Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution The Fifth Amendment (Amendment V) to the United States Constitution is part of the Bill of Rights and protects against abuse of government authority. The Amendment requires that felonies be tried only upon indictment by a grand jury; the Grand Jury Clause is one of the few provisions of the Bill of Rights not held to have been incorporated to the states, most of which have replaced grand juries. The Amendment also provides several trial protections, including the right against self-incrimination (held to also apply to custodial interrogations and before most government bodies) as well as the right to be tried only once ("double jeopardy") in federal court for the same offense. The Amendment also has a Due Process Clause (similar to the one in the 14th Amendment) as well as an implied equal protection requirement (Bolling v. Sharpe). Text[edit] Infamous crime[edit] Grand jury[edit] Grand jury indictments may be amended by the prosecution only in limited circumstances. Double jeopardy[edit]

Science News, Articles and Information | Scientific American Rob Kall: Former CIA Agent Ray McGovern Discusses Arrest at Secretary Clinton's Internet Freedom Speech On Tuesday, as U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton spoke on issues of free speech at George Washington University, 71-year-old former CIA analyst Ray McGovern was assaulted, dragged from the room and double handcuffed with metal cuffs causing profuse bleeding. What had he done to elicit this treatment? This was not the first time this former Army intelligence officer employed this form of peaceful, civil resistance. Ray explained that it was in this spirit that he chose to protest Clinton's policies and track record. Hillary is the driving force, together with a few others, behind the wars in Afghanistan. When Secretary Clinton walked into the room, the audience rose and applauded before sitting back down. It was my symbolic way of saying not everybody agrees with her. This time things were very different, Ray commented, "I didn't think that would get me roughed up and arrested for disorderly conduct." They grabbed me and the shock wore off.

cybercrime.gov The Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section (CCIPS) is responsible for implementing the Department's national strategies in combating computer and intellectual property crimes worldwide. CCIPS prevents, investigates, and prosecutes computer crimes by working with other government agencies, the private sector, academic institutions, and foreign counterparts. Section attorneys work to improve the domestic and international infrastructure-legal, technological, and operational-to pursue network criminals most effectively. The Section's enforcement responsibilities against intellectual property crimes are similarly multi-faceted. Intellectual Property (IP) has become one of the principal U.S. economic engines, and the nation is a target of choice for thieves of material protected by copyright, trademark, or trade-secret designation.

Accueil - Pedopolis Tout s'est globalement bien passé. Quelques problémes techniques, quelques retards et quelques coups de sang, mais nous sommes très satisfaits de cette aventure. La seule réelle boulette était l'absence de livres à la vente, veuillez accepter nos plus plates excuses. Voici le lien pour commander sur Kontre Kulture: Chérif Delay nous a honoré de sa présence durant ces 4 jours, et s'est ouvert à toutes les questions, même les plus déstabilisantes. Sandrine Chastan s'est aussi joint à nous le premier soir, et nous a fait part d'un témoignage bouleversant sur son affaire, hallucinante. 80 Gigas de rushes sont en cours de montage, tout a bien été enregistré exepté, par sécurité, un témoignage explosif à Marseille le dernier jour. Que ceux qui étaient présents (merci) se rassurent, l'intégralité des visages sera flouté. Les vidéos pour très bientot ;-) Aubagne - 30 Mai 2013 : Jacques Thomet

C Data Activity More and more Web applications provide a means of accessing data. From simple visualizations to sophisticated interactive tools, there is a growing reliance on the availability of data which can be “big” or “small”, of diverse origin, and in different formats; it is usually published without prior coordination with other publishers — let alone with precise modeling or common vocabularies. The Data Activity recognizes and works to overcome this diversity to facilitate potentially Web-scale data integration and processing. It does this by providing standard data exchange formats, models, tools, and guidance. The overall vision of the Data Activity is that people and organizations should be able to share data as far as possible using their existing tools and working practices but in a way that enables others to derive and add value, and to utilize it in ways that suit them. Questions? The Data Activity merges and builds upon the eGovernment and Semantic Web Activities.

Utne Reader: Alternative coverage of politics, culture, and new ideas

Definitely not surprising. Foreign policy has been conducted in this manner for decades and decades. I agree about the media -- it should be their job to go digging, not to be the lapdogs of those they should be watching with a sharp eye. by the_third_man Dec 1

I didn't find any of it surprising though. I also find it hypocritical the way the media is reacting to it. by jmile69 Nov 30
