WSVN-TV – Family says feds wrongfully raided home

”

HIALEAH, Fla. (WSVN) — A family is claiming federal agents raided
their house when they were looking for someone who was not there.

The
Boveda family said federal agents raided and ransacked their home
Thursday morning. Even the front window was smashed. Broken glass was
scattered across the floor and nearly every door in the house was busted
open. Even their closets were cracked.

“I can’t believe what I
was seeing. I said don’t break the window, I’ll open the door for you,
but you got the wrong house, you got the wrong house,” said Orlando
Boveda.

Federal agents said the raid was part of a larger
operation to arrest alleged drug smugglers, and the house they raided
was the last known address of a suspect who they were looking for.”

U.S. closes consulate in Mexico’s Ciudad Juarez | Reuters

(Reuters) – The U.S. government has shut indefinitely its consulate in Mexico’s most violent drug war city Ciudad Juarez, across from El Paso, Texas, to evaluate security conditions.

The U.S. embassy in Mexico City said in a statement on Thursday that the Ciudad Juarez consulate would “remain closed until the security review is completed.”

A U.S. enforcement official who declined to be named said the consulate had closed after receiving a “credible threat” but did not have more details. The embassy was not immediately available for comment.

It is not the first time the consulate, which processes Mexicans looking to travel or emigrate to the United States, has been shuttered. It closed briefly in March after three people connected to the consulate were murdered by drug hitmen.

WikiLeaks: We Don’t Know Source Of Leaked Documents

LONDON — WikiLeaks’ editor-in-chief claims his organization doesn’t
know who sent it some 91,000 secret U.S. military documents, telling
journalists that the Web site was set up to hide the source of its data
from those who receive it.

Julian Assange didn’t say whether he meant he had no idea who leaked
the documents or whether his organization simply could not be sure. But
he did say the added layer of secrecy helps protect the site’s sources
from spy agencies and hostile corporations.

“We never know the source of the leak,” he told journalists
gathered at London’s Frontline Club late Tuesday. “Our whole system is
designed such that we don’t have to keep that secret.”

Law enforcement agencies actually paid crook to sponsor “seminars” used to hook his marks

Investment broker Kenneth Wayne McLeod was found dead, Vince Foster-style, inside his SUV in a park in southeast Jacksonville, Fla., on June 22.

The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Department said he died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to media reports. A rumor now popular among some federal law enforcement agents casts a bit of bitter irony over McLeod’s fate, indicating that he killed himself with a pistol given to him by the DEA to commemorate his years of service to the agency.

Whether that rumor has any basis in reality is not clear, but it speaks volumes about how some law enforcers feel about what McLeod did to a number of DEA agents, as well as dozens of other former and retired federal agents.

McLeod’s death came only some five days after he confessed to Securities and Exchange Commission investigators that he had been operating a 22-year-long Ponzi scheme that had victimized hundreds of government employees, primarily federal law enforcement agents.

Valerie Plame Wilson: How to Dismantle 23,000 Atom Bombs | Mother Jones

Valerie Plame Wilson suddenly went from being a CIA covert operations officer to a household name in the summer of 2003, when the Bush administration outed her to the press in retribution for her husband, former ambassador Joe Wilson, dismantling its shaky claims about Saddam Hussein’s nuclear ambitions. After unwillingly becoming a public figure, Plame laid low for a couple of years. But now she’s lent her expertise as an expert on nuclear proliferation to Countdown to Zero, the new documentary from the makers of An Inconvenient Truth that aims to jumpstart a post-Cold War movement to ban the bomb. (See David Corn’s recent article on the making of the film.) The film will leave you wondering why one of the world’s 23,000 nuclear bombs hasn’t already gone off—and how much longer it is until one does.

The mystery over the death of David Kelly took a further twist last night after a former KGB officer said he had evidence that the scientist did not commit suicide.

Boris Karpichkov, who worked as a Russian spy for 15 years before fleeing to Britain, has sent a dossier to Attorney General Dominic Grieve in which he claims to relay information from an ‘MI5 agent’ that Dr Kelly had been ‘exterminated’.
