Iran has already calculated their response and they realize their only option is a massive attack. Iran is sitting on a stockpile of Exorcet, Sunburn 22 and SS-NX-26 Yakhonts missiles. The Fifth Fleet sits at Qatar and it is within range of the Sunburn-22 and Yakhonts. Iran is said to have commercial freighters equipped with Exocets that will be in port at the time. Once Israel hits the US carrier ( similar to USS Liberty ) then Iran will have no choice but to defend itself

[Now this was a fake terror cell. So how can they claim to be the targets of it?]
The Jewish community in north London is thought to have been the target of a an attempt by a group of Algerian terrorists, trained in al-Qaida camps in Afghanistan, to launch a poison campaign, The Independent reported on Thursday.
The plot was uncovered on January 2003, when a police raid on a north London apartment netted what was described as a "poison factory".

Remarkably, after 5 months, WHO has not been able to prove or refute the data at GenBank. Moreover, they have elected to stop trying. Thus, if the data is correct, the virus is circulating in pigs and there is no explanation on how the virus moved from a lab to many pigs on many pig farms in Korea. If the data is incorrect, then how the data was generated will remain unknown, and there will be no full data set on the H9N2 genes. WHO has indicated that they will continue to look for the H9N2, but consider the WSN/33 sequences to be due to lab error.
In view of the consequences of WSN/33 circulating in humans, it would seem that WHO should conduct its future efforts with more urgency, rather than treating important research as a curiosity.

Stocks plunged to new lows for the year today as investors bailed out of shares of General Motors Corp., the crippled king of the car business.
GM stock dropped to its lowest level in a decade after company executives pleaded with union leaders for help in controlling health care costs. Suspicions grew that GM may have used questionable accounting to boost its earnings and Wall Street anticipated that GM's credit rating may soon be cut to junk bond status. GM stock lost almost 6 percent, falling $1.67 a share to $26.66.

Justice Plus charged that peacekeepers intentionally chose a busy market day to stage a March 1 assault, ensuring civilians were caught in hours-long crossfire between heavily armed militia and several hundred peacekeepers, the Bunia-based rights group said.
The raid killed up to 60 fighters, the United Nations has said.
Justice Plus said "the testimonies collected on the spot mention at least 60 persons killed, including several civilians, and many were injured."
It also charged that the raid near Loga, 20 miles north of Bunia, was in retaliation for a militia attack a week earlier in which nine Bangladeshi peacekeepers were slaughtered and their bodies mutilated.
The United Nations said the raid was not planned in revenge.

[How convenient for the government. Support those troops.]
Amid the chaos of war, Sgt. Roberto Orozco and about 35 other members of the Florida National Guard sent to Iraq relied on what they knew for certain: their military training, the love of their families and their government jobs back home.
Then one day in the combat zone, the men got a letter. When they returned home, the letter read, their jobs as full-time members of the Guard assigned to a federal drug interdiction program would be gone.
"We got shafted," said Orozco, 43, a Miami father of three. "We come home from war, and this is what we get."
Now, Orozco and several other Florida National Guard soldiers out of work since the death of Operation Guardian six months ago are considering drastic steps just to get jobs: Volunteering for active duty and a return to combat.

One Mafakrat al-Islam correspondent visited the positions on the western side of the city that the US forces occupied briefly on Monday but then from which they were driven out later in the day after the Resistance blasted them with rockets. The correspondent found that the trenches were full of drug pills known as “Arteen” and “Makdoon” that Iraqis are used to finding in battlefield areas that the American troops have evacuated.
After failing to take the city by storm, US forces resorted to psychological warfare. They positioned huge loudspeakers on the outskirts of the city where they broadcast so loudly that everyone in the city could hear (and it has been relayed throughout Iraq over their media as well): “If you are brave, come out and fight us. If you want Paradise come out and fight us face to face and man to man. Don’t be like women, hitting and running, you cowards!

American Evangelical Christian missionary optimistic about Christianization of occupied Iraq after minority representative is appointed “president.’
An evangelical Christian organization based in the United States has expressed its “optimism” regarding prospects for Christianization efforts in Iraq now that a non-Arab has been made “president” of the country.
Todd Nettleton of the Christian missionary organization that calls itself “Voice of the Martyrs USA” was quoted by the website Mission News as saying that the “election” of member of one of the country’ minorities as “president” suggested that the minorities in the country would acquire what he called “more freedom.”
Nettleton said that with US stooge and Kurdish chauvinist Jalal Talibani as so-called president “the time is now to grow churches” in occupied Iraq.

A keen weightlifter died weighing just four stone after contracting Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease from a surgical patch made from infected tissue taken from corpses, an inquest heard yesterday.
The widow of Simon Stratford, 34, told the hearing that, in the six months leading up to his death, her husband was transformed from a fit, fun-loving father of four to an emaciated, dribbling shell barely capable of speech.
Mr Stratford, a furniture remover, contracted the disease in 1987 - 15 years before his death - when he underwent brain surgery at Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambs.

A detainee at a U.S. military prison alleges that U.S. military guards jumped on his head until he had a stroke that paralyzed his face, nearly drowned him in a toilet and later broke several of his fingers, according to a lawsuit filed yesterday in federal court.
The detainee, Mustafa Ait Idr, 34, an Algerian citizen living in Bosnia, has been held at the military prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, for three years on suspicion that he plotted to bomb the U.S. Embassy in Bosnia. The lawsuit, filed by his attorneys in federal court in Boston, alleges that the government has probably videotaped Idr's beatings and demands that it produce any such tapes and all records of alleged torture and interrogation tactics at the detention facility.

Earlier in March, he hosted Iranian President Mohammed Khatami, to whom he expounded on Teheran's right "to develop atomic energy and to continue its research in that area" and voiced his "profound rejection of the imperialist desires of the U.S. government."
At the same time, he has provided oil at cut-rate prices to Cuba, in exchange for the services of thousands of doctors and teachers working without charge in rural areas and urban slums.

If you lie, you get rich. If you tell the truth, you stay poor.
Take a look around and smell the sewage. Do you dare disagree?
Which kind of world do you want? And if you think this one is so great, have you considered where your money has gone?
During the past twenty years, trillions of dollars have been illegally vacuumed out of that magnificent cash cow known as the American economy. The Bush family engineered Savings & Loan fire sale, the Bush family engineered 9/11 deception, the Bush family engineered Iraq war. In each case, and so many others, so much money has simply disappeared into the black hole of subterranean financial shenanigans that it's a wonder America is still afloat (if it actually is as you read this).
I don't want to blame the Bushes for everything; they just happened to have been involved in all the great financial crimes of the 20th century, from Samuel Walker in World War I to Prescott Bush in WW II and on down to the present crop of crooks. And it's important to remember the Clintons, among many others, are members of the Bush crime family. But anyway, even with their billions, the Bushes only work for the people with the real money.

There is a huge propaganda push by the nuclear industry to justify nuclear power as a panacea for the reduction of global-warming gases.
In fact, Leslie Kemeny on these pages two weeks ago (HES, March 30) suggested that courses on nuclear science and engineering be included in tertiary level institutions in Australia.
I agree. But I would suggest that all the relevant facts be taught to students. Mandatory courses in medical schools should embrace the short and long-term biological, genetic and medical dangers associated with the nuclear fuel cycle. Business students should examine the true costs associated with the production of nuclear power. Engineering students should become familiar with the profound problems associated with the storage of long-lived radioactive waste, the human fallibilities that have created the most serious nuclear accidents in history and the ongoing history of near-misses and near-meltdowns in the industry.

[Strange to read one day that polio vaccines might have contaminated people with AIDS, then read the next day that polio might have been cured without vaccines at all.]
Imagine that a deadly virus is sweeping the world, killing and maiming hundreds of thousands of children. Nothing seems able to stop it - until a doctor stands up at the American Medical Association and reports on 60 cases involving severely infected children, all of whom have been cured. Yet his work, subsequently reported in a peer-review journal, is ignored, leaving the virus to wreak havoc for decades.
This isn't a docudrama about some futuristic plague - it's a true story about what happened in June 1949 when polio was at its peak. Dr Frederick Klenner, a clinical researcher from Reidsville, North Carolina, reported that a massive intravenous dose of Vitamin C - up to 20,000mg daily for three days (today's recommended daily allowance is 60mg) - had cured 60 of his patients. The findings were published in a medical journal, yet there was virtually no interest. Apart from a couple of minor trials, no attempt was made to find out if they had any scientific substance.
Relating this curious incident in a new book, Vitamin C, Infectious Diseases & Toxins: Curing the Incurable, Dr Thomas Levy, a US cardiologist, admits to being gripped by a range of emotions when he came across Klenner's work and other studies that replicated it. "To know that polio had been easily cured yet so many people continued to die, or survived to be permanently crippled by it, was difficult to accept."

Which kind of world do you want? And if you think this one is so great, have you considered where your money has gone?
During the past twenty years, trillions of dollars have been illegally vacuumed out of that magnificent cash cow known as the American economy. The Bush family engineered Savings & Loan fire sale, the Bush family engineered 9/11 deception, the Bush family engineered Iraq war. In each case, and so many others, so much money has simply disappeared into the black hole of subterranean financial shenanigans that it's a wonder America is still afloat (if it actually is as you read this).
I don't want to blame the Bushes for everything; they just happened to have been involved in all the great financial crimes of the 20th century, from Samuel Walker in World War I to Prescott Bush in WW II and on down to the present crop of crooks. And it's important to remember the Clintons, among many others, are members of the Bush crime family. But anyway, even with their billions, the Bushes only work for the people with the real money.

There is a huge propaganda push by the nuclear industry to justify nuclear power as a panacea for the reduction of global-warming gases.
In fact, Leslie Kemeny on these pages two weeks ago (HES, March 30) suggested that courses on nuclear science and engineering be included in tertiary level institutions in Australia.
I agree. But I would suggest that all the relevant facts be taught to students. Mandatory courses in medical schools should embrace the short and long-term biological, genetic and medical dangers associated with the nuclear fuel cycle. Business students should examine the true costs associated with the production of nuclear power. Engineering students should become familiar with the profound problems associated with the storage of long-lived radioactive waste, the human fallibilities that have created the most serious nuclear accidents in history and the ongoing history of near-misses and near-meltdowns in the industry.

"All across America, rivers link one town's toilets to the next town's faucets," said Rebecca Wodder, president of AmericanRivers.Org. "And when it rains, sewage pours into those rivers, billions of gallons every year.
"Kids in America should be able to enjoy their neighbourhood creeks and rivers without playmates like salmonella, hepatitis and dysentery." The most threatened river identified was the Susquehanna, which starts in upstate New York, makes its way through Pennsylvania and then enters the Chesapeake Bay, the largest estuary in the US and another severely polluted body of water.

Overseas, however, Coke still has that zip. It still has that trace of cocaine in it. Traveling folks notice that. Recently, Mexico President Vicente Fox, previously head of Coca-Cola for Mexico, Central America, and parts of South America, arranged to ship to the Mexican communities in Chicago and other large U.S. cities, Coke bottled in Mexico. The excuse? Mexicans preferred Coke in containers in Spanish. Bunk. Coke from Mexico like that overseas, reportedly has cocaine in its secret base.

[Strange to read one day that polio vaccines might have contaminated people with AIDS, then read the next day that polio might have been cured without vaccines at all.]
Imagine that a deadly virus is sweeping the world, killing and maiming hundreds of thousands of children. Nothing seems able to stop it - until a doctor stands up at the American Medical Association and reports on 60 cases involving severely infected children, all of whom have been cured. Yet his work, subsequently reported in a peer-review journal, is ignored, leaving the virus to wreak havoc for decades.
This isn't a docudrama about some futuristic plague - it's a true story about what happened in June 1949 when polio was at its peak. Dr Frederick Klenner, a clinical researcher from Reidsville, North Carolina, reported that a massive intravenous dose of Vitamin C - up to 20,000mg daily for three days (today's recommended daily allowance is 60mg) - had cured 60 of his patients. The findings were published in a medical journal, yet there was virtually no interest. Apart from a couple of minor trials, no attempt was made to find out if they had any scientific substance.
Relating this curious incident in a new book, Vitamin C, Infectious Diseases & Toxins: Curing the Incurable, Dr Thomas Levy, a US cardiologist, admits to being gripped by a range of emotions when he came across Klenner's work and other studies that replicated it. "To know that polio had been easily cured yet so many people continued to die, or survived to be permanently crippled by it, was difficult to accept."
