Giant online security hole getting fixed, slowly
Wednesday, 06 August 2008 14:06

A giant vulnerability in the Internet's design is allowing criminals to 
silently redirect traffic to Web sites under their control. The problem 
is being fixed, but its extent remains unknown and many people are still 
at risk.

The gaping security hole enables a scam that targets ordinary people 
typing in a legitimate Web address. It happens because hackers are now 
able to manipulate the machines that help computers find Web sites. If 
the trick is done properly, computer users are unlikely to detect 
whether they've landed at a legitimate site or an evil double maintained 
by someone bent on fraud.

Security experts fear an open season for virus attacks and 
identity-fraud scams.

Suskind: Sources of WH forgery claim now under pressure to deny it
Wednesday, 06 August 2008 13:28

Author Ron Suskind says his sources are under "enormous pressure" to 
change their stories after revealing to him that the Bush administration 
had ordered the CIA to forge a letter from the head of Iraqi 
intelligence connecting Iraq to the 9/11 hijackers.

Suskind told NBC's Meredith Vieira on Wednesday morning, "It's 
interesting. ... Rob Richer talked to me, and actually other reporters 
too, yesterday morning. He was fine, he'd gotten the book Monday night, 
read it. And then something happened yesterday afternoon."

"It's one of these instances where you've got a few people whose 
testimony could mean the impeachment, ostensibly, of the president," 
Suskind explained. "It's enormous pressure on both men."

Kansas politician who crusaded against abortion loses big
Wednesday, 06 August 2008 10:59

For the second time in two years, voters in Kansas have handed a 
stinging defeat to Phill Kline, an anti-abortion crusader who's 
reputation was made attempting to prosecute the state's abortion 
providers, first as state attorney general, and then, after he lost 
re-election to that post, as a district attorney in suburban Kansas City.

Abortion played a key role in the race because Kline is the first 
prosecutor since Roe v. Wade to file criminal charges against a Planned 
Parenthood clinic.

Unmanned spy planes to police Britain
Wednesday, 06 August 2008 09:56

The Government is drawing up plans to use unmanned "drone" aircraft 
currently deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan to counter terrorism and aid 
police operations in Britain.

The plans have been backed by the House of Commons Defence Committee but 
have attracted criticism from civil liberties campaigners concerned 
about the implications of covert surveillance of civilians.

Gareth Crossman, director of policy at the civil rights watchdog 
Liberty, said: "The question is not so much about the technology but 
what one does with it. We have quite definite laws about where CCTV can 
be used but of course with UAVs you have much greater ability to gather 
material in private spaces and this would lead to concern."

He added: "If they are used to simply hover to gain random information 
then that would obviously be a matter of worry and a civil liberty issue."

Suit brought by 'Savage Nation' radio host tossed
Wednesday, 06 August 2008 09:54

A federal judge on Friday dismissed a lawsuit by conservative radio talk 
show host Michael Savage against a Muslim rights group that reprinted 
his attacks against Islam and called for an advertising boycott.

Savage, who has about 8 million listeners a week on 400 stations for his 
syndicated "Savage Nation" program, sued the Council on American-Islamic 
Relations in December for copyright infringement.

The organization had posted four minutes of excerpts from an Oct. 29 
broadcast in which he called the Quran a "hateful little book" and a 
"document of slavery." He said Muslims were "screaming for the blood of 
Christians or Jews or anyone they hate."
