Nazi records of day-to-day hell to open to researchers

In the concentration camps, unlike the extermination camps, everything was carefully recorded," said Udo Jost, archive manager for the tracing section of the International Committee of the Red Cross that oversees a gigantic archive whose millions of files have for six decades been kept largely hidden from public view. The documents, captured by Allied troops and held in London before being moved to this central-west German spa town after World War II, fill some 16 miles of file drawers and shelf space behind the bland exterior walls of a former SS barracks.

Former RNC official sentenced to prison for 'phone jam' plot

"A former Republican National Committee official was sentenced Wednesday to 10 months in prison for his role in the jamming of New Hampshire Democrats' telephones on Election Day 2002," reports the Associated Press.

"Prosecutors said [James Tobin] helped arrange more than 800 hang-up calls that jammed get-out-the-vote phone lines set up by the state Democratic Party and the Manchester firefighters' union for about an hour," the article continues. "Republican John Sununu defeated then-Gov. Jeanne Shaheen for the Senate that day in what had been considered a cliffhanger."

The Department of Justice announced today that Tobin was sentenced by Chief U.S. District Judge Steven McAuliffe of the District of New Hampshire to 10 months in prison, an additional two years of supervised release, plus a fine of $10,000.

Tobin joins two others indicted on related charges: Charles McGee, former Executive Director for the New Hampshire Republican State Committee, and GOP Marketplace's Allen Raymond, who were sentenced to seven month and three month prison terms, respectively.

In October, the trial will begin for Shaun Hansen, whose firm, Mylo Enterprises, was subcontracted by GOP Marketplace to carry out the phone jamming scheme.

Guardian gains rare access to Iraqi town and finds it fully in control of 'mujahideen'

The executions are carried out at dawn on Haqlania bridge, the entrance to Haditha. A small crowd usually turns up to watch even though the killings are filmed and made available on DVD in the market the same afternoon. One of last week's victims was a young man in a black tracksuit. Like the others he was left on his belly by the blue iron railings at the bridge's southern end. His severed head rested on his back, facing Baghdad. Children cheered when they heard that the next day's spectacle would be a double bill: two decapitations. A man named Watban and his brother had been found guilty of spying.
