing west", as a factual statement. On October 21, Dupont appeared on the talk show  and  clarified this point in an interview, reiterating that the bodies were either burned under orders from officials, or for hygiene concerns brought forth when locals did not retrieve the bodies. Dupont also corrected reports that the bodies were facing toward Mecca, saying: "Look, the bodies as far as I’m concerned, the bodies were lying on the ground, they weren’t facing anywhere, they were just lying there."

Both the Afghan government and the U.S. Army have begun investigations into the claims.

Several dozen protesters arrested outside White House for permit violations

October 27, 2005

Police arrested over two dozen anti-war protesters for demonstrating without a permit in front of the White House in Washington, DC on Wednesday.

The rally consisted of protestors organized in a "die-in", appearing to be deceased. The peace rally was performed shortly after reports that the death toll for U.S. soldiers serving in Iraq reached 2,000.

The left-leaning MoveOn.org led a national campaign to galvanize anti-war vigils. Organization members on their e-mail lists received a notice Wednesday that read: "Dear MoveOn member, Yesterday we reached the sad milestone of 2,000 killed in Iraq. But for the most part, the national media are ignoring this tragic milestone."

Phyllis Bennis of the Institute for Policy Studies said that changes in U.S. public opinion are showing signs that peace activists are "beginning to give voice to the majority in this country."

Among those arrested was activist Cindy Sheehan. She was arrested for the same offense in another anti-war demonstration just last month.

Talk:Mum of Dead US Soldier Arrested Outside Whitehouse

"Mum" is rarely heard in American dialects -- most American readers would probably interpret it as a colloquialism, and thus an insufficiently serious term to use when writing of someone who has been arrested. To appeal to a broader audience -- presuming "Mother" is acceptable in Australia -- I recommend changing "Mum" to "Mother".


text:
Talk:Several dozen protesters arrested outside White House for permit violations

Be sure to change the title on the main page as well. Also, "White House" is two words.

"whose son was lost in Iraq" Lost how? MIA? Killed? Also, who lost the son? The US or her? i.e. "was lost" or "Sheehan... lost."

"Sheehan... along with two dozen people" Is Sheehan not a person? "other people" or simply "others" is necessary.

 * I give up, I'm interested, but lost on this. The MoveOn e-mail is drawing blogger fire. The media over-hyped the milestone in my opinion. -Edbrown05 00:46, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

Thai PM promises action on suspected militants

October 27, 2005

Thai Prime Minister, Thaksin Shiniwatra, told journalists attending his weekly press conference that the government would be more aggressive in measures taken to counter insurgency in the country's provinces on the southern border with Malaysia.

His statement followed coordinated attacks by suspected militants in the provinces of Yala, Narathiwat, and Pattani.

At a time chosen for the likelihood of the predominantly Muslim population to be at evening prayers in local mosques, armouries belonging to local village defense forces were raided. According to local media reports there were at least three deaths as well as several people injured — some seriously. The casualties are said to consist of both insurgents and local villagers.

Thaksin said that the suspected separatists demonstrated "strong coordination" in the attacks, he stated that the authorities in the area should have new measures in place by November to aggressively address the issue. Despite strong words on the matter, the Prime Minister emphasized that, "the government will exercise most restraint and patience", and that the government's objective was to bring peace to the region.

Harriet Miers withdraws from Supreme Court nomination

October 27, 2005

President George W. Bush's nominee for Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, Harriet Miers, has withdrawn herself from the nomination.

In a letter dated October 27, to President Bush, she wrote that "members of the Senate have indicated their intention to seek documents about my service in the White House," and that she "would be expected to testify about my service in the White House."

Faced with mounting criticism of his nominee from numerous disparate organizations, within and outside the President's Republican Party, Bush acknowledged her resignation and critics by saying "It is clear that Senators would not be satisfied until they gained access to internal documents concerning advice provided during her tenure at the White House — disclosures that would undermine a President's ability to receive candid counsel. Harriet Miers' decision demonstrates her deep respect for this essential aspect of the constitutional separation of powers — and confirms my deep respect and admiration for her."

The Miers nomination was politically controversial because she is White House Counsel and she was a personal lawyer to Bush when he was governor of Texas. Miers also has no experience as a judge.

Since there was no record of how she might interpret the Constitution, members of the Senate Judiciary Committee requested detailed written replies to a series of questions probing her past. It became apparent that Senators wanted to review White House records documenting legal advice provided by Miers as part of her work for the Bush administration.

President Bush has been seeking to replace the retiring Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, the first female Supreme Court Justice, since her July 1, 2005 letter stating she would retire "effective upon the nomination and confirmation of her successor."

Iranian president calls Israel ‘disgraceful blot’

October 27, 2005 Iranians plan a nation-wide demonstration on Friday in support of their president's comments that called for the elimination of Israel. The demonstrations would coincide with the annual event called al-Quds Day, where the Israeli control of Jerusalem is protested.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in a speech to 3,000 students in Tehran said Wednesday there was, "no doubt the new wave [of attacks] in Palestine will soon wipe off this disgraceful blot from the face of the Islamic world." At a conference called "The World without Zionism", the recently elected Iranian president Ahmadinejad said the establishment of Israel was, "a move by the world oppressor against the Islamic world," a reference to Western military and political pressure.

Ahmadinejad won the presidency in June with a populist approach that stressed Islam and revolutionary principles. The speech cited numerous references to the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini and included a declaration that, "As the imam said, Israel must be wiped off the map."

Other similar remarks, such as "God willing, the eradication of Israel would soon be realized through the continued wisdom of the Palestinian nation," have drawn wide condemnation.

France and Germany have summoned the respective Iranian ambassadors to their countries. A spokesperson for the British government called the remarks "deeply disturbing and sickening". The European Union said in a joint statement that "calls for violence, and for the destruction of any state, are manifestly inconsistent with any claim to be a mature and responsible member of the international community".

Israeli Prime minister Ariel Sharon said that "a country that calls for the destruction of another people cannot be a member of the United Nations" and added: "Such a country that has nuclear weapons is a danger, not only to Israel and the Middle East, but also to Europe."

The United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan expressed "dismay" over Ahmadinejad's remarks. In statements released by his secretary on Thursday, Annan, whose plans still include a visit to Iran within a month, said he would "place the Middle East peace process, and the right of all states in the area to live in peace within secure and recognized boundaries free from threats or acts of force, at the top of his agenda for that visit." The U.N. Charter calls on all members to refrain from threats or force against the territorial integrity or political independence of another state.

A U.S. state department spokesman, Sean McCormick, said the United States would not support the call by Israel to eject Iran from the United Nations. McCormick's response was centered on issues of the enriched uranium processing in Iran, the human rights of its people, and alleged support for terrorism abroad.

The U.S. has had no formal diplomatic relations with Iran since the Islamic revolution of 1979.

Talk:Iranian president calls Israel ‘disgraceful blot’

Awkward
The [] in the quotes make it a bit awkward to read. Is there any way to define a context for the quotes that means they aren't needed? Brianmc 16:00, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Hmm, I don't now. Brackets are actually a common way to provide context for quotes. --Deprifry | +T+ 16:39, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I thought they were a last resort, and you'd use something like speaking about attacks directed against Israel, Ahmadinejad said that there was, "no doubt the new wave in Palestine will soon wipe off this disgraceful blot from the face of the Islamic world.". As to the vitriol directed at the US, I understand it is a widely held belief that if not for the support of the U.S. the Israeli state would probably not exist.  As it stands, the article does cover the "blame" directed at the West for the mid-east problems.  Anyway, I suppose it is difficult to work around strict translations of what was probably political "rabble-rousing". Brianmc 19:31, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
 * In Iran, the term "world oppressor" or "world arrogance" is used pretty much as a synonym for United States by people like Ahmadinejad (see or ). It dates back, I think, to Khomeini who "popularized", if you will, the usage of these phrases when refering to the US. I'm just not sure how to incorporate that in the article to further explain the quote. --Deprifry | +T+ 19:58, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Just noticed this talk... and was myself a little uneasy with the bracketed quote. I made changes... readably smooth I hope. -Edbrown05 20:46, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
 * You addressed the second one quite nicely. Now it looks a lot better with just one clarifying quote.  I think it was the two that made it bad. Brianmc 20:59, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Ditto. Nicely done, thanks. --Deprifry | +T+ 21:03, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

 * There's nothing awkward about this article now. BBC also has an article on the story  Brianmc 22:03, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

Another mistranslation?
Since this article has the exclusive stance that it is Iran's and Ahmadinejad's opinion that Israel should be destroyed by violence, I think it would be fair to include the view that his statement would have been better-translated as "I have no doubt that the new movement taking place in our dear Palestine is a wave of morality which is spanning the entire Islamic world and which will soon remove this stain of disgrace from the Islamic world." http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article14733.htm

This wikinews article is linked to from the 'pedia article about Ahmadinejad's comments about Zionism, which very carefully maintains neutrality; this article is not neutral, so it was a quite a shock coming from there to here.

Fact-finder confirms that Arar was tortured

October 27, 2005

A report aimed at assessing the credibility of statements made by Ottawa computer engineer, Maher Arar, confirmed that his account of torture received while in Syrian custody is credible. Steven Toope, the court-appointed author of the report wrote, "I am convinced that his description of his treatment in Syria is accurate" and concluded that "Mr. Maher Arar was subjected to torture in Syria".

In September 2002, when returning to Canada from a family trip to Tunisia, Mr. Arar was detained by U.S. officials in New York when transiting through the city's airport. Mr. Arar holds dual citizenship of Canada and Syria and was travelling on his Canadian passport. U.S. authorities decided to deport Mr. Arar to Syria, accusing him of having terrorist connections. He was detained by Syria for more than a year before Canadian authorities managed to arrange his repatriation. During this time he was interrogated and tortured.

According to Canadian Senator Pierre De Bané, U.S. officials first offered to return Mr. Arar to Canada on the condition that Arar would be incarcerated and charged immediately. Canada was unable to accept these conditions as they were not provided with sufficient evidence for the U.S. charges. The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms does not allow for "detention without proper grounds". After being held in New York for eleven days, U.S. officials deported Mr. Arar to Syria, a country with a longstanding history of torture and abuse of its prisoners.

Japan-Korea premiers' meeting in doubt over shrine visit

October 28, 2005

During talks between the respective Foreign Ministers, Ban Ki-moon, the South Korean minister has expressed doubt that his country's President would be able to visit Japan due to opinion regarding Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi's visit to the. The Foreign Affairs and Trade Minister described the prospects for such a visit as "grim".

Ban is currently on a visit for talks with his Japanese counterpart, where he said that the "people of South Korea were disappointed" at the Koizumi's visit to the controversial shrine.

The Yasukuni Shrine is dedicated to the spirits of dead Japanese soldiers, originally constructed in 1869. The controversy arose as a result of the shrine honouring a number of convicted war criminals. The shrine's policy was to honour all fallen Japanese soldiers, which was not an issue at the time. However, the perception of the shrine in the eyes of some Asian countries occupied during the Second World War is that it is a rallying point for right-wing and nationalist groups within Japan. Japanese peace movements view the shrine in a similar light.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Fixit. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Fixit~enwikinews that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Japanese riot police deployed around consulates

October 28, 2005

Japanese riot police were deployed on streets surrounding the Korean and Chinese consulates in the city of Fukuoka, the largest city on the south-western island of Kyushu. Sound trucks belonging to right-wing nationalist groups were circling the area and the police presence appeared to be an effort to control these groups. Police officers on the scene declined to comment.

Relations between Japan and its neighbors have been tense due to Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi's policy of visiting the Yasukuni Shrine, where the remains of Japanese soldiers killed in wars since the mid-nineteenth century are interred. Koizumi visited the shrine on October 17. Convicted war criminals from the Second World War are also interred at Yasukuni, so Prime Ministerial visits have been severely criticized by other Asian leaders. Territorial disputes between China and Japan have also increased tension in recent months.

Hi! Great article on what is happening in Japan. Just one question: Is this original reporting? What I mean is, did you witness the events described in the article?

Talk:Japanese riot police deployed around consulates

Original reporting
I live near the Chinese and Korean consulates in Fukuoka. The area is swarming with riot police and right-wing sound trucks. I assume this will be occurring in other major cities too. - unsigned comment by 61.201.156.46

Other sources
It doesn't seem that any other news agencies are reporting on this yet. Any chance of some pictures? Or more detail about the context? Why have these "right-wing nationalists" started protesting today, when there hasn't been a visit to the shrine in a while? When did the PM last visit the shrine? What do these "right-wing nationalists" call themselves? etc.... Great work so far though! - Borofkin 05:12, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I just moved the article I did on the Korean Foreign minister's comments to publish, perhaps it could be moved back to develop and used as background on this story? Brianmc 06:41, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Perhaps. There's no reason why you can't just cut-and-paste from the other story to this story, and we can decide later if the other story should be deleted. - Borofkin 06:43, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

I suppose this might be considered ethno-centric of me, but may I suggest this article's title be changed to "Lech Kaczynski elected as the new president of Poland, according to polls"?

Policy proposal Re; Time limit for Administrators
hi,; hope you can support this I just put this on the watercooler policy section

This is an urgent issue that must be addressed now,imo, because an integral condition for exercising administrative authority here on wikinews is stipulated to be "You are trusted by the community"[1].

I have designed a very simple policy proposal. Our past attempts at dealing with this sensitive issue(e.g.ArbCom proposals) have been unsuccessful,imo, because of their complicatedness. I would simply ask, if possible, that this proposal be given an "up or down" vote (with associated comments of course). Any attempt to complicate OR DELAY IT (especially by existing administrators) could be seen as suspicious behavior, I think. Administrators who have the community's trust have nothing to fear with this proposal.

Proposal;

1. As of Feb.1,2006, adminships will be for a 1 year term. 2. All existing non-Bureaucrat adminships will terminate Feb. 1st. 2006.

3.Nominations for renewal of existing adminships will begin on January 24th.

SUPPORT;

OPPOSE;

Australian Portal
Hi Whywhywhy.... Just letting you know that I've comletely redone the Australian Portal - it now displays articles grouped into days, the same as on the main page, and has a lead article. We can set our own standards on the Aussie portal - for example, we could ditch the whole "develop" and "publish" stages if we wanted to, or we could create an "australia-publish" stage, that would cause the article to appear as published on the Australian Portal, but not on the Main Page. Articles are still in the main namespace, however, and still have to be NPOV. Anyway, let me know what you think on the Australian discussion page. - Borofkin 23:33, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

Tom Cruise parody site defiant in face of Scientology threats, demands its day in court

October 29, 2005

The Church of Scientology "cease and desist" order isssued last month to the New Zealand owner of a Tom Cruise parody website called scienTOMogy demanded they shut down the site, and transfer ownership to the Church, or face a lawsuit of up to $100,000.

The website responded on Saturday by stating, "Their claims are completely frivolous" and that "scienTOMogy.info is a parody site showing the recent lunacy of Tom Cruise—confusion of any kind with their site is literally impossible… We're keeping our domain… see you in court."

On September 14, the Church's law firm, Moxon & Kobrin, responded via email that the scienTOMogy website domain was an infringement of their trademark that would cause a "likelihood of confusion" with their own, and thereby broke federal law. Specifically, the Church cited the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. � 1125(a).

The Lanham Act contains the federal statutes governing trademark law in the United States. The Church would have to prove factors such as "proof of actual confusion", "product types, proximity and marketing", "their respective appearance and meanings", and "(bad) intention behind selecting the mark".

Glen Stollery, the website's owner hit back at the Church by stating, "We have researched this and believe their claims are completely without merit. The church can provide no proof as to any confusion regarding the sites. For instance, scientology.info does not even exist, so compared to scienTOMogy.info it is hardly a matter of someone hitting the wrong key. We also have a Full Disclaimer at the top of the front page and in the website's meta-tags stating that there is no connection between ourselves and the church. Not to mention the fact that the site is completely non-commercial in nature, and does not generate a single cent of revenue nor offers any services of any kind. It is a parody site showing the recent lunacy of Tom Cruise—confusion of any kind with their site is literally impossible."

Stollery continues "The non-commercial use of a trademark as the domain name of a website—the subject of which is consumer commentary about the products and services represented by the mark—does not constitute infringement under the Lanham Act." Bosley Medical Institute v. Kremer (9th Cir., Apr. 4, 2005). In this instance, we are even one step further removed as their trademark is "scientology" not "scienTOMogy" Their claims are completely frivolous."

If this is the case then it would not be the first time the law firm would be found guilty of filing frivolous complaints. In 1994, Helena Kobrin of Moxon & Kobrin, counsel for the Church of Scientology, was ordered to pay sanctions in the total sum of $17,775 for filing a frivolous complaint in federal court. Stollery states on his website that he believes this is simply a way of "scaring any critics into instantly backing down at the prospect of costly lawsuits regardless of their innocence." In closing he says to the church "I'm calling your bluff. File your lawsuit we're keeping our domain… see you in court"

Lewis "Scooter" Libby indicted on five charges

October 28, 2005

I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, Jr., chief of staff to U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney, resigned Friday following indictment on five federal felony charges.

Mr. Libby is charged with obstruction of justice, two counts of perjury to a Grand Jury, and two counts of making false statements to the FBI in the Justice Department's investigation into the Plame leak. Mr. Libby's resignation was accepted by Vice President Cheney. President Bush also accepted Mr. Libby's resignation as Assistant to the President.

The indictment centers on Mr. Libby's grand jury testimony that he learned from media sources that Joseph Wilson's wife, Valerie Plame, worked under cover for the CIA. The Justice Department says that Mr. Libby knew of Plame's covert status from at least four government officials, including Vice President Cheney, in the month prior to his talks with the press, but that he sought to hide that knowledge from the investigation.

No charges were filed against White House advisor Karl Rove, but he remains under scrutiny in the on-going two year investigation led by Special Counselor Patrick Fitzgerald. The Seattle Post Intelligencer reported that late Friday, three people close to the investigation stated that the individual referred to in Fitzgerald's record as "Official A" was actually Karl Rove, the so called "senior official in the White House" who allegedly informed Libby on July 10 or 11 of 2003 that Plame was a CIA operative. The Washington Post is reporting that Rove's "fate" will be known soon.

All five charges stem from three conversations Mr. Libby had with reporters about Valerie Plame in 2003 between July 10 and 12:
 * On or about July 10, Libby spoke with Tim Russert of NBC. Mr. Libby testified that Mr. Russert asked him if he knew Mr. Wilson's wife worked at the CIA, and that Mr. Russert told him all reporters knew about Mr. Wilson's wife.

 * The indictment alleges that Mr. Russert did not ask Mr. Libby what he knew about Wilson's wife, nor did Mr. Russert tell him that all the reporters knew it. The indictment says that Libby knew through governmental sources that Mr. Wilson's wife worked for the CIA.

 * On or about July 12, Mr. Libby spoke with Matthew Cooper of TIME magazine. Mr. Libby testified he told Mr. Cooper that he heard from other reporters that Mr. Wilson's wife worked for the CIA, but he didn't know for sure whether or not she did.

 * The indictment alleges that Mr. Libby did not talk about other reporters, but simply confirmed for Mr. Cooper that Mr. Wilson's wife worked for the CIA.

 * Mr. Libby spoke with Judith Miller of The New York Times. Mr. Libby again testified that the conversation was about other reporters, and he told Ms. Miller he was unsure Mr. Wilson's wife worked at the CIA.

 * The indictment claims that Libby did not talk about other reporters, and did not advise Ms. Miller he was unsure about Mr. Wilson's wife.

In a nationally televised press conference announcing the indictment, Special Prosecutor Fitzgerald likened the alleged falsehoods of Mr. Libby's testimony to sand being thrown in the face of a baseball umpire. The obstruction of justice count alleges that Mr. Libby made false statements while testifying before the grand jury, and attempted to mislead and deceive the grand jury by doing so.

The two false statement charges relate to FBI interviews conducted in October and November 2003. There is one charge for the July 10, 2003 interview with Mr. Russert, and another for the July 12, 2003 interview with Cooper. One perjury charges alleges Mr. Libby lied to the grand jury about his conversation with Mr .Russert. The second alleges he was lying when he testified to the grand jury that he had told reporters "I hear from other reporters Wilson's wife works for the CIA."

If convicted on all counts, Mr. Libby faces up to 30 years in prison and a $1.25 million fine. In a written statement delivered by his lawyer, Mr. Libby said "today is a sad day for me and my family" but is confident that he will be "completely and totally exonerated."

Vice President Dick Cheney called Mr. Libby in a written statement one "of the most capable and talented individuals I have ever known" and stressed that he is presumed innocent until proven otherwise.

President George W. Bush called the investigation "serious" and said that Mr. Libby "worked tirelessly on behalf of the American people and sacrificed much in the service to this country."

Background
In September 2003, CIA Director George Tenet requested a Justice Department probe of the possibility that high officials of the Bush administration leaked to journalists the secret CIA identity of Plame. In December 2003, Patrick J. Fitzgerald was appointed Special Counsel in charge of investigating the leak of the identity of covert CIA officer Valerie Plame. A grand jury was convened to hear testimony from reporters and members of the Bush administration. The federal indictment suggests that Libby lied about what he told reporters Tim Russert, Matt Cooper, and Judith Miller. "When citizens testify before grand juries they are required to tell the truth," Mr. Fitzgerald said.

In February 2002, Joseph Wilson was asked to travel to Niger by the Central Intelligence Agency in order to investigate claims that Niger had sold yellowcake uranium to Iraq, a substance that - after a lengthy purification process - can be used to make a nuclear weapon.

On the 28th of January, 2003, President George Bush stated in his State of the Union address that, "The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa." Much of the President's address was focused on building support for the War in Iraq, on the grounds that Iraq had been developing Weapons of Mass Destruction, and this statement was a key part of the rationale to justify going to war.

On July 6, 2003, Wilson wrote an opinion piece in the New York Times attacking the validity of Bush's assertion by describing how his experiences in Africa had led him to believe no such sale had taken place. He went on to accuse the Bush Administration of manipulating intelligence data in order to exaggerate the threat posed by Iraq. Ultimately, the White House was forced to retract the statement regarding Niger in the State of the Union address.

On July 14th 2003, journalist Robert Novak published a news article that disclosed the identity of Valerie Plame as a CIA operative. Novak attributed the information about Plame's identity to "senior administration officials." After Novak's article was published, other news reporters speculated that Plame's identity as a CIA operative was leaked by the Bush administration in an effort to punish Mr. Wilson for his public criticism of the administration. Valerie Plame and Joseph Wilson are married, although Valerie had been using her maiden name "Plame" in her role as a covert operative rather than using her married name.

In June 2004, President George W. Bush was questioned about the leak by the Justice Department, but not in front of the Grand Jury. Bush first promised to fire anyone in his administration who leaked the CIA identity of Plame, then later qualified this as meaning that he would only act if it could be shown that a crime was committed.

With the Grand Jury scheduled to conclude its term in October 2005, reporter Judith Miller was jailed in July 2005 for refusing to reveal the source of the Plame leak. After 85 days in jail, Miller finally testified before the Grand Jury. Several reporters, including Miller and Matthew Cooper, identified Deputy White House Chief of Staff Karl Rove and Dick Cheney's chief of staff Lewis Libby as Bush administration sources who revealed Valerie Plame's identity as a CIA operative.

The indictment comes at the same time as allegations mount that Vice President Cheney and his chief of staff Libby withheld crucial documents from the Senate Intelligence Committee as it was investigating the intelligence failure in the run-up to the Iraq war in 2004. Rep. Jerrold Nadler has requested to expand Fitzgerald's investigation to clear up if the actions in the CIA leak were just a part in a larger scheme to deceive Congress into authorizing war, who was involved and whether their actions were criminal.

Talk:Lewis "Scooter" Libby indicted on five charges

This should be merged with the existing template about the CIA leak case.--vonbergm 17:57, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

The title Lewis "Scooter" Libby indicted on five charges seems good. I suggest that useful material at --> Story preparation/Special Counsel ends probe into leak of CIA officer's identity be moved to Lewis "Scooter" Libby indicted on five charges. --JWSchmidt 18:01, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

I think we should try to get this out quick, where is the template?

I created this article, and believe we should copy paste everything from the other article here and put it up on the front page --Alpharigel 18:04, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

Looks like someone found the article. Good work. --vonbergm 18:17, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

Last Background Paragraph
The sources for the last paragraph in the background sections went missing. I added in that paragraph last night with two sources. It is only peripheral information, so the paragraph could be deleted. I believe it provides an important perspective on where the indictments on obstruction of justice and false statments fit into the bigger picture. In people agree to keep the paragraph, the sources should be added again. --vonbergm 18:22, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

They probably got loss with the cut and paste I did. I thinks its good background and vote to put them back in. --Alpharigel 18:26, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Ok, i will put them back in.  Done. --vonbergm 18:38, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

Im going to take a few minuets and read the press release so we can add a "Charge Detail" section--Alpharigel 18:36, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Good. I added a half-sentence in the first paragraph detailing the indictments a little more.--vonbergm 18:38, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

Assistant to President Bush
Did Libby also resign from his post as assistant to President George W. Bush? --vonbergm 20:37, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Bush said in his 1-minute remarks that he accepted Libby's resignation, so I would presume:Yes. --Deprifry | +T+ 20:51, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
 * No other way to interpret this, as this is the only position from which Bush could possibly accept Libby's resignation. Thanks. --vonbergm 21:03, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I missed Bush remarks, this goes over clumsy and I don't know what to do other than think the Bush mention is simply a formality ditto :| Edbrown05 21:09, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

 * While it is nice to credit everyone It is only required that it be attributed to "Wikinews". :) --Cspurrier 21:45, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure. I think we are still required to maintain a list of authors here while allowing outsiders to attribute to "Wikinews", given that the editors still have the moral rights to their works, even if they release them under the CC-BY 2.5. --Deprifry | +T+ 22:03, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
 * A link to the original article would suffice. Just wondering (I didn't actually contribute to story prep, just made a suggestion), why didn't the original story get moved to a new title? - Amgine / talk 23:12, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I guess people just rushed to writing when the news occured (there's actually yet another one here) - not checking if there were already stories on topic - so that's how the little confusion happened. --Deprifry | +T+ 23:20, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Actually, I think the work done on the preparation article should still be used. Wikinews should have another article about the ending of the investigation, not just the indictments. I would like to see an article which discusses who the investigation reports to, who paid for it, when it started and ended, especially why it ended and where it took place (the legal jurisdiction). If anyone wants to run with that... - Amgine / talk 23:23, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

Source support for factual statements
I am going through edits to this article. There are a number of well-meaning edits which, undoubtedly, are supported by external sources. However, they are not supported by the sources currently in the article. Could some of the editors working on this article please examine the article for source support? - Amgine / talk 23:33, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I'm not sure which parts of the article need sources. For example, if the article mentions what was said in a State of the Union speech, do we need to link to the White House webpage for the speech? --JWSchmidt 01:57, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Generally, any factual statement which is not widely known or which might be subject to debate. So, mentioning the State of the Union speech might not require a link, but quoting from it would require the link. If a news article says what our article says, it may be used as a supporting source also. - Amgine / talk 02:02, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

Last indictment sentence?
I am wondering what happened to the last indictment sentence? This article is of historical significance, as the last sitting senior White House official indicted was 1875 according to the CNN article I referenced last night. I researched the 1875 indictment this morning - the Whiskey Ring fraud case in the Presidency of Ulysses S. Grant. It would seem to make sense to include a reference to the case (which is covered in wikipedia and in excellent detail at: http://www.archives.gov/publications/prologue/2000/fall/whiskey-ring-1.html?template=print), again making the point that indictments of sitting major officials is quite unusual indeed. Anyone care to comment? --Psusen 13:20, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Can you define "senior White House official"? Also, is there a news-worthy distinction to be made beteen White House officials who resigned before being indicted and one who is indicted before resigning? --JWSchmidt 13:35, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Good historical point. CNNs definiition of senior is reasonable.  - 81.97.155.10 20:46, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

deletion request
This article has a delete tag in the middle of it. Is it intended that the section in question be removed, or has this just slipped through editing? Brianmc 08:14, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

 * That's because the Template:2003 Iraq pre-war intelligence infobox is up for deletion. I'm moving the DR-tag to the talk page so it doesn't show up on pages with this template. --Deprifry | +T+ 10:29, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

Body of Rosa Parks to lie in honor at U.S. Capitol

October 28, 2005

The body of civil rights pioneer Rosa Parks, who died on Monday, will lie in honor at the U.S. Capitol Rotunda, a tribute usually reserved for deceased presidents and war heroes.

The Senate passed a resolution on Thursday for Parks to lay in the Rotunda on Sunday and Monday so that "the citizens of the United States may pay their last respects to this great American". The House of Representatives approved the resolution today.

Parks will be the first woman to be honored in this way.

Senate Majority leader Bill Frist said allowing Parks to lie at the Capitol is "a testament to the impact of her life on both our nation's history and future". Minority leader Harry Reid said that Parks' actions "changed not only our country, but the entire world, as her actions gave hope to every individual fighting for civil and human rights." Senator Christopher Dodd added that Parks "is not just a national hero, she is the embodiment of our social and human conscience and the spark that lit the flame of liberty and equality for African Americans and minority groups in this country and around the globe".

Meanwhile, officials in Montgomery, the place of her historic act of defiance, and Detroit, her later home and deathplace, ordered that the first seat of every public bus will be reserved to honor Parks until her funeral, which is set for Wednesday.

User:GraemeMcRae

Hi, my name is Graeme McRae. I have always been a stickler for proper word usage and grammar, and this makes me annoyed at articles with clumsy wording or dumb mistakes of any kind. With Wikipedia, I can channel that frustration into positive action to polish the "surface" of the articles at the same time I learn from the underlying content. (My contributions) (My Edit Count Stats)

I have a personal webpage that I use kind of as a blog, for ranting about (or appreciating) various things, and a math page that I use for describing some very cool things about math, in a way that might help people understand them.

If you would like to leave me a message, edit my User Talk page, and put your comment at the bottom. I'm looking forward to hearing from you!

 Or, visit my User page on any one of these Wikimedia Sister Projects:

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Chrisblore. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Chrisblore~enwikinews that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:15, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Renamed
 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: . -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 06:30, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

Romania switches to Winter Time

October 29, 2005 In the morning of 30 October 2005, Romania with other countries from Europe will switch to Official Winter Time. Thus, 04:00 AM will become 03:00 AM and will be valid until 26 March 2006 when the Official Summer Time will be again used.

Following Romanian Government's Decision nb. 20 from 1997, Romania adopts Winter Time and Summer Time in the same day with the states of European Union and other countries part of this deal. Official Winter Time is adopted in the last Sunday of October and the Summer Time in last Sunday of March.

Usually, the official time of a country is Winter Time. Summer Time is a legal time adopted by some countries or territories during a part of a year. Summer Time is usually one hour in front of Standard Official Time.

This system is used for daylight-saving. During summer months, the time is moved forward in order to use as much sunlight for human activities, as well as to save electric energy used for lighting.

In Romania, Summer Time was first introduced in 1932. Until 1939 this worked yearly from the first Sunday of April (in 1932: 22 May) 00:00 AM and the first Sunday of October 01:00 AM (local time). From 1 April 1940 00:00 AM and 2 November 1942 03:00 AM, Summer Time was permanent in Romania. From 1943 the Summer Time was suspended and Romania used just Official Time (Winter Time).

Summer Time was reintroduced from 1979 and guided by two rules until the alignment to European Standards:
 * 1979–1983: first Sunday of April 00:00 AM – last Sunday of September 01:00 (exception: 1979, Summer Time was started in 27 May);
 * 1984–1996: last Sunday of March 00:00 – last Sunday of September 01:00

De mâine, ora oficială de iarnă
