The Department of Defense specifies that service members within six years of retirement normally would be retained and allowed to retire on time with benefits, unless extenuating circumstances exist such as disciplinary issues.
According to lawyers at Chapman and the AMVETS Legal Clinic, the Air Force has deviated from the six-year protection "without any legal authority."

16 Senators would grant president power to order military to indefinitely imprison U.S. citizens on American soil without charge or trial
Posted: November 26, 2011 | Author: barenakedislam | Filed under: EnemyWithin-American | 61 Comments »
Like a broken clock, the ACLU gets it right once in awhile. Senators Carl Levin (D-MI) and John McCain (R-AZ) are the sponsors of a bill that could detain any one of us without due process. Even the White House has threatened to veto it.
ACLU (H/T Rob E) The Senate is gearing up for a vote on Monday or Tuesday that goes to the very heart of who we are as Americans. The Senate will be voting on a bill that will direct American military resources not at an enemy shooting at our military in a war zone, but at American citizens and other civilians far from any battlefield — even people in the United States itself.
The worldwide indefinite detention without charge or trial provision is in S. 1867, the National Defense Authorization Act bill, which will be on the Senate floor on Monday. The bill was drafted in secret by Sens. Carl Levin (D-Mich.) and John McCain (R-Ariz.) and passed in a closed-door committee meeting, without even a single hearing.
Senators need to hear from you, on whether you think your front yard is part of a "battlefield" and if any president can send the military anywhere in the world to imprison civilians without charge or trial.
The Senate is going to vote on whether Congress will give this president—and every future president — the power to order the military to pick up and imprison without charge or trial civilians anywhere in the world. Even Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) raised his concerns about the NDAA detention provisions during last night's Republican debate. The power is so broad that even U.S. citizens could be swept up by the military and the military could be used far from any battlefield, even within the United States itself.
I know it sounds incredible. New powers to use the military worldwide, even within the United States? Hasn't anyone told the Senate that Osama bin Laden is dead, that the president is pulling all of the combat troops out of Iraq and trying to figure out how to get combat troops out of Afghanistan too? And American citizens and people picked up on American or Canadian or British streets being sent to military prisons indefinitely without even being charged with a crime. Really? Does anyone think this is a good idea? And why now?
The answer on why now is nothing more than election season politics. The White House, the Secretary of Defense, and the Attorney General have all said that the indefinite detention provisions in the National Defense Authorization Act are harmful and counterproductive. The White House has even threatened a veto. But Senate politics has propelled this bad legislation to the Senate floor.
But there is a way to stop this dangerous legislation. Sen. Mark Udall (D-Colo.) is offering the Udall Amendment that will delete the harmful provisions and replace them with a requirement for an orderly Congressional review of detention power. The Udall Amendment will make sure that the bill matches up with American values.
In support of this harmful bill, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) explained that the bill will "basically say in law for the first time that the homeland is part of the battlefield" and people can be imprisoned without charge or trial "American citizen or not." Another supporter, Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-N.H.) also declared that the bill is needed because "America is part of the battlefield."
The solution is the Udall Amendment; a way for the Senate to say no to indefinite detention without charge or trial anywhere in the world where any president decides to use the military. Instead of simply going along with a bill that was drafted in secret and is being jammed through the Senate, the Udall Amendment deletes the provisions and sets up an orderly review of detention power. It tries to take the politics out and put American values back in.
In response to proponents of the indefinite detention legislation who contend that the bill "applies to American citizens and designates the world as the battlefield," and that the "heart of the issue is whether or not the United States is part of the battlefield," Sen. Udall disagrees, and says that we can win this fight without worldwide war and worldwide indefinite detention.
The senators pushing the indefinite detention proposal have made their goals very clear that they want an okay for a worldwide military battlefield, that even extends to your hometown. That is an extreme position that will forever change our country.
Now is the time to stop this bad idea. Please urge your senators to vote YES on the Udall Amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act.

22 "One day we'll kill ALL Jews," says Barack Hussein Obama's new BFF from the Muslim Brotherhood in Cairo
Posted: November 26, 2011 | Author: barenakedislam | Filed under: Islam and the Jews | 26 Comments »
MUSLIM HATE FEST: A Muslim Brotherhood rally in Cairo's most prominent mosque turned into a venomous anti-Israel protest, with attendants vowing to "one day kill all Jews." Some 5,000 people joined the rally, called to promote the "battle against Jerusalem's Judaization."
YNET NEWS However, most worshippers who prayed at the mosque Friday quickly left it before the Muslim Brotherhood's rally got underway. A group spokesman urged attendants to remain for the protest, asking them not to create a bad impression for the media by leaving.
Speakers at the event delivered impassioned, hateful speeches against Israel, slamming the "Zionist occupiers" and the "treacherous Jews." Upon leaving the rally, worshippers were given small flags, with Egypt's flag on one side and the Palestinian flag on the other, as well as maps of Jerusalem's Old City detailing where "Zionists are aiming to change Jerusalem's Muslim character."
Spiritual leader Dr. Ahmed al-Tayeb charged in his speech that to this day Jews everywhere in the world are seeking to prevent Islamic and Egyptian unity. "The al-Aqsa Mosque is currently under an offensive by the Jews…we shall not allow the Zionists to Judaize al-Quds (Jerusalem.) We are telling Israel and Europe that we shall not allow even one stone to be moved there."
Muslim Brotherhood spokesmen, as well as Palestinian guest speakers, made explicit calls for Jihad and for liberating the whole of Palestine. Time and again, a Quran quote vowing that "one day we shall kill all the Jews" was uttered at the site. Meanwhile, businessmen in the crowd were urged to invest funds in Jerusalem in order to prevent the acquisition of land and homes by Jews. Throughout the event, Muslim Brotherhood activists chanted: "Tel Aviv, Tel Aviv, judgment day has come."

24 AUSTRALIA: Christians & other non-Muslims secretly being force-fed (Islamic-slaughtered) Halal meat that is not labeled 'Halal'
Posted: November 26, 2011 | Author: barenakedislam | Filed under: Islamization of the West | 24 Comments »
"By having Australians unwittingly eating Halal food we are all one step down the path towards the conversion, and that is a step we should only make with full knowledge and one that should not be imposed upon us without us knowing," Australian Minister Simpkins told Parliament.
ABNA Mr Simpkins said he had carried out an unofficial survey in his northern-suburbs electorate of Cowan and had discovered that most meat at major chains such as Coles or Woolworths had been killed under Halal conditions, but had not been labelled as such.
He tabled a petition demanding that all Halal meat be clearly identified, complaining people could not go to Coles, Woolworths or IGA, or other supermarkets to buy meat for their "Aussie barbecue" without the influence of the "minority religion". Simpkins accused meat producers, including Harvey Beef, Inghams and Steggles of "deceiving" West Australians by not properly mentioning whether their products is 'Halal meat' or not.
Mr Simpkins said that Prophet Mohammed (s.a.w.w) had talked of how Islam could be expanded around the world by getting people to eat Halal meat. "He reportedly said, 'The non-believers will become Muslims when, amongst other things, they eat the meat that we have slaughtered'. This is one of the key aspects to converting non-believers to Islam," Mr Simpkins said.
The petition tabled by Mr Simpkins had been organised by the Barnabas Fund, an organisation that supports Christians living in Muslim countries.
The Barnabas Fund's halal petition states: "The spread of halal is part of a Muslim commitment to Islamic mission (dawa) and the Islamisation of non-Muslim societies. The imposition of sharia practices on non-Muslims may be interpreted as an assertion of Islamic supremacy."
Below is a propaganda video about halal, emphasizing that halal only means a prayer to Allah over the meat. They conveniently leave out the extreme brutality and suffering caused to large animals slaughtered the halal way: Shocking stories/graphic videos here of: HALAL SLAUGHTER

27 SWEDEN: Savage Muslim Art students attack police and totally disrupt lecture on 'Freedom of Speech' with artist Lars Vilks
Posted: November 25, 2011 | Author: barenakedislam | Filed under: Islamization of the West | 55 Comments »
Lars Vilks is the Swedish artist who has been attacked and had his home nearly burned down by Muslims who didn't like the drawings he made of the paedophile prophet Muhammad as the head of a dog. In the video below, you'll see what they think of free speech in Sweden, the country that took them in and is probably supporting most of them on the welfare rolls.
Some background on Vilks (His Muhammad cartoons at right)
Why did Lars Vilks, a mild-mannered Swedish artist, booby-trap his art with electrified barbed wire, keep an ax by his bedside, and build a panic room upstairs? For one, Mr. Vilks's 2007 cartoon of the prophet Mohammed as a stray dog continues to bring death threats and even a bounty on his head from an Al Qaeda-related group in Iraq.
Two men accused of trying to burn down the home of Swedish cartoonist Lars Vilks a week ago have been arrested and remanded into custody, charged with attempted arson. Vilks was not home at the time. He has since gone into hiding.
The two accused, 21 and 19, are brothers who immigrated to Sweden from Kosovo. The suspected trigger for their action is continued animosity by Muslims over some silly cartoons of Mohammed as a dog, drawn by Vilks a couple of years ago as part of a newspaper editorial supporting free speech in the wake of earlier Muslim outrage over cartoons of Mohammed published in 2005 by the Danish newspaper Jyllands- Posten.

28 A TREND? Four Saudi sisters behead their own brother for constantly molesting them
Posted: November 26, 2011 | Author: barenakedislam | Filed under: Women | 49 Comments »
First we had the story of the Pakistani wife chopping up her child-molesting husband and boiling him in oil, now this. Four Saudi sisters who beheaded their brother at their house because he refused to stop molesting them, were reported to have kicked the severed head around like a football.
Sadly, the next story I post will be of the sisters getting beheaded themsleves as punishment.
Emirates 24/7 (H/T DRJ) Saudi police seized the four sisters, aged between 20 and 40 years, after they fled their home in the northern town of Hafr Al-Batin and hid at another house.
"Police sources said the sisters confessed to murdering their brother and said they had done so because he kept molesting them…they also said their brother was a drug addict," Sabq Arabic language daily said.
Police had found their brother, in his 20s, lying in a pool of blood in his room and
his head was cut off following an attack with knives by his four sisters. His 60-year-old father had informed the police about the crime.
Digital Journal The unnamed victim had been attacked with knives and beheaded. The Saudi Gazette reported that police spokesman Ziyad Al-Ruqaiti said
"The father entered the house and found his 20-year-old son's body and his decapitated head."
He also found his four daughters missing from the home. The four sisters were soon found at a local house where they had allegedly fled after murdering their brother. They were soon arrested and accused of the murder. The four women, aged between 20 and 40, reportedly may have kicked the severed head around like a football, according to Trifter.

29 "Moderate" Morocco Goes Islamic: Election Win for Sharia Party
As the leader of the free world abdicates, the forces of oppression, subjugation and dehumanization arise. Stands to reason, doesn't it? Evil loves a vacuum. Check out al-Reuters' headline, "Moderate Islamists." It would be funny if it weren't so fatal. There is not moderate Islam. The Prime Minister of Turkey schooled President Obama in this. There is no moderate Islam, there is no extreme Islam, Islam is Islam. As for the term Islamist, it is another construct of fantasists. Islamic vs. Islamist: An Artificial Distinction — Atlas Shrugs
An 18 year old Muslim student, from Western University and born in Mississauga had this to say about the distinction between Islam and Islamism:"case and point on why you dont understand Islam. No one makes this distinction [between Islam and Islamism] other then the Western world, for the sake of having a tidy little system to classify everything. Our religion and political ideology are one. Furthermore, I really wouldnt use the term islamist or Islamism. Many muslims, including myself, find the term deeply offensive."
In other words, IN CANADA, there is an entire generation of Muslims who openly subscribe to 'Islamism' as indistinguishable from Islam.
The bottom line is that moderate Morocco is going Islam, abandoning secularism. The power, influence and cultural superiority of Western civilization wanes as Western leaders abandon the age of reason. And the once utterly defeated barbarism of a seventh-century totalitarian ideology rises yet again amid genocidal aspirations and imperialist dreams. Tunisia, Libya, Yemen, Egypt, Morocco …..
Islamist party claims Moroccan election win
By Reuters 11/26/2011
Moderate Islamist Justice and Development Party says it won the largest number of seats in parliamentary elections.
RABAT – The Justice and Development Party (PJD) said it had won the largest number of seats in Morocco's parliamentary election on Friday.
"Based on reports filed by our representatives at polling stations throughout the country, we are the winners. We won Rabat, Casablanca, Tangier, Kenitra, Sale, Beni Mellal and Sidi Ifni to cite just a few," Lahcen Daodi, second in command of the moderate Islamist party, told Reuters.
Our party has won the highest number of seats," he added.
Government officials could not immediately confirm the party's claim.
The PJD would be the second moderate Islamist party to lead a North African government since the start of the region's Arab Spring uprisings, following Tunisia.
Daodi could not give a figure for the number of seats his party had won in the 395-member House of Representatives.
Mustapha Al Khalfi, a member of the PJD's politburo, also said the party had won the election but sounded a note of caution.
"We have to wait for the final results because there was a lot of fraud, so we hope that it will not cost us what should be a resounding victory for our party," he said.

Mexico Seeks to Fill Drug War Gap with Focus on Dirty Money
The evolving anti-laundering campaign could change the tone of the Mexican government's battle by striking at the heart of the cartels' financial empire, analysts say.

By Ken Ellingwood and Tracy Wilkinson
Los Angeles Times
Tainted drug money runs like whispered rumors all over Mexico's economy — in gleaming high-rises in beach resorts such as Cancun, in bustling casinos in Monterrey, in skyscrapers and restaurants in Mexico City that sit empty for months. It seeps into the construction sector, the night-life industry, even political campaigns.
Piles of greenbacks, enough to fill dump trucks, are transformed into gold watches, showrooms full of Hummers, aviation schools, yachts, thoroughbred horses and warehouses full of imported fabric.
Officials here say the tide of laundered money could reach as high as $50 billion, a staggering sum equal to about 3% of Mexico's legitimate economy, or more than all its oil exports or spending on prime social programs.
Mexican leaders often trumpet their deadly crackdown against drug traffickers as an all-out battle involving tens of thousands of troops and police, high-profile arrests and record-setting narcotics seizures. The 5-year-old offensive, however, has done little to attack a chief source of the cartels' might: their money.
Even President Felipe Calderon, who sent the army into the streets to chase traffickers after taking office in 2006, an offensive that has seen 43,000 people die since, concedes that Mexico has fallen short in attacking the financial strength of organized crime.
"Without question, we have been at fault," Calderon said during a meeting last month with drug-war victims. "The truth is that the existing structures for detecting money-laundering were simply overwhelmed by reality."
Experts say the unchecked flow of dirty money feeds a widening range of criminal activity as cartels branch into other enterprises, such as producing and trading in pirated merchandise.
"All this generates more crime," said Ramon Garcia Gibson, a former compliance officer at Citibank and an expert in money-laundering. "At the end of the day, this isn't good for anyone."
Officials on both sides of the border have begun taking tentative steps to stem the flow of dirty money. For Instance, last year Calderon proposed anti-laundering legislation, after earlier announcing restrictions on cash transactions in Mexico that used U.S. dollars.
The evolving anti-laundering campaign could change the tone of the government's military-led crime crusade by striking at the heart of the cartels' financial empire, analysts say. But the effort will have to overcome a longtime lack of political will and poor coordination among Mexican law enforcement agencies that have only aggravated the complexity of the task at hand now.
"If you don't take away their property, winning this war is impossible," said Sen. Ricardo Garcia Cervantes of the Senate security committee and Calderon's conservative National Action Party. "You are not going to win this war with bullets."
The good news for Mexican and Colombian traffickers is that drug sales in the United States generate enormous income, nearly all of it in readily spendable cash. The bad news is that this creates a towering logistical challenge: getting the proceeds back home to pay bills, buy supplies — from guns to chemicals to trucks — and build up the cartels' empires without detection.
Laundering allows traffickers to disguise the illicit earnings as legitimate through any number of transactions, such as cash transfers, big-ticket purchases, currency exchanges and deposits.
Much of that money still makes its way back into Mexico the old-fashioned way: in duffels stuffed into the trunks of cars. But Mexican drug traffickers are among the world's most savvy entrepreneurs, and launderers have proved nimble in evading authorities' efforts to catch them, adopting a host of new techniques to move the ill-gotten wealth.

Along Mexican Border, US Ranchers say they Live in Fear
Despite government assurances that they're safe, they say the level of violence is rising
By Mark Potter
NBC News
FALFURRIAS, Texas — While walking along a dirt road bordering his property, a South Texas farmer complained about living in fear of Mexican traffickers smuggling drugs and illegal immigrants across his land. He would later ask his visitor not to reveal his identity, for his safety and that of his family.
"I'm a citizen of the United States. This is supposedly sovereign soil, but right now it's anybody's who happens to be crossing here," he said. "I'm a little nervous being here right now. Definitely don't come down here after dark."
The farmer said a federal law enforcement agent told him to buy a bulletproof vest to use while working in his fields. Whenever he goes out to survey his agricultural operations, he always tells his office where he is headed, and he has purchased a high-powered rifle.
"One of the basic points of the federal government is to protect the people of this nation to secure the border, and they're not doing that," he complained.
The Obama administration and many local officials have said the U.S.-Mexican border is safer than ever and that reports of violence on the American side are wildly exaggerated. But the farmer scoffed at that argument. "I walk this soil every day and have since I was old enough to come out on my own," he said. "In this part of Texas, it is worse than it's ever been."
Moving families to safer ground
A report recently released by the Texas commissioner of agriculture said cross-border violence was escalating. "Fear and anxiety levels among Texas farmers and ranchers have grown enormously during the past two years," the report said, adding that some "have even abandoned their livelihoods to move their families to safer ground."
Retired U.S. Army Gen. Barry McCaffrey, who served as the U.S. drug czar during the Clinton administration and as an NBC News military analyst, is a co-author of the report. During a recent interview, McCaffrey said that while major cities along the Texas border are "pretty safe," the rural areas between towns are "largely unprotected, and across those areas the (Mexican) cartels are conducting massive movements of illegal drugs and other criminal activity."
Law enforcement agents say they are seeing more aggressive efforts by Mexican traffickers operating in the Rio Grande Valley. In South Texas alone, the traffickers smuggle hundreds of tons of drugs a year into the United States by floating them on rafts across the Rio Grande, then transporting them by car, truck or on foot — often across private land — into the United States.
The smuggling "clearly has intimidated U.S. citizen who don't believe they're safe on their own land in their own country," McCaffrey said.
Several Texas congressmen and sheriffs have condemned the report, saying its conclusions are overstated and politically driven. But McCaffrey claims the officials not facing facts.
"I think there is an element of denial," McCaffrey said. "Inside the beltway the senior law enforcement, I think, have fallen in line and said, no, that's right, the U.S. border is the safest place in America, which is errant nonsense."

US: Sinaloa Cartel Planned to 'Blow up' Buildings
By Diana Washington Valdez
El Paso Times
› PDF: Read excerpt of Sinaloa document
Leaders of the Sinaloa drug cartel wanted to buy powerful U.S. military weapons to "blow up" government buildings in Mexico after the arrest of a top alleged kingpin, U.S. prosecutors claimed in court documents.
U.S. prosecutors filed the document Nov. 10 in connection with the pending trial in Chicago of Jesus Vicente Zambada-Niebla, who was arrested by Mexican officials in 2009 and extradited to the United States in 2010.
Officials allege in the documents that Zambada-Niebla is a high-ranking member of the Sinaloa drug cartel led by Joaquin "Chapo" Guzman-Loera.
The Sinaloa drug cartel has been at war with the Juárez drug cartel to take over the drug trade in the El Paso area. Its battle against the Vicente Carrillo Fuentes drug cartel killed an estimated 9,100 people in Juárez between Jan. 1, 2008 and Oct. 31.
The court documents also identify German Olivares as Guzman's coordinator for the Juárez smuggling corridor.
Zambada-Niebla's lawyers — some based in Tucson, New York and other areas — claim a "public authority" defense, alleging that U.S. authorities allowed Zambada-Niebla to traffic tons of cocaine and heroin into the United States in exchange for information about rival drug cartels.
His defense lawyers also sought to prevent government prosecutors from using the Classified Information Protection Act to exclude certain records and witness information that may threaten U.S. national security.
According to a conversation recorded by Margarito Flores, a cooperating witness, "Guzman-Loera and Ismael Zambada-Garcia (Zambada-Niebla's father) discussed the recent arrest of Zambada-Garcia's brother, Jesus Zambada-Garcia É by Mexican authorities."
"This government is letting the gringos (American law enforcement) do whatever they want," Zambada-Garcia said according to Flores.
Then, Guzman said, "They are (expletive) us everywhere. What are we going to do?"
Guzman, whom Interpol has listed as one of the world's most-wanted fugitives, added, "Let it be a government building, it doesn't matter whose. An embassy or a consulate, a media outlet or television station (attack a Mexican or U.S. government or media building in Mexico City)."

In Mexico Drug War, Zetas Lay Claim to Sinaloa Turf
The message left by the Zetas near some of the 26 corpses found Thursday in Guadalajara, Mexico's second largest city, make the targets quite clear: the Sinaloa gang and its fugitive boss, Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman.
The messages also apparently slam an alleged alliance between Guzman and the leaders of Sinaloa state, where 24 bodies were found Wednesday, and Jalisco state, of which Guadalajara is the capital.
The killings come two months after a similar massacre in September, when 35 bodies were tipped out of trucks under a busy overpass in the eastern port of Veracruz – an act attributed to the Zeta Killers, a group linked to Sinaloa.
"Behind the attacks in Guadalajara and Sinaloa, there would appear to be a need for revenge, fueled by the attacks in Veracruz," Dante Haro, an investigator at the University of Guadalajara, told AFP.
"Jalisco state had violence rates that were lower than those in other parts of Mexico, but crime is on the rise there," Haro said.
He noted that authorities in Jalisco had captured several high-level traffickers and a Sinaloa boss was gunned down there in a security operation last year.
Those incidents stripped Guadalajara of its prior status as a neutral zone in the drug war, "where the bosses could keep their families safe," Haro said.
Raul Benitez Manuat, an expert at the National Autonomous University of Mexico's North American Research Center, said a Zetas incursion on Sinaloa turf could open a new front in a war that has ravaged cities like Tijuana and Ciudad Juarez, on the US border.
Monterrey, an industrial center in the north, has seen increased violence in recent months.
Until now, the Zetas – set up by former army officers turned hitmen in the 1990s – have operated mostly on the Gulf of Mexico coast in the east of the country.
For Manuat, "such a blatant operation could be a harbinger for increased violence, now on the Pacific coast."
The Guadalajara killings could be the first counter-attack by the Zetas, considered to be the most violent of Mexico's drug gangs and blamed for spreading extortion, kidnappings and murders.
They are believed to have been behind a casino bombing in Monterrey in August that left 52 people dead, as well as the execution of 72 illegal immigrants in August 2010.
Some 52,000 deaths have been blamed on rising drug violence since late 2006, when President Felipe Calderon launched a massive crackdown on the drug cartels involving tens of thousands of troops.Share it:

The mission was supposed to be a textbook "controlled delivery" – a routine trap by law enforcement officers using a secret operative posing as a truck driver to bust drug traffickers when their narcotics are delivered to a rendezvous point.
Instead, things spun out of control. Shortly before the marijuana delivery was to be made Monday afternoon, three sport-utility vehicles carrying Zetas cartel gunmen seemingly came out of nowhere and cut off the tanker truck as it rumbled through northwest Harris County, sources told the Chronicle.
They sprayed the cab with bullets, killing the civilian driver, who was secretly working with the government. A sheriff's deputy, who was driving nearby in another vehicle, was wounded, possibly by friendly fire…
Sources discussed aspects of the shoot-out on the condition that they not be identified publicly due to the sensitivity of the ongoing investigation.
A contingent of law-enforcement officers had been covertly shadowing the truck as it eased its way through the Houston area to deliver a load of marijuana fresh from the Rio Grande Valley…
As the gunmen attacked, officers quickly jumped into the fray and also opened fire on the attackers. The truck kept rolling until it careened off the roadway and came to a halt.
Dozens of law-enforcement officers descended on the scene as well as fanned out in the surrounding neighborhoods.
Four suspects, all believed to be citizens of Mexico, were arrested and charged Monday with capital murder in connection with the shooting…
…The sheriff's deputy, who has not yet been identified publicly, was hit in the knee during the melee, which involved several cars and guns…
Authorities would not discuss how the deceased driver, who in addition to being a confidential informant and holding a job as a commercial truck driver, first made contact with the traffickers….
…While some of the arrested attackers have allegedly admitted to an affiliation with the Mexico-based Zetas, authorities said they are trying to determine why such a bold and risky attack was launched over just 300 pounds of marijuana…
A 3:01 minute news video concerning the incident can be accessed via:
http://abclocal.go.com/ktrk/story?section=news/local&id=8439923 [2].
Who: Los Zetas' personnel (Three Mexican nationals captured—two from Neuvo Laredo; Eric De Luna, 23; Ricardo Ramirez, 35 and Rolando Resendiz, 34; one other individual— Fernando Tavera, 19).
See primary source for booking photos [1] and another source for prior convictions and charges via court documents [7]. Other Zetas' personnel are thought to have fled the incident scene. Three SUVs (a Black Lincoln Navigator was recovered at the scene) were utilized.
What: Planned multi-agency law enforcement 'controlled delivery' using a confidential informant driving a 18-wheeler tanker truck with 300 lbs of marijuana interdicted by Los Zetas' commando with ensuing fire fight. Confidential informant killed, undercover Harris county sheriffs deputy wounded (HCSO), and four Zetas captured.
When: Monday afternoon, 21 November 2011.
Where: On Hollister Drive near Bourgeois Road in Northwest Harris County, Texas (near Houston) [6].
Why: Unknown; theories include the targeted killing (assassination) of the confidential informant and that a rip-off crew was assembled to steal what was thought to be a much larger load of marijuana. Another possibility is that the load was targeted because it was operating on Los Zetas turf and those associated with it had not paid local protection money (plaza taxes).
Tactical Analysis: This is a significant event and represents an escalation in cross border violence. According to Javier Pena, the new head of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration's Houston Division, "Everybody is surprised at the brazenness…We haven't seen this type of violence, which concerns us." [1].
Given that the truck cab was sprayed with bullets it can be assumed that some of Los Zetas personnel carried semi-automatic rifles. No mention of individual body armor, vehicular armor, or actual weapons carried has been disclosed. All captured Zetas had military style (short) haircuts with no tattoos evident in the booking photos so unit discipline is noted. US law enforcement presence was significant when the Los Zetas offensive action took place and was augmented with dozens of responding officers. Under other circumstances, the three vehicle (SUV) Los Zetas commando' could have potentially overwhelmed one or two responding police units if a 'controlled delivery' law enforcement operation had not been taking place.
Of additional concern are three other cross border homicide incidents recently mentioned in press reports. Concerning the first incident, a federal grand jury indictment (now sealed) stated that US Border Agent Brian A. Terry was killed in Mesquite Seep, Arizona, by an offensive patrol—"with the intent to 'intentionally and forcibly assault' Border Patrol agents"— composed of five illegal Mexican immigrants [3]. At least two of these individuals carried AK-47 semi-automatic rifles at ready position (barrel down at 45 degree angle/gun butt in shoulder)— in a meeting engagement on 14 December 2010 at 11:15 pm. The two AK-47s have been traced back to the failed BATF 'Fast and Furious' operation [3]. The Peck Canyon area is a well-known human and drug smuggling route. Which Mexican cartel, or drug gang the offensive narco unit was associated with was not disclosed.
The second incident took place in Hidalgo County, Texas on Sunday 30 October 2011 during a traffic stop. Deputy Hugo Rodriguez was shot by David Gonzales Perez, a Gulf cartel contractor, in the chest and abdomen. Perez and another cartel operative had kidnapped two individuals who purportedly knew where over a thousand pounds of stolen Gulf cartel marijuana had been stashed. Perez was killed in the ensuing gun battle with the wounded deputy and his partner [4]. The third incident took place on Monday 21 November 2011 about 20 miles northwest of the border city of Nogales, Texas in the Devil's Canyon area of the Tumacacori Mountains. Three men, two of which have been identified as Mexican nationals, were found dead, shot in the head execution style. The bodies had lain in the area for up to two weeks. The executed men are suspected of being drug traffickers [5].

Violence Moves from the Gulf to the Pacific
As a consequence of the joint operations in Veracruz, Coahuila and Tamaulipas, executions linked to organized crime in those states have declined by 20% from the previous month, when 199 murders were recorded.
By contrast, there was an increased in violent murders in Sinaloa and Jalisco, where in just the last 25 days 221 executions have been recorded, surpassing 38 killings during the same time in Veracruz, Tamaulipas and Coahuila.
29% of all recorded executions so far this November across the country have been committed in Sinaloa, where only on Wednesday 24 bodies were found.
In addition Sinaloa is just under the state of Chihuahua as the most violent state but if the trend continue that could easily change.
The 42 executions recorded in Jalisco in November is the most violent month in the state so far for 2011, ahead of July when there were 35 murders.
The decrease in the number of executions in Tamaulipas, Veracruz and Coahuila is a result of the operations "Laguna Segura" and "Veracruz Seguro" that the federal government implemented last October where they managed to captured Sotero Aguilar, El Tony, accountant for Los Zetas. But it looks like this has forced Los Zetas to move in to Sinaloa territory creating a shift in violence.
The Mexican government still considers this a step in the right direction. According to the National Defense Secretariat blows to this criminal group helped in reducing the overall crime rates by 50% and 62.62% reduction in executions.
Another state where the Mexican government set up operations was Guerrero that reported 33 executions in November.

Caracuaro, Michoacan Police Force Walks Out Over Threats
The entire police force of a town in the western Mexican state of Michoacan has deserted due to death threats from suspected drug traffickers, officials said.
The 32 police working in two shifts in the town of Caracuaro, home to just over 10,000 people, decided to flee for fear they and their family members would be targeted by drug-gang hit men, the state's Public Safety Secretariat said on Friday.
None of the 32 police has formally resigned and therefore will be dismissed if they do not show up for work within the legally specified timeframe, a spokesperson for the state's Security Council said.
The police may have abandoned their posts due to threats from suspected drug traffickers after a clash with the criminals on Wednesday, when they provided backup to cops in the neighboring municipality of Nocupetaro, the spokesperson said.
Eighteen members of Caracuaro's police force walked out between Wednesday and Thursday and the other 14 joined their colleagues Friday after more death threats were issued, prompting local authorities to request the deployment of army soldiers to the town.
Caracuaro is located in the so-called Tierra Caliente region, which straddles parts of Michoacan and the neighboring states of Guerrero and Mexico and is being fought over by the La Familia Michoacana and Los Caballeros Templarios drug cartels.
Drug-related violence in that region of western Mexico also has led to the desertion of police forces in the Michoacan towns of Tiquicheo, Tancitaro and Tuzantla.
Caracuaro is a historically important town where Mexican independence hero Jose Maria Morelos served as parish priest before joining the armed struggle against Spanish rule.
Michoacan has been one of the states hardest hit by the drug-related violence that has claimed nearly 50,000 lives in Mexico since December 2006, when President Felipe Calderon took office and militarized the struggle against the cartels.

The Greatest Flip Phone Releases of All Time
Feeling nostalgic? Before a time of streaming video on your mobile or swiping touchscreen gestures, flip phones totally rocked. Their compact size was mind blowing and who DIDN'T love the satisfaction of closing a handset after a call.
Take a trip down memory lane as we remind you of the greatest flip phones of all time.
Motorola RAZR2 V8
First things first, if there's one mobile maker that managed to perfect the flip phone, then it's Motorola. Motorola launched a whole range of smart-looking flip phones which moved away from the large, clumpy handsets circulating circa the mid noughties. Instead, the RAZR2 V8 is a sleek and stylish handset, with razor thin dimensions that could slide into anyone's pocket.
If having a super slim smartphone is important to you, check out our round-up of the top 10 thinnest smartphones.
The keypad on the inside of the phone is every inch as stylish as the outside; with a flat aluminium embossed keypad and an in-built music launch button, the V8 is any cool music lover's dream.
Samsung P900
The Samsung P900 doesn't look like your typical phone- in fact it looks more like a hammerhead shark than a flip phone!
The P900 sports a 2.2-inch display- tiny by today's standards- which, as you can see, flips on its side to offer you the best TV watching experience from any 2006 mobile. The P900 has a phonebook which can fit in 1000 contacts (who really has that many friends?) as well as a 2 megapixel camera and a TV receiver to make the most of its hammerhead screen.
The LG U8138- despite its less than catchy name- is one of the classic flip phones which comes equipped with an un-screwable antenna, colourful shell and, wait for it, a scrollable camera.
OK, so the U8138 might not be as impressive under the hood as the Samsung P900 (after all, you can only store 500 of your favourite contacts!), but with a VGA camera lens that you can swivel 180 degrees, this LG flip phone became one of the founding fathers of the selfie!
Nokia 7373
The Nokia 7373 is another cracking retro phone bound to bring back the memories of times gone by.
A combination of a flip phone and a swivel handset, the 7373 was the perfect phone for the fashion conscious of users. With a pink leather-bound and wood effect back casing, along with a swirly pattern on the fascia, the Nokia 7373 was great for the girliest of girls in need of a phone to snap photos, listen to the in-built FM radio and play the odd game of Sudoku.
Samsung E530
As usual, Samsung is making another appearance on the list, this time with the E500. The E500 has taken design seriously, and is another pink-tinged phone to sit alongside the Nokia 7373. The handset has been shaped like a smooth pebble, offering not one but two screens- the second perfect for displaying the time in a fancy clock format as pictured above.
The Samsung E500 was ideal for gamers back in 2005, with games such as Bobby Carrot, Airship Racing, and Freekick + already built into the device, and many more available to download.
Motorola Pebl U6
True to its name, the Motorola Pebl U6 looks in every way like a pebble just washed up on the beach. The handset features a perfectly flat, aluminium keypad, finishing off the smooth design of the phone perfectly.
On the front of the handset you've got your second screen, which let's face it, we became to expect by 2005. Available in blue, black, pink and orange and green, the Pebl U6 really embraced the colourful flip phone trend.
Samsung E500
Samsung really knew what to do when it came to designing its flip phone range, and that's to offer style and sass by the bucket load, with the E530 emerging at the end of it.
With a gold embellished fascia and a mirrored window on the front of the clamshell handset, the Samsung E530 looks like it just stepped out of an Austin Powers movie. What's more, Samsung even gave the keypad a touch of class with gold trim outlining the keypad.
They don't make 'em like they used to, eh?
Nokia N93i
Saving the best till last is the Nokia N93i. Perhaps being the inspiration for the Samsung Galaxy K Zoom, the N93i poses as a half-phone, half- camera.
As a mobile phone, the Nokia N93i flips at the wide part of the device, offering a much larger display than most of its clamshell counterparts. Because of this design, the Nokia handset is perfect for gaming and editing your photos.
Speaking of photos, flipping the phone on its side turns the handset into a bona fide video camera, packed with a massive 3.15 megapixel lens with Carl Zeiss optics and a 3 x optical zoom.
The Best Flip Phones Ever!
As retro releases, their specs of these flip phones may look lame against the likes of today's smartphones. Love them or loathe them, we can't ignore the significance they played in bringing us the smartphones of today.

Video:How to Peel a Plantainwith Roblé Ali
Learn a quick and easy way to peel a plantain with tips from our professional chef. See these step-by-step instructions on how to peel a plantain since plantains and bananas are different, and require different treatment.See Transcript
Transcript:How to Peel a PlantainHi, I'm Roblé for About.com. Today I'm going to show you have to peel one of these. This is a plantain. They can prove pretty difficult to peel if you don't know what you are doing. After watching this video you will. Here we go.
Instructions for Peeling a PlantainSo, here we have a pot of boiling water. What you want to do is to take your plantain drop it right into the pot and let it boil for about three minutes. Make sure you have one of these. A nice bowl of ice water. We will use this to rapidly cool the plantain after it comes out of the boiling water.
So, three minutes later take your plantain and drop it right into the ice water. Let it sit in here for about 10 minutes so it can show all the way through. So, once you're plantain is cooled you want to take a knife and cut off the tips.
Cutting the PlantainNext, you want to take about 3 cm of your knife and cut along the ridges of the plantain. Just follow the ridge all the way down the link of the plantain. Repeat this process along all of the ridges. Be careful. Please don't cut yourself.
So, after you've made all of your cuts along the ridges you want to take your knife angle between the ridges and peel back. You see that the skin of the plantain is releasing easily from the flesh. Keep repeating this process all the way around the plantain. You might notice little bits and pieces left on the plantain. Just go ahead and scrape those off. Here you have yourself a nice clean plantain.

MEDINAH, Ill. -- Keegan Bradley and Phil Mickelson have won again, and this time they did it in record fashion.
The Americans beat Lee Westwood and Luke Donald 7 and 6 on Saturday, matching the Ryder Cup record for most lopsided finish in an 18-hole team match. It had happened twice before, most recently in 1991, both times in foursomes.
Bradley is now 3-0, the best start in the Ryder Cup for a U.S. rookie since that guy he was playing with did it in 1995. And it handed Donald his second straight loss in foursomes after going unbeaten his first six times out.
The Americans lead Europe 6-3, and are up in two other matches.

Almost 20 firefighters worked for more than an hour overnight trying to get a driver out of his car after he hit a tree.
Investigators say just after midnight, a Mazda was southbound on the Interstate 45 feeder just south of Lake Woodlands.
As the vehicle passed under Lake Woodlands he hit the left curb and struck a pine tree in the between the freeway and feeder. Investigators say the car was wrapped around the tree.
The 24-year-old driver was trapped inside, and almost twenty firefighters worked for over an hour to free him.
The driver's name has not been released, but investigators say he was flown to Hermann Hospital in Houston by Life Flight in stable condition.

Gear Review
Best Harness Ever!
I've been using this harness for years for indoor and outdoor rock climbing and mountaineering. I've tried others but keep coming back! I find it plenty comfortable for a day of climbing and I like this style better than the full leg loops which I always fidget with and never quite feel right. I also LOVE that it's easy to put on while keeping both feet on the ground - way important when you're perched on an icy slope trying to get your harness on - and it's fast to adjust for different layers. I have a 24" waist and small hips and the XS fits well. I find that many other brands don't go small enough to make me feel secure when I'm just in one layer. Great harness!

My suggestions for myself are: Open AND closed rhinoplasty. I hate the width of my nose bridge and I hate the flare of the nostrils. Facial injections to fill out nasolabial folds around mouth and give my lower face more volume. Subnasal lip lift to increase cupid's bow and reduce philtrum visibility. Chin liposuction to even out face shape and fat grafting from this procedure could possibly be used to fill in nasolabial fold lines around mouth. Canthopexy or "big eye" surgery. Suggestions??

EESS Spring Seminar Series - Eric Lambin, Professor, EESS, Senior Fellow, Woods Institute for the Environment, Stanford University
EESS Spring Seminar Series - Eric Lambin, Professor, EESS, Senior Fellow, Woods Institute for the Environment, Stanford, "Globalization is increasingly driving land use changes", Abstract: A central challenge for sustainability is how to preserve forest ecosystems and the services that they provide us while enhancing food production. This challenge for developing countries confronts the force of economic globalization, which seeks cropland that is shrinking in availability and triggers deforestation. Land use changes are increasingly associated with commodities produced for global markets. In parallel, the final consumers of agricultural and wood commodities and the corporations involved in their retailing show a growing concern for sustainability. In this talk, I examine three claims based on recent evidence: (i) Land with a good agro-ecological potential becomes a scarce resource globally; (ii) Economic globalization leads to an acceleration of land conversion; (iii) Globalization allows for new forms of market-based governance that effectively promote sustainable land use.

In Spite of Drought

In a desert situation when there is drought, what water reclamation strategies have you been able to experiment with since you arrived in NM?
I noticed how low the river has been from your photos, curious to how it affects your own hotspring.
Have you tried using/experimenting with atmospheric water collecting units before?
What happens when there's no water?
- September 12, 2011 at 1:45 PM
- Wendy Jehanara Tremayne said...
we're going to try a pond to clean the hot spring water so that it can at least be used for irrigation (if not drinking). and we catch rainwater for irrigation.
what kind of atmospheric collectors are you thinking of? we have only 5% humidity so i don't think our atmosphere is holding any water.
- September 12, 2011 at 2:06 PM
- Andrew Hunt said...
Yikes, 5% humidity! I was curious how an air-well would condense water in the desert, but at 5% humidity I wonder if you even get dew.
I've always been inspired by Frank Herbert's Dune and transforming arid regions, which is why I posited the query on condensers as I currently live in a rather humid location ( but love the desert), without an adequate environment to try them all!
I'll just share a reference in the meantime:
I sometimes wonder how a hot spring, air well duo could work.
- September 15, 2011 at 9:15 PM
- Andrew Hunt said...
There are a lot of other dehumidifiers, moisture to potable water units out there... Ecoblue, dewpoint, come to mind. I'd like to see a larger system at work, modded with solar - so I thought it could be a possible water collection method in a homestead situation.
You did say you were in a drought too so I can see how they would be less effective, but I did see that you do have an average 40~% humidity in NM, could work.

mac book vs Power Mac book
Ok so I have not yet taken the plunge. Im struggeling to see why I should shell out the 100% extra cash to buy the power book, when it seems to me the macbook is smaller and more portable and the new version now has the same 2.16 processor as the bottom price power book. like for like they are very similar.
So why should I shell out the extra cash? tell me more....
My main use is photoshop and web work and I am considering buying a stand alone 20in monitor for desk work.
I'm not sure if I understand what you are asking here.
Are you pitting a MacBook against a PowerBook?... or is it a MacBook against a MacBook Pro... or MacBook vs. Mac Pro?
If you are buying a 20" monitor anyway, then any one of those machines would be able to use it.
Also, if you are using the latest CS3 Version of Photoshop, then any of those machines would handle it just fine. Just make sure that you get enough RAM for it, I would reccommend at least 1 GB.
The poll you listed seems a bit pointless, but if those features are attractive to you, then get the machine that has them.
If not, then don't.
This sub forum is for the Mac Pro and PowerMac desktops.
There are sub forums for the Macbook and Macbook pro where this sort of question gets asked every day.
If you are graphically biased then a Macbook pro will perform better. But even a Macbook is better than older PPC Mac laptops.
Thanks, I realise now that I am in the wrong area but am grateful for your understanding. I also take your point about the poll. I think Ill settle for the cheaper option and just beef it up a bit. Thank You...

Chocolate-Covered Strawberries
OPEN KITCHEN with NATHAN SCOTT
Chocolate-Covered Strawberries
Tempering is a process that helps bring out the best quality in your chocolate. Tempered chocolate is shiny in appearance, sets up more quickly than un-tempered chocolate, and breaks with a nice "snap."
Makes 1 pound
|ounces semi-sweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
|pound large strawberries, washed and patted dry
|cup assorted garnishes, such as pistachios, hazelnuts, sweetened coconut, or mini chocolate chips, finely chopped
|ounces white chocolate, coarsely chopped
- Place 6 ounces of the semi-sweet chocolate in a heatproof mixing bowl. Set the bowl over a saucepan filled with an inch of simmering water. Turn off the heat and let the chocolate melt over the hot water, stirring often, until the chocolate reaches a temperature of 118°F on a candy thermometer. Remove the bowl from the saucepan.
- Add the remaining 2 ounces of the semi-sweet chocolate and stir until the temperature of the chocolate reduces to 80°F. Return the bowl of chocolate to the saucepan of hot water and allow it to set until the chocolate reaches a temperature of 86°F to 90°F.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Working with one berry at a time, dip the strawberries in the tempered chocolate, coating the sides of the berry evenly with the chocolate. Sprinkle each chocolate-covered strawberry with some of the assorted garnishes, and place the berry on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining berries. Refrigerate for 15 minutes, or until the chocolate is set.
- Meanwhile, repeat Steps 1 and 2 with the white chocolate. This time however, melt the 6 ounces of white chocolate until it reaches a temperature of 114°F. Then, add the remaining 2 ounces of white chocolate, cool to 80°F, and finally reheat to a temperature of 83°F
- Drizzle the finished strawberries with the tempered white chocolate and return to the refrigerator to chill until the white chocolate has set, 10 to 15 minutes more. Serve.

It's Nottingham Forest versus Derby County as bosses go head-to-head for award
Posted: January 09, 2014|
THE latest Championship battle has pitted Nottingham Forest against old enemies Derby County.
Reds boss Billy Davies and Rams manager Steve McClaren have both today been nominated for the division's Manager of the Month award for December.
And fans don't have long to wait to find out if their club's boss will come out on top because the winner will be announced tomorrow, with Birmingham City's Lee Clark and Ipswich Town's Mick McCarthy also in the running.
With Davies and McClaren both up for the award, there is certainly an extra edge to it, especially because they have also both managed Forest and Derby in the past.
They have been shortlisted for it after a super December at both ends of Brian Clough Way that has put both clubs right in contention for promotion into the Premier League at the start of 2014.
Davies led the Reds to two cracking wins against promotion rivals QPR and Leeds United at the City Ground over Christmas.
Forest were unbeaten in six games in December as they ended last year on a high, also beating Sheffield Wednesday 1-0 and drawing games against Millwall, Ipswich Town and Birmingham.
They also scored seven goals and kept four clean sheets.
Vice-chair of Forest Supporters' Club Rita Kirk, 74, thinks Davies deserves the award.
"He has fostered a fantastic team spirit. We enjoyed an excellent December," she said.
"Given how hard some of the matches have been, then I would be delighted if Billy wins – he deserves it.
"He has got the team trying so hard to get that promotion back to the Premier League."
Former Reds and England boss McClaren has certainly made a better start to life in the hot seat at Derby than he did at Forest.
He endured a disastrous 13-game reign at the City Ground back in 2011, winning only three games and losing seven before quitting the club.
But he guided the Rams to six wins out of seven games last month, thrashing Blackburn Rovers 5-1 at Pride Park.
"In my opinion, when Steve came to Forest, I was not overly enthralled about it, but you have to give everybody a chance," added Kirk.
"I felt he tried to change too much and came here with the wrong ideas.
"Once you get off on the wrong foot then it's incredibly hard to turn it around."
Chairman of the Derby Supporters' Club John Hemsworth, however, reckons McClaren should win it.
"Steve has done a terrific job," he said. "Looking at December we won six and drew one which is fantastic form."
"Steve has brought in some terrific players in the likes of Andre Wisdom from Liverpool who has been utterly fantastic," added Hemsworth.
"His contacts and ability to bring in high class loans has made a real difference and has been proven in the team's performances.
"It has led to some quality results which, in turn, has helped the crowds improve.
"There have been so many half-season ticket sales last month as a result and it's great to see.
"He and the management team of Paul Simpson and Eric Steele, have really whipped it up and we are also above Forest which is nice."
On Davies' time at Derby, he added: "To his credit, Billy always builds a team who are a strong unit, play for each other and have this siege mentality.
"Where it went wrong for him at Derby was that some of the players who he brought in during the Premier League era just did not come off.
"They were expensive signings too.
"I just think the problem with Billy, in my opinion, is that he has a tendency to shoot himself in the foot."
Meanwhile, Forest are understood to have made an enquiry about highly-rated Blackburn striker Jordan Rhodes – but are unlikely to pursue the player further.
Rovers do not want to sell the player in January.
But, with several Premier League clubs also keen on the Scottish front man, they may be tempted if somebody makes a big offer – although their rigid price tag of £8m has cooled Forest's interest.

Toddler Swaddle
That's right, time to make your toddler snug as a bug. Find a big blanket or sheet and have your toddler lie down with her head up near one corner. Then fold up the bottom corner and then each side, just as you swaddled her when she was a newborn. (You can leave her arms out if you want.)Fold it snug so that your toddler has to wiggle and worm her way out. You can even tickle her a little to help with the wiggling!
Supplies Needed:
- Big blanket
- While you wrap up your toddler talk about how you did this when he was a baby
- As you fold over each corner, count them! 1, 2, 3!
- Talk about how the blanket feels, is it soft, fuzzy, or smooth?

The antigraft agency on Friday questioned a police general who is considered a key witness and suspect in the scandal surrounding the procurement of police driving simulators.
Brig. Gen. Didik Purnomo, deputy head of the National Police Traffic Corps (Korlantas), was interrogated by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) to explain the role of his former boss, Insp. Gen. Djoko Susilo, a suspect in the simulator scandal, in the procurement process.
Didik, who was questioned for six hours in Friday's session, has already been declared a suspect in the scandal that caused Rp 100 billion ($10.4 million) in state losses.
He said after the interrogation that he was questioned as a witness to Djoko's actions and that he had explained everything he knew.
"It's not that many questions but I can't tell you the questions because I've already forgot them. Ask the KPK," he said when reporters inquired about what the KPK had asked.
The KPK investigated the case after receiving reports that police officers accepted bribes during the tender process.
Djoko allegedly received a Rp 2 billion kickback to award a Rp 198 billion contract for driving simulators to an unqualified company acting as an intermediary while he served as head of Korlantas last year. The KPK also accused Didik of accepting a bribe, but did not specify the amount.
The relationship between the National Police and the KPK has been tense since the start of the investigation — the National Police has insisted that it started examining the case before the KPK did. Both institutions named their own suspects in the investigations.
In a move perceived as revenge, police withdrew 20 of its investigators who were on loan to the KPK.
However, after weeks of public pressure, President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono last month ordered police to hand over the case to the KPK.
On Thursday, the KPK also interrogated another suspect, Comr. Legimo, treasurer of Korlantas, on how the money was disbursed to buy the equipment.
"[They questioned me] about what I do, such as the payment system. That's all," he said.
During the eight hour questioning session, Legimo said the money was disbursed in accordance with existing regulations and denied that he had any involvement with the controversy.
"I am just a treasurer, and I have nothing to do with the tender process," he said.

'Judy Blue Eyes' to play Ann Arbor Folk FestivalWritten by Vicki L. Kroll | | email@example.com
For 50 years, Judy Collins has been on a quest to find and write great songs.
"Something magical happens when you hear a song that you get attached to," she said. "It's mystical; you can't diagnose it; you can't examine it and explore it and get any kind of an answer, at least I can't because it is magical."
The folk icon is a music conjurer; there's no misdirection, just a straightforward performance and voila! She's made the song her own. Think "Both Sides Now," "Amazing Grace" and "Send in the Clowns."
On her 2010 disc, "Paradise," the 71-year-old opens with the main song from "The Wizard of Oz."
"I was given the opportunity to do a children's book on the Peter Yarrow imprint of children's music picture books, and he wanted me to do 'Over the Rainbow,' which I'd never sung, although I was named after Judy Garland, which is nice. I was born in the same year the movie came out," Collins said.
A few seconds later during the phone interview, Collins, who was in London, recalled, "I sang ['Over the Rainbow'] on 'The Dinah Shore Show' in 1981, and that program made it to YouTube, so you can see it there."
Fans may see the Grammy Award winner perform that classic at the Ann Arbor Folk Festival Jan. 29 at 6:30 p.m. at Hill Auditorium. Tickets are $47.50 and $30 or $85 and $50 for both nights.
"I think [folk music] was always a powerful force long before the '60s happened, but certainly during the '60s when it had kind of a rebirth, it was very helpful to focus people on the things that needed doing," she said. "I think it's a powerful force in galvanizing people emotionally and helping them to do the right thing."
Collins is finishing a book, "Suite Judy Blue Eyes: Sex, Drugs, Rock 'n' Roll and the Music That Changed a Generation," which she said will be out this fall, along with a new disc.
While she couldn't talk about the projects, when asked what it's like to have a well-known Crosby, Stills & Nash song written for her, she replied, "It gets a girl's attention."
She and Stephen Stills sing a duet on "The Last Thing on My Mind" on "Paradise."
"We've been friends all these years, but we'd never sung together," she said. "We actually recorded together on my album in 1968 during that love affair when he wrote 'Suite Judy Blue Eyes,' but we'd never sung together, so it was thrilling."
