After taking a year to research and write a paper for the Cato Institute on the proliferation of forced-entry, paramilitary-style raids, I'm sorry to say Johnston is just one of at least 40 innocent people killed in botched raids over the last 20 years in America. Worse, there are dozens more cases of low-level offenders, bystanders �- and police officers killed or injured.
[...]
Even assuming that the police in the Johnston case are telling the truth and the informant is lying ... Atlanta police still then concede that they conducted a high-stakes, forced-entry raid on a private residence, based solely on the word of an informant they now say is a liar and a career criminal. That's a terrifying thought. |

"The Justice Department is building a massive database that allows state and local police officers around the country to search millions of case files from the FBI, Drug Enforcement Administration and other federal law enforcement agencies, according to Justice officials."
"The system, known as 'OneDOJ,' already holds approximately 1 million case records. ... The files include investigative reports, criminal-history information, details of offenses, and the names, addresses and other information of criminal suspects or targets, officials said." [emphasis added] ...
"Eventually, the department hopes, the database will be a central mechanism for sharing federal law enforcement information with local and state investigators, who now run checks individually, and often manually, with Justice's five main law enforcement agencies: the FBI, the DEA, the U.S. Marshals Service, the Bureau of Prisons and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives." ... |

The National Rifle Association has released an illustrated hit list of groups it is positioning against as it ironically scaremongers about "Freedom in Peril." In conjunction with recent government green scare repression and the work of corporate PR front groups like the Orwellianly-named Center for Consumer Freedom, the NRA has taken its cue to pile on environmental and animal activists in its fundraising appeals to "patriots of financial position." From democrats to dark-skinned "illegal alien gangs" to wealthy Jews to Katrina looters to the media (or carnage pornographers), the NRA leaves no potential boogeyman stone unturned. You have to see it to believe it. |

The waning days of any year are a time for reflection, and 2006 is especially personal since this month marks my 40th anniversary in newspapers. It was also a year when two of the area's best handgunners, Gary Shear of Harpursville and Harvie Loomis of Newark Valley, won national recognition as members of the championship 5-man New York Scotto (High Master category) team in the National Open .22 caliber Team Championships at Camp Perry Ohio in July. |

When righting yourself after a downturn in life, it is best to first take an honest inventory to understand how your own actions influenced the outcome. It may seem emotionally easier to blame outside influences, but professional victims do not expend any effort to improve their lot in life, expecting somebody else to straighten things out instead. This runs counter to liberty, where personal freedom is reflected by an equal amount of personal responsibility. So we need to see exactly where we stand before we plan our recovery from the 2006 elections.

"...We must introduce the Checks, which will destroy the measures of an interested majority . . . . for the safety of a minority in Danger of oppression from an unjust and interested majority..."
"...Judges will have the expounding of those Laws when they come before them; and they will no doubt stop the operation of such as shall appear repugnant to the constitution..."
"...This invincible principle is to be found in the love, the affection, the attachment of the citizens to their laws, to their freedom, and to their country. Every husbandman will be quickly converted into a soldier when he knows and feels that he is to fight not in defence of the rights of a particular family, or a prince, but for his own..."

CARTERET - Julio Camacho fell asleep early on Christmas Eve, knowing his family was together and happy. They had just celebrated his mother's 89th birthday, and were looking towards unwrapping gifts and a big dinner at his Middlesex County home.
