0227 am 'Get This' news author: shrike Summary of the KBOO am news for February 27th, 2006 1. Two more people have been arrested in connection with setting a fire at a Clatskanie tree farm. Nathan Fraser and Joyanna Zacher were at home in Olympia when it happened. This brings the number of people charged in this nightmare to 14. 2. FSRN: Same sort of thing happened in Arizona. An outspoken activist there is now sitting in jail for - what else - speaking out. 3. An OSU engineering professor has invented a microreactor that puts together vegetable oil and alcohol and makes biodiesel. 4. The US Department of agriculture gave a researcher at OSU $100 thousand dollars to develop a quick test for avian flu. And not a moment too soon. The virus in birds is spreading fast and I'm betting that by the end of this year human cases will begin to proliferate. 5. Clowns Without Borders had its biggest local event of the year Saturday night. I wasn't able to attend but it sounded like fun. Just name itself; clowns without Borders. Maybe Karen Hughes can join up... 6. An environmental activist has been indicted for demonstrating how to make a firebomb - just hours after a fire destroyed an apartment complex being built nearby. Rodney Adam Coronado was charged under a law that has only been used 4 times before (But mark my word, it's going to see some heavy use in the coming years...). ELF claimed responsibility for the fire. 7. The head of California's prison system said he was resigning after two years on the job 'due to lack of political support'. Of course it had nothing to do with the bloody riots that raged all last week in Los Angeles correctional facilities and spread to other institutions throughout the states prison industry. 8. The powdery substance for on the University of Texas campus turned out not to be ricin. (Here's my question: Many garden centers all around the country sell Castor plants because they have huge brightly colored foiliage and charming little red berries - full of ricin. The plants are sold to anyone who walks in the door and even those customers trailing small children are not warned about what exactly it is they are buying. And yet it is illegal to grow hemp which has nothing of any toxicological concern whatsoever. 9. The Governors, all of them, had a little get-together with George Bush and they told the Prez that they needed some kind of policy or direction - hell, a drawing on a placemat would help - on what to do about immigration. So far, the best the country has been able to come up with was a few contingents of crazed, gun-toting militia-types. (And I guess no one had the cojones to tell Bush that with are this close to a border war with drug smugglers.) 10. FSRN: The Natural Resources Defense Council says the EPA is not doing enough to warn residents returning to New Orleans about the serious health risks. 11. Mardi Gras in underway. Most major media outlets were careful to interview people who thought that everything in New Orleans is just fine. Apparently no one invited the Natural Resources Defense Council to the party and the EPA declined to attend due to health considerations. 12. Okay, the governors were not hppy with the Leader of the Free world. But Dubai Ports International had a nice little tchatchka for him. DP World offered to submit to a broader review of security issues in its deal to take over major US port operations. (This is a sweet thing for politicians of all stripes. The extra times gives the public time to forget the whole thing and get excited about attacking Iran; the Democrats can go on record as having opposed a threat to national security; the Republicans can tell the world they care deeply about the feelings of the Arab world in general and the people who brokered the deal have been celebrating since well before Christmas). 13. Some hardcore Bush supporters appear to be losing The Faith. This hardly matters since he won't be up for election again. (Now wait just a minute. I didn't say he would still be president after 2008. All I said was he wouldn't be elected.) 14. Wednesday comes the big vote on the USA Patriot Act. 15. Two days ago just before Uganda's first multi-party election in 20 years, Ugandan police arrested Peter Waldron. Self-styled Christian evangelists, quite-possible spy, technology consultant and now terrorist. Waldrom was arrested in Kampala along with 3 Ugandan nationals, a citizen of the DRC and a huge amount of guns. (The only question I have is why would the CIA get on board with a headcase like Waldron when Musenveni was a shoo-in anyway?) 16. More than 1 thousand demonstrators chanting anti-FBI slogans and carrying Puerto Rican flags through the capital. What do they want? Firstly, they want to be an independent nation and one that does not include any major role for the FBI. When do they want it? ... ... ..Also the FBI searched five private homes and a business and - mirabile dictu - managed not to kill anyone. The reason? There had been a rumor that an attack was being planned against "privately owned interest". And we all know how strongly America feels about that sort of thing. 17. FSRN: There is a state of emergency in the Philippines. That Gloria Aroyo1 18. Rioting prisoners seized an afghan prison (Ha! Gotcha. You thought I was going to say 'a California prison') 19. Let the Trials Begin! Two alleged al Qaeda bomb-makers make their appearance before a US military tribunal (one measure of just how awful it must be in Gitmo, the prisoners are pleased and excited to be going before 'A US military tribunal.') 20. Iran reached a "basic agreement with Russia on jointly enriching uranium. 21. Thirty people have been killed in the sectarian violence going on in Iraq. (Do you believe that number? Neither do I. I believe it was much worse and I believe innocent people died in mayhem caused by the US) 22. And still no word from reporter Jill Carroll. (She must be keeping herself busy explaining to her captors just what the fuck her country thinks it is doing... .)
