still concerned about situation w. Leonard Peltier
I haven't had a chance to talk to my friend who usually knows more. On the Peltier website we have this:

http://lpdcinc.blogspot.com/2005/07/leonard-peltier-denied-basic-rights-un.html




Last Thursday, June 30th, in a move that Russell Redner, Executive Director of the LPDC, describes as "extraordinary domestic rendition", Mr. Peltier was transferred without notice to his attorneys or his family from the United States Federal Prison at Leavenworth Kansas to the United States Federal Prison at Terre Haute Indiana. He is arbitrarily being held there in solitary confinement indefinitely with the resulting suspension of all his prisoner privileges and basic human rights. He was a well-respected model prisoner at Leavenworth, he is an elder, has many serious health problems, and poses no threat to the system. "There is no real basis for subjecting him to this kind of treatment" affirms Barry Bachrach, his lead counsel.


I don't know the point or rationale of such treatment. My understanding is that he has been very ill in the past. He may be ill now.

1. That makes me very sad. He should have been pardoned by Clinton.
Enough is enough.

2. I don't understand this but I know that Nixon loathed Indians and he's
their scapegoat. What a total shame.
