| Judge: Deadly Skokie Crash Driver Guilty, Mentally Ill
SKOKIE, Ill. (WBBM) -- The judge ruled Jeanette Sliwinski -- on trial for reckless homicide in the deaths of three men during a failed 2005 suicide attempt -- was guilty but mentally ill. Cook County Judge Garritt E. Howard found Sliwinski, 25, guilty of three counts of reckless homicide and one count of aggravated battery for killing Michael Dahlquist, 39, John Glick, 35, and Douglas Meis, 29, on July 14, 2005, when she rammed into their van in an alleged suicide attempt, according to the Cook County State’s Attorney’s office. But the guilty but mentally ill ruling means Sliwinski will spend some time in a mental hospital before reporting to prison. Sentencing for Sliwinski is set for Nov. 26, state’s attorney’s office spokesman Andy Conklin said.

The Israeli army's repeated abuses against journalists in the occupied territories and the US army's responsibility in the death of several reporters during the war in Iraq constitute unacceptable behaviour by two nations that never stop stressing their commitment to freedom of expression. General deterioration in the Arab world The war in Iraq played a major role in an increased crackdown on the press by the Arab regimes. Concerned about maintaining their image and facing public opinion largely opposed to the war, they stepped up control of the press and increased pressure on journalists, who are forced to use self-censorship. Kuwait (102nd) replaced Lebanon (106th) as the Arab world's leader as regards respect for freedom of expression because of cases of censorship in Lebanon, together with abusive judicial proceedings and an attack on the television station Futur TV.
