More states allow felons to regain vote
    Washington Times

"A growing number of states, nine in the past several years, are
allowing convicted felons to regain their voting rights. Since 1996,
nine states, including Maryland and Virginia, have eliminated some
voting barriers for people with felony convictions, according to a
report by the Sentencing Project, a think tank that advocates
alternatives to imprisonment. Three states -- Utah, Massachusetts and
Kansas -- have toughened voting policies for felons in that same
seven-year period, researchers for the report found. Kansas has
limited voting to felons on probation; Massachusetts and Utah have
disenfranchised felons in prison." (12/28/03)

11) Shooting of activist spurs Israeli scrutiny
    Christian Science Monitor

"With more than 2,200 Palestinians killed in the West Bank and Gaza
and a great many more injured by army gunfire during three years of
fighting, the wounding of a young man during a demonstration would
not be expected to make headlines in Israel. But Sunday, hardly a
newscast went by without mention of the man's condition, and his
shooting ignited calls for an independent inquiry. This time, the
soldiers had shot an Israeli, a kibbutznik who himself was wearing an
army uniform until a few weeks ago. Human rights groups argue that
the shooting of Gil Naamati Friday ... confirms what they have been
charging for three years: that the army regularly shoots, and often
kills Palestinians, when soldiers' lives are not endangered."

Worried pain doctors decry prosecutions
    Washington Post

"In recent years, similar charges of illegally prescribing
prescription narcotics, criminal conspiracy, racketeering and even
murder have been brought in dozens of states against scores of
doctors who treat chronic pain with prescription narcotics. At least
two have been imprisoned, one committed suicide, several are awaiting
sentencing, many are preparing for trial, and more have lost their
licenses to practice medicine and accumulated huge legal bills."

Pot supporter unfazed by Canadian Supreme Court ruling
    MAPINC

"A Supreme Court of Canada decision upholding a federal law
prohibiting possession of small amounts of marijuana doesn't faze
Victor (Randy) Caine, the former South Surrey resident whose arrest
10 years ago in White Rock went all the way to the highest court in
the land. 'I'm not surprised by it, or disturbed by it,' Caine said
of the 6-3 ruling Dec. 23 that the federal law does not violate the
Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Canada's top judges ruled it's up to
Parliament to change that law. Caine takes comfort from the fact
three judges agreed the ban violates Canadian rights. ... 'I'm not
waiting for any government or any judge to tell me that I'm free. If
I'm waiting for that, I will remain a slave to them forever.'"

Straining the system
    Daily Home

"Although drug abuse puts a strain on virtually every aspect of civil
society, it probably places no greater burden anywhere than on the
justice system. And, according to local prosecutors, at least one of
the major factors in creating this strain is a lack of resources to
punish those who break drug laws. [Talladega County, AL, District
Attorney] Steve Giddens estimates that about half of the criminal
cases set to go to trial every month are pure drug cases, either
possession of marijuana or other controlled substances, distribution,
trafficking, manufacturing and others." (12/27/03)
