[Times of India] ISLAMABAD: Pakistan's leading Geo TV network on Tuesday apologized to the country's armed forces for accusing ISI of being involved in an attack on journalist Hamid Mir in Karachi last month.
Notice, this was not a retraction.

#2 I am writing to share my dismay and disgust at the recent actions and statements made by one of your local judges, the Honorable Margaret Noe. It is my understanding that she is not familiar with the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act. The link to the text of the federal law (in PDF form directly from the U.S. Department of Justice website) can be found at http://www.justice.gov/crt/spec_topics/military/scratext.pdf

#3 If you refer to Section 512(a), you will find this law is applicable to each of the States, including the political subdivisions thereof. In Section 522, you will see that the law specifically includes child custody proceedings. In addition, the law MANDATES that Judge Noe shall, upon application by the servicemember, stay the action for a period of not less than 90 days if the conditions in paragraph (2) or the section are met (which have been met, as required). Perhaps she was not aware that the law now includes the language including any child custody proceeding, since this language was added by P.L. 110-181, and was made effective on January 28, 2008.

#4 The fact that she would blatantly violate Federal law is appalling. Even worse, she would do so in a manner that would violate the rights of a Servicemember and stripping a young child from the only home she has truly ever known, after a judge granted full custody to the father four years ago. Petty Officer Hindes is not shirking his responsibility as a parent due to his military service. Hundreds of thousands of brave men and women are at this very moment enduring the great challenge of being separated from their families and loved ones, while serving our great country and protecting the very freedoms and system this judge vowed to uphold.

#6 Frank, it's being explained to the Judge that Petty Officer Hindes has one of the keys and that it would be bad form to continue.
