In this sketch, Canadian Omar Khadr listens to testimony during his trial at the Camp Justice compound of Guantanamo Bay. Eight years after he was taken to Guantanamo as a teenage prisoner, Khadr pleaded guilty to killing a U.S. Army sergeant during a 2002 battle in Afghanistan.

Doctor: Bomber still angryby Ben Fox
Associated Press
GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE, Cuba— Jurors considering a sentence for a former teenage al-Qaida militant got a stark message Thursday from a government-hired psychiatric expert: The last Westerner at Guantanamo is radical, angry and dangerous.
Omar Khadr was an extremist when he was taken to Guantanamo, where he was “marinated in radical jihadism” over eight years in custo-dy and became a leader among pris-oners, said Dr. Michael Welner, a fo-rensic psychiatrist who analyzed the 24-year-old Canadian on behalf of military prosecutors.
“He’s highly dangerous,” Welner told jurors. “He is full of rage.”
Khadr, who was 15 when captured by the U.S. after a fierce firefight in Afghanistan in 2002, pleaded guilty Monday to five war crimes charges as part of a plea deal that spared him from a possible life sentence and calls for sending him back to his homeland after one more year in Guantanamo. The jury cannot impose a sentence greater than the amount set by the agreement, reportedly eight years, but they can issue one that is more lenient.
Welner, who has testified as an expert witness in many high-profile cases in recent years, said he spent more than seven hours interviewing Khadr over the summer, reviewed his
records from the U.S. detention center in Cuba and studied interviews with family members back in Canada who have embraced extremist positions.
His conclusion: Khadr has shown no interest in changing his radical views on Islam and has no real re-morse for throwing a grenade that killed an American soldier and par-tially blinded another during a four-hour firefight in Afghanistan in 2002. The only thing the prisoner seems to regret, Welner said, is his impris-onment and he seems unlikely to change.
“He is very angry about being in custody,” he told the jury of seven mil-itary officers.
The psychiatrist praised Khadr’s intelligence, noting that he had mas-tered several languages and can be “quite charming” under certain cir-cumstances. But faulted the prisoner for not doing more to improve his lim-ited education while at Guantanamo by reading more than “Harry Potter” books.
Khadr was often called on to lead prayer groups and “is the rock star at Gitmo” because of his notoriety, he said.
The testimony was part of a pros-ecution attempt to show that Khadr, despite his guilty plea, has no remorse for his past. Earlier testimony featured U.S. agents who interrogated him at Guantanamo and said he was non-chalant about being part of an al-Qai-da explosive cell and killing an Ameri-can soldier.

Editor,I’d like to take this opportunity to tell fellow
students that as far as the upcoming elections are concerned, please do not get caught up in
the hype. The politicians are only here to give us the il-
lusion that we actually have a choice. We don’t. We have owners who pull the same sorry cha-rade every few years, and nothing changes. True change starts at the individual level.
Start by changing yourself, then your family and then your immediate community. This is the only way that meaningful change will occur.
So what if the president listens to Jay-Z on his iPod and plays basketball? He still represents the corrupt system. Change yourself, and then you will truly begin to see the change that elites fear.
Muhajir RomeroUNM student
Editor,Judging by the reaction to this year’s
UNM football season, I have realized something troubling.
Lobo fans embody the single thing that is wrong with my generation: Generation X and Y are used to instant gratification. The fact that the fans expected a winning season after two years of a new coach who changed the young team’s offensive and defensive schemes is a testament to this. If anybody believed that the Lobos were go-ing to have a winning season, then they are doing some awesome drugs because any hint of common sense says otherwise. My generation refuses to have patience.
If something does not work out immedi-ately, they drop it. If a major requires hard work, they switch. If their marriage is get-ting a little rocky, they get divorced.
Have a bad team? Get a new coach. They are not willing to have patience
and faith that things will get better. This mindset can set an individual, and even a generation, on a downward spiral. I hon-estly don’t think we should fire head coach Mike Locksley because he is showing some improvement. His young team just needs more time, just like the University of Mich-igan has given head coach Rich Rodriguez time to develop his team. Plus, our school does not have the money to work with, es-pecially in a recession.
Now, if Locksley gets in another nega-tive off-the-field situation, that would be grounds for firing him since that would be a fourth conflict, and that’s too many. Whatever happened to patience being a virtue?
It no longer exists in my generation’s arena of minds. Nobody likes when things are rough, but there needs to be more peo-ple who will grin and bear it.
Give Locksley and just about everything else in your life a chance, and give it time to bear the fruit of its potential.
We’re young, and we’ve got time. We don’t need instant results.

The other day, I found out one of my closest friends and oldest co-workers thought I was gay when he first met me.
“I mean, don’t be offended or any-thing,” he said, smoking a Camel.
I smoked a Parliament, wore skinny jeans and a form-fitting shirt.
“You have a feminine air about you,” he said.
Startled, I tracked down everyone I could in the office to see how this stereo-type originated. One of my editors told me, “It’s a running joke in the office,” and that many people in the office assumed such: the former designer, the tech guy, the freelancers and the janitor who only comes by once a week to push dirt and empty trashcans.
After the sting of the initial discov-ery wore off, I was considerably less sur-prised. I have been hit on by a number of gay men. My closest friends tease me about my “feminine slouch,” a particular way I stand with one hip pushed out and my hand resting on my hip.
I suppose I was asking for it by showing interest in the arts, as one co-worker said, dressing nicely in the words of another and otherwise showing an uncontrollable air of femininity.
The more I thought, the more I realized that I had done the same thing to someone else before. He spoke in a high-pitched lisp, dressed nicely and never flirted with girls.
It didn’t seem like he could be anything other than gay, but surprise, he wasn’t! He let everyone know in a public Facebook rant accusing people of insensitivity, ste-reotyping and clubbing baby seals.
We felt bad, naturally, but kind of with-out reason.
There was another kid on campus with similar attributes: He was stylish dresser, had a high-pitched voice and was often in the company of men. He, however, is gay. We assumed that before we knew for sure, and no one seemed to care, not even the guy in question.
I have brown skin so a lot of people as-sume I am Hispanic. Are they wrong? No. Are they wrong for assuming that? No, why should they be? I have the traditional fea-tures associated with Hispanic heritage. My last name is Spanish. At some point, it’s not stereotyping; it’s called paying at-tention to details.
Some people have also told me I look as though I’m from the Middle East. Are they wrong? Yes. Are they wrong for as-suming such? Damn straight! Who cares if I, in the right light and circumstance, do look as though I might be from the Middle East?
No one should be able to make that sort of false assumption about me. Oh wait, that would imply that it’s OK to use ste-reotypes, so long as the stereotype proves to be true, right?
If I can guess that someone is from Canada based on an accent, or someone is from the Middle East based on a turban, then it’s OK as long as I get it right. It is only wrong when your assumed stereo-type is wrong, as well.
And that’s the sort of world I want to live in.
Well, maybe not, but the point is sim-
ple: There’s a double standard with stereotypes.
Get it right, and it’s not a stereotype. Get it wrong, and you are the worst scum on the planet and deserve a year in politi-cal correctness schooling.
Yet, who can honestly say they don’t stereotype every day?
Everyone has the moment when they look at someone else, look at their clothes, face and mannerisms and guess what sort of individual they might be. To claim otherwise is to deny human nature, as if you’ve outgrown an evolutionary mecha-nism designed for survival.
What matters is moving beyond that stereotype, and, more importantly, not being mad that there’s a stereotype in the first place.
Moaning and groaning only stereo-types you further into a category: whiny, little wuss who is incapable of accepting human nature and instead deals with it by demanding the world change to ac-commodate his or her skewed views on humanity.
Yes, do get to know the person behind the stereotype, eventually, but don’t feel bad about it in the meantime.
And take solace in this: My friend went on to tell me later that while he assumed I was gay, he didn’t tell others this was the case until he was sure one way or anoth-er, thankfully saving me a lot of time and frustration.
Follow this model, if you will: Make the assumption, as you will subconsciously anyway, then verify it.
Then you’re home free. Anyway readers, all this seriousness
has got me hankering for some more un-fair and biased city bashing. If you haven’t yet, please check out what angry Oklaho-mans have to say about me and my writ-ing. Maybe someone over there should write a clearly satirical piece about Al-buquerque, and then we can flame their comment boards.

October 1, 2010WISE LATINAS* OPEN LETTER OF SUPPORT FOR DIANE DENISH
Queridas Amigas, Colegas, Familia: We are a group of Hispanic Women - mothers, grandmothers, businesswomen, community leaders - who are writing to tell you why we support Diane Denish and believe she is the better candidate for our Hispanic community and all New Mexicans. We believe in preserving our traditions, promoting our professions, educating our children and adults alike, and protecting our civil rights. We have dedicated ourselves to our community. We decided to frame this letter by invoking the “Wise Latina” mantle because we think that Justice So-tomayor was right – a person’s experience does make a difference. We are convinced that Diane’s business and policy experience and detailed grasp of the issues are what we need during these tough economic times. Susana Martinez, a criminal prosecutor who remains focused on crime, simply does not have the broad experience needed to lead our State when jobs and education are the main issues.Protecting Traditions: Diane was born and raised in New Mexico. She understands the rich and complex nature of our multi-cultural state. Susana, born and raised in Texas, has taken stands that indicate shedoesn’t share our values of diversity and reliance on each other. Diane has received numerous awards andengagements from Hispanic organizations for her work, and she is featured in the book Mujeres Valerosasfor her leadership with our community.Economy: Hispanics are both small business owners and employees who have been hit hard by the down-turn. Diane has extensive small business experience and has “walked the walk” to make payroll. As Lt. Gov-ernor, she helped create micro-lending and recruit businesses and jobs to the State. Her platform is detailed and focused on job creation, from tax credits of $2,500 for each job created, to incentives for business loans, to scholarships for students to earn degrees in fields where the jobs are.Education: Hispanics and Diane know that education is what will lift New Mexicans out of poverty. As Lt. Governor, she is nationally known as a champion of early childhood education and helped secure funding for pre-kindergarten. She refused to cut funding for schools. Her platform focuses on improving the dropout rate, pushing excellence in education reform, creating scholarships and bringing the stakeholders to the table to generate ideas and find solutions NOW.Immigration as an Excuse for Discrimination. Susana Martinez supported the Arizona Anti-Immigrant law which encourages racial profiling and discrimination against all Hispanics – not just undocumented im-migrants. The law has been declared unconstitutional. Diane took a principled stand against the law consis-tent with New Mexico’s values of diversity. Whatever each of us may feel about federal immigration policy, we must reject all attempts to profile and discriminate against our community for political ends.Democracy and Incredibly Large Campaign Contributions. Dime con quien andas, y te diré quien eres. Susana’s campaign is funded primarily by Texas and out-of-state millionaires and corporate interests with checks as large as $400,000. Some of these donors are famous for dishonest practices or extreme politics. The size of these contributions undermines democracy and indicates who Susana Martinez, if elected, would answer to. Diane, on the other hand, is relying on much smaller contributions from New Mexicans. We believe that our Governorship should be supported by, and responsive to, the people who live here.Building Community. One final and important point: Diane brings people and communities together, rather than polarizing us. The issues our State faces are complex and difficult and we need to work together to solve them.For these reasons, and many more, Wise Latinas support Diane Denish.
*We are not a PAC or organization, but independent minded women voicing our opinions. If you would like to join this letter, please send an email with your name to [email protected]. Please send this letter on to all your friends, Latinas or not, and use it as you see best to educate our community about who Wise Latinas think should be our next Governor.

Clinton administration and high-lights problems with the Archives’ computer access controls, clearance requirements for employees and physical security. A third report not yet released is expected to detail 213 recommendations to improve Ar-chives’ security, the GAO said.
The risks highlighted by the GAO could affect volumes of mundane legal memos but also key pieces of history.
Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa re-quested the audits last year, alarmed at the “apparent lack of effective
security.” He noted the loss of the Wright Brothers’ patent, the Clinton administration computer data with classified information and lost maps from World War II.
“This agency is the country’s re-cord keeper,” Grassley said in a state-ment Tuesday. “It’s responsible for protecting classified materials and for preserving our most important historical documents. ... The agency needs to commit to fixing its prob-lems and follow through.”
The Archives acting alone “cannot solve the persistent problems facing federal records management,” the re-port said, because each agency is re-sponsible for preserving documents.
But the Archives can improve its oversight, the GAO wrote, by press-ing for improvement in government-wide records management.
Each agency is supposed to either seek permission to destroy records or recommend preservation at the Archives. An archivist reviews agen-cy submissions, which must include clear descriptions of the records in-volved, in a four-step process. Ar-chivists often review the records
themselves. Proposals to dispose of records must be published in the Federal Register and undergo a 30-day comment period.
The entire process can take a year, but some agencies never begin the process, leaving their records at risk of being lost in the shuffle. As the Ar-chives works to get more agencies to comply, it may not be able to handle the workload, the GAO warned.
The National Archives and Re-cords Administration has 44 facilities in 20 states, including 13 presidential libraries, funded by about $470 mil-
lion this year from Congress.Archives Inspector General Paul
Brachfeld said Tuesday that the re-ports build from his investigations in recent years.
The worst threat to historical doc-uments is theft, he said.
“We continue to be victimized by people that understand there’s mon-ey to be had by trading our docu-ments,” Brachfeld said. “They’re tak-ing from every American citizen.”
Meanwhile, some documents face the threat of deterioration even though they’re already at the Ar-chives. Figures from 2009 show 65 percent of its holdings need preser-vation steps. In some cases, a docu-ment’s condition already is so poor, it can’t be read — a backlog amounting to more than 2 million cubic feet of records.
Brachfeld said new leaders at the Archives understand the problems and are making changes.
The GAO recommends the Ar-chives boost its inspections of agen-cies, improve internal management, streamline hiring and enhance security.
““We continue to be victimized by people that understand there’s money to be had by trading
our documents. They’re taking from every American citizen.”

Sure, the UNM women’s soc-cer team is well-aware of the sig-ni� cance of Saturday’s game, but there’s no sense in stressing about it.
� e Lobos, currently 11-1-4, tied Wyoming 1-1 tie Sunday in Lara-mie, Wyo., extending their unde-feated streak to nine games. � ey travel to face TCU Saturday.
For now, UNM has secured a share of the Mountain West Con-ference regular-season title. As it stands, the Lobos can clinch the MWC title outright with a win/tie against TCU or a BYU tie or Utah loss.
Assistant coach Jorge Vela, who � lled in for head coach Kit Vela at Tuesday’s media luncheon, said the team’s chemistry isn’t a com-plicated formula.
“� is is a very, very simple team, but they are a proud team,” he said.
Proud because the Lobos are ranked in national polls.
UNM is No. 23 in Soccer Amer-ica’s poll, while it’s No. 24 in Soc-cer Times and No. 27 in the NCAA poll.
After beating BYU on Oct. 16, the Lobos’ Ratings Percentage In-dex (RPI) soared to 19, the team’s highest RPI ranking.
Vela said the team built on last year’s successful campaign.
“� at is what’s funny about sports,” he said. “I felt that we had an amazing year last year with some great soccer. � at is what has allowed us to do what we have done this year. � e nice thing is that we know we’re good, (the media) has seen us play and knows (we) are good. But the nice thing is now the country knows that we’re a good team.”
Late in the year, defense re-mains a point of emphasis for the Lobos, and they credit their defen-sive commitment when mention-ing the team’s success. UNM has allowed only � ve goals, one which was scored by a Lobo defender.
� e more important sta-tistic, of course: UNM has 11 shutouts this season. Junior forward Jennifer Williams said the team’s defense is impen-etrable, even during intrasquad scrimmages.
“Our defense is played amaz-ing. � ey have shot down top players and top forwards. We had
our own defender, Roxie (McFar-land) score on us earlier in the sea-son,” Williams said, jokingly chid-ing her teammate. “It’s hard to just get past them in practice.”
� ose rigorous practices helped UNM secure the top seed in the MWC tournament, which starts Nov. 3-6 in San Diego, Calif.
Vela said the Lobos aren’t look-ing past any team, and that applies to the Horned Frogs.
“TCU is a tremendous team,” he said. “You know, they have been a little bit up and down, and it makes them even more dangerous. For our girls, it’s Saturday — that is what’s important to us. After that, we will worry about the rest.”
No more than a week after being reinstated, sophomore run-ning back Demond Dennis was dis-missed from the UNM football team.Head coach Mike Locksley said Tuesday that Dennis had recurring academic issues.
“I am disappointed to announce this,” Locksley said. “Demond Den-nis is no longer going to be a part of our football program. We had some things in place that needed to be met on Demond’s part. It saddens me that he was unable to meet the standards we set. We’ll continue to support Demond academically to (have him) hopefully � nish up aca-demically strong here.”
� rough seven games, Dennis was the Lobos’ leading rusher with 155 yards.
But because of academic prob-lems, Dennis played just one snap against UTEP, and he was suspend-ed for the New Mexico State game Oct. 9. He was temporarily rein-stated Oct. 18.
At his Oct. 19 news conference, Locksley said that Dennis met the team’s academic requirements and would play against San Diego State.
“I’m proud of Demond and the way he’s taken care of the things we require our student-athletes to take care, which is the academic part,” he said. “He’s really come a long way in a short period of time in the two weeks he’s been away.”
Dennis didn’t start against the Aztecs, but he did spot work, car-rying the ball four times for nine yards.
Dennis played in 10 games in 200 and rushed for 427 yards (42.7 per game). He averaged 5.5 yards per carry and tied a team-best three touchdowns.
But school issues have contin-ued to plague the second-year run-ning back, and Locksley said it was unacceptable.
“When you get into this busi-ness, you get into it to develop (young men) academically, athlet-ically and socially,” Locksley said. “Right now, Demond hasn’t met our standards in certain parts of those areas, and we wish him the best.”

Head coach Jeff Nelson sits on the sideline during one of the Lobos’ games at Johnson Center. Nelson will coach his 500th game this weekend against UNLV.
Jeff Nelson just wants to talk about volleyball — nothing more, nothing less.
The fourth-year head volleyball coach is on the cusp of a tremen-dous accomplishment: his 500th college match as a head coach.
But when Sports Information Director Frank Mercogliano re-minded Nelson about that piece of trivia, Nelson tried to dodge the topic with a clever quip.
“So old,” he said. “Can we focus on something else?”
Nelson’s humor is evident in his coaching style, and he has changed Lobo volleyball culture.
Hired in 2008, Nelson led UNM to a 22-7 record his first season. It was the Lobos’ most wins since 1991, and they finished 11-5 in Mountain West Conference, also the most conference wins since 1991.
And last season the Lobos ad-vanced to the NCAA tournament for the first time under Nelson.
“He turned around our pro-gram. He turned around New Mex-ico volleyball,” senior Lisa Meeter said. “To have this accomplished, to be here in New Mexico, I am so proud to be under him, and I know that (the players) meet with him all the time, and he is just a great person.”
Nelson has done more than just coach his players. With Nelson, the Lobos have had more wins and more player postseason hon-ors, not to mention an increase in fan attendance at Johnson Center.
Former Lobo Jeanne Fairchild
was named to the program’s first AVCA All-American since 1992, and Fairchild was the fifth All-American in UNM history.
Under Nelson, nine players re-ceived Mountain West Conference and national academic honors.
“I have been fortunate to hang around, I guess,” Nelson said. “I am just feeling really fortunate to still be doing what I love to do.”
There’s no question that the feeling is mutual for Nelson’s players.
Senior Jade Michaelsen said she wouldn’t be the player she is today without Nelson’s guidance.
“I think, personally for me, he is a great mentor,” Michael-sen said. “He’s a great setter, and I get to train under him. You like to learn under someone who has done it themselves, and he’s been where we want to be, and that is NCAA tournament, the Final Four, and he has done all that. It’s great to learn under someone who has such passion for the game.”

DAILY LOBOnew mexico
by Ben WalkerAssociated Press
From the Grateful Dead singing the national anthem, to a female public address announcer and seagulls squawking after games. From the smell of fresh garlic fries wafting through the lower sections to the fog hovering just above the outfield, San Francisco’s ballpark by the bay has its share of flavor not seen elsewhere during October baseball.
Now, the Giants have anoth-er World Series to show off all its charm.
“The park definitely has an iden-tity,” said Texas Rangers hitting coach Clint Hurdle, who used to come here regularly while manag-ing the Colorado Rockies. “You pop up in this park foul and make an out and you’re disappointed.”
There’s that larger-than-life Coke bottle slide and humongous mitt above the left-field bleachers. An avocado tree grows behind the center-field wall. And how about all the characters on the field?
All-Star closer Brian Wilson and his thick beard, dyed jet-black. Shaggy-haired ace Tim Lince-cum. Even outfielder Cody Ross, the baldheaded guy who once as-pired to be a rodeo clown. Panda heads are hip here because of Pab-lo Sandoval, nicknamed “Kung Fu Panda.”
Not only does this 11-year-old waterfront ballpark offer aestheti-cally pleasing views from many an-gles, its fans are a far cry from the hard-edged faithful who might be found in the Bronx, Beantown or Philly _ perhaps even in St. Louis.
“Our fans have multiple heroes on this roster,” second-year manag-ing partner Bill Neukom said. “It’s the place, too. We had one-on-one meetings last year and I was get-ting to know the people in the front office. Almost in every single in-stance, we’d say: ‘What do you like best about your job? What do you like least about your job?’ Always one of the things they liked best was it’s a privilege to come to work at this place. There is a physical
sense of place. It’s pretty special.”Neukom, in fact, prefers to jog
outside on the field several times a week as he continues to regain strength from hip replacement sur-gery a couple of years ago.
Journey’s Steve Perry belted out “Don’t Stop Believing” _ one of his own hits _ from the stands several times in October.
For opposing players, there are all kinds of odd angles as well, par-ticularly in right field. There’s even a cartoon car on the left-field wall that adds a couple of feet to the fence.
“It’s definitely quirky,” Texas second baseman Ian Kinsler said. “It has some corners in the outfield. It has that car over in left field. If I hit a ball off that, I might tear that thing down. It’s a beautiful ball-park. It’s great for baseball. It’s a
perfect place for a World Series.”For the lucky Giants fans, a hall-
way encounter with a Hall of Fam-er is a real possibility. Willie Mays, Willie McCovey, Orlando Cepeda. They’re all regulars around here.
“How it’s different from Boston or New York, I can’t tell you that, but I can say this about this city: It’s really fallen in love with this team and these guys are savoring what they’re getting from the fans,” Gi-ants manager Bruce Bochy said.
What a refreshing change AT&T Park is compared to the Giants’ old home of Candlestick Park. It was ice-cold with fog and whip-ping winds _ Joe Torre and Padres manager Bud Black recall all the candy wrappers flying around _ not to mention remote seating ar-rangements and a huge outfield. In 1989, there was an earthquake that
interrupted the A’s-Giants World Series, won in a four-game sweep by Oakland after a 10-day delay.
The Giants got their privately funded new digs _ in a fitting West Coast architectural style _ dur-ing the height of the Bay Area dot-com boom. China Basin was boring before, and now an entire thriv-ing neighborhood has completely risen up in the last decade within a line drive of the Mays statue out front. Baseball is popular enough in San Francisco to be a source of urban renewal.
“All that stuff is here. It’s at the bay,” said Rangers manager Ron Washington, who spent 11 years coaching across the water for the A’s. “I know people have gotten used to seeing the playoffs and World Se-ries on the East Coast. Now it’s on the West Coast, the Southeast, the
Southwest.”There’s a new backdrop beyond
AT&T Park’s right-field arcade these days amid all those kayaks and boats in McCovey Cove.
A couple of political messages, too. A “Free Johannes Mehserle” banner hangs from the main sail of one regular boat, reference to the jailed transit police officer who shot and killed a man on New Year’s Day 2009. Another boat sends a similar tone.
Those who hang out in their ves-sels on McCovey Cove hoping for home run balls often have a long wait. Atlanta’s Rick Ankiel splashed just the second postseason homer into the water during the division series. Home run king Barry Bonds hit the other one on Oct. 10, 2002, in Game 2 of the NL championship series against St. Louis.
