Hillary: woman with strained relationship with truth & “a very airbrushed view of herself”
During his research, Bernstein made a number of discoveries that clashed with the New York senator’s own account of her life. These include the fact that her father “humiliated and abused” his wife, that she kept failure in her bar exam secret for 30 years, and the extraordinary lengths she went to to suppress the details of her husband’s infidelities, which repeatedly threatened to derail his political career. This she did not only by hiring private detectives to investigate his lovers, but also by obtaining signed legal statements from them saying that they had not had sex with her husband.

Beam It Down From the Web, Scotty
PASADENA, Calif. — Sometimes a particular piece of plastic is just what you need. You have lost the battery cover to your cellphone, perhaps. Or your daughter needs to have the golden princess doll she saw on television. Now.
In a few years, it will be possible to make these items yourself. You will be able to download three-dimensional plans online, then push Print. Hours later, a solid object will be ready to remove from your printer.
It’s not quite the transporter of “Star Trek,” but it is a step closer.
Three-dimensional printers have been seen in industrial design shops for about a decade. They are used to test part designs for cars, airplanes and other products before they are sent to manufacturing. Once well over $100,000 each, such machines can now be had for $15,000. In the next two years, prices are expected to fall further, putting the printers in reach of small offices and even corner copy stores.
The next frontier will be the home. One company that wants to be the first to deliver a 3-D printer for consumers is Desktop Factory , started by IdeaLab, a technology incubator here. The company will start selling its first printer for $4,995 this year.
The Pirate Bay piraté
Des pirates ont réussi à voler une liste contenant 1,6 million de noms d’utilisateurs et de mots de passe appartenant aux internautes enregistrés au site The Pirate Bay.
Le site Internet, qui recense les fichiers de partage Bit Torrent, a annoncé sur son site Internet qu’un groupe appelé «Arga Unga Hackare» («Jeunes pirates en colère») avait réussi à s’emparer des informations.
«Ils ont une copie de notre base de données d’utilisateurs. C’est-à-dire, votre nom d’usager et votre mot de passe. Mais les mots de passe sont encryptés», dit The Pirate Bay sur son blogue ( https://thepiratebay.am/blog/68 ), qui précise: «ils sont très encryptés».
Un des responsables du site, Peter, a affirmé à un média suédois que les pirates avaient profité d’un «bogue de programmation», mais que celui-ci a été réparé.
N’empêche, le site Internet encourage ses utilisateurs à changer leurs mots de passe aussi vite que possible et, s’ils ont le même mot de passe à plusieurs endroits, à changer ceux-ci également.
Mon point par rapport a ca: pourquoi est-ce qu’ont utilise les médias canadiens pour essayer de retrouver un gars qui faisait du vol à l’étalage. Est-ce la vraie raison? Si oui, est-ce que c’est si plate que ça à Sherbrooke? Qu’elle est la vraie raison?

Était-il vraiment en train de magasiner?
Que faisait cet homme dans ayant l’air de faire son magasinage dans les allées d’une pharmacie? Du côté du Service de police de Sherbrooke, on croit qu’il s’adonnait à du vol à l’étalage.
Le suspect a été capté par des caméras de surveillance le 24 février dernier, vers 10 h, à la Pharmacie Fortier et Toutant (située au 103, rue Saint-Lambert à Sherbrooke). On rapporte à ce moment un vol à l’étalage.
Le SPS demande donc la collaboration du public afin d’identifier le suspect, un homme de race blanche d’environ 40 ans.
Il mesure 1,72 mère et pèse 85 kilos. Ses cheveux sont bruns.
Pour toute information à ce sujet, on peut contacter les enquêtes du SPS au 819 821-5544.

A roundhouse kick to credit card companies
Posted: March 19, 2007

Though the fastest growing form of slavery is trafficking (recruited or forced transport of people into various types of oppression), the most common form of slavery is debt bondage, which ensnares tens of millions of people in loans they can never pay off.
Debt laborers
The slope to debt bondage (also known as “bonded labor”) begins by the simple slip of one assuming some form of debt as a term for employment. Once employed, the terms change and become more restrictive, the debt grows, and the employer takes coercive advantage over the employee. As time progresses, so do unfair work conditions and labor hours, and the balance due, accruing with insurmountable interest rates, hardly ever (if not never) reduces.

Virginia Introduces $3550 Speeding Ticket
Virginia legislator introduces new speeding ticket tax that boosts penalties beyond $3550, driving business to his traffic law firm.
Virginia motorists convicted of minor traffic violations will face a new, multi-year tax beginning July 1. Led by state Delegate David B. Albo (R-Springfield), lawmakers slipped a driver responsibility tax into a larger transportation funding bill signed by Governor Tim Kaine (D) in April. Albo, a senior partner in the Albo & Oblon, LLP traffic law firm, can expect to see a significant increase in business as motorists seek to protect their wallet from traffic tickets that come with assessments of up to $3000 in addition to an annual point tax that tops out at $700 a year for as long as the points remain.

Documents show US had propaganda campaign plan two months before invasion
Months before the US invaded Iraq, Pentagon planners were developing an elaborate propaganda campaign to ensure US government-“approved” information was broadcast to the Iraqi public, according to a previously classified White Paper released Tuesday by the independent National Security Archives.
The White Paper, prepared in January 2003, lays out plans to install American-friendly media with an Iraqi face and to silence local anti-US news outlets, referred to in the paper as “hate media.” Also released by the National Security Archives were a Power Point presentation outlining the goals of the media plan and other briefing materials.
Transformation of Iraq’s media would be accomplished by a Rapid Reaction Media Team, which planners envisioned as a bridge between the state-controlled outlets of Saddam Hussein’s regime and a long-term “Iraqi Free Media” network, which would broadcast America-friendly programming.

President Bush has signed a directive granting extraordinary powers to the office of the president in the event of a declared national emergency, apparently without congressional approval or oversight.

It was issued with the dual designation of NSPD-51, as a National Security Presidential Directive, and HSPD-20, as a Homeland Security Presidential Directive.
WTC: accord sur les indemnités versées
New York
Le détenteur du bail du World Trade Center et ses assureurs ont trouvé un accord, mettant un terme à près de six ans de conflit sur la question des indemnités liées à la destruction du site le 11 Septembre 2001, a annoncé mercredi le gouverneur de New York.
Selon cet accord, qui met fin aux actions judiciaires en cours, les sept compagnies d’assurance s’engagent à payer 2 milliards de dollars de montant restant dû, au promoteur Larry Silverstein, détenteur du bail du WTC, en plus de quelque 2 milliards précédemment versés.
À l’issue de plusieurs recours, la justice avait déjà déterminé que la société Silverstein pouvait espérer jusqu’à 4,68 milliards. Jusqu’à présent, environ seule la moitié de cette somme avait été réglée, les assureurs contestant le versement du reste.
Dès après les attaques, le désaccord était apparu sur le montant des indemnités, Silverstein soulignant que les lieux ayant été victimes de deux attentats, cela signifiait toucher deux fois l’indemnité, soit deux fois 3,5 mds de dollars.

De nouveaux détecteurs de mensonge high tech
Suzanne Schafer
Fort Jackson, Caroline du Sud
À l’«école du détecteur de mensonge», sur une base de l’armée américaine, on ne se contente pas de former des spécialistes capables de manier ces machines. On mène également des recherches sur de nouveaux systèmes sophistiqués censés permettre de confondre les menteurs.
L’Académie de la défense pour l’évaluation de la crédibilité (Defense Academy for Credibility Assessment – DACA), basée à Fort Jackson (Caroline du Sud), forme des experts au maniement du polygraphe, ou détecteur de mensonge, pour le compte de l’armée américaine et de 23 agences fédérales.
Une centaine de nouveaux experts du polygraphe, appelés «examinateurs», sortent chaque année de ce centre du département de la Défense. La DACA dispense également une grande partie des 80 heures de remise à niveau que chacun des 650 «examinateurs» travaillant pour les autorités américaines doit suivre une fois tous les deux ans.
Les «élèves» apprennent à étudier la tension, le rythme de la respiration et l’activité des glandes à l’origine de la transpiration, autant d’indicateurs supposés permettre de découvrir les signes d’un possible mensonge chez la personne interrogée. La formation dure 14 semaines.
Les soldats de la base servent de «cobayes». Reliés à des capteurs, les militaires sont interrogés lors d’exercices filmés, le détail de certaines de leurs réactions physiologiques apparaissant sur des écrans de contrôle. «Nos étudiants doivent apprendre à poser les bonnes questions pour voir si les soldats disent vrai ou pas», explique Bill Norris, directeur de la DACA.
Parallèlement, des chercheurs de l’académie testent de nouveaux appareils expérimentaux. La technique de l’imagerie thermique, qui mesure la température du visage de la personne interrogée à l’aide d’une caméra spéciale, est prometteuse par sa capacité à associer mensonge et changement de température de la peau, selon M. Norris.
Une autre technologie porte sur l’étude du mouvement de l’oeil devant une scène familière ou inhabituelle. «Les enquêteurs pourraient peut-être utiliser cette technique en montrant par exemple à une personne la photo d’une scène de crime» pour voir si elle la reconnaît, précise M. Norris.
Les chercheurs étudient également un système de «vibrométrie laser Doppler» qui analyse la contraction des muscles, la respiration et l’activité cardiovasculaire. Un laser pourrait ainsi être dirigé vers une artère du cou pour étudier le flux sanguin du sujet à distance, explique Debra Krikorian, biologiste moléculaire de la DACA.
Les cyberattaques sont-elles du terrorisme?
AFP
07 juin 2007 – 14h45
L’Estonie proposera à la réunion des ministres de la justice de l’Union européenne la semaine prochaine que les cyberattaques soient considérées par l’UE comme des actes de terrorisme, a indiqué jeudi le ministre estonien de la justice, Rein Lang.
«Nous sommes partisans d’assimiler de telles choses à des actes terroristes, comme le font maintenant les Américains», a déclaré M. Lang lors d’une conférence de presse.
«Je m’attends à une discussion très intéressante sur ce point» lors de la réunion mercredi, a-t-il ajouté.
Le Premier ministre estonien Andrus Ansip a réitéré lors de la même conférence de presse ses accusations selon lesquelles plusieurs attaques informatiques contre des sites d’institutions estoniennes, survenues après le déplacement fin avril d’un monument soviétique à Tallinn, étaient lancées depuis les ordinateurs du Kremlin.
MM. Lang et Ansip ont affirmé que ces attaques, indépendamment du fait que le Kremlin en soit conscient ou non, avaient été bien organisées et constituaient une grave atteinte à la sécurité.
«Ces attaques sont venues directement des adresses IP du bureau du président russe», a affirmé M. Ansip.
«Si les ordinateurs (du Kremlin) étaient utilisés non-intentionnellement, cela veut dire que les ordinateurs de l’administration russe peuvent servir à des attaques criminelles», a déclaré M. Lang.
Moscou a démenti une quelconque implication dans les cyberattaques massives qui avaient forcé les autorités estoniennes à fermer temporairement l’accès à leurs sites internet. Plusieurs attaques avaient aussi visé des intérêts privés, comme les banques.

Reporter Arrested on Orders of Giuliani Press Secretary Charged with Criminal Trespass Despite Protest of CNN Staff and Official Event Press Credentials at GOP Debate in New Hampshire
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOerYpJse30
Manchester, NH – Freelance reporter Matt Lepacek, reporting for Infowars.com, was arrested for asking a question to one of Giuliani’s staff members in a press conference. The press secretary identified the New York based reporter as having previously asked Giuliani about his prior knowledge of WTC building collapses and ordered New Hampshire state police to arrest him.
Jason Bermas, reporting for America: Freedom to Fascism, confirmed Lepacek had official CNN press credentials for the Republican debate. However, his camera was seized by staff members who shut off the camera, according to Luke Rudkowski, also a freelance Infowars reporter on the scene. He said police physically assaulted both reporters after Rudkowski objected that they were official members of the press and that nothing illegal had taken place. Police reportedly damaged the Infowars-owned camera in the process.
Reporters were questioning Giuliani staff members on a variety of issues, including his apparent ignorance of the 9/11 Commission Report, according to Bermas. The staff members accused the reporters of Ron Paul partisanship, which press denied. It was at this point that Lepacek, who was streaming a live report, asked a staff member about Giuliani’s statement to Peter Jennings that he was told beforehand that the WTC buildings would collapse.
Le FBI s’attaque aux PC zombies
Marie-Eve Morasse
14 juin 2007 – 16h17
La police fédérale américaine a recensé plus d’un million d’ordinateurs qui servent de PC zombies aux criminels qui oeuvrent sur Internet.
C’est dans le cadre de son opération «Bot Roast» que le FBI a trouvé des réseaux d’ordinateurs zombies qui permettent d’envoyer des millions de pourriels, de voler des identités et d’attaquer des sites Web.
Les propriétaires de ces ordinateurs, dont on a retracé les adresses IP, seront contactés par le FBI, qui estime qu’il s’agit une «menace grandissante à la sécurité nationale».
«La majorité des victimes ne sont même pas au courant que leur ordinateur a été attaqué ou que leur information personnelle est utilisée», dit James Finch, co-directeur de la division informatique au FBI.
Bien qu’elle ait l’intention de contacter les gens dont les ordinateurs ont été infectés, la police fédérale américaine avertit toutefois qu’elle ne contacte jamais les gens par Internet et qu’elle ne demande pas d’informations personnelles.
«Méfiez-vous des fraudeurs qui demandent ce type d’information, surtout par courriel», écrit le FBI dans un communiqué.
Le FBI exhorte en outre les gens à protéger leurs ordinateurs en installant des antivirus efficaces et en étant vigilants dans leur utilisation d’Internet.
Jusqu’ici, l’opération «Bot Roast» a mené à l’arrestation de trois personnes qui auraient utilisé des réseaux de PC zombies à des fins criminelles.
La plus connue des trois personnes arrêtées est sans doute Robert Soloway, 27 ans, surnommé le «roi du pourriel».
L’homme de Seattle aurait utilisé des PC zombies pour envoyer des millions de pourriels entre 2003 et 2007.

DHS Acknowledges Own Computer Break-Ins
By TED BRIDIS
Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Homeland Security Department, the lead U.S. agency for fighting cyber threats, suffered more than 800 hacker break-ins, virus outbreaks and other computer security problems over two years, senior officials acknowledged to Congress.
In one instance, hacker tools for stealing passwords and other files were found on two internal Homeland Security computer systems. The agency’s headquarters sought forensic help from the department’s own Security Operations Center and the U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team it operates with Carnegie Mellon University.
In other cases, computer workstations in the Coast Guard and the Transportation Security Administration were infected with malicious software detected trying to communicate with outsiders; laptops were discovered missing; and agency Web sites suffered break-ins.
The chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., said such problems undermine the government’s efforts to encourage companies and private organizations to improve cyber security.
“What the department is doing on its own networks speaks so loudly that the message is not getting across,” Thompson said.
Congressional investigators, expected to testify Wednesday during an oversight hearing about the department’s security lapses, determined that persistent weaknesses “threaten the confidentiality, integrity and availability of key DHS information and information systems,” according to a new report from the Government Accountability Office being released later in June.
The Homeland Security Department’s chief information officer, Scott Charbo, assured lawmakers his organization was working to prevent such problems.
“We need to increase our vigilance to ensure that such incidents do not happen again,” Charbo wrote in testimony prepared for Wednesday’s hearing. “The department takes these incidents very seriously and will work diligently to ensure they do not recur.”
The computer problems disclosed to the House Homeland Security subcommittee occurred during fiscal 2005 and fiscal 2006, and occurred at DHS headquarters and many of the department’s agencies, including TSA, the Coast Guard, Federal Emergency Management Agency, Customs and Border Protection and others.
The subcommittee’s chairman, Rep. Jim Langevin, D-R.I., said break-ins to government computer networks and theft of information are “one of the most critical issues confronting our nation, and we must deal with this threat immediately.”
All the problems involved the department’s unclassified computer networks, although DHS officials also have acknowledged to lawmakers dozens of incidents they described as “classified spillage,” in which secret information was improperly transmitted or discussed over nonsecure e-mail systems.

How to Identify Misinformation
How can a journalist or a news consumer tell if a story is true or false? There are no exact rules, but the following clues can help indicate if a story or allegation is true.
- Does the story fit the pattern of a conspiracy theory?
- Does the story fit the pattern of an “urban legend?”
- Does the story contain a shocki ng revelation about a highly controversial issue?
- Is the source trustworthy?
- What does further research tell you?
Does the story fit the pattern of a conspiracy theory?
Does the story claim that vast, powerful, evil forces are secretly manipulating events? If so, this fits the profile of a conspiracy theory. Conspiracy theories are rarely true, even though they have great appeal and are often widely believed. In reality, events usually have much less exciting explanations.
The U.S. military or intelligence community is a favorite villain in many conspiracy theories.
For example, the Soviet disinformation apparatus regularly blamed the U.S. military or intelligence community for a variety of natural disasters as well as political events. In March 1992, then-Russian foreign intelligence chief Yevgeni Primakov admitted that the disinformation service of the Soviet KGB intelligence service had concocted the false story that the AIDS virus had been created in a US military laboratory as a biological weapon. When AIDS was first discovered, no one knew how this horrifying new disease had arisen, although scientists have now used DNA analysis to determine that “all HIV-1 strains known to infect man” are closely related to a simian immunodeficiency virus found in a western equatorial African chimpanzee, Pan troglodytes troglodytes. But the Soviets used widespread suspicions about the U.S. military to blame it for AIDS. (More details on this.)
In his book 9/11: The Big Lie, French author Thierry Meyssan falsely claimed that no plane hit the Pentagon on September 11, 2001. Instead, he claimed that the building had been struck by a cruise missile fired by elements within the U.S. government. No such vast conspiracy existed and many eyewitness accounts and evidence gathered on the scene confirmed that the hijacked airliner had struck the building. But, nevertheless, the book was a best-seller in France and has been translated into 19 languages, demonstrating the power that even the most groundless conspiracy theories can have. (More details on 9/11: The Big Lie.)
Does the story fit the pattern of an “urban legend?”
Is the story startlingly good, bad, amazing, horrifying, or otherwise seemingly “too good” or “too terrible” to be true? If so, it may be an “urban legend.” Urban legends, which often circulate by word of mouth, e-mail, or the Internet, are false claims that are widely believed because they put a common fear, hope, suspicion, or other powerful emotion into story form.
For example, after the September 11 attacks, a story arose that someone had survived the World Trade Center collapse by “surfing” a piece of building debris from the 82nd floor to the ground. Of course, no one could survive such a fall, but many initially believed this story, out of desperate hope that some people trapped in the towers miraculously survived their collapse.

Another September 11 urban legend is that an undamaged Bible was found in the midst of the crash site at the Pentagon. In reality, it was a dictionary. But, if a Bible had survived unscathed, that would have seemed much more significant, and been seen by many as a sign of divine intervention.

Since 1987, the false story that Americans or others are kidnapping or adopting children in order to use them in organ transplants has been widely believed. There is absolutely no evidence that any such event has ever occurred, but such allegations have won the most prestigious journalism prizes in France in 1995 and Spain in 1996. (More details on this.)
This urban legend is based on fears about both organ transplantation and international adoptions, both of which were relatively new practices in the 1980s. As advances in medical science made organ transplantation more widespread, unfounded fears began to spread that people would be murdered for their organs. At the same time, there were also unfounded fears about the fate of infants adopted by foreigners and taken far from their home countries. The so-called “baby parts” rumor combined both these fears in story form, which gave it great credibility even though there was absolutely no evidence for the allegation.
In late 2004, a reporter for Saudi Arabia’s Al Watan newspaper repeated a version of the organ trafficking urban legend, falsely claiming that U.S. forces in Iraq were harvesting organs from dead or wounded Iraqis for sale in the United States. This shows how the details of urban legends can change, to fit different circumstances. (More det
