Ohio Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell (also State Chair for the reelection of George W Bush) has requested a protective order to prevent him from being interviewed as part of an unusual court challenge of the presidential vote.
Blackwell, in a court filing, says he’s not required to be interviewed by lawyers as a high-ranking public official, and accused the voters challenging the results of “frivolous conduct” and abusive and unnecessary requests of elections officials around the state.

‘Torture’ Gulfstream jet an open secret This Gulfstream V turbojet–a plane favored by corporate excecutives–has scoured the world, from Pakistan to Indonesia to Jordan, sometimes being boarded by hooded and handcuffed passengers, the registration-restricted Washington Post reports Monday.
The plane’s owner of record, Premier Executive Transport Services Inc., lists directors and officers who appear to exist only on paper. And each one of those directors and officers has a recently issued Social Security number and an address consisting only of a post office box, according to an extensive search of state, federal and commercial records.
