Monday, September 18, 2006- The Michigan Daily - 7A FOOTBALL Continued from page 1A ting Manningham in stride. The sophomore cradled the ball and sprinted the rest of the way for a 69-yard touchdown. The scenario would repeat itself twice over the next 16 minutes, with Manningham smoking man- coverage for virtually identical 29- yard and 20-yard touchdowns in the corner of Notre Dame's slash- marked end zone. By late in the second quarter, Manningham had amassed 111 yards receiving on three touchdown grabs, leading the Wolverines to a commanding 34-7 lead. "Mario was excellent," said Henne, who completed 13-of-22 pass attempts for 220 yards and three touchdowns. "We practiced deep balls all spring and summer with him and one-on-one routes. And he showed his talent and speed today." The Wolverines' stellar defense made sure that advantage would stick. Weis's offense - led by preseason Heisman hopeful Brady Quinn - came into the game with the national hype machine singing its praises. But Michigan's defense had an answer for every wrinkle Weis threw at it. Notre Dame's running game never got off the ground, and the Fighting Irish finished with just four yards rushing on 17 carries. GOOGLE Continued from page 1A palities for properties on which to build the permanent office, which is expected to cost between $20 million and $50 million. But Mayor John Hieftje said Friday he wasn't worried about not hearing from Google. "I have the phone number of the gentleman at Google who's in charge of the new building, and I can call him anytime I want," Hieftjesaid. "Thepeople atGoogle are going through their processes, and we'll have to let them." Google spokesman Michael Mayzel said the City Council has no reason to worry. "We've always had interest in Ann Arbor - and that inter- est didn't wane," Mayzel said. "We're very excited, but we don't like to go to press with no news, so that's why we were silent for Meanwhile, Michigan's defense may have dealt an irreparable blow to Quinn's Heisman dreams. With the Wolverine front four getting in his face on nearly every pass play and the secondary blanket- ing Notre Dame's receivers, Quinn never found his rhythm. He com- pleted 24 of 48 passes and threw three touchdowns, but tossed three interceptions for the first time since the Notre Dame-Michigan game two years ago. Senior linebacker Prescott Burgess, in particular, had a field day with Quinn, pick- ing up the first two interceptions of his career and returning one for a touchdown. "If you let (Quinn) sit back there in the pocket, he'll pick you apart," Burgess said. "We just thought that we had to come out here and put pressure on him, and I thought we did that and we got the job done." To so much as dent Michigan's defense, Notre Dame needed some of its famous luck of the Irish. Down 40-14 early in the fourth quarter, Notre Dame took advan- tage of consecutive pass interfer- ence whistles against Michigan to score and cut the Wolverines' lead to 19. But the Wolverines' defense shrugged off the controversial touchdown and went back to work. On Notre Dame's next drive, Mich- igan cornerback Leon Hall literally took matters into his own hands. The senior jumped Notre Dame receiver Jeff Samardzija's route, dove and picked off the ball, effec- tively ending any hope of a miracle comeback. "I don't think anybody thought (the defense was) going to play the way we played, at all" linebacker Shawn Crable said. "I think (we were) the only people who thought we were going to play the way we played." The Wolverines' emphatic victo- ry puts them in recently unexplored territory. The last time Michigan entered the Big Ten season unde- feated was 1999, when the Wolver- ines finished 10-2, concluding the season with an Orange Bowl vic- tory over Alabama. But this year Michigan comes into the conference schedule riding even higher. After losing 17-10 to Notre Dame in the Big House last year as the third-ranked team in the nation, the Wolverines flipped the script on the Fighting Irish in a monumental way. "I think (we won this way) because we were under the radar," said Hart, who ran for 124 yards on 31 carries. "We knew they were coming here No. 2 in the country, Heisman candidates, expecting to go to the national championship. ... So we knew we had to come out here and prove ourselves, and that's what made us play a lot harder. Whereas last year they were hunt- ing us, we were hunting them this time." Washtenaw Country MCRI chair Ryan Fantuzzi at yesterday's afternoon's Democratic political rally on the Diag bearing large signs that bore only his own face. Fantuzzi did not seem to be protesting anything in particular, only repeating the word "No." a while. This is the news we wanted to announce, and we look forward to a lot more going forward." Google is accustomed to working with the University as a result of "Google Print," an ongoing digitization project of several libraries. By 2010, Google hopes to copy all 7 million volumes in the University's libraries and make them searchable online. Larry Page, Google's co- founder and president for prod- ucts, is also a University alum. He has tried to bring Google to Ann Arbor for years, University President Mary Sue Coleman told The Michigan Daily in July. The University has been cru- cial in bringing Google and other high-tech industries to Ann Arbor, Hieftje said. "Ann Arbor wouldn't be the same town it is without the Uni- versity of Michigan," he said. "It's very hard to separate the two." The company plans to hire about 1,000 new employees for the new division in the Ann Arbor area over the next five years. . Burnett, a University alum, said Google representatives will participate in the fall recruit- ing process and hold events at the University to attract new employees. "We've had great success hir- ing from the University of Mich- igan in the past," Burnett said. "The University has made itself very available and very accom- modating as we've come to town, and we look forward to working with them." Any University graduates joining AdWords would find an office already full of fellow alumni. There are also several Michigan State University grad- uates, Burnett said. SENATORS Continued from page 1A Arbor. Attendees paid $150 for tickets, and some paid $1,000 to attend a pre-brunch event and to take photos with the senators: Following the fundraiser, the senators spoke at a rally orga- nized by the College Demo- crats. In an attempt to appeal to the students, rally organizers played "Clocks" by Coldplay and "American Baby" by the Dave Matthews Band. Stabenow led her Republi- can challenger, Oakland Coun- ty Sheriff Mike Bouchard, by 19 points in a recent poll, but speakers at the rally warned their faithful constituents not to become complacent. Ann Arbor City Council- woman Wendy Woods (D-Ward 5) encouraged Democratic sup- porters to work for Stabenow's campaign. Six Democratic sen- ators speaking in Ann Arbor might be an example of preach- ing to the choir, she said, but "a choir has to sing." Landrieu stressed Woods's point by recounting her close 2002 re-election in Louisiana, where she said she won her seat by one and a half votes per pre- cinct. Throughout the rally, there were several mentions of the Michigan football team's vic- tory over Notre Dame, earning cheers from the crowd. "We're going to see a com- pletely different kind of blue victory," College Democrats chair Jamie Ruth said. The success of female Dem- ocrats was a dominant theme throughout the event. Amos Williams, the Democratic can- didate for state attorney gen- eral, summed up his experience with women like Stabenow and Gov. Jennifer Granholm: "They don't have hot flashes. They have power surges." Stabenow was the last to speak. She rose to the podium amid the loudest cheers of the day. Supporters waved their blue and green signs with the word "Debbie!" emblazoned on them. "I'm just proud to be a part of that team," Stabenow said, motioning to the senators sit- ting behind her. She went on to echo previous speakers' themes - criticizing President Bush, stopping the war in Iraq, keep- ing jobs in Michigan and fund- ing education. Support for Granholm, who is in the middle of a tense re-elec- tion campaign, was a popular topic for the speakers. Boxer, the California senator, called a series of negative ads against Granholm some of the "nasti- est" she'd ever seen. After the speeches finished, the senators spent a few min- utes shaking hands and talk- ing to students - Sen. Lincoln even received a blue University of Michigan hat - before rally organizers ushered them Away. An event with such big names is bound to attract some detrac- tors. Speckled throughout the crowd were signs varying in political agenda. Some, such as the anti-Israel protesters, were issue-specific. Other signs were more gen- eral. Ann Arbor residents Megan Andrews and Libby Hunter pro- tested Stabenow and the other Democrats, saying they did not accurately represent their par- ty's liberal constituency. There was also a small con- tingency of Republican protest- ers, including Morgan Wilkins, an intern for the College Repub- lican National Committee who recently made news for radical campaign event ideas such as "Catch An Illegal Immigrant Day." The Republican protest- ers brandished signs attacking Stabenow's physical appear- ance and her stance on abortion. Wilkins held a sign that read, "Debbie kills babies." As the rally went on, several of the protesters began to get closer to the front of the stage to get their signs noticed. The supporters tried to block out the unfriendly signs with their own signs, which organizers had handed out earlier. At one point, a student sup- porter and an elderly woman began elbowing each other for a space in the crowd. A party organizer settled the scuffle and the student yielded.

Disclosures of torture and long-term arbitrary detentions have won rebuke from leading voices including the U.N. secretary-general and the U.S. Supreme Court. But the bitterest words come from inside the sys- tem, the size of several major U.S. penitentiaries. "It was hard to believe I'd get out," Baghdad shopkeeper Amjad Qassim al-Aliyawi told The Asso- ciated Press after his release - without charge - last month. "I lived with the Americans for one year and eight months as if I was living in hell." Captured on battlefields, pulled from beds at midnight, grabbed off streets as suspected insurgents, tens of thousands now have passed through U.S. detention, the vast majority in Iraq. Many say they were often interrogated around the clock, then released months or years later without apology, compensation or any word on why they were taken. Defenders of the system say it's an unfortunate necessity in the battles to pacify Iraq and Afghan- istan, and to keep suspected ter- rorists out of action. Every U.S. detainee in Iraq "is detained because he poses a secu- rity threat to the government of Iraq, the people of Iraq or coali- tion forces," said U.S. Army Lt. Col. Keir-Kevin Curry, a spokes- man for U.S.-led military detainee operations in Iraq. But dozens of ex-detainees, gov- ernment ministers and lawmakers, human rights activists, lawyers and scholars in Iraq, Afghanistan and the United States interviewed by The Associated Press said the detention system often is unjust and hurts the war on terror by inflaming anti-Americanism in Iraq and elsewhere. Reports of extreme physical and mental abuse, symbolized by the notorious Abu Ghraib prison photos of 2004, have abated as the Pentagon has rejected torture-like treatment of the inmates. Most recently, on Sept. 6, the Pentagon issued a new interrogation manual banning forced nakedness, hood- ing, stress positions and other abu- sive techniques. The same day, President Bush said the CIA's secret outposts in the prison network had been emp- tied. Whatever the progress, small or significant, grim realities persist. Human rights groups count dozens of detainee deaths for which no one has been punished or that were never explained. The secret prisons - unknown in number and location - remain available for future detainees. The new manual banning torture doesn't cover CIA interrogators. And thousands of people still lan- guish in a limbo, deprived of one of common law's oldest rights, habeas corpus, the right to know why you are imprisoned. "If you, God forbid, are an innocent Afghan who gets sold down the river by some warlord rival, you can end up at (Bagram prison, Afghanistan) and you have absolutely no way of clearing your name," said John Sifton of Human Rights Watch in New York. The U.S. government has con- tended it can hold detainees until the "war on terror" ends - as it determines. "When we get up to 'forever,' I think it will be tested" in court, said retired admiral John D. Hutson, former top lawyer for the U.S. Navy. In Iraq, the Army oversees about 13,000 prisoners at Camp Cropper near Baghdad airport, Camp Bucca in the southern des- ert, and Fort Suse in the Kurdish north. Neither prisoners of war nor criminal defendants, they are just "security detainees" held "for imperative reasons of security," said command spokesman Curry, using language from an annex to a U.N. Security Council resolu- tion authorizing the U.S. presence here. Others say there's no need to hold these thousands outside of the rules for prisoners of war established by the Geneva Con- ventions. U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan declared last March that the extent of arbitrary detention here is "not consistent with pro- visions of international law gov- erning internment on imperative reasons of security." Meanwhile, officials of Nouri al-Maliki's 4-month-old Iraqi government say the U.S. detention system violates Iraq's national rights. At the Justice Ministry, Deputy Minister Busho Ibrahim told the AP it has been "a daily request" that the detainees be brought under Iraqi authority. The cases of U.S.-detained Iraqis are reviewed by a com- mittee of U.S. military and Iraqi government officials. The panel recommends criminal charges against some, release for others. Almost 18,700 have been released since June 2004, the U.S. com- mand says, not including many more who were held and then freed by local military units and never shipped to major prisons. Some who were released, no longer considered a threat, later joined or rejoined the insurgency. The review process is too slow, say U.N. officials. Until they are released, often families don't know where their men are - the prisoners are almost always men - or even whether they're in American hands.
