Apparently important to actor Robert Blake's acquittal on a murder
charge in March was the lack of credibility of the prosecution's
witnesses, including an alleged methamphetamine abuser who once
thought his house was surrounded by large, horned animals and "people
dressed like sagebrush or Joshua trees." To testify that drug users
are unreliable witnesses, the defense presented a UCLA
psychopharmacologist who revealed that in the course of his own drug
use 25 years ago, he had once crawled into a cage of monkeys that were
smoking crack cocaine. [Los Angeles Times, 3-4-05]

And in totally unimportant news, Human Rights Watch presents evidence
that top Bush Administration officials responsible for widespread
torture and abuse of prisoners in locations all over the globe.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Human Rights Watch is demanding that a special prosecutor be named to
investigate Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, former CIA director
George Tenet and other top officials for possible war crimes related
to the torture and abuse of prisoners.

An internal investigation by the Army's inspector general has cleared
four of the Army's top five officers in Iraq of any wrongdoing in
connection to the torture of Iraqi detainees at the Abu Ghraib prison.
Unless new evidence emerges, the investigation effectively ends the
Army's investigation into its role in the abuse at the Abu Ghraib
prison.

Meanwhile, Human Rights Watch has demanded that a special prosecutor
be named to investigate Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, former CIA
director George Tenet and other top officials for possible war crimes
related to the torture and abuse of prisoners.

The report, titled "Getting Away with Torture? Command Responsibility
for the U.S Abuse of Detainees" - found that there was overwhelming
evidence of widespread mistreatment and abuse of Muslim prisoners not
only at Abu Ghraib but throughout Afghanistan and Iraq, Guantanamo Bay
and other "secret locations" around the world. The report also called
for investigations of Lt. General Ricardo Sanchez - the former top U.S
commander in Iraq - and General Geoffery Miller the former commander
of the prison camp at Guantanamo Bay.
