Amanda Knox Prosecutors need to learn

that just because they "Believe" someone is guilty, doesn't make it so.  And unless the evidence supports them they cannot just demand someone be put in jail.

"Knox has been free at home in Seattle since 2011 when an Italian appeals court threw out her murder conviction.
Despite the ruling, prosecutors and Kercher's family want to see Knox and Sollecito back in prison.
"We feel that Amanda and Raffaele are guilty and were in the room with Rudy Guede," Francesco Maresca, lawyer for the Kercher family, said as he entered the Corte di Cassazione, Italy's supreme court, in Rome today."

Seriously read that.  She is appealing her conviction for telling the truth about her treatment at the hands of the Police.  And the Police and the Prosecutors don't like the fact that their methods and lack of ethics are being brough to light, so they are now trying to misdirect the court of public opinion from the government actors performance of their duties, to the so called guilt of Ms. Knox.

So you read that story, and first understand a few things.

First Italy doesn't have a "Bill of Rights", their constitution doesn't guarantee people the same rights as ours does. They don't have a "Miranda" warning such as our police do.  They don't have to allow you many things that our laws specifically say you should have.  Such as you don't have the RIGHT to have an attorney present during questioning.  Also in Italy they had, I don't know if they still do, but they DID have secret courts, however those were supposed to only be used for cases involving terrorism and organized crime.  So Italy has in place the mechanics of basically grabbing you, holding you incognito, trying you in a secret court, and punishing you by putting you in a prison, without anyone knowing anything.

Re-read that portion.  I said the USED to have those mechanisms in place.  I don't know if they still do.  However with terrorism still around and the fact those were put into place SPECIFICALLY for fighting terrorism, that they found useful in their battle against organized crime, you can probably take it as a given that they still have some form of that judicial system in place.

And Amanda Knox, who claims that she was struck at least twice by a police officer and was not allowed access to an attorney during her questioning, was charged with and convicted of "Slander".

So you have to ask yourself, just what is the Italian Police and Prosecutor's trying to do?  Do they have enough evidence to convict Ms. Knox that hasn't been tampered with or contaminated?  Or do they just want to punish someone who upset their apple cart?

The Obama Administration proves itself incapable

of doing the right and proper thing.

"So as the consulate was pummeled with mortar fire from an organized al-Qaida terrorist attack, the two men, with no preparation and no ground intelligence, just plain stepped forward without any obligation to do so, and died defending the U.S. after the non-U.S. contractors who were paid to do that ran away.

Such information ought to get out, because these men died heroes. They didn't have to be there, but they went anyway defending against a terrorist attack that can only be compared to the Alamo.

But the White House makes no such recognition."

Two Warriors sacrificed themselves to protect lives of the Ambassador and others, and the Obama Administration lies and slanders their acts for political gain.

The Obama Administration shows itself once again to be without Honor.

Fairness Doctrine

From Wikipedia

"The Fairness Doctrine was a regulation of the United States' Federal Communications Commission (FCC) which required broadcast licensees to present controversial issues of public importance, and to present such issues in what was deemed an honest, equal and balanced manner. It has since been repealed by the FCC and aspects of it have been questioned by courts"


This regulation which has been abolished by the FCC since August 1987 has been re-introduced by Representative Dennis Kucinich evidently as the opening salvo of his bid for the Whitehouse in the 2008 election, along with Representative Maurice Hinchley, Representative Louise Slaughter, and Senator Bernie Sanders. This legislation has been decried by conservatives in the media as a way of the liberal media, to receive equal time to present their views. Conservatives have fired back saying that is simply a way keep their views from being expressed or to halve their time on the airwaves.

This on the heels of Air America's Chapter 11 Bankruptcy filing and it's various cash flow problems. Have led to some speculation that the renewal of the Fairness Doctrine is revenge for Air America's failure and a stab at censorship of the airwaves by the liberal left. There is also the possibility that the Democratic members of Congress are attempting an end run to eliminate any advantages republican Presidential Candidates might gain through the airwaves.

Why this sudden rush to bring back the "Fairness Doctrine"? According to some sources it is the owners of Conservative radio shows and radio stations who will not allow opposing views to be broadcast. It has nothing to do with I don't know the lack of RATINGS of the shows being broadcast by Air America. I mean come on who can resist the rantings of ChuckD, Randi Rhodes, Ms. Rhodes again, Mike Malloy, what about the actions of the founders? The founders of the network embezzled funds from Gloria Wise Boy and Girls Club of New York. Do you hear this being broadcast by the liberal media? and lets not forget the premium host of the network Al Franken.

Tell me why should we bring back the Fairness Doctrine, if the so called opposing viewpoint which is not being heard, is nothing but a series of personal rants unsubstantiated by any shred of truth or proof, meant to whip up a hysterical reaction, and in many cases, actually are blatantly false and border on slander if not actually slanderous.

Why should we bring back the fairness doctrine to allow individuals like these with a personal agenda to spew their hatred and vitriol across our Public Airwaves?
