		    <description><![CDATA[<p>This is what scares the Wikipediots the most... all we need is three people (I am not sure you work Rachel being from that Northern Country and all) and one great lawyer and we have a class action.  I'm willing to pass a lie detector that Jimmy has told me on two occasions that he would fix any problems I had with my article, just call him.  In fact I need to check emails but I believe he says that in one of them.  Class action allows the lawyer to sue on behalf of all victims.  We'd end up owning WP and tossing it to the seven winds.</p> <p>ColScott</p>]]></description>

		    <description><![CDATA[<p>@Rachel:  I'm not sure you really understand what the "Real World" is.  (Hint:  it's not on MTV, and definitely not on The O'Reilly Factor!)</p>
<p>Case in point:</p>
<p>- You claim you were educated in Law in Canada:</p>
<p>"My own legal training, unfortunately, is limited almost exclusively to Canadian law."</p>
<p>- You went to Simon Fraser University, in Canada. (at least that's accurate)</p>
<p>- SFU has no Law School.  SFU has a smattering of undergrad law-related courses in forensic psychology and criminology, including those taught by your friend <a href="http://bucketsdata.wordpress.com/1999/06/02/toronto-star-2-june-1999-marsden-returns-to-sfu/">Neil Boyd</a>.  These would leave you sadly unprepared for the intellectual property, copyright, and/or defamation issues you're tackling now.</p>
<p>Sorry to put another dent in the grand delusion..</p>
<p>If you had a case, you'd have a lawyer.  If you had a lawyer, that professional -- not you -- would be emailing Godwin (or more likely, sending registered letters).  And they most certainly would not advise posting transcripts of those conversations online.</p>
<p>Of course you'd know some of this if you'd actually had any "legal training", aside from that which you received when being charged in the Criminal Courts of British Columbia.</p>
<p>Tell me:  if you tell people that you drive a Porsche, does it suddenly appear in your garage?  Or can you only manifest the intangible and imaginary -- like your curriculum vitae?  Bah, no bother: I'm going to my fridge to get one last real beer before bedtime.</p> <p><a href="n/a">colonelpanic</a></p>]]></description>

		    <description><![CDATA[<p>@<a href="#c5700424">Rachel Marsden</a>: I hope you enjoy "digging into your jurisprudence on this one"... I'm fairly certain that the number of people who have "a lot less legal knowledge on this issue" than you do is a pretty short list.</p>
<p>If you truly had a case, your lawyer would be talking to Godwin, not a busy [sic] professional [*cough*] like you.</p>
<p>A tip:  Avoid big mumblefuck words like "jurisprudence" unless you're fully confident in how they are used within the profession.  If you stick to the three-dollar words they make you news with the Faux News Frat Boy audience, it's at least a tiny bit more difficult for folks like us, who actually know what we're talking about, to discern how completely full of shit you are.</p>
<p>Go back to your Life[cycle] and move on with your Life... leaving the series of tubes to those of us who respect it.  Godwin's advice is sound:  Take your crusade against Wikipedia to.. uh.. Wikipedia.</p> <p><a href="n/a">colonelpanic</a></p>]]></description>

		    <description><![CDATA[<p>I always love it when Wikitools invade a thread - it usually comes right at the tail ends, as it does here. It's kind of like walking into an Arby's and seeing Sir Dave of Hooterville and his merry maid Christie sucking down slushies in full medieval regalia from their role playing game. They're anachronistic, sad, funny and totally oblivious.</p> <p>jackparsons</p>]]></description>

		    <description><![CDATA[<p>Make no mistake, by the way: Godwin is a wild-eyed Wikipedia zealot and true believer, and was so long before he started working there. There is no reasonable discourse possible with him on the subject (or on many subjects): even mentioning the fact that there are thorny problems that come with the existence of Wikipedia will make you, in his mind, an enemy. This is true even if you say you use Wikipedia and generally like it. It's political for him.</p>

		    <description><![CDATA[<p>@Rachel Marsden -</p>
<p>"our legal status as a service provider rather than as a publisher"</p>
<p>That's the problem.  Legally Wikipedia is the same as a message board, but in reality it  has more in common with an online version of a magazine, or book.  People don't go to message board's for biographical information about people, they go to Wikipedia.  And as we all know, Wikipedia is killing the dead-tree magazines left and right.</p>
<p>So what are public figures to do?  When "Star" magazine wants to print some juicy tidbit on Tom Cruise's alleged gayness, they have to really think about it.  If you or a myriad other public figures object to something in your Wikipedia article, you get the <br>
"we're a service provider, sorry ma'am" end of story.</p>
<p>It's an interesting legal issue and possibly precedent setting.  I'm sure there are other public figures that would like the online pendulum swung in their favor more.</p> <p>WilliamMarkFelt</p>]]></description>

<P>Hi Mike,</P>
<P>Again, thank you for your note.</P>
<P>In short, for information related to the editing of the Rachel Marsden<BR>Wikipedia by Jimmy Wales through Wikipedia administrators, please refer<BR>to his March 1st, 2008 statement, as posted on Wikipedia.</P>
<P>As you can probably appreciate, as a busy professional, I don't really<BR>have the time or inclination to get involved in skirmishes on websites<BR>- Wikipedia or otherwise.</P>
<P>Over the years, libelous and inaccurate information - often based on<BR>sources which have printed retractions - has been prevalent, if not<BR>dominant, in the Wikipedia Rachel Marsden article. As such, I would kindly<BR>request, in order to prevent this ongoing issue, that the article in<BR>question simply be permanently deleted.</P>
<P>Again, I greatly appreciate your attention to this matter.</P>
<P>Kind regards,<BR>Rachel Marsden</P>
<P>------Original Message------<BR>From: Mike Godwin<BR>To: Rachel Marsden<BR>Cc: Cary Bass<BR>Sent: Mar 30, 2008 10:05 PM<BR>Subject: Re: Rachel Marsden Wikipedia Article</P>
<P>Dear Ms. Marsden,</P>
<P>We have received your communications regarding what are apparently <BR>complaints about the Wikipedia entry for "Rachel Marsden." I have <BR>forwarded your electronic communications to our volunteer community, <BR>asking the volunteers to begin a review of the article in question. We<BR><BR>note here, as we always do in response to such complaints, that anyone<BR><BR>(including you) can edit a Wikipedia article to remove or change <BR>inaccurate or misleading information. Most readers find that editing <BR>an inaccurate article is both a less expensive and more satisfying <BR>remedy than legal action. If you would like to do so yourself, and you<BR><BR>have any difficulty doing so, please contact our volunteer <BR>coordinator, Cary Bass, who will assist you.</P>
<P>Generally, any edits of an existing article should be accompanied both<BR><BR>be an explanatory note in the header for the edit and, if possible, by<BR><BR>an explanation for the changes in the Talk page of the article. In <BR>addition, revisions are more likely to be respected if undertaken by a<BR><BR>registered user of Wikipedia rather than by an anonymous user. <BR>Registration is, as always, free of charge.</P>
<P>We realize that self-help is sometimes counterintuitive in an era in <BR>which we are transitioning from one-way mass media (newspapers and <BR>broadcasting) to a more collaborative model (including wikis such as <BR>Wikipedia), but we encourage you to explore this option on your <BR>client's behalf, even as we ask our volunteers to review the article <BR>as well.</P>
<P>With regard to any request for personally identifying information <BR>regarding certain registered users, you should know that our privacy <BR>policy forbids our giving out that information. Moreover, even if you <BR>obtained a court order requiring disclosure of the information we <BR>have, be aware that we don't normally retain much personal identifying<BR><BR>information in any case (we don't need to, since registration is free,<BR><BR>eliminating any need for financial or physical-address information).</P>
<P>We also ask that you understand that the Wikimedia Foundation is not <BR>the publisher or republisher of the article in question. We did not <BR>write it. To my knowledge neither we nor any agent or employee or ours<BR><BR>has edited it. We do not hold any copyrights related to the article. <BR>What we will do is refer your complaints to the community of volunteer<BR><BR>editors, one or more of whom may attempt to address your concerns. <BR>Finally, even if we assume that yours is a reputational interest that <BR>can be vindicated under defamation law, you will perhaps recall that <BR>providers of information services are immune under Section 230 of the <BR>federal Communications Decency Act (1996) from most civil liability <BR>for content they did not originate or develop.</P>
<P>I urge you to correct any problems you see with the article yourself, <BR>and once again offer our assistance, if necessary, in teaching you how<BR><BR>to edit a Wikipedia article.</P>
<P>I should add that it is probably impossible for someone unfamiliar <BR>with your biography and factual details to determine at a reading of <BR>the article which statements (or which supporting documentation) are <BR>factually erroneous. Certainly if you decide in subsequent <BR>correspondence to detail precisely what sentences need to be changed, <BR>and provide sources for those changes, we can both forward your <BR>complaints to the volunteer editors and/or post them verbatim on the <BR>Discussion page associated with the "Rachel Marsden" article. We<BR>are <BR>also willing to help you post your letters verbatim to the Talk page <BR>associated with the article, if you should so choose. Obviously, given<BR><BR>our legal status as a service provider rather than as a publisher, we <BR>cannot exercise significant editorial judgment on the article <BR>ourselves (if we did so and you didn't like the outcome, you would no <BR>doubt threaten again to sue us).</P>

<P>------Original Message------<BR>To: Mike Godwin<BR>Sent: Mar 30, 2008 9:53 PM<BR>Subject: Re: Rachel Marsden Wikipedia Article</P>
<P>Hi Mike,</P>
<P>Thanks again for your response. Please trust that these legal<BR>judgments I'm making are indeed based on extensive consultation with an<BR>attorney based here in New York City, specializing in such matters. My own<BR>legal training, unfortunately, is limited almost exclusively to Canadian<BR>law.</P>
<P>It would appear that the approach you describe directly contradicts the<BR>spirit of the CDA, which claims that Internet providers are merely<BR>providing a blank bulletin board, where people can post whatever they<BR>want. That is only true, however, insofar as the owners of the bulletin<BR>board do not interfere with what is posted there. It is my understanding,<BR>based on extensive legal consultation, that the moment they decide to<BR>take action regarding postings, they are liable for everything that is<BR>on it.</P>
<P>Jimmy Wales, my ex-boyfriend and Wikimedia Board member, admits<BR>publicly to having my article altered. In other words, he is admitting that<BR>he is essentially responsible for the content of the bulletin board--he<BR>can influence what it says, and the law says that since he can, he<BR>should. In other words, the safe harbour--I am not responsible for what<BR>people post on my bulletin board--goes right out the window.</P>
<P>I have been advised that the Wikimedia Foundation<BR>alone is legally liable for the actions of its admins, as they are<BR>working on behalf of the Foundation.</P>
<P>In other words, the Wikimedia Foundation is acting as publisher, rather<BR>than as bulletin board, negating the basis of any legal protection it<BR>might<BR>have.</P>
<P>In my case, it is a Board member instructing admins to act on behalf of<BR>the Foundation. In other words, there is no legal safe harbour; Jimmy<BR>Wales is responsible for all the content - particularly now that malice<BR>is provable based on article content before vs after this recent<BR>public ordeal.</P>
<P>It is my sincere hope that, in approaching you personally at this early<BR>stage, any further wrangling or publicity over this issue, by lawyers<BR>on both sides, might be avoided and the situation handled amicably and<BR>in good faith.</P>
<P>Yours sincerely,<BR>Rachel Marsden</P>
<P>Dear Ms. Marsden,</P>
<P>That interpretation has been attempted in the courts, but has not been<BR><BR>adopted. Moreover, as one of the drafters of the precursors of Sec. <BR>230, I'm clear that notice does not trigger a requirement for removal <BR>of content, except in narrow circumstances, none of which you have <BR>invoked here, and none of which could justify the removal of the <BR>entire article, as you request. I ask that you not take my word on <BR>this but consult your own counsel and any other experts as well.</P>
<P>Best regards,</P>
<P>--Mike Godwin<BR>General Counsel<BR>Wikimedia Foundation</P>

		    <description><![CDATA[<p>@dannyisme:  Brilliant commentary, particularly this:</p>
<p>"Even if one accepts the basic premise that "eventually we will get it right," there is still the menace of the "meanwhile" to contend with."</p>
<p>Most topics are utterly benign, like the discography of Menudo, or even the succession of Popes from Saint Peter to today.</p>
<p>Others, however, by their nature, someone had better make sure you get it right.  Cancer's a pretty serious topic, and I would hope that the editors who regularly work on the cancer articles, understand that many people who read this want to have an understanding of a disease that they may, or do, have.</p>
<p>And the same thing with pedophilia.  I have no problem with the pedophilia article on Wikipedia, but I have serious concerns with the numerous ancillary articles on pedophilia activism.  I've gone on and on, ad nauseum and ad infinitum about why, and won't bore anyone with the details anymore.</p>
<p>Now, if people who disagree with me would take the same tone, then we could actually learn something.</p> <p>WilliamMarkFelt</p>]]></description>

		    <description><![CDATA[<p>This is actually evolving into a fascinating discussion about Wikipedia's underlying ideals. Wikipedia prides itself on being "the encyclopedia that anyone can edit"--expert and amateur alike. And for certain topics, like whether Abraham Lincoln had Marfan's Syndrome or the details of Sir John A. MacDonald's first marriage--the consequences are hardly earth-shattering.</p>
<p>It seems, however, that there are certain topics--pedophilia among them--that do require an expert's touch because of the potential consequences. It is not something that an amateur, no matter how well-meaning, can use Wikipedia as a forum to speculate about, regardless of the number of citations. Even if one accepts the basic premise that "eventually we will get it right," there is still the menace of the "meanwhile" to contend with.</p> <p>dannyisme</p>]]></description>

		    <description><![CDATA[<p>"You're not allowed to be rational about slicing abdomens and eating innards, you have to fall down...." etc.</p>
<p>If being "rational" means leaving out or glossing over or trying to "balance" the harm that pedophilia does, it's not actually rational. One doesn't need to foam at the mouth to comprehend this. The argument for "balance" may come from some kind of misguided, puerile libertarianism, or some kind of misguided, puerile ideas about sexual freedom. Or it may come from conscious or subconscious pedophilia -- in any of those cases, it's still wrong, and it's still, at best, incredibly thoughtless and selfish given the harm done to children. See how I'm not foaming or going insane?</p> <p>johnnypotatoes</p>]]></description>

		    <description><![CDATA[<p>@<a href="#c5686722">SeanPara</a>: Well, there is your mistake. You're not allowed to be rational about pedophilia. At the merest whiff, you have to fall down, foaming at the mouth, batshit insane over the issue. Anything less indicates that you too are obviously a child molester.</p> <p>bugz321</p>]]></description>

		    <description><![CDATA[<p>Someone's flying off the handle in these comments... :P</p>
<p>but anyway, I don't believe this Scorpions album cover is child porn.  It's pretty tasteless, but now it's pop-culture history and it's significant.  And you really have to search for that album to find it, btw. It's not like it's classified under 'nake kids', like some other articles on wikipedia are.  (ex: there is a picture illustrating 'hand job' ?!)</p>
<p>Now where were all these talk of NOT  purposely posting offensive pictures when the subject was Islam..  there was a big silence then, if I remember correctly.  I'm not islamic, but imho that was more an obvious example the wikipedia community's sense of moral superiority and self-righteousness over everyone else.</p> <p>frederic</p>]]></description>

Sure, the pro-splitting open people's abdomens and feasting on their innards side is represented, but so is the anti side. It's well balanced and informed and does not advocate anything.

		    <description><![CDATA[<p>Actually the Feds have *nothing better to do* than chase down such things, because pics of underage kids is what they are supposed to be chasing.  Not to mention IP infringement, which this was also.</p>
<p>Ah... Jimbo at his usual f-tard self.  Of course, any normal, sane corporate leader would speak better, but not our hero.  Which leads to the next point.</p>
<p>Jimbos not afraid of the Feds for good reason.</p>
<p>In general, one knows if one is being investigated by one's "in bed with" partner.  Jimbos affair with the FBI (et al) has lasted longer, and has unfortunately received far less attention than his with our friend, here, Rachel.</p>

		    <description><![CDATA[<p>Jimbo qoutes; "Do not place shocking or explicit pictures into an article unless they have been approved by a consensus of editors for that article"</p>
<p>This isn't the way it works in practice. You actually need a consensus to 'remove' and objectionable image, not to 'add' it. Anything obscene at Wikipedia gets magical protection under the banner of anti-censorship. This mindset is so strong that it trumps editorial judgment, and that's why Wikipedia has images of men sucking their own wieners. <br>

		    <description><![CDATA[<P>Hi Owen! I have a suggestion. You now have a "Connectedness Index" sponsored by Acura TSX. I propose that you add software to compute "Coprolalia Index" for each poster. You can come up with some funny formula eg. exp(count("shit")) + sqrt(count("fuck")) + ln(abs(count("wiki") - count("[pm]edia")))</P>
<P>I don't immediately know who would sponsor it, but I trust you will be able to profitably add it to your inventory.</P>
<P>You could also organize a some sort of friendly betting scheme on eg. when W.M.F. will overtake R.M. in the copro-ranking.</P> <p><a href="n/a">Spy from the Land of Rainpeople</a></p>]]></description>

<p>1)A Wikepedian paedophile, a wikipedian who is also a self-admitted paedophile or discovered to be a paedophile.</p>
<p>2)one who uses and/or edits Wikipedia for the purpose of illegally promoting and defending criminal sexual molestation of children such as pedophile propaganda advocacy by introducing and editing Wikipedia articles to include pedophile bias POV, and/or grooming children for child rape by linking from Wikipedia to outside sources for child sexual solicitation purposes.</p>
<p>Well when you have a meme out there like this, that's bad enough.  When you can make a pretty good case that the #2 meets the definition of "Wikipedo" that's a whole other legal ballgame.</p>

		    <description><![CDATA[<p>@Mr E. - the issue is hosting, not searching.</p>
<p>IF the FBI thing is true, maybe it's the old investigative foot-in-the-door for looking into this:</p>
<p><a href="http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080221061036AAvEjUr">[answers.yahoo.com]</a></p>
<p>The best quote:</p>
<p>"It was claimed that there is an active community there of people who feel molesting children is not harmful, and they undermine articles about abuse in a subtle way. They very carefully reword articles so that it looks like harm from sexual abuse is simply bias on the part of society and quote obscure research from seemingly qualified scientists (but of dubious motive and validity). Not only that, they beat their critics over the head with wikipedia policy in order to silence them and keep them from contesting such claims."</p>
<p>So let's connect some dots.  Does the SEC go after Joe Bob McCluskey in Fuckknuckle, USA for trading some stock of a small company whose CEO he plays golf with every Saturday. Not usually, no.  They go after people like Martha Stuart.</p>
<p>So now you have the #9 website in the world, and it's pretty well been proven that their #2 is a pedophilia sympathizer, and now you have average citizen writing on yahoo that he/she has concerns about certain articles on Wikipedia being controlled by a pack of pervs, and their leadership says and does nothing about it even though they know.  Looks like big news in the making.</p>
<p>But all this stuff takes time.  But, sooner or later, Uncle Sam is going to get his grubby meatgrubbers into Wikipedia, and the Feds love press just as much as Jimbo.</p>
<p>While they're in the investigation stage, Erik certainly has the time to get out of the USA, and the civilians who came into this believing the hype, and not knowing what a hive of weirdos this really is, can cut their losses, and run away.</p>
<p>I could be wrong about the whole thing - but I don't think so.</p> <p>WilliamMarkFelt</p>]]></description>

Because your stupid website is still rife with it, just as it's rife with half-assed truths, inaccuracies, and complete fiction on living people's "biographies" because some reporter put it in an article that some Wikipidiot linked to without having any idea as to the accuracy of the information. Why is this so rampant? Because you don't give a shit, Jimmy. That's why.</P>
<P>You don't give a shit until it affects YOU.</P>
<P>You only edited my bio while we were "fucking our brains out" (your words, not mine, dear) because you were concerned about how the public's perception of me might impact on YOU. And as soon as we broke up, you opened up an unabated free-for-all.</P>
<P>You're utterly full of shit, Jimmy. But what else is new.</P> <p><a href="http://www.rachelmarsden.com">Rachel Marsden</a></p>]]></description>

		    <description><![CDATA[<P>One more Wikipedia link for those who are actually interested in the background: <A href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freikorperkultur">[en.wikipedia.org]</A> .</P>
<P>At the time I saw and heard the record first time this didn't really look to me as a posed atalier photo. It look like a photomontage made with a picture from some FKK vacation brochure. They would be available from pretty much every travel agency in Germany.</P>
<P>I must have liked the record a lot, because I still vaguely remember "Pictured life" and "Yellow Raven".</P>
<P>By the way, are your arguments about "social nudity" any better than those of Hermann Goring? Or are just itching to fill more prisons than his goverment?</P> <p><a href="n/a">Spy from the Land of Rainpeople</a></p>]]></description>

		    <description><![CDATA[<P>This is just sad. People get worked up over the covers of the semi-obscure rock albums.</P>
<P>I remember when we got detained after school for playing rock music too loud, the teacher complained about the previous Scorpions' album "In Trance" <A href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_Trance">[en.wikipedia.org]</A> and UFO's "Force it" <A href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force_It.">[en.wikipedia.org]</A> I do recall that the US edition of UFO album had the women carefully stenciled out. I don't recall anyone batting an eye about the "Virgin Killer" cover. But in terms of album cover censorship nothing beats Judas Priest's "Rocka-Rolla" <A href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocka_Rolla">[en.wikipedia.org]</A> , it really hits heavily into the American icon.</P>
<P>Perhaps Wikipedia Foundation needs to move to some more cool-headed place like Old Blighty or Switzerland?</P> <p><a href="n/a">Spy from the Land of Rainpeople</a></p>]]></description>

		    <description><![CDATA[<p>OK OK, I'm an asshole, I fully know it. But I can't let this go.</p>
<p>"wonder: was the album cover *legally* banned in the US?"</p>
<p>Wonder. Weak word. Not your job to wonder. Your job is to know.  Yes, in the US this picture is illegal.</p>
<p>"[May 11 2008 00:45:59]  as in, a court case? [May 11 2008 00:46:05]  that would have to be in federal court I suppose"</p>
<p>Suppose.  Weak. Feh. No, just simply illegal.  It's the Scorpions, why would they spend more money in court that the album would or did ever make?</p>
<p>"[May 11 2008 00:46:10]  and there would have been an appeal, I suppose"</p>
<p>Another Holy Nugget from God's nether regions and despite its provenance from a Deity, it's still a buttnugget.</p>
<p>"as opposed to merely being "banned by the record company" for sales reasons or whatever"</p>
<p>In the US, it was more trouble than it's worth.  And for Wikipedia, it's more trouble that its worth too.  But, that would require what Jimbo railroaded Larry for - expert, or at least responsible, oversight.  But that would require a decision, and some people disliking a decision.  So instead it's best to just talk, like this above, and not say one fucking thing, so in the end, everyone still likes you.  But that just doesn't really fly anymore, but the one trick pony still likes the trick that got him to be friends with Bono and Branson.</p>
<p>And most importantly, he won't go near, and will never dare go near, the real issue.  Pedophilia sympathizers in da house!</p> <p>WilliamMarkFelt</p>]]></description>

		    <description><![CDATA[<p>Some intellectual speculation on one grain of sand about the Scorpions album cover, but nothing on the issue on having a pedophilia sympathizer in the #2 position?  The lack of saying anything about it, reveals a lot.  Too scary an issue to go there, too close to his career.</p>
<p>Wikipedia isn't just an encylopedia, it's also it's own type of social networking site.  And I wonder, just as many people do I'm sure, just how many legal children have voluntarily hooked up with pedophiles on say the pro-pedophilia activism article?</p>
<p>That's one among many things I doubt Wales will ever speak of publicly.</p> <p>WilliamMarkFelt</p>]]></description>

		    <description><![CDATA[<P>One of the hallmark signs of pseudo-intellectualism is the attempt to rationalize even the most sociopathic of behaviours under the guise of "intellectual debate".</P>
<P>If you're up for a delving into a discussion of the merits of kiddie porn, with admitted pedophiles, as it relates to Wikipedia "the encyclopedia game" website, or any other website, I'd say it's probably time to get your moral compass checked.</P>

		    <description><![CDATA[<p>Ah, even the king is splitting hairs over kiddie porn. Good show.</p>
<p>This is the wiki paradigm of intellectualism. Basically, pedos are banned everywhere else, wikipedia is a place where this rhetoric can go uncensored.</p>
<p>There is a difference between neutrality and being a haven for heinous crime. There is the freedom of speech principle, and then there is the harsh truth: when you justify crime, you simply encourage it. Don't take my word for it.</p>
<p>You'll probably be reporting NAMBLA donations coming in the next donation drive.</p> <p>Bornean</p>]]></description>

		    <description><![CDATA[<P>Yes, of course the FBI would always strive to keep the target(s) of any investigation(s) well-informed and apprised. That's how the feds roll.</P>
<P>There's no "debate" to be had by the 13-year olds who run Wikipedia here, Jimmy. It's been debated. By the Supreme Court. And it's been decided - for the Wikimatrix, too.</P>
<P>What a fidiot. I can't believe I actually dated this guy.</P> <p><a href="http://www.rachelmarsden.com">Rachel Marsden</a></p>]]></description>
