WASHINGTON -- An internal CIA report made public yesterday says the agency's heavily criticized interrogation techniques led to the 2003 arrest of a Columbus truck driver who pleaded guilty to providing assistance to al-Qaida. The 2004 report, released following an order by a federal judge, asserted that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the mastermind behind the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, provided CIA interrogators with information that "led to the investigation and prosecution'' of Iyman Faris, a native of Pakistan who was living in Columbus. Faris, 39, is serving a 20-year sentence after admitting he had scouted the Brooklyn Bridge in 2002 as...

On the same spot where then-candidate Barack Obama delivered closing arguments for the presidency last November, thousands of Ohioans gathered yesterday evening to issue a rebuttal. The "tea party" on the lawn of the Statehouse was one of hundreds of events around the country on the federal tax deadline to protest Obama's tax policies and the federal stimulus package. Organizers said about 7,000 people attended. The message was simple: The federal government, already bloated by decades of growth, now is gorging on the next generation's earnings with a stimulus plan that relies on billions of dollars in borrowed money."....

3 celebrating with guns shot by police in 3 incidents Thursday, January 1, 2009 7:46 PM By Kevin Mayhood The Columbus Dispatch Like cowboys whooping it up, central Ohioans celebrated another new year with guns blazing in the air. But for the first time, Columbus police shot revelers who they said refused to drop their weapons. Three people, all involved in separate incidents, were treated at area hospitals, though none suffered a life-threatening injury. "We've never had three police-involved shootings in one night before," said Sgt. Jeff Sacksteder, of the Columbus Police Division's cold-case squad. Sacksteder and a host of...

The path of destruction and fear stretched at least 5 miles yesterday morning after a 24-year-old man rocketed his car the wrong way on the South Outerbelt. The toll: Seven people injured, including the critically injured driver, Altunar Baltazar. Six vehicles crunched, including the smashed Nissan Maxima that witnesses say other cars were lucky to avoid. "He headed right for us," Columbus resident Robert Crawford said. "It was like he was trying to hit us. He had the pedal to the floor. I knew he was going to clip someone quick." Crawford, who was heading east on I-270, said the...

For president of the United States, The Dispatch endorses Republican Sen. John McCain, whose experience, service and sacrifice for his country make him more qualified to lead the nation. McCain's Democratic opponent, Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, is a rousing motivational speaker, but his experience and achievements -- eight years in the Illinois Legislature and less than four in the U.S. Senate -- do not stand comparison with McCain's. A resume containing so little evidence of leadership and accomplishment leaves in question Obama's ability to handle the most responsible and difficult job in the world, especially at a time when the...

WBNS TV in Columbus, Ohio is reporting a mysterious powder has been found in a "business sized" envelope in Downtown Columbus. It was delivered to a building and it came from an Ohio doctor. Supposively there was some writing that looked like Arabic writing... I have no more details to report because I'm at work. I just got this from my 14 yr. old daughter.

America was founded in order to destroy Islam? Statements like that give the anti-jihad movement a wingnut patina that, of course, ABC is happy to perpetuate in this anti-McCain hit piece, which breezes by the fact that his campaign has strongly disavowed these statements. But when McCain's campaign strongly disavows these statements, is he disavowing them all -- including the manifestly true statement that some Muslims quite obviously intend to conquer and Islamize the world? Is McCain completely unaware of the 1991 Muslim Brotherhood document, An Explanatory Memorandum on the General Strategic Goal for the Brotherhood in North America," in...

The attack on the mailman was prefaced with a request to bum a cigarette. Carrier Greg Nelson later decided that the question thrown at him by a group of boys as he delivered mail Thursday on the East Side likely was an attempt to size him up. Within minutes, the youths chased, assaulted and robbed Nelson in what the U.S. Postal Service said is only the third such attack on a mail carrier in Columbus in the past 30 years. "They didn't see me as a mailman, they saw me as an opportunity," said Nelson, 45, who has delivered mail...

FBI officials have been asked to investigate an attack last week on attendees of a mosque in Columbus, Ohio, to determine if it was a hate crime. An attorney with Ohio's Council on American-Islamic Relations asked the FBI to look into the incident at the Masjid AsSahaaba mosque to determine what motivated several men to throw rocks at people leaving the mosque, the Columbus (Ohio) Dispatch said Wednesday. An initial report from Columbus police identified Friday's incident as a "biased attack on Muslim men leaving the mosque after prayer during the Ramadan season." Yet the mosque's imam, Abdiiaziz Abdi, opposed...

Gun-control agitators were overjoyed when the City Council in Columbus, Ohio, unanimously passed an ordinance this month banning ownership of semi-automatic firearms. Councilmen said the ordinance will reduce gun violence, but the ban is much more likely to enable violent crime. Semi-automatic firearms are hardly the public-safety threat they're made out to be. They are used in a tiny fraction of crimes and always by criminals who don't obey gun laws. As always, taking weapons out of the hands of law-abiding citizens will make them more vulnerable to gun-toting criminals. Moreover, the assault-weapons ban passed by Congress in 1994 never...

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- The National Rifle Association announced Monday that it would not hold its 2007 national convention in Columbus as planned. The announcement came one week after City Council passed an assault weapons ban, NBC 4's Kyle Anderson reported.

He said holding the convention in Columbus would severely restrict the exhibit. NRA officials said the group would return once the state legislature enacts a pre-emption that would overturn...

Ban Could Cost City Convention The recently-enacted assault weapons ban in the city of Columbus might wind up costing the capital city the 2007 National Rifle Association convention. City leaders were holding their breath Friday night, wondering if one of the biggest conventions planned to hit Columbus will cancel. The NRA announced in May that it chose Columbus over two other cities for its 2007 convention. But now the organization is planning another announcement scheduled for Monday that could change its plans. On Friday, the NRA would neither confirm nor deny that it plans to leave Columbus. There is speculation...

Columbus plan likely would face court test The Columbus City Council will try to pass an assault-weapons ban by the end of July that officials think can withstand legal challenges that shot down two earlier proposals. And though the National Rifle Association said such a ban could force the organization to consider moving its national convention out of Columbus in 2007, the proposal’s sponsor said the ban would be in the city’s best interest. "They’re not going to dictate the policies of this city," said Columbus City Councilman Michael C. Mentel, who sponsored the legislation. He expects the council’s full...

Bush Rejects Bin Laden Tape, Hits Kerry Fri Oct 29, 2004 08:28 PM ET By Steve Holland COLUMBUS, Ohio (Reuters) - President Bush vowed on Friday the United States will not be intimidated by a pre-election warning from Osama Bin Laden and called Democrat John Kerry "shameful" for accusing him of bungling the search for the al Qaeda leader. The bin Laden tape eerily offered a flashback to the Sept. 11 events that changed Bush's presidency on a day he was recalling the emotions of the moment. It also served to remind Americans that the man Bush once wanted "dead...

I was one of the fortunate ones to attend the President's campaign event in Columbus today. Pres. Bush was outstanding; he was on stage for 90 minutes. The first part of his presentation included many of the campaign things he has previously said. The President obviously received the best response when he spoke of things related to national security, including 911, the military, first responders, and the action/approach he has taken to protect America. Comments about keeping families strong and the tax cuts were also received well, as was the rest of his speech. The second part was when he...

COLUMBUS, Ohio - A federal magistrate on Wednesday ordered a man charged with plotting to blow up a shopping mall to be transferred to a federal psychiatric facility to determine if he is mentally competent. The evidence Magistrate Mark Abel used to determine why Nuradin Abdi should be sent to the facility was not disclosed publicly.
