Scientific wizards find real cloak of invisibility

if only for this quote:

A report in the journal Nature reveals that the new system is far more ambitious, being both self-contained and reducing visibility from all angles. In this sense it would be more like the shields used by the Romulans in the Star Trek episode Balance of Terror which hid their spaceship at the touch of a button.

Judge in Saddam Trial Murdered

Judge Barwez Mohammed Mahmoud and a relative were killed Tuesday in northern Baghdad's Azamyiah district, the official told The Associated Press early Wednesday on condition of anonymity.

Mahmoud's role on the tribunal was unclear, but the law establishing it called for up to 20 investigative judges and up to 20 prosecutors. It also said the tribunal would have one or more trial chambers, each with five judges. The judges have not even been identified in public because of concerns for safety.

The artist, who once put on display the corpse of a pregnant woman, complete with a dissection of her womb, has faced probes over dealing with corpses in several countries where authorities have tried but failed to stop his displays.

The scandal around von Hagen's plans spiced up further when the Polish and German press said his 89-year-old father, Gerhard Liebchen, who represents his son's businesses in Poland, was suspected of carrying out crimes against Poles in World War Two.

2 Bodies Found at Residence of U.S. Judge

A federal judge who was once the target of a failed murder plot by a white supremacist found two bodies in her home when she returned from work, reportedly those of her husband and 89-year-old mother.
Supremacist Matthew Hale was convicted last year of soliciting an undercover FBI informant to kill U.S. District Judge Joan Humphrey Lefkow and is awaiting sentencing.
...
Hale, 33, became notorious in 1999 when a follower, Benjamin Smith, went on a deadly shooting rampage in Illinois and Indiana. Targeting minorities, Smith killed two people, including former Northwestern University basketball coach Ricky Birdsong, and wounded nine others before killing himself as police closed in.
