"At the conclusion of a town hall held this morning outside in Devner [sic, correction: Denver, Colorado], [2008 Election Republican Presidential Candidate] John McCain decided to toss in a plug for his upcoming energy policy rollout. But as McCain decried the dangers of Americans reliance on foreign oil, he also seemed to suggest that this reliance caused the current struggle in Iraq." ... ""My friends, I will have an energy policy that we will be talking about, which will eliminate our dependence on oil from the Middle East that will - that will then prevent us - that will prevent us from having ever to send our young men and women into conflict again in the Middle East," McCain said." ... "This comment was initially prompted by a compliment from a military veteran who stated that he hoped a group called "Swift Boats for McCain come out and help" the GOP [GOP=Grand Old Party=Republican] nominee. " ... "Of note -- McCain didn't object to the audience member's suggestion that a so-called 'swift boat' group help him win the presidency. Instead, he thanked the man for his good wishes and his military service." -By Adam Aigner-Treworgy -NationalJournal

Barack Obama - Hillary Clinton - Accounting - Indiana - North Carolina - Illinois - New York - Colorado - 2008 Election - "Obama Heads for Superdelegate Edge." ... "The 795 superdelegates, who can vote for any nominee, fall into one of two groups -- the elected and the unelected." ... "The elected are the party's 28 governors, 234 House members, 49 senators and assorted big-city mayors and state officeholders." ... "The nonelected superdelegates are the more than 400 national and state party officers of the Democratic National Committee." ... "Among elected officials, [2008 Election Democratic Presidential Candidate and Illinois Senator Barack] Sen. Obama leads in endorsements from governors and senators. He is behind among House members by one, but both camps expect him to pull ahead unless he does badly in next Tuesday's Indiana and North Carolina primaries. If he doesn't stumble, enough elected Democrats are expected to back Sen. Obama after the last primaries June 3 to give him the delegate majority needed for nomination." ... "[2008 Election Democratic Presidential Candidate and New York Senator Hillary] Sen. Clinton still leads in endorsements from nonelected officials. Many have known her and former [Democratic] President Clinton since the couple's White House years, or worked for them then." ... "About 300 of the 795 superdelegates remain uncommitted; they don't have to endorse anyone until [August] Aug. 27 at the Democrats' Denver [Colorado] convention." -By Jackie Calmes -WSJ.com

Terrorism - Language - Radio - Politics - 2008 Election - Denver - Colorado - "Rush Limbaugh Calling For Riots In Denver." ... "Talk show host Rush Limbaugh is sparking controversy again after he made comments calling for riots in Denver [Colorado] during the [2008 Election] Democratic National Convention this summer." ... "He said the riots would ensure a Democrat is not elected as president, and his listeners have a responsibility to make sure it happens." ... ""Riots in Denver, the Democrat Convention would see to it that we don't elect Democrats," Limbaugh said during Wednesday's radio broadcast. He then went on to say that's the best thing that could happen to the country." -TheDenverChannel.com

2008 Election - Florida - Michigan - Colorado - "Choice of Democratic nominee may rest with panel: Convention's Credentials Commitee could have to decide on Fla., Mich. delegates." ... "There are 186 people in this country who ultimately could select the Democratic presidential nominee." ... "Most of them do not know they'll soon wield such power. They will be picked by their state parties or by the party's national chairman to be on the Credentials Committee to the Democratic National Convention. It's normally a political reward, but this year the job could seem more like punishment." ... "If the dispute over what to do about Florida and Michigan — whose Democratic primary results have not been recognized by the party — is not settled by the time Democrats gather in August in Denver [Colorado], the Credentials Committee will probably make the call on what to do about delegates from the rogue states, which defied the party by moving up their primary dates." ... "The committee could decide whether those delegates are seated at the convention, and to which candidate they are pledged." ... "The ultimate winner of the nomination could ride on the outcome." ... "The 186 Democrats that will form the committee will be chosen during the next several months. DNC Chairman Howard Dean appoints 25 of them, which he has already done." ... "The others are elected by the state parties, based on population." -By Aaron Gould Sheinin -AJC

Bans Most Electronic Voting Machines: Security Risks, Inaccuracy Cited; Federal Certification Process Called "Inadequate"." ... "Colorado's top election official decertified electronic voting machines used in many of the state's largest counties Monday, calling into question equipment used in past elections in a move he said could have national implications." ... "Electronic voting machines used in [Colorado counties:] Denver, Arapahoe, Pueblo, Mesa and Elbert counties cannot be used in the next [2008] election because of problems with accuracy or security, Secretary of State Mike Coffman said." ... "A number of electronic scanners used to count ballots were also decertified, including a type used by Boulder County as well as more than three dozen small to mid-size counties around the state." ... "His decision affects six of Colorado's 10 most populous counties and three of the four equipment manufacturers allowed in the state." ...

Secret - Surveillance - Terrorism - Crime - Telecommunications - Companies - Government - Legislation - Politics - Intelligence - Drug - Consumer - Wireless - Technology - United States - Global - Space - Colorado - New Jersey - "Wider Spying Fuels Aid Plan for Telecom Industry." ... "For months, the [Republican President] Bush administration has waged a high-profile campaign, including personal lobbying by President Bush and closed-door briefings by top officials, to persuade Congress to pass legislation protecting companies from lawsuits for aiding the National Security Agency’s warrantless eavesdropping program." ... "But the battle is really about something much bigger. At stake is the federal government’s extensive but uneasy partnership with industry to conduct a wide range of secret surveillance operations in fighting terrorism and crime." ... "The N.S.A.’s reliance on telecommunications companies is broader and deeper than ever before, according to government and industry officials, yet that alliance is strained by legal worries and the fear of public exposure." ... "To detect narcotics trafficking, for example, the government has been collecting the phone records of thousands of Americans and others inside the United States who call people in Latin America, according to several government officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the program remains classified. But in 2004, one major phone carrier balked at turning over its customers’ records. Worried about possible privacy violations or public relations problems, company executives declined to help the operation, which has not been previously disclosed." ... "In a separate N.S.A. [National Security Agency] project, executives at a Denver [Colorado] phone carrier, Qwest, refused in early 2001 to give the agency access to their most localized communications switches, which primarily carry domestic calls, according to people aware of the request, which has not been previously reported. They say the arrangement could have permitted neighborhood-by-neighborhood surveillance of phone traffic without a court order, which alarmed them." ... "The federal government’s reliance on private industry has been driven by changes in technology. Two decades ago, telephone calls and other communications traveled mostly through the air, relayed along microwave towers or bounced off satellites. The N.S.A. could vacuum up phone, fax and data traffic merely by erecting its own satellite dishes. But the fiber optics revolution has sent more and more international communications by land and undersea cable, forcing the agency to seek company cooperation to get access." ... "[An ATT engineer is claiming in a lawsuit that as early as February 2001,] “What he saw,” said Bruce Afran, a New Jersey lawyer representing the plaintiffs along with Carl Mayer, “was decisive evidence that within two weeks of taking office, the [Republican] Bush administration was planning a comprehensive effort of spying on Americans’ phone usage.”" (1, 2) -By Eric Lichtblau, James Risen, and Scott Shane -NYTimes

Secret - Larry Craig - Gay - Idaho - Colorado - Minnesota - Airport - Police - Law - 2008 Election - Money - "More gay men describe sexual encounters with U.S. Sen. Craig: Allegations made since news of the Minneapolis case broke lend weight to rumors about [Idaho Republican Senator Larry] Craig." ... "David Phillips. Mike Jones. Greg Ruth. Tom Russell." ... "Four gay men, willing to put their names in print and whose allegations can't be disproved, have come forward since news of U.S. Sen. Larry Craig's guilty plea. They say they had sex with Craig or that he made a sexual advance or that he paid them unusual attention." ... "They are telling their stories now because they are offended by Craig's denials, including his famous statement, "I am not gay, I never have been gay." Those words, spoken on live national TV on Aug. 28, are now memorialized on a just-released-for-Christmas Talking Senator Larry Craig Action Figure." ... "A fifth gay man, who is from Boise [Idaho's capital] but who declined to be named for fear of retaliation, offered a recent and telling account: He was in a men's restroom at [Colorado's] Denver International Airport in September 2006 when the man in the next stall moved his hand slowly, palm up, under the divider. Alarmed, the man said he waited outside the restroom and then identified the man in the adjoining stall as Craig, whom he had met in Idaho." ... "Craig, 62, says he was a victim of "profiling" when he was arrested June 11 at [Minnesota's] Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport for soliciting sex from an undercover police officer in an adjoining stall in a men's restroom. Craig pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct in August. He is appealing his conviction, financed by his 2008 re-election fund." ... "Craig has said he hoped to keep his guilty plea secret." -By Dan Popkey -IdahoStatesman.com

Government - Surveillance - Phone - Company - Terrorism - Intelligence - Law - Politics - Colorado - New York - "Former CEO Says U.S. Punished Phone Firm: Qwest Feared NSA Plan Was Illegal, Filing Says." ... "A former Qwest Communications International executive, appealing a conviction for insider trading, has alleged that the government withdrew opportunities for contracts worth hundreds of millions of dollars after Qwest refused to participate in an unidentified National Security Agency program that the company thought might be illegal." ... "Former chief executive Joseph P. Nacchio, convicted in April of 19 counts of insider trading, said the NSA approached Qwest more than six months before the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, according to court documents unsealed in Denver [Colorado] this week." ... "Details about the alleged NSA program have been redacted from the documents, but Nacchio's lawyer said last year that the NSA had approached the company about participating in a warrantless surveillance program to gather information about Americans' phone records." ... "Nacchio's account, which places the NSA proposal at a meeting on Feb. 27, 2001, suggests that the [Republican President] Bush administration was seeking to enlist telecommunications firms in programs without court oversight before the terrorist attacks on New York and the Pentagon. The Sept. 11 attacks have been cited by the government as the main impetus for its warrantless surveillance efforts." ... "Kurt Opsahl, senior staff attorney for the Electronic Frontier Foundation, said: "It's inappropriate for the government to be awarding a contract conditioned upon an agreement to an illegal program. That truly is what's going on here."" (1, 2) -By Ellen Nakashima and Dan Eggen with contributions by Richard Drezen -WashingtonPost

Karl Rove - Election - Politics - Colorado - Illinois - Texas - Law - "Karl Rove's controversial career." ... "Born in Denver [Colorado] on Christmas 1950 to parents who were neither political nor religious, [Republican politician] Karl Christian Rove at a young age showed a talent for politics." ... "1970: Prank in Chicago [Illinois]" ... "As a 19-year-old working in Illinois, Rove used an assumed name to gain access to the headquarters of Democratic state treasurer candidate Alan Dixon. He made off with campaign stationery, which he used to print 1,000 fliers promising "free beer, free food, girls and a good time for nothing" at Dixon's Chicago [Illinois] office. The fliers were given to homeless people on Lower Wacker Drive. Years later, Rove expressed regret for the "youthful prank."" ... "1978: Clements' man" ... "With Rove's support, Bill Clements became the first Republican elected governor of Texas in more than a century. Rove served for a time as his chief of staff but left the job to do political consulting, especially direct-mail appeals, at which Rove was master." ... "1986: Bugging incident" ... "Clements was defeated in 1982 and then ran again in 1986, with Rove playing a key role. Before a debate, Rove announced that an eavesdropping device had been found in Clements' campaign offices. Amid accusations that Clements' campaign had planted the bug in its own offices, a federal grand jury considered and rejected charges against Rove." ... "1992: Alleged leaker" ... "Rove was fired from [former Republican President] George H.W. Bush's re-election effort over suspicions that he leaked damaging information about a campaign colleague to Chicago Sun-Times columnist Robert Novak. Rove and Novak denied the accusation." -Contributed to by Lou Dubose, Jan Reid and Carl M. Cannon -ChicagoTribune

Health - Science - Consumer - Food - Drug - Safety - Terrorism - Emergencies - Lawmakers - Politics - Animal - Pets - Pennsylvania - Colorado- Michigan - Calif - Kan - Mass - "FDA plan to close field labs draws fire." ... "A Food and Drug Administration plan to close seven of 13 field laboratories has angered some lawmakers, government workers and safety advocates, who fear the move will chase away skilled veteran employees and hurt the FDA's ability to respond to public health emergencies." ... "The FDA's field labs inspect and analyze food, drugs, animal medications and feeds, medical devices and other health products." ... "The labs check for compliance with federal guidelines, protect consumers from unsafe, ineffective and mislabeled products, and help investigate public health threats such as product tampering, bio-terrorism, food-borne illnesses and contaminated blood supplies." ... "Several of the facilities helped investigate the recent pet food scare and E. coli and salmonella outbreaks in spinach and peanut butter. On the heels of these crises, the proposed lab closings have been met with strong suspicion." ... "Over the next several years, the FDA wants to close labs in Philadelphia [Pennsylvania]; Denver [Colorado]; Detroit [Michigan]; Alameda, Calif. [California]; Lenexa, Kan.; San Juan, Puerto Rico; and Winchester, Mass [Massachusetts]. Those operations and an estimated 250 employees would then be moved to five multi-purpose "mega-labs" that could handle all types of FDA testing." ... "But some fear that fewer labs would delay the testing of food, biological medical products or drugs in the event of a public health emergency." -By Tony Pugh -McClatchy via -RealCities

Ted Haggard - Gay - Drug - Politics - Colorado - Law - "Haggard fired for "sexually immoral conduct"." ... "Ted Haggard, the beleaguered pastor of a Colorado Springs [Colorado] evangelical church who had denied having sex with a male prostitute, has been fired by an oversight board, which found him guilty of "sexually immoral conduct."" ... "The findings stand in stark contrast to the immensely popular public image of the New Life Church's founding pastor. A rising star, Haggard, 50, was at times a consultant to the White House, the author of several books, and until he stepped down this week, president of the National Association of Evangelicals, which represents more than 30 million worshippers." ... "The board that made the decision, called the "Overseer Board of New Life Church," said in a prepared statement Saturday afternoon: "Our investigation and Pastor Haggard's public statements have proven without a doubt that he has committed sexually immoral conduct."" ... "Mike Jones, 49, of Denver [Colorado], had come forward Wednesday and said Haggard had had a paid sexual relationship with him monthly for three years. Jones also said Haggard used crystal meth." ... "And though he said he didn't want to ruin Haggard's life, there was too much at stake in keeping silent. Haggard is a vocal support of Amendment 43, which would define marriage in Colorado as being strictly between a man and a woman." -By Chuck Plunkett with contributions by Kirk Mitchell -DenverPost.com

Ted Haggard - Drugs - Religious - Gay - Colorado - "Christian Leader Admits to Buying Drugs." ... "The Rev. Ted Haggard, the former president of the National Association of Evangelicals and one of the nation’s most influential Christian leaders, admitted today that he had purchased the illegal drug methamphetamine from a gay escort in Denver [Colorado], but denied that he ever had sex with the man." ... "Ted Haggard, the former president of the U.S. National Association of Evangelicals, resigned on Thursday after being accused of having a sexual relationship with a male escort." ... "Mr. Haggart resigned as president of the evangelical association and stepped aside as senior pastor of the New Life mega-church in Colorado Springs, Colo., on Thursday after Michael Forest Jones, a self-described former gay prostitute, accused him of having a sexual affair for three years and using the drug, commonly known as crystal meth, during those encounters." -NYTimes

"Ted Haggard, one of the most prominent evangelical pastors in the nation, resigned today as president of the National Association of Evangelicals amid allegations that he carried on a three-year sexual relationship with a male prostitute." ... "Haggard, founder of the 14,000-member New Life Church, has denied the accusations but said in a statement released by the church today that he could "not continue to minister under the cloud created by accusations made on Denver [Colorda] talk radio this morning."" ... "He has placed himself on administrative leave pending investigation, spiritual counsel and a decision by the church's board of overseers, the church's legal counsel said. Haggard founded the church in 1985." -By Eric Gorski, Felisa Cardona, and Manny Gonzales -DenverPost.com

Montana - Colorado - Wyoming - Energy - Economic - Water - Health - Politics - "Montana Pollution Rules Draw Federal Objections." ... "Federal energy officials are opposing new rules by Montana to force companies that extract methane gas from underground coal beds to clean up the water pollution caused by drilling operations, even as state officials cite an unreleased 2003 federal report that says cleanup costs are relatively inexpensive." ... "The Denver [Colorado] office of the Environmental Protection Agency produced the report but never published it, saying it related to a proposed drilling application that was dropped." ... "A Montana consulting firm obtained a copy of the EPA report, however, and handed it over to Gov. Brian Schweitzer (D). Last month, Montana's Board of Environmental Review, citing the EPA paper and other economic studies, voted to force coalbed methane companies to leave the state's streams as clean as they were before drilling started, although the companies do not have to clean up existing pollution." ... "The Energy Department and the Wyoming congressional delegation are backing companies that are trying to block Montana's new rules, on the grounds that they could hamper energy development." -By Juliet Eilperin -WashingtonPost

- Wyoming - Colorado - - "Denver-Based Co. Sells Stake in Gas Field." ... "A group of California utilities has purchased part of a key Wyoming natural gas field from the Anschutz Pinedale Corp. for $300 million." ... "Anschutz Pinedale will continue to produce natural gas from its remaining undeveloped 8,000 acres in the Pinedale Anticline of southwestern Wyoming, Anschutz spokesman Jim Monaghan said Tuesday. The company is part of the holdings of Denver [Colorado] billionaire Philip Anschutz." -Newsday.com
