Court Says FBI Can Use Your Cell Phone To Spy... On You

by Vic Walter and Krista Kjellman, ABC News

Cell phone users, beware. The FBI can listen to everything you say, even when the cell phone is turned off.

A recent court ruling in a case against the Genovese crime family revealed that the FBI has the ability from a remote location to activate a cell phone and turn its microphone into a listening device that transmits to an FBI listening post, a method known as a "roving bug." Experts say the only way to defeat it is to remove the cell phone battery.

"The FBI can access cell phones and modify them remotely without ever having to physically handle them," James Atkinson, a counterintelligence security consultant, told ABC News. "Any recently manufactured cell phone has a built-in tracking device, which can allow eavesdroppers to pinpoint someone's location to within just a few feet," he added.

According to the recent court ruling by U.S. District Court Judge Lewis Kaplan, "The device functioned whether the phone was powered on or off, intercepting conversations within its range wherever it happened to be."

The court ruling denied motions by 10 defendants to suppress the conversations obtained by "roving bugs" on the phones of John Ardito, a high-ranking member of the family, and Peter Peluso, an attorney and close associate of Ardito, who later cooperated with the government. The "roving bugs" were approved by a judge after the more conventional bugs planted at specified locations were discovered by members of the crime family, who then started to conduct their business dealings in several additional locations, including more restaurants, cars, a doctor's office and public streets.

"The courts have given law enforcement a blank check for surveillance," Richard Rehbock, attorney for defendant John Ardito, told ABC News.

Judge Kaplan's ruling said otherwise. "While a mobile device makes interception easier and less costly to accomplish than a stationary one, this does not mean that it implicated new or different privacy concerns." He continued, "It simply dispenses with the need for repeated installations and surreptitious entries into buildings. It does not invade zones of privacy that the government could not reach by more conventional means."

But Rehbock disagrees. "Big Brother is upon us...1984 happened a long time ago," he said, referring to the George Orwell futuristic novel "1984," which described a society whose members were closely watched by those in power and was published in 1949.

The FBI maintains the methods used in its investigation of the Genovese family are within the law. "The FBI does not discuss sensitive surveillance techniques other than to emphasize that any electronic surveillance is done pursuant to a court order and ongoing judicial scrutiny," Agent Jim Margolin told ABC News.

WTF Two U.S. men charged with broadcasting Hezbollah TV

NEW YORK (Reuters) -

U.S. authorities brought terrorism charges against two men for providing
satellite broadcasts of Hezbollah television channel al-Manar to U.S. customers,
according to an indictment unsealed on Monday.

Saleh Elahwal, 53, and
Javed Iqbal, 42, were charged with providing material support to al-Manar --
branded by the United States as a foreign terrorist organization in March -- the
indictment said. Each faces a maximum of 110 years in prison if convicted of all
11 counts.

Both men pleaded not guilty during a hearing in Manhattan
federal court. Elahwal was released on $400,000 bail, while Iqbal was released
on $250,000 bail.

Lawyers for both men did not comment. The men are due
to appear again on January 8.

The U.S. Treasury Department froze the
U.S. assets of al-Manar in March, saying it supported the fund-raising and
recruitment activities of Hezbollah, a Shi'ite Muslim group backed by Syria and
Iran.

Iqbal, a Pakistani who moved to the United States 24 years ago and
lives in New York, was arrested and first charged in August with providing
satellite customers with the Hezbollah-operated channel.

According to
the new charges, between September 2005 and August 2006, the two men used the
television company they own, Brooklyn-based HDTV Ltd., to negotiate with
representatives of the al-Manar network to air the channel, according to the
indictment.

Court documents said Elahwal, who lives in New Jersey, and
Iqbal were paid by al-Manar more than $111,000 between December and March.

The channel provided wide coverage of the war between Hezbollah and
Israel last summer, broadcasting exclusive footage shot by Hezbollah guerillas.
It was attacked by Israeli airstrikes during the fighting.

I would have to wonder why, IS our Gov't Afraid that we might see something they don't want us to see. I personal watch BBC News, then show and tell more then our own news companies over here. It's about time to end this, we need to pull our men and women out and let them deal with their own problem, basically if we leave it would become a civil war... And if they want to kill each other then let them..

In today's World, if we (the US) were in a civil war do you think any of these countries would send any of their men to help us. I don't think so.. We as a Nation need to take care of our home before trying to take care of some other countries homes. Our People should be first.

What about our sick, our homeless and our poor. We can Spend 80+ billions over seas but we can't get a health care bill past over here. We can't get our poor Vets the medical and housing they need. We can't feed our hungry.

I sick and tried see the USA as the Police, Bank, Food Bank of the world. Each nation need to take care of there own..

Battle over gay marriage heats up in Massachusetts

BOSTON, Nov 9 (Reuters) - Massachusetts' lawmakers on Thursday took a giant step toward killing a proposal to ban gay marriage in the only U.S. state where it is legal.

With protesters on both sides of the debate rallying outside the gold-domed statehouse, lawmakers voted 109 to 87 to delay a decision on whether to back a constitutional amendment that would have given voters a chance to ban gay marriage.


Gay rights advocates cheered the move, seen as a crushing blow to opponents of gay marriage who had gathered 170,000 signatures in a petition that asked lawmakers to put the culturally divisive issue before voters in 2008.

By adjourning until Jan. 2, the last official day of the legislative session, the Democratic-controlled legislature virtually guarantees the proposed amendment will not be taken up and therefore be killed.

"It's a travesty, it's wrong," said Kristian Mineau, president of the Massachusetts Family Institute, a conservative Christian organization which led the petition drive. "We call on the governor to step in."

Republican Gov. Mitt Romney, a vocal opponent of gay marriage, said "the rule of law and the sovereignty of the people have been trampled" but there was little he could do to force the state's lawmakers to vote on the amendment.

"My options are limited but we will explore any alternatives that may exist to protect the constitutional rights of the people," said Romney, a Mormon millionaire who has staked out conservative positions on a number of sensitive social issues ahead of a likely 2008 presidential bid

Police Threaten Virginia Marriage Ban Opponents With Arrest

 

I wonder if law includes the Girl Scout from SELLING THEIR OVER PRICE COOKIES

 

(Richmond, Virginia) With less than a month until Virginia voters go to the polls to consider an amendment that would ban gay marriage, civil unions and likely domestic partner benefits canvassers going door to door urging people to vote against the measure in the town of Warrenton have been threatened with arrest. 

Police officers pointed to a town ordinance meant to control door-to-door salespeople.  It does not specifically mention political campaigns, and it is believed candidates running for office have not been threatened.

It is not known if other Virginia communities have similar ordinances.

On Wednesday the ACLU of Virginia began sending out letters to police chiefs throughout the state to make them aware of the rights of political canvassers.

“Door to door canvassing for political and religious purposes is carved so deeply into the American landscape that one hardly needs to invoke the Constitution to justify it,” said ACLU of Virginia executive director Kent Willis.

“Of course, it doesn’t hurt that the Supreme Court has struck down every local ordinance that attempts to interfere with this basic First Amendment right.”

Willis said that homeowners have a right to ask canvassers to leave their property, "but homeowners should not expect the police to remove canvassers from neighborhoods just because they find their presence irritating, or they don’t like the content of their message.”

A recent Mason-Dixon poll showed that 54 percent support the amendment while 40 percent said they would vote against it

Gov. Timothy M. Kaine (D) and former US Sen. John Edwards have voiced their opposition to the amendment. In addition a number of communities and business groups, mainly in northern Virginia have stated their opposition to the amendment - mainly over its provisions that would potentially affect domestic partner benefits.

Virginia's Republican Attorney General issued a legal opinion that the amendment would not bar private company domestic partner benefits, negate agreements between partners or affect non-married opposite-sex couples. (story)

"The passage of the Marriage Amendment will not affect current legal rights and obligations of unmarried persons involving contracts, wills, advance medical directives, shared equity agreements, employer accident and sickness insurance policies or protection under domestic violence laws," Bob McDonnell wrote.

But that opinion is not shared by some of the state's top legal minds, including Democratic Gov. Tim Kaine.

Following the release of McDonnell's opinion Gov. Kaine held a news conference to say he disagreed.

"The potential for unintended consequences is a very serious flaw," Kaine said, reminding reporters that the state already has legislation limiting marriage to opposite-sex couples.

Last month 100 noted Virginia attorneys, including two former attorneys general, issued a statement saying they believe the measure could be used to terminate all rights of unmarried couples who have entered into contracts on such things as wills and child custody. They also said that the amendment could be used to exclude unmarried couples from the state's domestic violence laws.

Badon presses for HIV tests in prisons

Badon presses for HIV tests in prisons
He vows to work to cut proposal's cost
Friday, September 15, 2006
By Ed Anderson
Capital bureau
BATON ROUGE -- Louisiana prison officials should be required to test all 38,000 state inmates in custody and the 15,000 who pass through the system each year for AIDS, HIV and hepatitis, Rep. Austin Badon, D-New Orleans, said Thursday.


Badon told a meeting of the House Committee on the Administration of Criminal Justice that he will file a bill for the April legislative session to make that happen.

He said the measure will start out as a carbon copy of House Bill 1166, which he filed for this year's session but did not push. He asked the committee to study the issue for debate at the session that starts April 30.

The Legislative Fiscal Office, the arm of the Legislature that analyzes the costs of proposed laws, said the cost of Badon's previous bill was about $14 million for the first year the testing and treatment program is in effect and $17 million the second year.

After that, the costs would level off to about $11.2 million a year, according to analyst Kristy Freeman.

Badon said the bill will contain language requiring prison officials to segregate inmates who test positive for the diseases, and would give prison officials the right to use "reasonable force in cases where an individual refuses to submit to (the) testing required."

"Public health issues far outweigh the privacy issues" of the individual inmates, Badon said. "These people have given up their rights (while in prison)."

One of the first things a male inmate does when released is return to his wife or girlfriend for, in many cases unprotected sexual activity, putting innocent people at risk, Badon said.

"It is a no-brainer to do what we can," he said.

He will work with Department of Public Safety and Corrections Secretary Richard Stalder and other state officials to reduce the costs of the testing and treatment, Badon said.

"The only way we can get our arms around AIDS cases is to reduce the number of new cases" and Badon's proposal takes a step in that direction, Dr. Kevin Stephens, director of the New Orleans Health Department, told the panel.

The state should have as its goal reducing the number of new HIV cases among inmates by 50 percent in five years, Stephens said.

Stalder told the committee that he can test all inmates if the Legislature approves enough money.

For Badon's previous bill, Freeman estimated that HIV and hepatitis tests cost about $40 each and treatment for various forms of hepatitis vary from $7,000 to $13,000 a year per case. HIV treatment costs run about $21,000 annually per case.

Stalder said of the 20,000 inmates in state-run prisons, 520 have been diagnosed with HIV and 390 are in treatment now.

He said the others may not want to be treated or the medicines prescribed may cause other health problems.

Stalder said there are about 2,000 inmates diagnosed with hepatitis C, but the state has financed treatment for only 55. He said many of the cases are not far enough along to be treated or "do not fit the treatment profile," including those who voluntarily agree not to take treatments or decline treatment because of the virulent drugs involved in addressing the illness.

Others, he said, will be out of jail in time to have nonprison doctors treat them.

"We cannot force treatment . . . if an individual elects not to participate" in the program, Stalder said. "The treatment for HIV and hepatitis C is very difficult. You have to be highly motivated to participate in these treatment regimens."

Stalder said his agency and the Department of Health and Hospital's Office of Public Health are looking for federal dollars to finance programs to prevent the spread of HIV, AIDS and hepatitis among inmates released by supplying them with condoms and education on ways to prevent the spread of the diseases and ways to treat them.

"Education is the key," Stalder said.

Badon said that approach won't work since most inmates released are undereducated and are used to a criminal lifestyle. As a result, mandatory testing is needed to stop the spread of the diseases, he said.

Brent Castillo: Don't Use Religion as Justification for Hate

The Wichita Eagle

http://www.topix.net/content/kri/2003987238259187411740769781743578324528

September 13, 2006

We have just enough religion to make us hate, but not enough to make us love one another.

President Bush raised some eyebrows last month when he spoke of fighting 'Islamic fascism.' Some Muslims were upset, including Parvez Ahmed, chairman of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, who said in an open letter to the president that the term 'contributes to a rising level of hostility to Islam and the American-Muslim community.'

In his Sept. 11 address, Bush toned down his description to 'perverted vision of Islam.'

I'm not a Muslim, but to me, either description seems appropriate.

The term 'fascism' was originally used by Italy's dictator, Benito Mussolini, in the 1930s and '40s, and exalted the state and race above the individual. In more recent usage, 'fascism' refers to autocratic or dictatorial control. When you combine the current usage with the fact that terrorists have justified their actions through their faith in Islam, then 'Islamic fascism' seems reasonable.

Islamic leaders such as Ahmed are rightly concerned about hostility, but his complaintswould carry more weight if the worldwide Muslim communityloudly condemned acts of terrorism and the fringe theology that condones them.

A good case study, on a much smaller scale, of how radical religion should be treated can be found here in Kansas. Fred Phelps, the Christian minister from Topeka, spews his hatred of homosexuals and our country wherever he can and to whomever he pleases. But he is roundly condemned by most Christians. Even people who agree with him in principle about the immorality of homosexuality are quick to criticize his methodology and rigid theology.

The Muslim community in Wichita has strongly condemned terrorism and the perversion of Islam. But the worldwide community needs to make a concerted, unified effort to marginalize and shrink the radical elements within its faith. Until then, the complaints about using the fascist label likely won't carry much weight with many non-Muslims.

Religion should be used to make a positive change in people. I chose Christianity because I believe its teachings are true. Millions of others have chosen Islam for the same reason. We may disagree, but we shouldn't use our faith as a justification to hate or hurt others.

Author Jonathan Swift made a wise point when he acknowledged a potential shortcoming of faith:

'We have just enough religion to make us hate, but not enough to make us love one another.'

Let's not use religion as a justification for hate. And let's not stand by as others pervert faith, using hatred for their own gain.

ACLU challenges Ohio's anti-Phelps law as too broad

 

THIS IS JUST TO SICK FOR WORDS, ACLU HELP GAYS TO GET THE VERY BASIC RIGHTS THAT EVERY HAS. THEN OTHER FACE OF THE ACLU HELP THIS ASSHOLE....

by Anthony Glassman

Cleveland--The ACLU of Ohio is challenging a new state law intended to keep a notorious anti-gay preacher from picketing the funerals of soldiers killed in Iraq.

The legislature passed the Rest in Peace Act last spring. The ACLU says the measure is overly broad and filed suit against it on August 24, shortly after it took effect.

The act was a reaction to protests by Fred Phelps’ Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kansas, an unaffiliated congregation with a history of virulently anti-gay rhetoric.

Phelps’ church, which is mostly his extended family, has traveled the country since the early 1990s, protesting funerals of people who died of AIDS and hate crime victims like Matthew Shepard. They wave signs reading “God hates fags” and “Thank God for 9/11.”

In the past year, the group has taken to picketing the funerals of soldiers killed in Iraq, promoting Phelps’ line that God is punishing soldiers because the United States shelters homosexuals and is filled with “fag enablers.”

The church’s protests led to a federal law barring demonstrations at federal cemeteries, and states across the country have passed similar measures.

Ohio’s law bans protests during funerals and an hour before or afterward, creating a 300-foot protest-free zone around the funeral home, cemetery and funeral procession.

“The ban is far too broad,” said ACLU of Ohio legal director Jeffrey Gamso. “The time restraints, free speech ‘bubble’ and the fact that it will move with the funeral procession will effectively prohibit protesting for large amounts of time in many communities around Ohio.”

“If a political group wanted to have a demonstration on Main Street and a funeral procession was driving by, they would not be permitted to continue, even if the protest has nothing to do with the funeral,” he said. “That is clearly too strict and would severely limit free speech.”

Similar laws have been challenged in other states, including Kentucky, though none of those challenges have yet been decided.

ACLU of Ohio Executive Director Chris Link brought up the example of striking workers picketing outside their place of employment. She said that, as the law stands, if a funeral procession drove by, the workers would have to stop.

The Westboro demonstrators have spurred another backlash: the Patriot Guard Riders, a group of 53,000 people nationwide who attend military funerals to show their respect and, if need be, block protesters from view.

Patriot Guard Riders were present at the funeral earlier this year of Mark Todd Shinkle, the president of the Buckeye Region American Veterans for Equal Rights.

“We do it to respect and honor the soldier and support the family,” Bob “Tater” Smith, a Sandusky veteran, told the Toledo Blade of the Patriot Guard Riders’ mission. The group has 1,600 members in Ohio.

Smith believes the Rest in Peace Act is unnecessary and will be more trouble than it’s worth.

“They threaten more than they show up,” he said of Westboro Baptist Church. “If you ignore them, they just go away. Our way costs a lot less for the taxpayers.”

Are Lance Bass and Reichen Lehmkuhl Award Worthy?

A big gay debate has been raging over the past week about whether or not Lance Bass and Reichen Lehmkuhl should be honored with a Visibility Award at the upcoming HRC National Dinner in Washington.

Longtime HRC supporter Randy Foster got the ball rolling with a Washington Blade guest editorial in which he explained why Bass/Lehmkuhl are not worthy of the honor. Foster starts off:

A FRIEND CALLED this week to ask, “Do we really have to go to the HRC Dinner? For Christ’s sake, they are honoring Lance Bass and Reichen Lehmkuhl!”

My first thought was it had to be a joke.

Foster lambasts Bass for publicly stating that the pop star has no interest in being a gay activist. About Lehmkuhl, the author says the 'Amazing Race' star is someone whose "greatest achievement since [his TV show] has been being photographed shirtless for countless gay publications."

Foster accuses HRC of honoring the pair not because they deserve it, but because their celebrity will help sell tickets and bring glamour to the organization's black-tie dinner, for which patrons (including Foster himself) pay $250 and up to attend.

HRC board member Mary Snider defended the organization's choice to honor the celebrity gay guys, writing in a letter to the editor that "HRC understands that there are many different ways to help fight ignorance and bigotry ... Lance and Reichen are just starting to speak out. We hope that they will do much more in the years ahead, using their unique status to raise awareness and open hearts and minds."

It's my opinion that one of the main problems in this particular instance is that a lot of people can't stand Lance and Reichen. If Denzel Washington had been dragged out of the closet (no, he's not gay), I rather doubt that HRC supporters would be complaining about him showing up for dinner and we wouldn't be having this discussion.

Boy-band-Lance isn't taken very seriously because, well, he was in a boy band, and he had some crazy notion about buying a flight into space, and he's only out because he was outed. Reichen, for whatever reason, turns a lot of gay men off. Perhaps HRC's biggest mistake was not anticipating those sentiments.

In HRC's defense, though, Lance and Reichen are this year's biggest gay celebrity story, even if the details and characters of the story don't exactly thrill everyone in the GLBT community.

Further, if HRC limited its Visibility Awards to openly-gay celebrities who are also accomplished gay activists, I think it's safe to say they would have a basement full of crystal trophies and few people to whom they could award them.

So then, is any celebrity visibility, good visibility? One blogger and self-avowed Bitter Queen frames the debate this way:

"Indeed, how many times have I read editorials in the gay press insisting that pop stars and other celebrities have an obligation to come out of the closet precisely because their fame alone would give a boost to our cause and provide visible role models in the community?  And now that Mr. Bass has done so, Mr. Foster diminishes the importance of that event.  Talk about damned if you do, damned if you don't."

Not everyone who reads this is going to have a lot of sympathy for those who are upset because the wrong celebrities are polluting their black-tie dinner in Washington, but that aside, where do you come down on this story: Are Lance and Reichen good or bad for gay visibility, and do they deserve this award?

Ethnic Cleansing in New Orleans

Ethnic Cleansing in New Orleans: "09/07/06 'Information Clearing House ' -- -- It was a year ago that hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast region of the USA, and left a path of death and destruction in her wake. Well over a thousand human beings lost their lives in the floods that followed the tempest. Who can say how many people lost hope in the aftermath of that terrific storm?

Had Katrina hit an area of the country crowded with golf courses and country clubs the result would have been different. People with wealth and property matter in America; those without do not. America is a land where sharp divisions of class play an important role in deciding one�s fate. People are not treated equally here; although few will openly admit it in print. We are not supposed to bring up class warfare and other embarrassing traits stemming from capitalism. After all, we call ourselves a democracy, don�t we? "

Political Ponerology

The Scientific Study of Evil Adjusted for Political Purposesby Andrew M. Lobaczewski26.00 EurosNow: 20.00 Euros (Sale Price)
The first manuscript of this book went into the fire five minutes before the arrival of the secret police in Communist Poland. The second copy, reassembled painfully by scientists working under impossible conditions of repression, was sent via a courier to the Vatican. Its receipt was never acknowledged, no word was ever heard from the courier - the manuscript and all the valuable data was lost. The third copy was produced after one of the scientists working on the project escaped to America in the 1980s. Zbigniew Brzezinski suppressed it.
Political Ponerology: The scientific study of Evil adjusted for Political Purposes was forged in the crucible of the very subject it studies. Scientists living under an oppressive regime decide to study it clinically, to study the founders and supporters of an evil regime to determine what common factor is at play in the rise and propagation of man's inhumanity to man.
Shocking in its clinically spare descriptions of the true nature of evil, poignant in the more literary passages where the author reveals the suffering experienced by the researchers who were contaminated or destroyed by the disease they were studying, this is a book that should be required reading by every citizen of every country that claims a moral or humanistic foundation. For it is a certainty that morality and humanism cannot long withstand the predations of Evil. Knowledge of its nature, how it creates its networks and spreads, how insidious is its guileful approach, is the only antidote.ISBN 1-897244-18-5

Pope Tells Canada To End Gay Marriage

(Vatican City) Pope Benedict XVI hit out Friday at Canada's laws allowing same sex marriage and abortion, saying they result from Catholic politicians ignoring the values of their religion."In the name of 'tolerance' your country has had to endure the folly of the redefinition of spouse, and in the name of 'freedom of choice' it is confronted with the daily destruction of unborn children," the pope told a group of bishops from Ontario. Such laws, he said, are the result of "the exclusion of God from the public sphere."

Just who does he think he is. if anything he need to clean his own house before telling others what to do.

Child sex-sting rabbi convicted in Virginia

SUMMARY: David A. Kaye was found guilty of two counts after a televised sting aided by the Internet watchdog group "Perverted Justice."

A Maryland rabbi caught in a nationally televised sex sting was convicted Wednesday of traveling to Virginia for sex with what he believed to be a 13-year-old boy he met over the Internet.

A federal judge in Alexandria, Va., found David A. Kaye, 56, of Rockville, Md., guilty of coercing and enticing a minor and of traveling across state lines for illegal sexual contact.
During a bench trial last month, prosecutors presented evidence of sexually graphic chats between Kaye and adults from an Internet watchdog group called Perverted Justice who were pretending to be minors.

The group was working with the NBC newsmagazine "Dateline," which paid the watchdog group to create a pedophile sting. Kaye was one of several men who showed up at a Herndon, Va., home and were confronted on camera by correspondent Chris Hansen.

U.S. District Judge James C. Cacheris wrote that prosecutors presented overwhelming evidence, including outtakes from the NBC show and a log of chats that Kaye initiated with the supposed 13-year-old. The judge noted that when confronted, Kaye told Hansen, "You know I'm in trouble. I know I'm in trouble."

Kaye acknowledged during his trial that he traveled to the home in hope of having sex, but said he always believed the person on the other end of the conversation was a young adult role-playing as a 13-year-old.

Kaye, who is divorced, acknowledged that he frequently had homosexual encounters with people he met in online chat rooms, but said none was a minor. He said he hid his homosexual activity over many decades from his wife of 30 years and from his former congregants in Potomac, Md.

In the wake of the sting, he resigned from his job as vice president of Rockville-based Jewish youth organization called PANIM: the Institute for Jewish Leaders and Values. Kaye, who has been jailed since his arrest in May, faces up to 60 years in prison when he is sentenced Dec. 1. (AP)

See it guys like this, that gives us a bad name. I also blame the cop that play a child on line to get these people in the first place.

However he should have know better, I sure he could find a guy over the age of 18 to play with.

Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie support same-sex marriage

Brad Pitt, ever the social activist, says he won't be marrying Angelina Jolie until the restrictions on who can marry whom are dropped.
"Angie and I will consider tying the knot when everyone else in the country who wants to be married is legally able," the 42-year-old actor reveals in Esquire magazine's October issue, on newsstands September 19.
In the article he reflects on "15 things I think everyone should know."
Though Shiloh, the world-famous daughter of Pitt and girlfriend–earth mother Jolie, hogged much attention upon her birth in May, Pitt says he "cannot imagine life" without adopted children Maddox, 5, and Zahara, 1.
"They're as much of my blood as any natural-born, and I'm theirs," says Pitt. "That's all I can say about it. I can't live without them. So anyone considering [adoption], that's my vote."
Pitt, who plays a world traveler in the upcoming drama Babel, subscribes to a laid-back parenting style. "I try not to stifle them in any way," he says. "If it's not hurting anyone, I want them to be able to explore. Sometimes that means they're quite rambunctious."
Lucky kids.
"I feel it's really important to have that time to sit and talk to them," he continues. "I really like that last minute before they fade off. And always give them a heads-up before you jerk them out of something. You need to tell them, like, 'You have three more minutes.' " (AP)

Well ain't that so nice of him.

Something for Bush to Put in His Big Ass Mouth

The First Known Gay

The First Known Gay Spy

Raymond Lecomte (1857-1921). As the first secretary of the French legation in Berlin, Lecomte infiltrated the homosexual clique surrounding the German Prince Philipp von Eulenburg. His discovery that Germany was bluffing in the Morocco crisis of 1906 led to a French diplomatic victory at the Algeciras Conference. This in turn led to Eulenburg’s exposure as a homosexual and his subsequent ruin. Lecomte’s activities are the first known instance of a homosexual’s using his sexual contact for espionage.
