Judgment affirmed. The state is not required to reveal the identity of a confidential informant when the informants testimony is not needed to establish an essential element of the crime charged nor would it be beneficial to the defendant; defendants convictions were not against the manifest weight of the evidence; and trial counsel did not render ineffective assistance in not directly petitioning the court to reveal the identity of the informant when counsel preserved the error for appeal through objections and when no prejudice existed.

For years, smugglers have flown small aircraft across US borders to transport contraband - mainly high-grade marijuana grown in western Canada, but also cigarettes, currency, undocumented people and firearms - law enforcement officials in several agencies say. Increased security along the southwest border with Mexico largely has shut down cross-border aerial smuggling there, but it's anybody's guess as to what's coming into the US from the north, says one senior federal law enforcement official involved in an interagency effort to improve security along the Canadian border. Since Sept. 11, officers with Air and Marine Operations have been spending a lot more time on the northern border; the division devoted more resources to protecting the air space over US cities and opened branch offi...

Before the barricades come up, before another train track is sabotaged, before the guns come out and before the National Guard is called in, there is one way open to the Iroquois (Haudenosaunee) Confederacy and New York State to solve the tobacco controversy.
For too many years, state officials have refused to work with the leaders of the confederacy to negotiate a resolution acceptable to all parties. For too long, the confederacy has ignored the problem of individual tobacco retailers using the threat of violence to protect their self interests without regard for the damage they are causing to themselves and to their communities.
