At 4pm Pacific – Roger “The Legal Schnauzer” Shuler returns with updates from Alabama:

• Department of Justice Pulls a Whitewash on Siegelman Whistleblower
• Whistleblower Tamarah Grimes and her charges that prosecutors used threats against witnesses
• Another dreadful Alabama case. It involves a Huntsville defense contractor named Alex Latifi, whose business was ruined by a bogus federal investigation. Mr. Latifi is of Iranian descent, and USA Today and the ABA Journal have written about his case
• On a different subject, a discrimination case in Alabama involving a medical trainee from India. Apparently, international skilled workers from South Asia often are treated badly in the U.S.–and this case is just one example. A major newspaper in India has written on the issue, but it’s received little attention here…

At 5pm Pacific – Ed ‘The Practical Nomad’ Hasbrouck> returns Did you notice that Obama was asked personally by a Pakistani member of the IOC, while he was pitching the Chicago Olympic bid, about the “horrific” treatment of visitors at US borders & airports: If that’s the reason Chicago lost, how many billions does that cost the USA in visitor dollars, publicity, and goodwill?
Will this finally prompt Obama to do something?
