A federal judge Monday denied an emergency motion for relief filed by
a Guantanamo Bay prisoner on a hunger strike, despite pleas from the
man's lawyer who says his client is dying.U.S. District Judge Thomas Hogan
ruled Monday that he didn't have jurisdiction over the case filed by
Yemeni prisoner Musaab al-Madhwani. Hogan pointed to a provision of the
Military Commissions Act which bars judicial review of claims made by detained
enemy combatants regarding their conditions of confinement.The prisoner
and others in the hunger strike originally claimed that they were being
denied drinking water and that temperatures in the prison had been kept
at "extremely frigid" levels -- which the government denied. But the claim
was expanded to include the allegation that Guantanamo officials had shown
"deliberate indifference" to the prisoners' serious medical needs.Although
the case was technically about just one detainee, it was clearly about
the continued use of Guantanamo to house terrorism suspects, despite President
Barack Obama's promise to close the prison. When one of al-Madhwani's lawyers,
Darold Killmer, mentioned the alleged mistreatment of other detainees, Hogan
responded, "This is not a class-action."At the end of the roughly one-hour
hearing, Hogan noted that al-Madhwani voluntarily participated in the hunger
strike, adding that the prisoner "self-manufactured" his health situation.Earlier,
Killmer, told the judge, "Mr. al-Madhwani is d

Court on another matter. The department was allegedly concerned that the
high court, in the course of reviewing that case, would strike down
a major element of civil rights enforcement."Perez simply could not allow
the Court to rule," the report said. "Perez sought leverage to stop
the city from pressing its appeal."The case the Justice Department was allegedly
concerned about was St. Paul's appeal to the Supreme Court, on a
case in which property owners said the city made extraordinary efforts,
through strict code enforcement, to condemn their properties.The owners
said reducing the amount of affordable housing for minorities violated the
federal Fair Housing Act -- by what is known as "disparate impact."Perez
appeared to think the Supreme Court overturning the case would have been
a severe blow to civil rights enforcement, the report concluded.The "disparate
impact" provision, which the report described as legally questionable, prohibits
housing policies that end up discriminating against certain groups even
if those policies are not blatantly discriminatory."Perez sought, facilitated,
and consummated this deal because he feared that the Court would find
disparate impact unsupported by the text of the Fair Housing Act," the
report said.The other end of the alleged deal was for the Justice
Department not to get involved in cases against the city of St.
Paul that alleged the city received millions in Department of Housing and

off her shorts and partially removed her bra, exposing her breasts, the
newspaper reported. Markings were found on her chest, legs, back and near
her genitalia."They wrote `Blank Was Here,' on her leg," said family attorney
Robert Allard, not using the actual name because the suspect is a
juvenile. "They marked her."Lisa Pott, the stepmother of Audrie, said the
three suspects were removed from the football team after her suicide but
weren't expelled from school, despite their pleas to the principal.She said
Audrie had been dealing with bullying problems at school prior to the
assault, and the family had asked the principal for help last spring.Jane
Marashian, a spokeswoman for the school district, said officials had no
comment in response to that claim.Attorney Eric Geffon, who represents one
of the three suspects, told The Associated Press that attorneys representing
all three will have a statement Tuesday after a hearing in Juvenile
Court.Geffon said the boys were cited last fall but no formal charges
were filed against them until Santa Clara County sheriff's deputies arrested
two boys at Saratoga High School and a third, a former Saratoga
High student, at Christopher High in Gilroy where he currently was a
student. They have been held in the county juvenile detention center since
Thursday.Audrie Pott's father, mother and stepmother said they were outraged
by what they see as a refusal to take responsibility by the
teens.
The FBI and state and local police are intensifying their probe into
Monday's bombing at the finish line of the Boston Marathon, vowing a
"world-wide investigation" and appealing to the public for tips and cellphone
pictures that might yield clues about who was behind the horrific attack.No
suspects have emerged, but new details are slowly emerging in the attack,
which killed three and injured at least 176. Two bombs went off
just before 3 p.m., shattering a festive atmosphere several hours after
the legendary race began on the city's 238th annual Patriot's Day. An
eight-year-old boy was among the dead and several runners and spectators
suffered severe injuries including severed limbs as the bombs sent shrapnel
flying."This will be a world-wide investigation," Special Agent-in-Charge
of the FBI's Boston Field Office Richard DesLauriers said at a Tuesday
morning news conference, adding that investigators will go "wherever the
leads take us.""We will go to the ends of the Earth to
identify the suspects responsible for this despicable crime," he added.Boston
Police Commissioner Ed Davis appealed to the public to come forward with
any information or photographic evidence that might help authorities zero
in on the killers."Were looking to bring the individuals responsible for
this heinous crime to justice," he said.Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick
said the two bombs were the only explosive devices found in the
area, discounting prior reports
