15-year-old Omar Khadr, a Canadian citizen charged with terrorism, was wounded when he was captured in Afghanistan in July, 2002. Lawyers for Khadr claimed statements to U.S. military interrogators were illegally obtained through torture and asked a U.S. war crimes court to throw them out. That request was denied on Monday by a U.S. military judge at the U.S. naval base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The confessions of Omar Khadr can be used as evidence in his trial, even though they may have been obtained through torture by the U.S. military, a U.S. military judge has ruled.

From the Aug 02 2010 Think Progress newsletter, the little section below, “Under The Radar” brings some of the not-so-superior qualities of Those Wacky Heterosexuals out where we can all appreciate them.

IMMIGRATION — THREATS FLOOD INTO ARIZONA JUDGE’S OFFICE AFTER SB-1070 RULING: After federal district court judge Susan Bolton blocked several key provisions of Arizona’s controversial immigration law in a long-awaited decision last week, she “received hundreds of threats at her court offices within hours.” U.S. Marshal David Gonzales reports Bolton has been “inundated” with the threats: “About 99.9% of the inappropriate comments are people venting. They are exercising their First Amendment rights and a lot of it is perverted. But it’s that 0.1 percent that goes over the line that we are taking extra seriously.” He added, “It is policy at a juncture like this to increase security at the courthouse.” Bolton is not the only official facing hostility following Wednesday’s ruling. On Thursday, Rep. Raúl Grijalva (D-AZ) was forced to close his district office in Yuma, AZ, after “finding a window shattered and a bullet inside.” In April, on the same day SB-1070 was signed into law, Grijalva — an outspoken opponent of the legislation who had called for boycotting the state — closed two district offices “after a man called the Tucson office twice threatening to ‘come in there and blow everybody’s head off,’ and then go to the U.S.-Mexico border to ‘shoot any Mexicans that try to come across.’” Local militiamen have organized “combat veterans, with kill records, to camp out and patrol” the U.S.-Mexico border, and Neo-Nazis in Arizona now “patrol the border” aiming to “kill or capture immigrants.” Besides immigration-related violence, “threats of violence against lawmakers” also “spiked in the immediate aftermath of the healthcare reform battle in Congress,” when vandals targeted the offices of pro-reform members and threatened to “assassinate” the lawmakers’ children.

Here’s an update to a story we ran earlier.

Wisconsin Heterosexual Accused of Digging Up Dead Woman for Sex

LANCASTER, Wis. (AP) – An attorney for a 23-year-old openly heterosexual man accused of trying to dig up a dead woman in Cassville to have sex with her says his client only wanted to wanted to pose her in a “non-sexual way.”

In opening statements, defense attorney Suzanne Edwards described Nicholas Grunke as a shy virgin who longed to have a girlfriend. When a 20-year-old woman died in a 2006 motorcycle crash, Edwards says Grunke wanted to “set up a little fairy-tale scenario.”

Grunke is accused of attempted third-degree sexual assault, attempted criminal damage to a cemetery and attempted misdemeanor theft.

Prosecutor Tony Pozorski argued that Grunke intended to have sex with the body.

Pozorski argued that Grunke, his twin brother Alexander, and friend Dustin Radke were involved in the alleged scheme. The prosecutor says a van found near the scene contained shovels, a wrecking bar and a box of condoms.
