Supreme Court halts Gilmore execution stay processed

Vatican weighs beatification of Queen Isabella of Spain
Vatican historians have completed research on possible beatification of Queen Isabella, founder of modern Spain. Commission of historians will study documents in Valladolid before deciding whether to authorize official beatification proceedings, a process that could take years. Isabella financed Columbus and unified Spain with Ferdinand while establishing the Inquisition. Some observers view her as pious yet authoritarian, with debate over her imperial aims. Columbus beatification also discussed but not pursued. John Kurlich of Fremont elected to Alameda County Pharmaceutical Association board.

Portuguese Atrocities Report Exposes Detentions Abuse
A 144 page military commission report says hundreds of Portuguese were arbitrarily arrested last year and subjected to cruel inhuman and degrading treatment by radical soldiers and civilians. It cites systemic ill treatment to humiliate and harm prisoners and includes a case of a marine who was tortured and forced to witness his wife sexually violated. President Eanes called the findings shocking and urged identification and discharge of those responsible.
