Via CNN:
An informant cited in a search warrant as having purchased narcotics at an elderly Atlanta woman’s house denies buying drugs there, authorities say.
Undercover officers raiding the 88-year-old woman’s house shot her to death last week after she fired on them while they broke down her door in a high-crime neighborhood.
At a “First Amendment awards dinner,†former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-GA) said yesterday “the country will be forced to reexamine freedom of speech to meet the threat of terrorism.†He said a “different set of rules†may be needed to limit “terrorists’ ability to use the Internet and free speech.â€

Dick Cheney’s mission to expand — or ‘restore’ –the powers of the presidency
In July 1987, then-Representative Dick Cheney, the top Republican on the committee investigating the Iran-contra scandal, turned on his hearing room microphone and delivered, in his characteristically measured tone, a revolutionary claim.
President Reagan and his top aides, he asserted, were free to ignore a 1982 law at the center of the scandal. Known as the Boland Amendment, it banned US assistance to anti-Marxist militants in Nicaragua.
“I personally do not believe the Boland Amendment applied to the president, nor to his immediate staff,” Cheney said.
