NEW ORLEANS — In
an internal report released
today, BP blames itself, other
companies’ workers and a
complex series of failures for
the massive Gulf of Mexico
oil spill and the drilling rig
explosion that preceded it.
The 193-page report was
posted on the company’s web
site even though investigators
have not yet begun to fully
analyze a key piece of equip-
ment, the blowout preventer,
that should have cut off the

That means BP’s report is
far from the definitive ruling
real cause of the explosion,
which it blamed on what it
called “BP’s fatally flawed
well design.”
“In both its design and
construction, BP made a
series of cost-saving decisions
that increased risk — in some
cases, severely,” Transocean
said.
Transocean said its own
investigation will be con-
cluded when all of the evi-
dence is in, including critical
information the company has
requested of BP but has yet to
receive.
New Orleans attorney
Scott Bickford, who repre-
sents relatives of a worker
who died in the explosion
and a worker who survived
the blast, said he found no
surprises in the report.

Weeks of rain leaves
thousands homeless
By ANTONIO VILLEGAS
and MIGUEL ANGEL
HERNANDEZ
The Associated Press
VILLAHERMOSA,
Mexico — Tens of thousands
of people have abandoned
their homes across southern
Mexico to escape flooding
from weeks of torrential rains,
and forecasts are predicting
even more rainfall.
The situation worsened
for some areas Tuesday when
authorities began releasing
2,000 cubic meters (71,000
cubic feet) of water every
second from four dams
whose reservoirs were filled
to capacity. The surge caused
several rivers to overflow.
The flooding has affected
all four of Mexico’s south-
ernmost states: Tabasco,
Veracruz, Chiapas and
Oaxaca. But despite the dan-
gers, government pleas to
evacuate were ignored by
many people, who are accus-
tomed to severe flooding
every year.
Tens of thousands are
sleeping on the roofs of their
homes, refusing to abandon
their possessions despite the
rapid rise of rivers.
Hipolito Hernandez hauled
many of his belongings onto
his roof as the Rio Carrizal
washed over its banks and
flooded dozens of homes in
the farming community of
Sauces in the Gulf coast state
of Tabasco.
Area music festival results in drug arrests
Auglaize County Sheriff
Al Solomon reported this
morning that a total of 6
arrests were made on Aug.
27 at the Laffinfest Concert
at a farm on C.R. 33A.
Laffinfest is an outdoor
concert where several bands
attend and play. It is an out-
door event in a remote area of
Auglaize County. Attendees
pay to get in and are able to
listen to the music and camp.
The Auglaize County
Sheriff’s Office received
information from several
sources from last years event
that drug sales were common
at the concert. This informa-
tion was then given to the
Auglaize / Mercer County
Grand Lake Drug Task
Force. Members of the Task
Force and members from sur-
rounding County Task Forces
then attended the event and
eventually were able to make
undercover drug buys which
included the following drugs.
L.S.D., Ecstasy (M.D.M.A.)
and mushrooms or Psilocybin.
Also prescription pain medi-
cations were purchased. All
of the above drugs were pur-
chased by undercover agents
of the Task Forces.

Witness testifies
Filipino warlord
ordered killing
By JIM GOMEZ
The Associated Press
MANILA, Philippines — A
house servant of the politically
powerful clan accused in last
year’s massacre of 57 people
told a Philippine court today that
the family members plotted the
killings of rivals and journalists
over dinner six days before the
ambush.
The witness, Lakmudin
Saliao, took the stand on the first
day of trial nearly 10 months
after the Nov. 23 massacre in
southern Maguindanao province
exposed the shocking violence
of Philippine politics. Among the
57 dead were 30 media workers
traveling in an election convoy
— making it the deadliest single
attack on reporters in the world.
The patriarch of the clan,
Andal Ampatuan Sr., had gath-
ered his siblings over dinner
to ask them how they can stop
their political rival from running
for provincial governor, one of
the key regional posts that the
Ampatuans had held and exploit-
ed for years, Saliao said.
Former town mayor Andal
Ampatuan Jr., the scion of the
clan and the prime suspect in the
massacre, replied, “That’s easy.
If they come here just kill them
all,”’ Saliao told the court.
He said the elder Ampatuan
then asked his children if they
agreed with the plan, and accord-
ing to Saliao, “Everybody
laughed, saying it’s OK for
everybody to be killed.”
Saliao said the Ampatuan
patriarch ordered that his rival,
Esmael Mangudadatu, must be
stopped on a highway where he
was supposed to pass on the way
to file his candidacy papers.
It was on the same spot that
troops recovered the 57 bodies
gunned down and hastily buried
in mass graves dug by a back-
hoe. Mangudadatu, who was later
elected governor in the May elec-
tions, had sent his wife, sisters and
other female relatives accompa-
nied by journalists in the belief
that their lives would be spared.
The Ampatuans have denied
the charges. Andal Ampatuan Jr.
and 16 policemen were the first
to be arraigned and were led
in handcuffs into the courtroom
packed with anxious relatives
and observers inside a Manila
maximum-security prison.
Black-clad sharpshooters
patrolled the premises while doz-
ens of heavily armed police stood
guard.
been indicted on a third-
degree domestic violation
charge.
Craig is charged with caus-
ing or attempting to cause
physical harm to a household
member on July 21.
Judge Steele ordered a
pre-sentence investigation
and scheduled sentencing for
9 a.m. Oct. 20.
Michael L. Carter Jr.,
26, Dayton, entered a plea of
guilty to a complicity to grand
theft auto charge, a felony of
the fourth degree.
Carter allegedly aided
Antonio Carter, his brother,
in the theft of a motor vehicle
from RTC Motor Sales which
was paid for with a counter-
feit check in March of this
year.
Judge Steele ordered a
pre-sentence investigation
and scheduled sentencing for
9 a.m. Oct. 20.
Rita D. Jones, 42, Lima,
was sentenced to spend three
years on community control
on a charge of non-support
of dependents a felony of the
fifth degree.
Jones must maintain

court costs, $250 as par-
tial reimbursement for her
court appointed attorney
and $25 affidavit of indi-
gency fee.
Failure on Jones part to

Obama to stump in Ohio
By JULIE PACE
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — — Tax breaks to let busi-
Seeking to give anxious
Democrats a boost ahead
of the November elections,
President Barack Obama is
pitching a trio of economic
initiatives today and voicing
unwavering opposition to
Bush-era tax breaks for the
wealthy, an issue on which
he’s looking to draw a stark
contrast with Republicans.
The White House said
the package of infrastructure
investments and business
tax incentives Obama was to
outline during a speech in
Cleveland is meant to put the
economy on a path toward
long-term growth while also
allowing for some immediate
job creation.
But with Washington’s
already heated partisanship
likely to escalate as the mid-
term elections approach, it’s
uncertain whether Congress
could pass any of the incen-
tives in time to help the econ-
omy — and Democrats —
before November.
Obama is asking Congress
to consider three proposals:
— A $50 billion infrastruc-
ture investment to rebuild and
repair the nation’s roads, rail-
ways and runways.
Ohioans hard-hit with obesity
By Senator George
Voinovich
Since the mid-1970s, obe-
sity rates in the United States
have sky-rocketed for children
and adults alike, raising seri-
ous concerns about the impli-
cations on Americans’ health.
The Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention esti-
mate that annual spending
related to overweight and
obese Americans is more than
$264 billion – exceeding what
we spend on tobacco-related
illnesses each year.
Ohioans have been particu-
larly hard hit by this rise in obe-
sity. Today nearly 29 percent of
Ohio’s adults are obese, mak-
ing our state the 13th heaviest
in the nation. And, according to
the Trust for America’s Health
and the Robert Wood Johnson
Foundation, Ohio’s childhood
obesity rate is nearly 19 per-
cent.
Obesity in America is noth-
ing short of an epidemic, and
it is putting nearly one third
of our children and grand-
children at early risk for Type
2 diabetes, high blood pres-
sure, heart disease and even
stroke – conditions usually
associated with adulthood.
Even greater disparities exist
among young Hispanics and
children of color. Experts say
that the unhealthy eating hab-
its and the sedentary nature
of our children today could
make them the first genera-
tion in American history to
have a shorter life expectancy
Obama vs. Boehner
KATHLEEN PARKER
Point
of View
Next up: Cleveland, for an
economic speech to counter
the one Boehner gave last
month in which he called
on the president to fire his
economic team. Even many
Democrats share the view
that Tim Geithner and Larry
Summers should be enjoy-
ing a beach somewhere, but
Obama apparently prefers to
double down. By singling
out Boehner, even going to
the minority leader’s own
state, suggests either churlish
theater or desperation. The
national mood would imply
the latter.
As a theatergoer, howev-
er, one could hardly ask for
better. The Obama emblem
of hope and change versus
Boehner, the symbol of “no.”
So goes the script. But
both men are very much alike
in some ways. Both are smok-
ers (Obama still sneaks a few)
and both like to play golf.
Both are cool cats. Why not
sit back and enjoy the show?
No one is enjoying
Obama’s attempt to demonize
Boehner more than Boehner.
Even this is a replay. The
White House seems to relish

nesses quickly write off 100
percent of their spending on
new plants and equipment
through 2011.
Senior administration offi-
cials said the three proposals
would be the full extent of
new economic policies the
president would announce
before the midterms, elimi-
nating the possibility of a
pre-election freeze on payroll
taxes, an idea supported by
many businesses.
The officials, who spoke
on the condition of anonym-
ity to preview the president’s
speech, said Obama would
draw a contrast between his
economic proposals and those
of the GOP, going so far as to
give his remarks in the same
city where House Minority
Leader John Boehner out-
lined the Republican eco-
nomic agenda last month.
As he often does, Obama
will paint Republican leaders
as seeking a return to what he
calls the failed economic pol-
icies of the past, singling out
Boehner’s call to extend tax
cuts for the wealthy that were
enacted by former President
George W. Bush.

than their parents.
As a father of three and
grandfather of eight, the over-
all health and wellness of my
family is of the utmost impor-
tance to me. The best choice
every parent and grandparent
can make is the choice to be
a role model to their family
by maintaining an active and
healthy lifestyle. We truly are
our own best doctor and have
the freedom to choose what
our families eat and drink,
and how much exercise we
get. Each of these personal
choices come together to help
determine our overall health
and well-being.
Earlier this year, I joined
forces with U.S. Senator
Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY)
and Congresswomen Marsha
Fudge (D-11th) and Kay
Granger (R-Texas) in support
of a resolution to designate
September 2010 as the first
annual National Childhood
Obesity Awareness Month.
Our hope is that our action
will raise awareness about the
childhood obesity epidemic
and encourage community
programs that promote healthy
eating and physical activity
among all generations.
I am pleased that first lady
Michelle Obama has made
childhood obesity one of
her top priorities, and that
President Obama joined us
last week in issuing the offi-
cial proclamation requested

2010 as National Childhood
playing target practice with an
enemy du jour and, in the pro-
cess, elevating its prey. When
the administration singled out
Rush Limbaugh as the leader
of the Republican Party, no
one was more delighted than
Limbaugh.
Boehner must be whis-
tling a happy tune. Even
though his critics say he’s
prematurely measuring for
new drapes in the speaker’s
quarters, Boehner is hardly
a household name beyond
Washington and political par-
lors where the chattering class
feasts on the latest polls. He’s
not a lightning rod like Newt
Gingrich or Tom DeLay.
Effective immediately,
Boehner is the un-Obama,
and that is not a bad thing
for Republicans. If the presi-
dent were confident in his
programs, some of which
Republicans also support
(research and development
tax credits, for example), he
wouldn’t need to challenge
Boehner on his own turf.
Successful leaders ignore the
hecklers and noisemakers.
But Obama doesn’t even
have the support of his own
cast these days. Democratic
incumbents are running
against their own health care
law, de-emphasizing or fail-
ing to mention their vote.
Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon
has sought waivers for cer-
tain Obamacare rules, even
though he voted for them.

have long said they want to
renew the tax cuts only for
households earning under
$250,000 a year, a policy
difference with Republicans
that administration officials
said Obama would portray
as a difference in the parties’
values.
“This economy is not
hurting people that make
$800,000 a year,” White
House spokesman Robert
Gibbs said Tuesday. “It’s
hurting families that are mak-
ing $40,000 a year.
Boehner spokesman
Michael Steel said the presi-
dent’s focus on the minority
leader’s speech showed that
the White House is out of
touch with Americans and
“in full panic mode about the
November elections.”
Some of the proposals
Obama was to outline today
have enjoyed broad bipar-
tisan support in the past.
That creates a dilemma for
Republicans, who could be
forced to choose between
handing the president legis-
lative victories ahead of the
election or saying no to ideas
they’ve previously support-
ed.
The White House made
no apologies for unveiling its
proposals during the conten-
tious pre-election months.

Looking out for our chil-
dren is nothing new for me.
As Ohio’s governor, I started
the Help Me Grow program
to promote prenatal and early-
childhood health by providing
free information to expectant
mothers about prenatal care
and early-childhood devel-
opment. During my admin-
istration, infant mortality
decreased and the percentage
of fully vaccinated 2-year-
olds increased from 20 per-
cent to 71 percent. I have
always understood the impor-
tance of preventative health
care measures, and that’s why
I am working today to bring
more attention to childhood
obesity.
There are several things
we can do right now to create
a healthier lifestyle for our-
selves and our children.

of his recent ads for gover-

Meanwhile, Obama’s
approval rating is the low-
est ever, with 52 percent of
Americans disapproving,
according to a recent ABC
News/Washington Post poll.
More people say that Obama’s
economic plan is making
the economy worse (33 per-
cent) than better (30 percent),
with 36 percent saying it is
having “no real effect.” The
“Recovery Summer” didn’t
happen.
The moral of this tale is
that Obama is out of touch
with the American people —
and he still just doesn’t get it.
They are sad and mad, and
the disappointer-in-chief is

NFL ready for 2010
Professional football is getting
started this week.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news
but that means that soon, snow will be
flying!!!
Just kidding! We don’t need time to
go any faster now, do we? It goes fast
enough.
There is plenty of drama for the
start of the season.
For example, Ben Roethlisberger’s
suspension has been cut to four
games.
You know, I don’t know if he is
whether they like it or not, need to real-
ize that they are prime targets for every
kook-burger and nut out there. Even if
they are innocent, they are still “guilty”
no matter what they do
The bad ones have ruined it for
all of them and let’s face it; there are
many bad people out there who will
take advantage of others, even celebri-
ties, for the almighty dollar.
Then there is the question of can
Brett Favre repeat his awesome perfor-
mance from last year at the age of 40?
Every superstar goes through it at
some point: the decline of their skills
and body.
He has been through the wars and
no matter how much training, vitamins
JIM METCALFE
Metcalfe’s
Musings
and minerals he uses — unless he has
truly found the Fountain of Youth —
that will happen to him.
If you are a Minnesota Vikings’
fans, you’d better pray not yet.
Will Terrell Owens find his own
Fountain and be a solid tag-team part-
ner with Ochocinco (remember, all it
means is 8-5!) in The Queen City or
will be make him even more of a ego-
tistical nightmare?
My guess is that his 36-year-old
body won’t do what it used to and
hasn’t for the last couple of seasons.
I will write this, too; Terrell has never
not been a warrior on the field or in
preparation, so if Chad can follow
THAT lead, he may be assured of hav-
ing several more high-caliber seasons
and making it to Canton.
Will the Cleveland Browns finally
turn it around with Mike Holmgren at
the lead?
Let’s put it this way: he has already
gotten things turned around off the
field with getting back to honoring
their illustrious history.
He drafted his quarterback of the
future in Colt McCoy and I wonder
how long it will be before that becomes
the present. I am sure more than a
few wonder if Jake Delhomme’s best
days are behind him or if he can coax
a couple more quality years from his
battered body.
Will Dallas become the first Super
Bowl team to play on their home field,
The Temple?
If they don’t get there, there are
no more excuses. They are surround-
ing Tony Romo with more and more
weapons and the defense should be top-
notch, so if it doesn’t work, you know
where I will be laying the blame!!! As
will most Cowboys’ fans!
Can New Orleans and Drew Brees
follow up that magnificent year?
Will Detroit continue its resurgence
— it did win a couple games last year
— or is this franchise still under the
Matt Millen curse?
I won’t go into all of the teams but it
should be another fun season.
Now, if only I could actually win
one of my fantasy leagues!
Let the games begin!

By EDDIE PELLS
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Nobody
can say Kim Clijsters took an
easy path to her U.S. Open
title last year. She played both
Williams sisters.
This year, she’ll only play
one, though this could be an
even more effective version of
Venus Williams than came to
Flushing Meadows in 2009.
Clijsters and Williams each
hurt her knee again, too, but
recovered in time to play.
“This is probably some of
the best of Venus that I’ve seen
for a while,” Clijsters said.
Maybe not the cleanest ten-
nis but certainly good enough
to win. Williams overcame
nine double-faults and a total
of 33 unforced errors — much
of it caused by a wind that
whipped around Arthur Ashe
Stadium for yet another day —
to beat reigning French Open
to be impossible, I think.”
Another quarterfinal will
pit No. 12 Mikhail Youzhny
against No. 25 Stanislas
Wawrinka.
Wawrinka beat No. 20
Sam Querrey, which means no
American man will be in the
quarterfinals at the U.S. Open
for the second straight year.
More bad news on the U.S.
scene: this is the worst Grand
Slam year ever for the men, with
Andy Roddick making the lone
quarterfinal appearance of any
American man, at the Australian
Open in January. Since the
French Open began admitting
foreigners in 1925, U.S. men
have made at least two quarter-
final Grand Slam appearances
every year until now.
“I didn’t feel any extra pres-
sure or anything. I definitely
wanted to win and keep the
American men (in) — keep
the hope going,” Querrey said.
“You know, I was close.”

was hoping to use the U.S.

and a test — so she could see
how big-time competition felt
before she made the comeback
in earnest in 2010.

Quran burning feared to put troops in jeopardy

By MITCH STACY
The Associated Press
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — The leader of a
small Florida church that espouses anti-Islam
philosophy said today he was determined to
go through with his plan to burn copies of the
Quran on Sept. 11, despite pressure from the
White House, religious leaders and others to
call it off.
“We are still determined to it, yes,” the Rev.
Terry Jones of Dove World Outreach Center
told the CBS Early Show.
Jones says he has received more than 100
death threats and has started wearing a .40-cali-
ber pistol strapped to his hip since announcing
his plan to burn the book Muslims consider the
word of God and insist be treated with the utmost
respect. The 58-year-old minister proclaimed in
July that he would stage “International Burn-a-
Quran Day.”
Supporters have been mailing copies of the
holy text to his Gainesville church of about
50 followers to be incinerated in a bonfire on
Saturday to mark the ninth anniversary of the
9/11 attacks.
Gen. Ray Odierno, the former top com-
mander in Iraq, said today he fears that extrem-
ists will use the incident to sow hatred against
U.S. troops overseas.
“This feeds right into what they want,”
Odierno said on NBC’s “Today Show. Odierno
now heads of U.S. Joint Forces Command.
Jones responded that he is also concerned but
is “wondering, ’When do we stop?”’ He refused
to cancel the protest at but said he was still pray-
ing about it.
“How much do we back down? How many
times do we back down?” Jones told the AP.
“Instead of us backing down, maybe it’s time
to stand up. Maybe it’s time to send a message
to radical Islam that we will not tolerate their
behavior.”
At the White House, spokesman Robert
Gibbs echoed the concerns. “Any type of activ-
ity like that that puts our troops in harm’s way
would be a concern to this administration,”
Gibbs told reporters.
In Afghanistan, Jones’ planned burning con-
tinued to provoke outrage.
“It is the duty of Muslims to react,” said
Mohammad Mukhtar, a cleric and candidate for
the Afghan parliament in the Sept. 18 election.
“When their holy book Quran gets burned in
public, then there is nothing left. If this happens,
I think the first and most important reaction will
be that wherever Americans are seen, they will
be killed. No matter where they will be in the
world they will be killed.”
Kabul resident, Rajab Ali said, “If this (burn-
ing of the Quran) happens there will be chaos
in Afghanistan and being a Muslim, if we don’t
defend the Quran then what else we can do?”
Jones gained some local notoriety last year
when he posted signs in front of his church
declaring “Islam is of the Devil.” But his Quran-
burning idea attracted wider attention. It drew
rebukes from Muslim nations and at home as an
emotional debate was taking shape over the pro-
posed Islamic center near the ground zero site of
the 2001 terrorist attacks in New York.
His actions most likely would be protected
by the First Amendment’s right to free speech.
The U.S. Supreme Court has made clear in
several landmark rulings that speech deemed

Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
“I am heartened by the clear, unequivocal

The Quran, according to Jones, is “evil”
because it espouses something other than bibli-

among Muslims.

be sacred. Any intentional damage or show of

US terror training Imam: NYC Islamic center to include other faiths

reflects wider program
By LOLITA C. BALDOR
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — U.S. special operations forces are
expanding their training of the Yemeni military as the Obama
administration broadens its program to counter terrorism in
countries reluctant to harbor a visible American military pres-
ence.
That balancing act has become an administration trademark,
funneling millions of dollars in aid and low-profile military
trainers to countries like Pakistan and Yemen in order to take
on a more diverse, independent and scattered al-Qaida net-
work.
The scope and amount of the military training in Yemen
has grown slowly, reflecting the Pentagon’s intention to tackle
the terror threat while still being sensitive to fears that a larger
American footprint in Yemen could help fuel the insurgency.
Over the past year, the number of elite U.S. trainers moving
in and out of Yemen has doubled, from 25 to about 50 now.
The numbers fluctuate depending on the training schedule, but
U.S. forces are now providing a more complex level of instruc-
tion that combines tactical ground and air operations.
At stake is the stability of a troubled, poverty-stricken
nation struggling to thwart al-Qaida-linked terrorists who are
growing stronger and are increasingly targeting the U.S. and
other Western interests.
“Yemen is the model for how we’re going to conduct coun-
terterrorism in the future,” said Rick Nelson, a counterterror-
ism expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
“It is not going to be large-scale intervention as it was under
the Bush administration and not because it is or isn’t working
but because it’s economically unfeasible” to wage expensive
wars.
The U.S. military training there, said one senior defense
official, is aimed at fixing shortfalls in the Yemeni military’s
aviation, intelligence and tactical operations. And there also is
training for the maintenance of aircraft and other systems.
Several U.S. and Yemeni officials spoke on condition of
anonymity to describe the U.S. training effort, which is rarely
discussed in public because of its politically sensitive nature.
The careful growth of training by special forces in Yemen
mirrors a slow expansion of a Pentagon counterterror training
program in Pakistan, which officials say serves as a workable
road map for building U.S. military relationships with govern-
ment forces in terrorist strongholds.
The U.S. instruction of Pakistan’s paramilitary Frontier
Corps not only enhances the capabilities of the nation’s secu-
rity forces, but also makes it easier for American commanders
to gather intelligence, establish contact with local populations
and move more freely in the country.
U.S. trainers in Pakistan operate mainly in two training
centers along the Afghan border. But their proximity to terror
strongholds can also be a drawback. Earlier this year, three of
the trainers were killed and two others wounded by a roadside
bomb.
While the Obama administration is still pulling together
its overall Yemen policy, there are strong indications it will
call for a broader array of assistance and engagement with
Yemen.
NEW YORK (AP) — A proposed Islamic community
center near ground zero will include separate prayer spaces
for Muslims, Christians, Jews and people of other faiths, the
imam behind plans for the facility wrote in an op-ed piece
published online Tuesday.
Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf wrote in The New York Times
that the attention surrounding the plans for the $100 million
community center just blocks from the site of the Sept. 11
attacks “reflects the degree to which people care about the
very American values under debate: recognition of the rights
of others, tolerance and freedom of worship.”
He said it was critical that Americans “not back away”
from completing the project.
“The wonderful outpouring of support for our right to build
this community center from across the social, religious and
political spectrum seriously undermines the ability of anti-
American radicals to recruit young, impressionable Muslims
by falsely claiming that America persecutes Muslims for
their faith,” he wrote. “These efforts by radicals at distortion
endanger our national security and the personal security of
Americans worldwide.”
The comments published in the Times were among Rauf’s
most extensive on the Islamic center since national leaders
Exec. linked to salmonella is back
By MARY CLARE JALONICK
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The peanut industry executive whose
filthy processing plants were blamed in a salmonella outbreak
two years ago that killed nine people and sickened hundreds
more is back in the business.
Stewart Parnell, former president of the now-bankrupt Peanut
Corp. of America, is working as a consultant to peanut compa-
nies as the federal government’s criminal investigation against
him has languished for more than 18 months, The Associated
Press has learned.
Parnell, who invoked the Fifth Amendment to avoid testify-
ing before Congress in February 2009, once directed employees
to “turn them loose” after samples of peanuts had tested positive
for salmonella and then were cleared in a second test, according
to e-mails uncovered at the time by congressional investigators.
In an interview with the AP, Parnell expressed exasperation
and said he wants the pending criminal investigation resolved —
one way or another.
“They just say we’re still investigating,” Parnell said. “I feel
like I wish they’d come on and do what they’re going to do. I’d
like to get this behind me.”
Parnell also said he has been directed by his lawyers not to
discuss his case with family members of the nine people who
died in the salmonella outbreak blamed on his processed pea-
nuts.
“My lawyers will not let me say anything or I’d be in front of
every one of them personally,” Parnell said.
Family members of some of the victims who died say they
are eager to see Parnell behind bars.
“My God, when are we going to hold anyone responsible?”
said Jeff Almer, whose mother, Shirley Almer, was the first
known death from the outbreak in Minnesota. “So far to this day,
nothing’s happened to this man. I think every person in America
who was affected by this, every family who lost someone,
deserves to hear the truth from this guy.”
began weighing in on the debate earlier this year.
For months, the debate has focused on whether the plans
for the center would include a mosque just blocks north of
where Islamic extremists destroyed the World Trade Center
and killed nearly 2,800 people on Sept. 11, 2001.
Opponents say the mosque should be moved farther away
out of sensitivity for the families of 9/11 victims; supporters
say religious freedom should be protected.
For the past two months, Rauf has been traveling abroad,
including taking a 15-day trip paid for by the U.S. Department
of State to promote religious tolerance in the Middle East.
While on the trip, he occasionally spoke about the center,
mostly to local Arab media. He returned to the United States
on Sunday.
In the op-ed piece, he explained his reasons for not speak-
ing out more and sooner, saying he felt it would “not be right
to comment from abroad.”
“It would be better if I addressed these issues once I
returned home to America, and after I could confer with lead-
ers of other faiths who have been deliberating with us over
this project,” he wrote. “My life’s work has been focused on
building bridges between religious groups and never has that
been as important as it is now.”

Today’s joke:
One night a police officer was staking out a particu-
larly rowdy bar for possible DUI violations. At closing
time, he saw a fellow tumble out of the bar, trip on the
curb and try his keys in five different cars before he
found his. Then he sat in the front seat fumbling around
with his keys for several minutes. Everyone else left the
bar and drove off. Finally he started his engine and
began to pull away.
The police officer was waiting for him. He stopped
the driver, read him his rights and administered the
breathalyzer test. The results showed a reading of 0.0.
The puzzled officer demanded to know how that could
be.
The driver replied, “Tonight, I’m the designated
decoy.”
