The 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals overruled a federal district court, which had dismissed the suit in 2002 on grounds the plaintiffs had not exhausted all administrative steps before suing. The plaintiffs, who work in Colorado, Texas, Nebraska and New Mexico, accused the Postal Service of failing to inform them of advancement opportunities, granting merit raises and bonuses unequally and retaliating against them when they complained of alleged discrimination. They filed grievances with the Postal Service and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in 1996. After 180 days passed without a decision by either agency, the workers filed suit in U.S. District Court in Denver in 1997. The plaintiffs are Longino Monreal, Felix Figueroa and Lorenzo Ortiz of Texas; David Medina and Ernest Candelaria of Denver; Richard Sánchez of Omaha, Neb.; and David Naranjo of Española, N.M. The Denver-based 10th Circuit denied the plaintiffs’ request for class-action status, which would have allowed others to join the lawsuit. May/mayo 26, 2004 Iraq could wind up as central Kerry already has drawn election issue criticism from Republicans By TOM RAUM Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON(AP),May 15: The turmoil in Iraq is changing the political equation for President Bush and Democratic rival John Kerry. While the war is eroding public support for Bush, it is also making it harder for Kerry to define himself for voters or promote his domestic priorities. Strategists from both parties had suggested the election probably would come down to a few states, perhaps turning on different issues in different states. Some analysts now are suggesting the race could broaden into a national referendum on Bush’s Iraq policy. As president, Bush has the ability to drive Iraq news coverage; for example, his decision to send his embattled defense secretary, Donald H. Rumsfeld to Iraq for a surprise visit last week. With fewer options as the challenger, Kerry has called for Rumsfeld’s resignation and accused Bush of running an “extraordinarily mismanaged and ineptly prosecuted war.” Those in Kerry’s camp have expressed delight at recent polls showing Bush’s approval rating at the lowest of his presidency. But Bush’s drop in the polls has not translated directly into a surge for Kerry. Also, the Massachusetts senator has had to walk a cautious line as he decides how hard to go after Bush as commander in chief without risking a backlash. who accuse him of politicizing the prisoner-abuse issue. “To suggest that this is a political issue is to fundamentally misunderstand the gravity of the situation,” said Kerry pollster Mark Mellman. “Voters recognize that this is a very serious issue. They recognize that Republicans are raising questions, that independents are raising questions, that all Americans are raising questions about this.” Images of Iraqi prisoner abuse by U.S. soldiers, the gruesome deaths of American civilians at the hands of Iraqi militants, a rising death toll and other calamities have overtaken the political agendas of both parties. Bush and Kerry spent last week stressing domestic issues. Bush campaigned on education, Kerry on health care. It was hard for their message to get out when local and regional news increasingly is influenced by pictures and stories from Iraq. A story on Rumsfeld’s visit to Baghdad was the top frontpage story, for instance, in Friday’s Arkansas DemocratGazette. An account of Kerry’s visit to Little Rock on Thursday received lesser billing. Working to Kerry’s apparent advantage, and to Bush’s disadvantage: Some conservative lawmakers and commentators have been expressing misgivings over the Iraq mission, citing intelligence lapses and Pentagon decisionmaking. Bush sought to address their concerns in a speech to the La Prensa Newspaper Staff Culturas Publications, Inc.

That Bush has to court core supporters this late in the election cycle could indicate trouble. Democrats immediately pounced. “Now he has to go back and spend time shoring up his base,” said Democratic party chief Terry McAuliffe. Political analysts suggest Bush needs to do more to court independents and other swing voters. Polls show that more people are becoming disillusioned by the war. So far, however, that whether Kerry is a qualified alternative, Kohut said. That could give high importance to this fall’s televised debates. Iraq also may command more attention because the economy, which usually is the No. 1 election issue, seems to be recovering after years of weakness. Job growth, for example was strong in March and April. Iraq cannot continue to work against both Bush and Kerry. As Bush’s father, the former president, once observed, the thing about undecided voters is that “eventually they’ll go one way or the other.” has not particularly benefited Kerry. A poll released Wednesday by the Pew Research Center found that a majority of respondents—51 percent— said for the first time that the war in Iraq was not going well. Pew Director Andrew Kohut said in an interview that there are “a lot of independent and swing voters” who could decide the election, but that Kerry has been having difficulty making inroads because their attention is on the president.

For many of the 11 U.S. congressmen and senators, migration is wrapped up in concerns about crime, terrorism and border security; for the 20 Mexican legislators who attended, it’s simply an issue of national dignity. “There are many things México can help us on,” said Rep. Jim Kolbe, R-Ariz. “Working against polleros and coyotes, what they call people-smugglers, is chief among them.” U.S. officials have implicated migrant smugglers in a host of other crimes, ranging from kidnapping and drugtrafficking to the deaths of smuggled migrants. But the Mexicans maintained that the migration of millions of undocumented Mexican workers to the United States is an economic and political issue, not a criminal one. “We expressed to them our concern about the tendency to automatically link the migration issue to organized crime,” said Mexican Rep. Rodrigo Ivan Cortes, of the conservative National Action Party. “Up to now, we don’t have one single case in which migration issues have been linked to terrorism.” Mexican lawmakers noted that migration is fueled by the fact that 25 percent of México’s population depends on the rapidly shrinking farm sector. In the United States, where only 2.7 percent of the population works on farms, employers are hard-pressed to fill jobs with native U.S. citizens. Both sides acknowledged that it was highly unlikely the U.S. Congress would pass a migration accord during this highly charged election year. Kolbe noted that as much as either side might want an accord, “this issue more than other issues doesn’t get solved at the bilateral level.” “It’s up to each congress to legislate it,” he said. “Therefore, we can only exchange ideas.” Sen. Christopher J. Dodd, D-Conn., agreed that there was little chance for the U.S. Congress to make progress on various migration reform bills— proposed both by President Bush and a host of U.S. legislators—that would legalize millions of undocumented Mexicans while providing opportunities for additional Mexicans who want to work in the United States. “You have to be bipartisan. You have to work across aisles,” Dodd said. “You’ve got to work at it, and there’s an absence of that mentality (in the U.S. Congress) that’s causing us serious problems on any of these issues.” But representatives from both sides of the border said it was important to keep trying to bring both perspectives together. “We have to learn to use enormous creativity to view this (migration) issue,” said Mexican Sen. Silvia Hernández, adding it can’t be resolved “with infrared sensors or troops on the border.” Visiting from Washington were eight representatives and three senators, including six Republicans, four Democrats, and one Independent. Headed by Kolbe, the U.S. delegation also included lawmakers from Alabama, California, Illinois, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, and Texas. For the Mexican side, 12 members of the lower house and eight senators attended. Delegations of U.S. and Mexican lawmakers have held annual meetings nearly every year since 1960. Terrorism, trade and México’s steadfast opposition to capital punishment were other topics at the meeting, which ended Saturday. Page 3 Political Piñata: New Democratic ads feature five Latinos políticos By LIZ SIDOTI Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP): Five Latino politicians explain what it means to them to be Democratic leaders in two new television commercials launched in four states last Tuesday by a group of centrist Democrats. The message: under Democrats, Latinos will “have a better life.” The New Democrat Network’s latest wave of Spanish-language TV ads will run on local stations in 10 media markets in New Mexico, Arizona, Florida, and Nevada. The new commercials, a 30-second spot and a 60-second spot, feature testimonials by: Rep. Bob Menéndez of New Jersey; Rep. Loretta Sánchez of California; Raul Martínez, mayor of Hialeah, Fla.; Adolfo Carrion, county executive of the Bronx borough in New York City; and New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson. Richardson says in the longer version: “As a Democrat, my priority has always been to help our community so that all Hispanics can have a better life.” Martínez adds: “I support our public schools, for they are the vehicle for our children to obtain a good education.” The group has spent at least $1 million so far on ads since March, part of what it hopes will end up being a $5 million TV and radio ad campaign targeting Latinos, arguably the nation’s most volatile voting demographic. _Democrat Howard Dean is going to bat for former rival John Kerry’s presidential campaign. Dean sent an e-mail to prospective donors urging them to help raise $500,000 over the Internet in one day for the presumptive Democratic nominee. The Kerry campaign marked the drive’s progress on its Web site using a bat icon similar to the one Dean’s campaign used to track money during the primary race. “Today the famous fundraising bat is in your hands to help Senator Kerry take his message to the American people,” Dean wrote. The email closed with a link to the Web site for Dean’s new group, Democracy for America. _President Bush’s campaign is making a list—and checking it monthly—to rank its most active volunteers. The campaign is promising those most prolific in sending e-mails, recruiting additional volunteers, writing letters to newspapers, calling talk-radio programs or registering voters on Bush’s behalf a “special campaign memento.” “I want you to get credit for it!” Terry Nelson, the Bush campaign’s national political director, told volunteers in an e-mail Monday night. “To make sure your efforts are recognized, I’ve created the Volunteer Leaderboard.” The leaderboard will show national volunteer rankings. At the end of each month, the top 5 percent overall and for each activity will get a campaign souvenir, Nelson wrote.

By MARK NIESSE Associated Press Writer CANTON, Ga. (AP): Domingo López Vargas wasn’t the first Latino day laborer to be picked up by some white teens, taken to the woods, beaten and robbed of hundreds of dollars. Two other Latino workers before him were allegedly attacked by some of the same kids. The accused attackers include the grandson of a prominent couple who helped found the county’s Republican Party and whose ties to two judges and the district attorney led them to recuse themselves from the case. Now the teens may be charged with hate crimes for deliberately seeking out immigrants who often carry large amounts of cash, speak little English and are willing to get in anyone’s car if promised a job. “It obviously grew out of the fact that they were Hispanics,” said Joe Beasley, Southeast director for the Rainbow/ PUSH Coalition. “They know Hispanics are vulnerable because many of them don’t speak English.” Vargas, a 55-year-old Guatemalan legal immigrant, said he was outside a grocery store in Canton, about 35 miles north of Atlanta, when four boys pulled up in a green truck, offering work for $9 an hour. He got in and was driven to a remote area, where the boys told him to empty trash bags out of the back of the truck. As Vargas got to work, one of the boys hit him with a large Page 5 Los préstamos FIXERUPPER ofrecen: • Menores requisitos de ingresos • Menores pagos mensuales • Plazos de cancelación flexibles Y desde ahora y hasta el 30 de junio, usted puede obtener un monto de pago especial sobre su préstamo.

Los chistes de la semana y son de niños Dos niñas están en un campamento donde compartían habitación y litera. A la hora de irse a la cama, la niña de la litera de arriba reza: Con Dios me acuesto, con Dios me levanto, con la Virgen María y el Espíritu Santo. Pocos segundos después, se le hunde la litera, y la niña de la litera de abajo exclama: ¿Lo ves? ¡Eso es lo que pasa por dormir con tanta gente! Una vez un niño, empezó a preparar cientos de bolsitas de Té, su papá al ver esto le pregunta: Hijo, ¿por qué preparas tanto té? Y el hijo le responde: Es que papi, yo leí, “Jesús viene, prepara..té Este era un niño de 5 años que estaba con su mamá en la parada del autobús y le dice la mamá al niño: Cuando nos subamos al autobús le dices al conductor que tienes 4 años, para que no te cobre pasaje. Entonces se suben al autobús y le dice el conductor al niño: ¿Cuántos años tienes? Y le dice el niño: Cuatro. Y el conductor le dice: ¿Y cuándo cumples los 5 años? Y el niño responde: ¡Cuando me baje del autobús! La mamá pregunta enojada: ¿Quién se comió el pastel que estaba aquí? Lupita, la hermana adolescente contesta: ¡Fue Panchito, mamá! ¡No es cierto! Contesta el niño. ¡Sí es cierto! ¡No, no es cierto, cómo eres mentirosa, si tú ni me viste cuándo me lo comí! Estaban dos niños de 5 años conversando, y uno le dice al otro: Te cuento, que unos cabros del barrio me pegaron, y no me pude defender. A lo que su amigo le contesta: Oye, ¿y no te vengaste? Sí, claro que me vengué, ¡si no me vengo me matan! NEXT WEEK: The creation of a quinceañera for Jessina Love López by friends & family. Abuelita, abuelita.. cierre los ojos.

Amistad makes annual donation to Terra Amistad means “friendship,” but to some Terra Community College students, it also stands for generosity. In 1987, six area couples—friends since their teen-aged years—organized Amistad and began having annual dances, campouts, and other social activities. Don’t miss Jimmy González y Grupo Mazz on June 12 & Willie Colón on June 11 at this year’s LatinoFest @ downtown Toledo! They now sponsor two dances each year and raise enough money to make donations to area colleges for student scholarships. Terra students have shared in Amistad’s generosity since 1996. To date, the group has contributed approximately $7,500 to the Amistad Scholarship Endowment Fund at Terra. Ramiro and Carol Martínez delivered the most recent contribution of $1,000. Bob Valle of Gibsonburg, one of the original members, says the most important thing is that they are able to get together and also help others at the same time. Their fall event begins with a Friday evening campout at Meadowbrook in Bascom, and continues with a Saturday evening dance attended by more than 300 people. The six couples who started the organization are all from the Fremont area and include: Valle and his wife, Amelia; Ramiro and Carol Martínez of Fostoria; Al and Gloria VanCoppenalle of Toledo; Clyde and Dora López of Oregon; and Fernando and Mary Costilla and Ramiro and Anita Almaguer, all of Fremont.

His grandparents started the county’s Republican Party. The family’s connections are what led the local judges and prosecutor to recuse themselves from the case because of potential conflicts of interest. Cagle’s uncle had given a $400 donation to one of the judges, and the district attorney has said he is a family friend. Cagle’s attorney said the boy would plead not guilty if indicted. The other boys’ attorneys declined comment. “He comes from an incredibly American flagwaving, apple pie family,” said Linda Parker, former head of the county’s Republican Party who is now secretary for the Georgia Re- shock to the community. There was no rhyme or reason to this.” The muggings have raised questions about whether there are deeper rifts in the area between the white majority and a largely undocumented Latino day laborer population, which waits on street corners for contractors to offer work. Some people speculate there may have been other Latino beatings that have gone unreported because the victims fear repercussions if they come forward. “People just are afraid. If they’re undocumented, they’re afraid to say anything because they don’t want to ruffle the feathers or be obvious in any way, so they don’t say anything,” said Maria Teresa Fraser, honorary consul for Guatemala in Atlanta. That makes the Latino able to predators who believe they can get away with providing little pay or job safety. “You can understand the dangers these workers face every day seeking work,” said Joel Alvarado, a policy analyst for the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund. “The way they were able to entice these individuals to get into these vehicles was the promise of work.” Vargas, whose arm is still wrapped in a brace, said he doesn’t understand what led to his beating. “I would think it’s because I am a stranger in this country and they’re envious in some way,” he said. “To this day, I don’t know why they chose me, but I was very happy to be on my way to work, and I had no idea that they were thieves.” ¡Queremos ser su compañia de seguros! ¡Queremos ser su compañia de seguros! ¡Queremos ser su compañia de seguros!

(AP), May 18: Immigrant parents in California are more likely to be both married and working full time than native-born parents, yet their children are less likely to have access to health care and more likely to live in poverty, according to a report by a child advocacy group. Nearly 185,000 children in immigrant families live in or near the urban areas of Fresno and Bakersfield, according to the report by Children Now. In Fresno, 42 percent of children live in immigrant families. In the southern San Joaquin Valley city of Bakersfield, 37 percent have at least one immigrant parent. Statewide, 48 percent of all children have at least one parent who was born outside of the United States, according to the report. “We’re really talking about the typical California child. I think that might surprise people,” said Sarah Grossman-Swenson, one of the authors of the “California Report Card 2004: Focus on Children in Immigrant Families.” The report says 84 percent of children in immigrant families have at least one parent who works full time, but just 43 percent of immigrant families have job-based health insurance, compared with 73 percent of children in native families. And those children who have an undocumented parent are the most likely to be without employer-based health insurance—only 16 percent of these children of working parents are covered. • Inmigrantes en California longevos pese a adversidades Por JUSTIN PRITCHARD SAN FRANCISCO (AP): Los millones de inmigrantes que viven en California tienden a ser más pobres que los residentes nacidos en Estados Unidos y gozan de un cuidado médico inferior, pero la mayoría de ellos viven un promedio de cerca de cuatro años más, de acuerdo con un nuevo reporte sobre los cambios de la población en el estado. Por ejemplo, el mexicano promedio que vive en California puede morir unos meses antes de cumplir 79 años, mientras que su hijo estadounidense llegará a los 74 años, señala la investigación divulgada el miércoles. Hubo discrepancias similares entre blancos, afroestadounidenses y latinos, aunque los inmigrantes asiáticos tendieron a vivir menos tiempo que estadounidenses de ascendencia asiática. En un ejemplo estadístico extremo citado en el reporte, una china que vive en California morirá a los 89 años, mientras que un afroestadounidense morirá 20 años antes. Mientras que la «fuga de cerebros» de inmigrantes educados hacia Estados Unidos es muy conocida, la nueva investigación del Public Policy Institute of California insinúa que también existe una «fuga de músculos». Esta teoría dice que los inmigrantes que llegan al país tienden a ser más robustos y tener dietas y hábitos de ejercicio más saludables. Así, los inmigrantes, quienes desde varios puntos tienen estándares de vida inferiores, están viviendo más. El inmigrante promedio en California vivió hasta después de los 81 años, de acuerdo con el reporte, mientras que el californiano promedio nacido en Estados Unidos vivió hasta los 77, los cuales son expectativas de vida superiores al promedio nacional. «Esto no quiere decir que California te hace menos saludable», bromeó Hans Johnson, autor principal del reporte. «No será necesariamente malo para ti... pero deberías cuidarte de lo que comes y del tabaco». Efectivamente, las diferencias parecen ser parte de un fenómeno más amplio. A nivel nacional, el inmigrante promedio puede esperar vivir más tiempo que un estadounidense, de acuerdo con Victor Fuchs, economista de la Universidad de Stanford que analiza asuntos de cuidado médico. Aunque es más suposición que ciencia, hay dos explicaciones generales para esto: los inmigrantes podrían estar relativamente saludables debido a la casi siempre ardua odisea que atraviesan para llegar aquí. Y una vez aquí, ellos estarían poco interesados en la comida chatarra, los cigarrillos y otros hábitos dañinos para la salud. También está el estado de ánimo. Los inmigrantes tienden a afiliarse a fuertes redes de apoyo social y beneficiarse del optimismo de saberse en mejores condiciones que antes, de acuerdo con Nancy Adler, profesora de la Universidad de California en San Francisco, quien estudia los efectos socioeconómicos en la salud. «La gente que viene aquí y se queda ha sobrellevado varios obstáculos, ellos han tenido que tener mucha determinación», dijo Fuchs. «Su optimismo no sólo es real sino también justificado».

Yanez was a Golden Gloves champion in 1958-59 [in the 112# division] and was recently inducted into the National Golden Gloves Hall of Fame in Kansas City. Yanez also won the U.S. Amateur Boxing division in 1959 [in the 112# division]. Yanez is one of Devin Vargas’ coaches, along with Devin’s father, Ray. Yanez had nothing but praise for Vargas, who is a golden gloves champion for 2000-2001 [heavyweight division]. Yanez will be at Vargas’ side in Greece this summer for the 2004 Olympics.

Gloria Anzaldúa dead at 61, Latina author helped define borderland culture By LYNN BREZOSKY Associated Press writer HARLINGEN,Texas(AP), May 21: Funeral services were held Friday for Gloria Anzaldúa, a Mexican-American writer acclaimed for works that explored the sometimes prickly blend of culture along the Texas-México border. Anzaldúa died May 15 of complications from diabetes. She was 61. “It’s a devastating loss,” said AnaLouise Keating, a professor at Texas Woman’s University in Denton who published a book about Anzaldúa and attended the service in Hargill, about 60 miles northwest of Brownsville. “She was a groundbreaking author, a revolutionary author. Her work is read and taught internationally.” According to The Americas Review, “Propelled by a strong indigenous current, Anzaldúa assumed a prophetic voice to mythic, spiritual, mystic, intuitive, and imaginative means—a new vision.” Cristina Balli, a director at the Narciso Martínez Cultural Arts Center in San Benito, said one of Anzaldúa’s books helped her decode her own confusion about being between cultures. “We get a lot of confusing messages,” she said. “Some of the messages are very Mexican, some are very American, and they don’t always go together ... The spirit knows that but the mind doesn’t and Gloria’s book explains that.” Anzaldúa was born in a ranching area of rural Raymondville. She earned a bachelor’s degree from the University of Texas-Pan American University and a master’s degree from the University of Texas at Austin. She was working on a doctorate degree at University of Santa Cruz-California when she died. She was best known for two books about being a woman on the border: “This Bridge Called My Back: Writings of Radical Women of Culture” and “Borderlands/La Frontera: The New Mestiza,” which Hungry Mind Review and Utne Reader called one of the 100 Best Books of the Century. The latter book combines Spanish and English poetry, memoir, and historical analysis, and was chosen as one of the 38 Best Books of 1987 by the Literary Journal. Beyond being considered a pioneer in cultural theory, Anzaldúa was followed in feminist circles as the first openly lesbian Chicana writer. She published children’s books as well as poetry, essays, and short stories, and was the editor or coeditor of three anthologies. Her awards included the National Endowment for the Arts Fiction Award, the American Studies Association Lifetime Achievement Award, the Before Columbus Foundation American Book Award, the Lamda Lesbian Association Small Book Press Award, and the Sappho Award of Distinction. “I think she gave a voice to biculturalism and multiculturalism, opened our eyes about what language is and the various interactions that occur when languages come in contact and when cultures come in contact,’’ said Teresa Cadena, an associate professor at the University of Texas-Brownsville. “And of course, she showed us the view from the Mexican, Chicana, women’s, female perspective.” CONCERT INFORMATION For the Palace of Auburn Hills in Auburn Hills, Mich., the DTE Energy Music Theatre (formerly Pine Knob) in Clarkston, Mich., and Meadow Brook Music Festival, in Rochester Hills, Mich., contact Palace Sports and Entertainment, 248-377-0100, or online at www.palacenet.com.

According the InterAmerican Development Bank, the average adult immigrant in Illinois will send about $1,800 back home this year. The typical immigrant sends money abroad about once a month in amounts averaging about $225. The bank, which is a regional lending institution similar to the World Bank, released the figures Monday. The study drew from a threemonth survey of 3,800 adult immigrants nationwide. Researches say the report provides detailed evidence of how low-income workers such as busboys and gardeners have great economic clout. “It’s something that has been with us for a long time, but it’s been accelerating,” said Don Terry, manager of the bank’s Multilateral Investment Fund. “These family ties are extraordinary.” The data is based on interviews with 3,800 households Tancredo mulls remittance tax this spring and the state results have a margin of error of plus or minus 8 percentage points. Illinois ranked fifth in the amount of remittances sent to Latin America. The report found that more than twothirds of adult immigrants in Illinois send money home, mostly to México. Nationwide, those immigrants will send about $30 billion back home this year. N.C.’s Latino residents send foreign families $830 million The study found that North Carolina’s Latino residents will send more than $830 million to their families and friends in Latin America. North Carolina’s contribution ranked behind only seven other states in terms of overall remittances—including California, Texas, and Florida. But it topped the list in terms of the proportion of Latinos—84 percent—who send money home regularly. Overall, Latinos contribute an estimated $450 billion annually to the U.S. economy. DENVER (AP): Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo., is considering using a tax to recoup some of the money Latinos send outside U.S. borders. The congressman, a strong supporter of strict immigration enforcement, said he will spend the next few months developing a plan. Tancredo’s idea was prompted by a report on the estimated $30 billion in remittance sent to Latin American countries each year. “After looking at this data—indicating that immigrants shipped $30 billion out of the country last year alone—I don’t see how anyone can still say that illegal immigration only contributes to the U.S. economy,” Tancredo said in a statement. He added that $30 billion Breves (Continued from Page 1) hizo que los delitos se moviesen a otras ciudades, dijeron funcionarios de inmigración.

Tancredo couldn’t be reached for comment Wednesday, but his spokesman Carlos Espinosa said Tancredo is suggesting a 5 percent tax. One possibility is to assess a tax on transfers of money to people in other countries, said Espinosa. Another option to address the issue is to decrease the amount of U.S. aid to other countries, he said. “It’s a plan that’s up in the air, and at the very least, we need to have a discussion about it,” Espinosa said. a la inmigración ilegal. «Queremos golpear a esas organizaciones y arrancarlas de raíz», dijo John Clark, director de la oficina de investigaciones de los servicios de inmigración y aduanas.

Soldado en Abu Ghraib culpa de abusos a comandantes Por TONY CZUCZKA BERLIN (AP): Los i n t e r r o g a d o r e s estadounidenses asignados a la prisión de Abu Ghraib en Bagdad presenciaron casos en los cuales a los prisioneros se les privaba del sueño, se les desnudaba y se les amenazaba con perros como forma normal para tratar «al enemigo», señaló el jueves un soldado integrado a los servicios de inteligencia militar en la prisión. Sin embargo, aunque la policía militar ahora enfrenta acusaciones, y uno de ellos ya fue procesado, está claro que los servicios de inteligencia May/mayo 26, 2004 Clashes erupt as three Andean nations open free trade talks By JUAN PABLO TORO Associated Press Writer CARTAGENA, Colombia (AP), May 19: Colombia, Ecuador and Peru opened negotiations for a free trade accord with the United States Tuesday as anti-riot police clashed with protesters who say the pact would lead to job losses in the South American nations. Some 2,000 people marched through the Caribbean port city of Cartagena toward the conference center where the talks took place, holding signs that read “Colombia is not for sale” and “No free trade deal.” Police fired tear gas to prevent the crowd from reaching the negotiators, but protesters responded by throwing rocks. At least one person was injured, though no arrests were made, police said. The protesters were mostly students and members of militar del Ejército de Estados Unidos dirigían la prisión, dijo a The Associated Press el sargento Samuel Provance. Un letrero en la pared dentro de la prisión de Abu Ghraib delineaba las reglas para los interrogatorios, señaló Provance. Estas reglas decían que los métodos duros “como la privación de sueño y la alteración de la alimentación” exigían aprobación a nivel de comandancia, pero no explicaba a quiénes se refería. Los comandantes estadounidenses discuten quién daba las órdenes en Abu Ghraib, y Provance indicó que desde su posición no podía decir quién había dado las instrucciones para llevar a cabo los abusos. «Los que sí sé es que la inteligencia militar estaba a cargo de la operación. La única responsabilidad que tenía la policía militar era asegurar a los detenidos», señaló el sargento en una entrevista “A runaway best seller” With an average 11 to 1 return on investment, nothing sells your business harder than The Opportunity Pages®!

Por RUSS BYNUM FORT STEWART, Georgia, EEUU (AP), 20 mayo: Un soldado costarricense enjuiciado por deserción dijo el jueves en la corte que el ejército lo debería haber dado de baja bajo el reglamento de la Guardia Nacional, ya que no es ciudadano estadounidense. El sargento Camilo Mejía, de nacionalidad costarricense y soldado de infantería de la Guardia Nacional de la Florida, está acusado de deserción por no volver a su unidad en Irak después de un permiso de dos semanas en octubre. Mejía dijo anteriormente que buscó asesoría legal para declararse objetor de conciencia. «Pensé que tenía todo el derecho a ser dado de baja, pero el ejército, por alguna razón, no quiere respetar la ley military», dijo Mejía. «Convencido de que no cometí crimen alguno, busqué ayuda por fuera del ejército». Mejía, de 28 años, enfrenta un año de prisión y baja por mala conducta si lo declaran culpable de deserción. La ley militar define la deserción como dejar al ejército sin intención de regresar, o para “evitar un deber peligroso o eludir un servicio importante”. El soldado entró al ejército en 1995 y se unió a la Guardia Nacional en 1998. Mejía, que no es ciudadano estadounidense, dice tener doble nacionalidad, de Costa Rica y Nicaragua. El soldado señaló en su testimonio que varios oficiales de la Guardia Nacional de Florida le hablaron sobre una regulación en la que los soldados que no son ciudadanos estadounidenses deben ser dados de baja tras ocho años. Los abogados trataron de presentar pruebas sobre esa norma, pero el juez no lo aceptó. Mejía también señaló que su experiencia en la guerra lo convenció de que no quería combatir más. «Tuve problemas en Irak», dijo Mejía. «No creo que tenga derecho a hablar de muchas cosas aquí, pero no estaba de acuerdo con muchas cosas». Mejía había señalado anteriormente que estaba perturbado al ver civiles heridos por disparos durante una emboscada contra su unidad. También se refirió a la muerte de un niño iraquí en medio de una discusión sobre qué médico militar debería tratarlo. En su solicitud de convertirse en un objetor de conciencia, entregada el 16 de marzo, también señaló que vio a presos iraquíes ser tratados con crueldad en mayo. Mejía dijo que a los detenidos les vendaban los ojos y los privaban de sueño, a veces durante 48 horas. A veces, señaló, los soldados golpeaban las paredes para que los prisioneros no durmieran, o recargaban una pistola “cerca de su oreja”. Poco antes de su testimonio, un fiscal dijo al jurado militar que Mejía se alejó de su unidad cuando ésta lo necesitaba más. «Se trata de un jefe de It shouldn’t hurt to be a kid. Sgt. Camilo Mejia pelotón que abandonó a sus hombres cuando más lo necesitaban», dijo el capitán A.J. Balbo, fiscal principal, en su declaración al abrir la sesión. Dijo que la unidad de Mejía, el 124vo Régimen de Infantería del 1er Batallón de Fort Stewart, recibió misiones peligrosas, como patrullar los retenes, suministrar seguridad y efectuar redadas. «Fueron atacados. Hubo muertos». Tres soldados que sirvieron bajo Mejía declararon que era un jefe competente que mantenía la calma durante redadas, emboscadas y misiones de combate. El suboficial Oliver Pérez reconoció estar decepcionado cuando Mejía se fue y nunca retornó. «No creo que fuera un buen ejemplo, no. Fue un golpe». Sin embargo, Pérez dijo que «todavía confiaría en él con mi vida». El jefe inmediato de Mejía, el capitán Tad Warfel, único testigo de los fiscales, dijo que poco después de que Mejía no retornara en octubre, los ataques contra la unidad incrementaron. La unidad desplegada en Ramadí partió con 131 soldados y volvió con 95. LA mayoría de los que no regresaron fueron heridos por explosivos, disparos o metralla. La petición de Mejía de ser declarado objetor de conciencia sigue en trámite. Editor’s Note: Mejia was convicted last Friday and sentenced to one year in prison. He plans on appealing this conviction. Se buscan músicos para formar un grupo en las áreas de FOR SALE Report child abuse and neglect. Call (419) 213-CARE. If you don’t…who will?
