Calif Rep. Waters wants ethics charges made public [Why should the charges be secret? Why can't the public know them? I'm for letting the sunlight in on this one... then let the chips fall wherever they may.] (AP) – 2 hours ago google.com LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles-area congresswoman Maxine Waters says she's innocent of ethics violations and wants the charges made public now. But Waters told Santa Monica public radio station KCRW on Thursday that she can't discuss the charges herself because of a confidentiality agreement. The 10-term Democrat has been charged with violations by the Congressional Ethics Committee because she asked regulators to help a bank in which her husband had a financial interest. The bank later received $12 million in bailout funds. The ethics committee announced it's charged Waters but hasn't released the details and hasn't set a date for her trial. It's supposed to do so when Congress returns from summer recess in September — only weeks before congressional elections. Copyright © 2010 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

“I don’t think it was dangerous because it was in a controlled environment.” So, scaring the hell out of an officer constitutes a "controlled environment"? Unbelievable! What if the officer would have felt gravely threatened and killed someone during their race hoax? If a White church would have set up a similar hoax for a black cop, we would be hearing cries of "racism" non-stop, and Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson would be organizing civil rights marches until all of the Whites involved were arrested for committing a hate crime and endangering lives!
