Turney JUSTICE UP IN SMOKE The loophole used by our federal government to withhold information from jurors was flat-out wrong. Regardless of one's personal opinion of state vs. federal rights, the manipulation of the facts of this case should send a shudder through anyone even remotely concerned with the federal government's administering of the Homeland Security Act. In the United States, the means are equally as important as the ends. - - Michael L. Turney, Diamond Springs - --- MAP posted-by: Jay Bergstrom
