Florida let crooked brokers keep working
Sunday, 10 August 2008 10:44

When state regulators showed up at Samantha Johnson's mortgage company, 
she had already stolen her first house. She had forged documents to 
fleece lenders. She had skimmed money off a customer's loan. She had 
lied to conceal 19 questionable mortgages.

Florida regulators caught all of that, but they didn't revoke her 
license or call for a criminal investigation.
Instead, they fined her $4,300 -- less than the commission on a single 
mortgage -- and made her promise to stop breaking the law.

Pentagon Papers figure Anthony Russo dies at 71
Sunday, 10 August 2008 09:55

Anthony J. Russo, a researcher who helped leak the Vietnam-era Pentagon 
Papers to the media and prompted wider public questioning of the war, 
has died, police said.

It began when Daniel Ellsberg, a top military analyst disillusioned with 
American policy, decided to release a top-secret, 47-volume Defense 
Department study of the U.S. role in Indochina over three decades. Russo 
helped him reproduce and distribute copies of the study.

Ellsberg first offered the study to several members of Congress and 
government officials before deciding to leak it to newspapers. His 
action was branded by President Richard Nixon as treason.

The government initially tried to stop publication of the Pentagon 
Papers, first in The New York Times and then in The Washington Post, 
prompting a landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision barring prior restraint 
of free expression.

Ellsberg and Russo were subsequently charged with espionage, theft and 
conspiracy for the leak. As co-defendants, they subsequently went on 
trial in Los Angeles, where the papers had been copied.

U.S. shifts Arctic foreign policy
Sunday, 10 August 2008 08:38

In the latest sign of the rising international political stakes in the 
Arctic, the top U.S. Coast Guard official has revealed a planned shift 
in American foreign policy from scientific research to "sovereignty" and 
"security presence" in Alaskan waters bordering Canadian and Russian 
territory.

And to underscore growing U.S. concerns over its aging polar icebreaking 
fleet and suspect capacity for Arctic surveillance, Homeland Security 
director Michael Chertoff slipped quietly into Alaska on Friday to 
assess the coast guard's northern operations.
