| Saturday, June 25, 2005 Mental Health Screenings of School Children I applaud a lot of the work The Rutherford Institute has done and is doing. I do not know the specific facts of the case in which Agape Press, whose site I reached via Alliance Defense Fund following a link from their Email newsletter about the case, reports that The Rutherford Institute is representing the parents of a school girl over a mental health screening under President Bush’s New Freedom Initiative on Mental Illness. Privacy, particularly health and mental health privacy, is of great concern to me. I lobbied for psychotherapist-client privacy in Texas before we even had—and when the lawyer members of the Rules Committee of the Texas House of Representatives did not even know that we did not have, any legal protection for the privacy of either physician-patient or psychotherapist-client communications. However, I do have some concerns based upon my knowledge of mental health matters. My wife was a public school speech therapist, I was a lawyer with an active practice involving both children and mental health issues, and I served on a school special education committee and the county children’s mental health plan advisory committee for three years each, etc. I have known an awful lot of children, some as young as six, and young people, with serious mental health issues, including suicide attempts and suicides, one of the leading causes of death in these age groups, as well as a horrifying number of children who suffered the lasting devastating effects of child sexual abuse, mostly incest. Somebody outside an awful lot of children’s homes, including homes of professing Christians, needs, and a lot of these children need for someone outside the home, to find out and know what is really going on with them. I speak also from personal experience. Incidentally, most of the home schoolers I know are the salt of the earth and their home-schooled children do very well, but have known some families, including families where a parent has teaching, preaching, and other credentials, where this would just be a way to cover up some dark secrets. Normally, the parents are supposed to be involved, just as they are, and asked for consent, in speech and language therapy and other special services provided or arranged through the schools. There are restrictions on even giving a child an aspirin or Pepto-Bismol. [Don’t get me started on abortion, etc., which I oppose, for which all the rules are different than for other medical processes.] There are nowhere near enough mental health professionals qualified to work with children, and so, normally, just as with speech therapy services, teachers, school nurses, etc. are often the first to spot things raising questions about the need for mental health care and treatment. If it appears from such very preliminary screenings that a child has or may have a problem, then a referral to a psychiatrist or other health professional, with notice to the parents and normally with and subject to their approval, would be made. Ideally, these referrals would begin with the parents, but, in altogether too many cases where children have really serious medical and mental health needs, it simply is not happening. In the mythical good old days, the home, the church, the school, the community, and then the legal system, were supposed to back each other up and deal with problems. Most children in this generation have never seen the inside of a church. A lot of my wife’s speech students couldn’t recognize a picture of a traditional church with a steeple. Of course, if you asked a lot of them “What do you call a baby dog,” an awful lot of them couldn’t come up with “puppy” either. What passes for parenting, all too often, ranges from the practically absent to the downright dangerous or despicable. A lot of kids, and an awful lot of those with mental or psychological problems, live in situations where, unless the school finds out, nobody has a clue whether they get fed, whether they’re sick or suicidal, or whether they’re being molested, etc. In my wife’s and my experience, because of the acute shortage of mental health resources, the problem was not a tendency to over-refer, but trying to get help for kids who really needed it, including some who begged school personnel, and sometimes me, for it. Similarly, although I was one side or the other and there were a few cases where Child Protective Services went off half-cocked, the usual problem was getting them to act in cases of desperate need, and, when they did act on tips, they usually turned out to be right. Incidentally, I saw one “parents’ rights” bill in Congress awhile back, sponsored by conservative Congressmen who should have known better, that would, among other things, have provided for a restriction upon the states, by federal fiat, limiting child abuse to “the manner in which ‘child abuse’ was ‘traditionally defined at common law.’” Folks, there was no definition of “child abuse” at common law! There was, in fact, no such definition, and I never saw or heard the term, nor did we deal with the problem, when I was in law school 1961- 64. Dig back through the several editions of Black’s Law Dictionary. Of course, the Supreme Court found long ago that there never had been a national common law among the States. Personally, I have known too many people, from those just learning to talk plainly to those still affected at menopause, who have told me things, without even being asked, like “You’re a nice man and don’t bite me!” [below the waist], to “Daddy raped me starting at the age of six . . . I’m so dirty!” and some of their molesters were licensed preachers, church officers, and prominent officials from both political parties. I also have personal and professional knowledge of children who, while not overtly sexually molested, who were so devastated by parental psychological abuse that they tried to kill themselves and begged God to let them die forever by age six and have continued to have nightmares about this long after finally getting treatment. Incidentally, if a child has a self-esteem problem, one should wonder what kind of religious training she is or is not getting. See Chapter 2 of Warren’s The Purpose Driven Life, which rang bells for me, and Search for Significance, dealing with the true source of our worth and value in terms I, as a lawyer, could appreciate, and, of course, the Scriptures they cite that support their arguments. Too many of those who bray the loudest about “family privacy” and about their Christianity and their God-given rights to it, and “Children, obey your parents” and “Spare the rod and spoil the child,” which are, of course, very legitimate commands, seem to overlook “Parents, do not exasperate [that’s old shorthand for psychologically or otherwise abuse] your children, which St. Paul twice puts in the very next verse [Ephesians 4:6, repeated in Colossians], and, in my practice, other key Scriptures like “Do not uncover your daughter’s nakedness” and others barring incestuous child sexual abuse. The first person I heard mention the above-referenced “parents’ rights” bill was representing someone who had raped, attempted to murder, and maimed his young daughter who I had found myself representing after she tried, in desperation, to kill herself in her early teens, and who not only I, but a professional expert who normally testifies for defendants in child sexual abuse cases, have called a “slime ball” and a child abuser himself for his treatment of children in such cases. The rights of parents over children were never absolute in Scripture. The real purpose of even a child facing a death penalty for sins against the parents in Old Testament law being brought out to the elders before being stoned appears to have been in order that such cooler heads, rather than the offended parent, should make such drastic decisions. I suspect that Jesus, our Advocate, whose defense of the woman taken in adultery was brilliant, would have got a lot of these young people off, too. While there are people in the educational and mental health establishments, who I know well, that I have good reason to and do distrust, and I am very concerned about privacy in this area, in any case, I trust President and Laura Bush, and others, who support the “New Freedom Initiative for the Mentally Ill” including its provisions for mental health screenings of school children who appear to have problems. Building upon existing law intended to guarantee the privacy of information about individual students gathered in a school setting, this program appears to have addressed privacy concerns. I am not familiar with the details of the law of most other states on this point, but, under Texas law, one has to survive to the age of sixteen before their right to seek either medical, psychological, or psychiatric help is recognized. Having known children as young as six who made serious suicide attempts, and as young as eight and nine who have killed themselves, I respectfully submit that a really “pro-life” stance would enable those who really, desperately need help to get it, and protect the privacy of their communications made, whether to school personnel or licensed psychologists and psychiatrists, such purposes. I am familiar with altogether too many situations in which it would be vital that a child have legally recognized assurance of confidentiality in such communications, and, of course, these should never be disclosed generally except as needed to prosecute real crimes, etc. Incidentally, how, under the Buckley Amendment and other existing state and federal law, do commercial data collectors now get, and sell to the military recruiters and others for marketing purposes, data such as the grades of individual students, as reported in another NY Times story in the past few days? If they’re getting the kind of information noted, they may very well be getting and disseminating other personal and potentially misused data about individuals from school and other supposedly confidential sources. If your work in this case leads to better protection of students’ private data, and real access for individuals to what data is collected and disseminated about them commercially or by government agencies, with some privacy laws with teeth in them, great! I recall some of the asinine and potentially damaging data, such as describing a first grader as “gay,” that formed the legislative history of the Buckley Amendment, and school records may also often contain information which could be misused to violate the ADA and other state and federal ant discrimination laws. The precise question has been changed since then, but I was required to answer questions that involved gross and clearly unwarranted invasions of personal privacy, the answers to which could expose one to a lot of unfair and irrational prejudice, including “Have you ever consulted a psychiatrist or other mental health professional?,” when I applied for admission to the bar, etc. There was another question on the Pennsylvania bar admission forms at that time, dealing with other family members and their conduct even before I was born, which a law school dean and member of the Pennsylvania Board of Law Examiners, shocked to learn that they even asked, told me violated the Bill of Attainder Clause of the Constitution and to answer “none of your !!!! business.” I shall follow this case with great interest. PETER S. CHAMBERLAIN Commerce, Texas Patriot Act Dear Mr. Whitehead, I read your piece on the Patriot Act. It always seemed to me that the people who wrote it were more interested in declaring war on the citizens of this country rather than terrorists. James Leonard III Community Survey I just read your interesting article "The Thought Police & the American Community Survey". I am one of the unfortunate "households" who received the intrusive survey for the second time. The survey packet contains a letter from Mr. C.L. Kincannon, Director, U.S. Census Bureau. In his letter Mr Kincannon states, "The U.S. Census Bureau chose your address, not you personally, as part of a randomly selected sample." I have two problems with his statement. First of all being selected twice at random is hard for me to believe. Am I one of the "chosen few" simply because I filled out the first survey sent to me a year or so ago. Once you are on the list is there no getting off? The word random stretches the truth. Secondly he states that my address was selected yet I am required by law to print my name on the survey form. From the information in your article I understand I will be fined severely if I do not answer the questions and return the survey. I have received my second notice already and will probably be getting a phone call or visit soon. As a good law abiding citizen I will fill out and send in the survey. However I also plan on sending out many letters of protest concerning this matter. If you or your staff have the time will you please furnish me with a list of names I can send protest letters to? Your attention to this matter will be greatly appreciated. Regards, John E. Smenner Jr Manchester, Ga mother can't read favorite verses in school I just received the summer 2005 edition of Rutherford, a mail-out to supporters of the Rutherford Institute. A front-page article concerned the mother of a "student of the week" who was requested to read from her son's favorite book to the class. She was going to read Psalm 118 but was prevented from doing so, being told that reading the Bible in the classroom was against the law. That, of course, is the most salient point, since it is not against the law to read the Bible in the classrooom, but I was even more struck by something else. She was offered an alternative opportunity to read from a book about witches, witchcraft, and Halloween. Not long ago I read an article about our military's chaplaincy program which stated that there is at least one, if not more, military chaplain who identifies his religion as Wicca, which concerns witches and witchcraft. So I write to point out this fact, in case it had escaped the awareness of the Rutherford attorneys dealing with the case. If witchcraft is defined as a religion for the purposes of the military chaplaincy program (which in itself is a travesty), then it should not get preferential treatment over Psalm 118 in a class setting. Sincerely yours, Harold Holmyard Sound off Darwinists are nothing more than atheists trying to explain our existence using complex equations and theories and not give credit to the Creator who authored the equations. God made the Clubhouse and the Rules for membership by His doctrine written in the Bible for us to follow. We can't reinvent His word to make it fit into our changing and decreasing value system. God does not change and we cannot change His Word or diminish it by an alternate belief system. God's word has survived for thousands of years and it is pretty clear how He wants us to live on earth. Jesus Christ is the only way into this Clubhouse. The only way to the Father is Jesus Christ who died on the cross and suffered all our pain and sins for us. All we have to do is acknowledge Him as our Lord and Saviour and we can be given entrance into His Clubhouse. Our problems in America are brought on by an alternate belief system to discredit God and all His creation. As we continue to try to explain the universe and apart from the Creator and without regard to biblical affirmations given by Him, we will continue down that path to be dazzled by a succession of ingenious ideas, theories and equations, none of which will remotely resemble the Truth. We have become stubborn, arrogant to accept and give credit to God for all His works. We can only blame all our social woes on ourselves because we made them. We continue down that path of destruction simply because we can't take the infallible Word of God to fit into a man-made theory. We are even attempting to take God out of our vocabulary, from our schools and government and other institutions. When we no longer believe in God as we are heading now, our social problems will greatly worsen. People are not fearful for the consequences of their actions and don't fear punishment. However we will still face God and answer to our sins because the bible says it will happen and we cannot reinterpret that simply because we don't believe. George Larner Ruckersville, Va Thursday, June 23, 2005 Driver License Versus Right to Travel There is probably no other government function more prevalent in the lives of American citizens than the State Department of Motor Vehicles. These state agencies enforce the administration of the driver license. My understanding of a license is that it grants a privilege to an individual that they would otherwise not possess. Taking a license is a contract where “rights” are granted by the entity selling the license. If we have a right to life and liberty under the Constitution then why do we need government to grant us the privilege to move about? Do we need government permission to transport our own property on public roads that we own? Does that not deprive us of liberty? Didn’t God grant us this right? In this day and age if you are caught driving without a “license” it is considered a crime. Can it lawfully be considered a crime to exercise a God given right under the Constitution? Secondly, isn’t automobile registration a violation of the Fifth Amendment? Any police officer can do a run down of your identity by taking your auto license tag number. They then can use this to incriminate you. Therefore, it deprives us of our right to remain silent. This may seem trivial, but if it is a violation of the Fifth Amendment then our rights are being trampled millions of times on a daily basis by law enforcement. Sincerely: DAVID R. STARR Monmouth Junction, New Jersey TV News Thank you. I prefer to be informed and not propagandized. I often know when someone is feeding me a line, but don't always have the answer to rebut. This is very helpful. Fr. Richard Perozich San Pedro Sula, Honduras TRI Files Notice of Intent to Sue School for Mental Health Screening of Teenager/disgusting ! This is absolutely disgusting and outrageous, all for Big Pharma's grip of greed to push their drugs !! I am sick and tired of 'health s-care' profiteers abusing children and the public at large with their unsafe and ineffective toxic drugs and vaccines, a multi-billion dollar sacred cow !! yours for truth and choice, bea Monday, June 20, 2005 prisoner abuse Hello, I appreciate the work that the Rutherford Institute does. That is why I am shocked at what seems to be a lack of knowledge about Quantanimo Bay. Doesn't this organization know the strict rules the military is given to place Korans in the hands of prisoners, that they are ordered to prepare meals in accordance with their religion etc? Surely you all are not deceived. Please don't be. Thanks, Theresa Walker Friday, June 17, 2005 Torturing prisoners How low can you go America, is about all I can say? It seems to me if there was any heart in this administration they would be glad to open their prisons to outside audit of respected nature. It was exactly this kind of activity and support of it by Christians that had me questioning my faith 35 years ago. I have always never been able to reconcile a Christian response of terrorizing ones perceived enemy as compatible with Jesus teaching ie. Pray for your enemies. We know as Christians we are not in a war of flesh and blood. I to this day can not reconcile testifying to the love of Christ while at the same time attempting to move him on to eternity ie kill some perceived enemy. My understanding of the gospel is that the power is in Christ crucified and we are to be His disciples. I Cor. 1: 18 " For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who areperishing, but to those who are being saved it is the power of God." At the age of 63, I now know that I must keep my eye on Jesus and He will judge the hearts. For me, as a Christian, My God said "Blessed are the merciful for they shall obtain mercy". Praise God for the salt you are, as we all are called to be as Christians ie. to make our world a better place to live for everyone, as we point to Jesus our hope of eternal salvation. In the love of Christ, John Gamble Thanks! Sincerely, Casey Welter Patriot Act Paul Mossman Wednesday, June 15, 2005 Prisoner abuse John While the alledged treatment of the prisoners at Abu Greb is offensive to most Americans and should have never been allowed to get down the path it did, you need to remember that most Americans are not over there in that hell hole. Suggest you go through the experience of picking up a buddy's traumatically amputated limb a couple of times caused by the same kind of people that are in that prison. May alter your perception of what reality is and what is the ideal. These are not prisoners of war. They are not soldiers. Under the Geneva Convention we don't even have to jail them or feed them. They are terrorist and according to the laws of civilized nations can be shot out of hand and probably should. Would certainly decrease the risk of dehumanizing our American soldiers by having to take their abuse in those prisons because some guy looking for a story gets lucky. By wringing your hands over the embarrasment of this situation you become the willing tool of the very terrorist who kill childrens and cut heads off of real victims. Those prison guards needed to be punished for unprofessional behavior but their actions, no matter how repulsive, is not nearly as bad as journalists and left of center do-gooders who encourage terrorist to keep up their unspeakable crimes by focusing on minor side issues. Easy to be judgmental sitting in a desk chair in safe America. Suggest before you talk the talk, you go over there and walk the walk. Then, and only then, will you have credibilty for main stream Americans who are actually paying and sacrificing in this war. Jim Pauling Monday, June 13, 2005 Commerce Claws The vast majority of people are not strongly interested in the suffering of others. They're inclined to unconciously promote their identity, their loyalty, if you will. Marxism is worn as a badge. It is an identity. People get giddy over it. It's a "big deal" to some of us. It is worshipped not because it is extraordinary but because it has legislation against it. Flaunting disdain. After reading C.K. I'm not so sure the ruling was about medical-marxism. But does that really matter? I think medical-jihad is a far greater concern that is not addressed in this court decision. Jihad represents the greatest threat to civil rights and human rights in the world yet it is somehow ignored by many. Rebelliously, Anonymous Proletariot http://rutherford.org/articles_db/legal_features.asp?article_id=114 http://www.jewishworldreview.com/cols/krauthammer1.asp "The real question is never what judges decide but how they decide it. The Scalia-Thomas argument was not about concern for cancer patients, the utility of medical marijuana or the latitude individuals should have regarding what they ingest." "It was about what the Constitution's commerce clause permits and, even more abstractly, who decides what the commerce clause permits." 'Two years ago, Thomas (and Scalia and William Rehnquist) dissented from the court's decision to invalidate a Texas law that criminalized sodomy. Thomas explicitly wrote, "If I were a member of the Texas Legislature, I would vote to repeal it." However, since he is a judge and not a legislator, he could find no principled way to use a Constitution that is silent on this issue to strike down the law. No matter. If Thomas were nominated tomorrow for chief justice you can be sure that some liberal activists would immediately issue a news release citing Thomas's "hostility to homosexual rights."' Thursday, June 09, 2005 article - Devils Thank you for your articles on Tuesdays in the Crossville Chronicle. I always look for them because they provide a sign of sanity in this gone crazy world of ours. It is truly scary to see the damage that has been done to the fabric of our nation. Thank you for being a needed voice that helps us see how far we have gone astray. The challenge will be after another 3.5 years of this to find a leader that will truly be commited to moving us forward morally in deed and spirit rather than further backward toward the devil. Also it is frightening to think how much further we will be taken from the path of our true ideals in the next 3.5 years. This is truly a Godless time in our society. The devil is in charge. I am afraid the way the young have been exposed to the art of lying and greed they may never understand how it's suppose to be. Of course the class system that is being established will cause them to live it and maybe new sight will help them see and start a new path to the higher ideals of love thy neighbor. Thanks again for your voice in this wilderness. Glenda Van Slyke alleged prisoner abuses I am surprised to see you jumping on the let's-bash-Bush-by-making-mountains-out-of-molehills band wagon. The numbers I've heard is on the order of 28,000 interrogations, and if memory serves, something like 8 allegations of prisoner/Quran abuse, and of those, only 4 have been substantiated. Note that these so-called abuses have included handling the Quran with only one hand, or with ungloved hands. Come on gentlemen. The uproar of this is the real abuse, and for Sen. Biden to call for the closure of Gitmo is an unconscionable act of colluding with those who cast aspersions, daily, on our military. The terrorists are able to learn just as our children do: divide and conquer. As long as orgs like your continue to pull out the umbrellas every time a Jihadist cries "the sky is falling", our critical attentions will continue to be diverted from the job at hand of killing the enemy. Our nation was founded on the fact that our liberties originate from the Creator, and that government is instituted to guarantee these liberties. Our men and women in uniform take oaths to uphold tha Constitution and to defend from enemies foreign and domestic. Would that our civilian "leadership" would uphold their oaths of office. The incessant attacks our our military must cease. These terrorists are not under a foreign flag or insignia, nor do they wear uniforms. Ergo, they are not eligible for any Geneva Convention rights or considerations. Period. End of story. Your time and energy would be better spent on real problems like the unarmed invasion from the south. That is a real threat to the future of our republic. That and the unConstitutional treaties being attempted to be put into law such as LOST, CAFTA, and FTAA all of which will undermine our national sovereignty. Are you doing anything about them? Unbelievable, Phil Wolf USMC vet 1966-70 Prisioner abuse "America’s dedication to those principles has clearly been brought into question in the wake of our response to terrorist threats against this nation. The abuses inflicted at the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq and the detentions without due process at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, are well-documented." First of all, if you think that the photos of the prisioners at Abu Graib depicted torture or abuse, people here in San Francisco pay good money for far worse treatment. Torture is what Saadam and his sons did, like feeding people into plastic shreders and such. Stress is not torture!!! Second, the detainees are NOT Prisioners of War! To achive that status they need to be in uniform, be fighting for a government, etc. These clowns were not picked up on a sweep of your local Starbucks. They were picked up in combat!! Third, we are at WAR. There is no 'due process' during war time. This piece sounds a lot like the MSM treatment. I am disapointed. Robert Dietrich Wednesday, June 08, 2005 Faith In Freedom, Freedom In Faith It is all too easy today to come up with an example of religious injustice in our society. In some cases this is due to a certain prejudice, in others due to the infringement of the rights of others. In the "Old Days," when I was in school, any school-sanctioned group had to obtain the permission of the school administration to post any notices on school property. If the permission had not been sought, or not been given, the school administration would be within their rights to either take down the notices and give them back to the group, or to even tear down the notices and throw them in the trash, as they had not been authorized. RESPECT is a two-way street, and it is one that some, in their religious fervor, seem to forget. Here in the USA we are fortunate to have our own Faith in Freedom rights, with attendant responsibilities. That means that we cannot infringe upon the rights of others in our zeal to impose our religious beliefs on others. Rather than try to force our religious beliefs on others, we should try to live our lives as we should, living our religion, rather than only talking the talk. We need to, first and foremost, also walk the walk! After all, what does the word CHRISTIAN really mean, if not CHRIST-LIKE. So, can we LIVE our religion, rather than TALK our religion? Can we show, BY EXAMPLE, rather than by words alone, that we are, in fact, true CHRISTIANS? How can we support the rights of prisoners to free practice of their religion in state and federal institutions, yet deny the rights of those free people at public assemblies the same rights, by IMPOSING upon them talk of OUR God, of OUR Beliefs? Doesn't anyone see the least bit of hypocrisy here? Thank you! Jim Blake Tuesday, June 07, 2005 Nat Hentoff Thank you for the article on Nat Hentoff. I never heard of him before, but I'm glad you enlightened and educated me. Like thousands of other people, I'm a Catholic pro-life liberal. I'm against abortion, and I'm against the death penalty. I believe that nothing that God creates is "bad". People, here on earth, make things "bad". Jesus Christ, come to think of it, was probably a pro-life liberal. After all, did not the "Religious Right" put Jesus to death??? Our government has much more serious issues to address than marijuana, steroids, and porn. Today's serious issues are the lack of good jobs, illegal immigrants, the economy, the senseless war in Iraq, the invasive Patriot Act, health care, education, the environment, and energy. Social Security should NOT even be a major issue - just raise the cap.....that's all. John, I wish our government respected the Bill of Rights. (They treat the Bill of Rights like it's a "red-haired step-child".) Thank you for "keeping up the fight". RON Carson City, Nevada Monday, June 06, 2005 Commentary: Nat Hentoff: An American Classic Mr. Whitehead: Thank you. This is excellent. I have started reading all of Hentoff's articles and they are excellent. Thank you for introducing me to this champion of human life. Thank you, Praise The Lord, Harry Stein Wednesday, June 01, 2005 John W. Whitehead Interviews Survivor of U.S. Government Mind-Control Experiments + Mengele : The Complete Story Dear John, I want to thank you for this excellent interview with Carol Rutz! I have been working with people with background for twenty years. I began working with DID (MPD) in 1991. I have several observations that I think is important to many survivors and those who work with this population. First I would like to commend Carol Rutz for her courage and integrity in her willingness to be public about her history of ritual abuse and CIA involvement. What Carol has reported corroborates and confirms what many survivors have reported to me in counseling sessions I have had with them. In Carol's interview with John Whitehead she refers to Josef Mengele as code named "Dr. Black" In all the survivors that I have worked with this reference to Mengele is only within the context of CIA programming and counter-espionage operations. This level is usually installed between ages four-six. Deeper into the core of the persons DID Structure where Mengele has been involved he is known as "Dr. Green" or "Dr. Greenbaum"; and with some as "uncle" or "Peppy" (sp?). At this level all programming and resultant DID structuring by Mengele is to cover the true biological family and identity of the person which is usually European. With every person that I have worked with and observed who has achieved significant integration and wholeness, Mengele was hired by the biological father(s) to create a shield around the original persons identity and abuse by the biological father. Carol's reference to her immediate family in her abuse may only be at a surrogate level if there is a European core identity layered below or behind what is represented by Mengele as "Dr. Black". If Carol is the exception to all those that I have worked with who have referred to Mengele's involvement in their lives I have no investment in seeking to change someone else's reality provided that it is the reality that defines the original persons God-given identity at conception and birth. Where there are American (or whatever country and family the person was raised as a child) 'parents' who are the primary abusers, this history only goes back to about age two. The person's memories and experiences are structured to believe that this is their birth identity when in reality they are two years older than there surrogate identity. I have confirmed this observation with those with those who have become re-associated with their true God-given core identity and demonstrate a history of life and relationships that validate that they have recovered their true identity. Yours in Christ, Doug Riggs, Pastor abuse of terrorists While I do not agree with the abuse I can hardly feel any urge to act or speak out. You have done exactly what the main-stream media constantly does; that is focus on comparatively minute wrongs done by our military while loosing focus on the hateful, deranged, spiritless, animals who we fight. I will say what is obvious; they kill anyone over the most microscopic, imagined, and suppossed insult. They literally terrorise ANYONE. The recent tv show "24" was criticized as being slanted against muslims; not true, the show displayed the fact that these people will do anything to anyone and they NEVER take a prisoner. They kill young, old, men, women and children and 95% of the time these people are totally innocent. This country needs more "Jack Bauers"! In a way he was one who broke established law to do the right thing. However, he did not torture for the fun of it, but if it was necessary to save innocent lives he would do anything to get information to save those lives and ultimately protect this nation. The Constitution is a wonderful document, but it is not the infallable word of God, it is necessary to break even the rule of the Constitution on rare occassion. To save my family or protect this country I would do whatever is necessary against any enemy and to hell with the Constitution or the Geneva Conference! One cannot flush a book down a toilet. It won't fit! And where do you think the korans came from in the first place? Look around the world at any time and atrocities have been and are committed. We genocided the Native Americans almost out of existance. Anywhere you look today a militant form of Islam is being forced on people: Africa, Russia, Spain, Indonesia; literally everywhere! It is true that this is a holy war and if Islam wins the world will be in a state of anarchy and doom. For these reasons I would do anything to the enemy to win this war. You need to RE-FOCUS!
