House Ethics Office Investigating Sexual Harassment Claims Against Alcee Hastings

 

By National Journal Staff

Updated: June 21, 2011 | 10:26 p.m.

June 21, 2011 | 10:03 p.m.

 

The House's independent ethics office is looking into sexual-harassment claims leveled months ago against Rep. Alcee Hastings, D-Fla., the Wall Street Journal is reporting.

 

Citing sources familiar with the inquiry, the investigation, which began at least a month ago, is being conducted by the independent Office of Congressional Ethics and not the House Ethics Committee.

 

A lawsuit, filed against Hastings on March 7 by the conservative group Judicial Watch on behalf of Helsinki Commission staffer Winsome Packer, alleged that the congressman sexually harassed Packer over the course of more than two years and threatened retaliation if she tried to report it.

Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton told the Journal that his organization had been contacted by investigators and confirmed that Packer is cooperating with OCE.

Rally in support of Syrian president packs Dearborn hall--Detroit FreePress.

 

In a loud and lively rally, more than 500 Syrians and Lebanese packed a Dearborn hall tonight in support of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, whose government has led a violent crackdown on protesters in recent weeks.

 

"With our blood, with our souls, we will sacrifice for you, Bashar," the crowd chanted several times in Arabic during the nearly three-hour rally.

 

But the event -- which featured a talk by Syrian Ambassador to the US Imad Moustapha -- drew sharp criticism from other Syrians in metro Detroit who say that Assad is a dictator who has brutally repressed peaceful demonstrators. And they questioned why such a rally was held at a time when there is mounting criticism of the Syrian government for its actions.

I wish this could be fixed so it would open up to where we were the last time we checked in at the Coffee Shop instead of having to scroll down, but I guess since it is now part of N&O that isn't possible, right?
