[IndianaGreen]

What was the outcome of the case?

On edit:

House Bank Scandal, 1991-1992

Worse, Reps. Albert Bustamante (D-Texas), Carl Christopher Perkins (D-Ky.) and Mary Rose Oakar (D-Ohio) and Del. Walter Fauntroy (D-D.C.) were convicted on House bank-related charges.

Tom Ridge's October Surprise
by William Fisher

NEW YORK -- The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) is trying once again to discover who was rounded up by the Department of Homeland Security in the weeks preceding the November 2004 presidential election ”to assure the Arab-American and Muslim communities that they are not being impacted on a disproportionate basis.”

In a letter to Homeland Security (DHS), ADC President Mary Rose Oakar said, ”National origin is of great relevance in determining whether the government is discharging its law enforcement duties uniformly and neutrally, indifferent to national origin, color, race, or religious affiliation.”

”Congress did not intend to create an exemption that swallows the FOIA (freedom of information act) law,” she said. ”But that is precisely what DHS has done in this case.”
