While the United states Armed Forces (private mercenaries) are in Afghanistan, Djibouti, Iraq, the Philippines and west Africa defending “all freedom-loving people everywhere in the world,” Joliet, illinois statute enforcement officers (acting under-color-of-law) arrest Kevin Fox, for the drowning murder of his three year-old daughter, after bullying him into making a confession, during a 14 hour interrogation.

       Postscript: Eight months later, State’s Attorney James Glasgow, of Will County, illinois, dropped all charges against Fox, after a DNA test ruled him out as a suspect.  The “rush-to-judgment” was pursued by Glasgow’s predecessor, Jeff Tomczak, who running for re-election, used the Fox case, and his quest for the death penalty as a campaign issue.
