The
International Atomic Energy Agency report detailing the discovery also faulted Tehran for not cooperating with the U.N. watchdog's attempts to investigate other suspicious aspects of Iran's nuclear program.
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, in a two-hour news conference in Tehran, asserted the world has no choice but to "live with a nuclear Iran," although he conceded his country was "still in the first stages" of its uranium enrichment program.
But, hey, we got Saddam, right?
Bush Administration: No Constitutional Rights for Guantanamo Detainees
The Bush administration says terrorist suspects being held in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, have no constitutional right to challenge their detention in U.S. civilian courts.
In court papers filed Monday, the Justice Department asked an appeals court to dismiss hundreds of cases by detainees at the prison camp.

Fla. Judge Delays Voting Machines Audit
Electronic voting machines in Sarasota County reported 18,382 people _ about one in eight voters _ did not vote for either Republican Vern Buchanan or Democrat Christine Jennings, but made choices in other races. That rate was much higher than other counties in the district.

South Africa's parliament has voted to legalise same-sex weddings - the first African country to approve such unions.
The controversial Civil Union bill was passed by 230 votes to 41.
So, let me get this straight. The country that became infamous for the prejudicial system known as Apartheid, has legalized same-sex civil unions before us? If that does not signify how behind we are, then I do not what will.
Vatican Cardinal Criticizes US Border Fence
A senior Roman Catholic cardinal at the Vatican has criticized a U.S. plan to build an 1,100-kilometer fence along the border with Mexico.
Cardinal Renato Martino called the project "inhumane" Tuesday during a news conference to discuss Pope Benedict's annual message to migrants.
Remember when President Reagan said, "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall." Good times.
