  1. London Terrorism Scare Reignites Ethnic Profiling Debate
  2. ACLU: Prisoners at Orleans Parish Prison Left Behind During Hurricane Katrina
  3. Cybercrime Treaty May Endanger Internet Free Speech
  4. Study: Black Survivors of Hurricane Katrina Subjected to Housing Discrimination
  5. ACLU Challenges Reauthorized PATRIOT Act in Court
  6. North Carolina Establishes Innocence Inquiry Commission

  8. Blacklisted Pilot Exonerated
  9. Original Plaintiff Seeks to Overturn Landmark Abortion Case
  10. Black Jack Anti-Cohabitation Law to Be Challenged in Court
And remember: Clicking on the "Top 10 Headlines" feature in the upper left hand corner (under "Essentials") will always give you the latest top 10.
