Anti-Leak Law Would Give Government Too Much Power

I have to agree with the W administration's position on the proposed "leaks law." Sen.Richard Shelby, from Alabama, is the ranking Republican member on the Intelligence Committee. He has been on a mission to pass a law criminalizing all leaks of classified information. On Wednesday, the Intelligence Committee scheduled a rare public hearing.Attorney General John Ashcroft and CIA Director George Tenet were supposed to testify. But the hearing was scuttled at the last minute after W's guys told Shelby the administration wouldn't support the bill. Inevitably, if the hearing went on as scheduled, the press would have asked the administration for comment. Shelby, realizing the politics of the matter, bagged the public hearing. But Shelby is not deterred.

Pierceton Approves Rezoning For Juvenile Facility

PIERCETON - Despite protests from adjacent neighbors, the town council approved a rezoning of 60 acres to public use in the Cubs Development industrial park north of U.S.30. Lifeline Youth and Family Services Inc.'s Chief Executive Officer Mark Terrell answered questions and talked about the proposed complex Monday. The proposed facility would initially house 60 to 70 male juveniles, ages 8 to 18, in three group homes.Future plans include two more group homes, a school, a chapel and recreational facilities. "It's a secure facility, not a juvenile prison," Terrell said."They are there for two reasons.Either they made poor decisions or their parents made poor decisions.They are considered a moderate security risk." Lifeline does not accept children who need to be medicated to modify their behavior, although they may be on medication.Length of stay is from 90 days to nine months, as ordered by a judge.

- Building A Little School - School Importance - No Harassment - Views On Soc.Sec. Building A Little School Editor, Times-Union: Numerous thoughts have progressed through my mind after returning from a selected task of bringing funds and energy for the construction of a rural elementary school in Honduras.Not only did the task and time provide a growth experience, but a time of spiritual centering as well. As a group of energetic and creative persons, we came with our "weapons": shovels, a pick-axe, a wheelbarrow, spatulas, cleaning cloths, paint brushes, brooms, mops, school books and supplies.After the completion of the school we gave these weapons to the community for continued constructive uses.
