Decades of political and legal changes shaped US Nazi hunt
"They're going after old guys who were low on the totem pole who did about the same thing our soldiers did at Abu Ghraib (military prison in Iraq.) They are at the same level." Hansl, 82, lost his final appeal last year, when the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear his case. Mercer County resident Anton Geiser, also 82, is in a similar situation. The Yugoslavia native came to the United States in 1956, after being approved for a visa in Austria. His visa application lists his wartime activities as having been in the German Army, not the Waffen SS -- in which he served as a concentration camp guard. A federal judge in Pittsburgh last year stripped Geiser of his citizenship. He appealed. "Anton Geiser did not personally persecute anyone based on their race, religion or ethnicity," said his attorney, Jay Reisinger.

FARA sues state over health plan change
A Mandeville-based insurance company has sued the state after being excluded from the Office of Group Benefits health plan for public employees for the coming year. FARA Benefit Services Inc. claims in a lawsuit that the state Office of Group Benefits did not follow state law when changing the health insurance plan. FARA also contends in the lawsuit, filed Thursday, that the consultant hired by the state used flawed methodology when calculating which insurance company offered the best coverage for the public employees, most of them state workers, under the Office of Group Benefits plan. "FARA has raised allegations about whether there was fundamental fairness," said Baton Rouge attorney Ryan Johnson, who represents FARA. "Was the process fair? FARA does not believe that was the case." Group Benefits Chief Executive Officer Tommy Teague said Tuesday he could not comment because he has not seen the suit.
