WASHINGTON, Nov. 14, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ --Sudan is appalled by and condemns the malicious accusations leveled against it regarding an alleged bombing that occurred within the borders of Southern Sudan. It comes as little surprise that even in the virtual absence of both evidence and motive, that the usual anti-Sudan characters are already seeking to pin the incident on their traditional object of scorn.

The Sun Journal on April 16 showed a screaming bias against conservative political activity. There had been very well-attended demonstrations in dozens of large cities, such as Atlanta, against the obscene, excessive spending by the federal government. Those peaceful demonstrations on the afternoon and evening of April 15 involved tens of thousands of patriotic citizens who believe that both the Bush and Obama administrations lost every shred of fiscal common sense.
I believe that most taxpayers are outraged at the spending of billions of dollars for bailouts and stimulus to the economy. Yet, the only story I could find in the Sun Journal was a small story buried on the business page. A couple lines did take note of the fact that the demonstrations were nationwide, but the Sun Journal p...

A pathologist could not claim an absolute privilege from liability when sued for preparing an allegedly erroneous autopsy report that resulted in the plaintiff's criminal prosecution, the Nebraska Supreme Court has ruled in reversing a dismissal.
The plaintiff was a daycare operator who was charged with felony child abuse following the death of an infant in her care. The criminal charge was based on an autopsy report prepared by the defendant, a pathologist who worked for the state crime lab. The defendant's autopsy report indicated that the child had died from blunt force trauma related to child abuse.
