Nuclear secret-selling guy out of jail - anti-war guy in jail
From: www.legitgov.org

Pakistan releases 'father' of nuclear bomb from house arrest 06 Feb 2009 Abdul Qadeer Khan, the Pakistani scientist accused of selling nuclear secrets, was today freed from five years of house arrest by a court and immediately declared that he can now "lead a normal life". Khan, lionised as the "father" of Pakistan's atomic bomb, confessed in 2004 to selling nuclear secrets to Iran, North Korea and Libya. He was immediately pardoned but detained in his home.


Army deserter deported from Canada, placed in Whatcom County Jail
06 Feb 2009 (WA) Cliff Cornell fled the U.S. Army four years ago for British Columbia when his Georgia artillery unit was ordered to serve in the Iraq War. On Wednesday, Feb. 4, Cornell was deported from Canada, arrested in the U.S. and booked into the Whatcom County jail. Cornell, who is from Arkansas, is going to be released on his own recognizance and ordered to report to Fort Stewart in Georgia, said Gene Marx, a local peace activist and member of the Bellingham Veterans for Peace, Chapter 111. (So let me get this straight. A-bomb nuclear secret-selling guy*out* of jail - anti-war guy *in* jail. Ok, got it. --LRP)

1. And we tried to keep him here,
but our damn conservative government is not up to asking the populace for their opinion.
