One of the pieces of evidence linking John Karr to the death of Jon Benet Ramsey was the government's intervention/viewing of e mails.

We all know how certain words will trigger of an investigation regarding crimes and terrorism. And perhaps, considering the consequences and intent, the government must do all it can to win the war on terror and apprehand criminals.

With the President of the United States in charge of the Internet, is our personal/national security and Constitutional freedoms being properly handled ?

Do you have any thoughts on the matter ?

Does it bother you to know the government may be viewing your e mails ?

to make weekly, biweekly or monthy televised appearances to share what is going on in the country and address problems?
I understand that we have press conferences, and other speeches, but those are few and far between. I feel that if we had more face time with our leaders people would be more inclined to participate in their government.

I have seen this in other countries and would love to have it in the US!

thoughts?

it seems like people want to overwork teachers, and parents take control of the school system. Maybe if you parent you children correctly, and not give Johnney whatever he wants, then we can live in a peaceful society. LAY OFF THE TEACHERS!!!

Saddam Hussein is NOT Osama Bin Laden
Neither is Zarqawi, or any of the other scum arrested.

Don't you think in saying "I don't care where Bin Laden is" (and he did say it, find the video online), Bush basically said F-You to the 9/11 victims?

The Global Islamic population is approximately 1,200,000,000, or 20% of the world population. They have received total of 7 Nobel Prizes.
The Global Jewish population is approximately 14,000,000, or about 0.02% of the world population. They have received the total of 127 Nobel Prizes.
* The Jews are not promoting brain washing the children in military training camps, teaching them how to blow themselves up and cause maximum deaths of Jews and other non Muslims.
* The Jews don't hijack planes, nor kill athletes at the Olympics.
* The Jews don't traffic slaves, nor have leaders calling for Jihad and death to all the Infidels.
Regardless of your feelings about the crisis between Israel and the and the arabs, the following two sentences really say it all:
If the Arabs put down their weapons today, there would be no more violence in the world.
If the Jews put down their weapons today, there would be no more Israel .

1. If a bulletproof vest fails to stop a bullet, do you still call it a bulletproof vest? 2. If it fails to stop a bullet, is that considered false advertising, afterall, they did say it was bulletproof?

Neighbor charged in death of Bellevue woman in home
Police say suspected illegal immigrant admitted killing

By CHRISTIAN BOTTORFF
Staff Writer


The remnants of a brutal and lengthy fight were scattered throughout Mary Sadler's 229 Cross Timbers Drive home on Tuesday.

Police found Sadler's cockatiel, Aussie, cowering in a corner with a broken wing. The bird later died at an emergency clinic.




A glass panel from a grandfather clock was shattered. A mirror in the front foyer was cracked, and glass spilled out onto the floor.

Nearby, police found Sadler, 74, dead, her beaten and bloody body by a rear sliding-glass door inside the home.

"It was one hell of a fight," her grandson-in-law, Paul Woods, said Tuesday as he helped clean debris from the living room. "I think she did a good job for being 74 years old and trying to defend herself."

According to Metro police, the man who on Monday killed Sadler, and perhaps Sadler's bird, was Ivan Moreno, 30, a next-door neighbor.

Moreno, who is thought to be an illegal immigrant from Mexico, admitted to police that he struck Sadler after he went to her house to get money, said Metro police spokesman Don Aaron.

Moreno was arrested yesterday on a charge of criminal homicide.

He also faces two charges of assaulting police officers during his arrest and a domestic assault charge after threatening his wife in Spanish that he would kill her if she cooperated with authorities, police said.

Moreno's possible illegal presence in the country was a sore spot yesterday for Sadler's family and neighbors. They expressed contempt for landlords who rented a duplex to Moreno and his family.

Police initially said Sadler had been beaten to death, but an autopsy yesterday found that she had also been strangled, Aaron said.

It was not clear exactly what touched off the violence inside the home. Moreno had gone to Sadler's house to ask for money.

Sometime after the killing, he went to a Mapco on Highway 70 South where he became belligerent after being refused cigarettes because he didn't have enough money, police said.

Moreno left the Mapco before police arrived and drove back to his neighborhood. Neighbors saw him driving recklessly through yards and called police.

Officers arrived at Cross Timbers Drive to find his car abandoned with a shredded tire, police said.

He was identified moments later and found to have an outstanding warrant for failing to show up in court in June on a charge of driving without a license, police said.

Officers went to his home at 233 Cross Timbers Drive, but Moreno wasn't there. As they prepared to leave, they spotted him behind Sadler's home with blood on his clothes, police said.

According to police, Moreno kicked two officers who tried to arrest him.

Moreno appears to have used false documents and a fake name to land a job at a West End Avenue restaurant, police said. Federal authorities are working to determine his immigration status.

The killing prompted a joint statement by Metro police Chief Ronal Serpas, Sheriff Daron Hall and District Attorney General Torry Johnson, announcing plans to reform the way criminal immigrants are handled in Nashville.

"While it is premature at this point to announce any plans or initiatives, suffice it to say that the three of us are working closely with the federal government to develop a system to better protect our citizens from immigrants who commit criminal acts and show a blatant disregard for our laws," the statement said.

Investigators have said they didn't know of any animosity between Moreno and Sadler before Monday, though a police spokesman said a hand-held video game and other undisclosed items from Sadler's home were found in Moreno's home, police said.

Sadler's family and neighbors yesterday told The Tennessean there had been disputes between them.

One recent spat involved one of Moreno's children shooting a BB gun at tomatoes in Sadler's back yard, a family member said.

Police yesterday declined to comment about that.

"We are still early in the investigation," Aaron said. "We will be talking to Mrs. Sadler's family in more detail."
