FOX News Polls - Poll: Steady Support for Action Against Iraq A majority of the public continues to support the United States taking military action to disarm Iraq and remove Saddam Hussein, and there is evidence of growing impatience for the action. A FOX News poll conducted this week finds 71 percent of Americans support using U.S. forces to disarm Iraqi President Saddam Hussein and 20 percent oppose. Support has been at about the same level for the last eight weeks. This leads to a growing number of Americans who agree, “it’s time to get it over with in Iraq.” Additional delays in military action could reflect negatively on President Bush. Among those who support an invasion, more than half say a delay would make them feel less favorable toward President Bush. "The public continues to trust the case that the president has made on Iraq," comments Opinion Dynamics President John Gorman. The U.N. Much fanfare was given this week to renaming items using the word French. Amen! Polling was conducted by telephone March 11-12, 2003 in the evenings. 8.

"Baby Hope" Case: Experts say time, rewards and publicity help solve cold cases such as NYC girl's murder - Crimesider New York City police have identified the mother of "Baby Hope" -- whose body was found 22 years ago in a cooler on the side of a highway -- a source tells CBS New York City station WCBS. Norah O'Donnell reports. (CBS) - It might seem like a near-miracle that 22 years after the decomposing body of a child was found inside a cooler in Manhattan police have now identified the mother of the girl known as "Baby Hope." But experts tell CBS News' Crimesider that the combination of time, renewed publicity, investigative determination, technology and a reward is precisely how many cold cases heat up. According to DNA Info, a New York local news site, over the summer police began hanging posters in the Washington Heights neighborhood where the girl's body was found in 1991, announcing a $12,000 reward for information on "Baby Hope." Those posters, apparently, bore fruit. That fear, experts say, often keeps witnesses from coming forward when a crime occurs - but can dissipate over time.
LA Man Cleared of Murder After 34 Years in Prison <br/><a href=" US News</a> | <a href=" Business News</a> Copy A Los Angeles man who spent the last 34 years in jail for murder has finally walked free after the sisters of the case's sole witness said their sibling lied in court. Kash Delano Register, 53, emerged from Twin Towers downtown jail on Friday afternoon, smiling and clasping his mother's hand. "I'm just in a numb feeling right now," Register told reporters outside the jail. Register has always maintained he did not kill Jack Sasson, 78, in the carport of Sasson's West Los Angeles home in April 1979. Register was finally exculpated on Thursday after Superior Court Judge Katherine Mader ruled that prosecutors tried to hide evidence that could have proven Register's innocence and used false witness testimony. Last month when Anderson was asked in court to confirm if Register was the shooter, she replied: "It may or may not have been that person."
Weekly Standard: Against Rendition Question: Mr. President, under the law, how would you justify the practice of renditioning, where U.S. agents . . . [send] terror suspects abroad, taking them to a third country for interrogation? . . . Answer: . . . SO SPOKE PRESIDENT Bush at a press conference on April 28, 2005. Though the Central Intelligence Agency doesn't comment officially on the policy, it is one the Bush administration inherited from its predecessor, which used it principally against Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda. A byproduct of Langley's decades-old inability to recruit or secrete agents inside many Middle Eastern organizations, the increasing use of friendly Arab liaison services is actually part of a global pattern, where liaison work has gradually taken priority over "unilateral" (CIA-only) clandestine operations. The moral issues surrounding rendition are what has caught the attention of the press and both Democratic and Republican members of Congress.

Pool,AP Photo/John Minchillo NEW YORK The announcement of an arrest in one of New York City's most notorious cold cases was especially relieving for two hardened investigators, who for 22 years had been working to identify the girl they nicknamed Baby Hope after discovering her body stuffed in a picnic cooler along a highway. Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Melissa Mourges, the original prosecutor in the 1991 case and now chief of the cold case unit, told a Manhattan judge that Conrado Juarez, 52, was charged with felony murder late Saturday. The charge came shortly after police announced the Bronx man was a relative of the tiny victim, 4-year-old Anjelica Castillo. "You know the expression I'm on cloud 9? For more than two decades, the girl's name, age and circumstances of death were unknown.

Over the years studies have shown that juices we should all aspire to drink are low-sugar varieties and those with large amounts of green chlorophyll. We are also interested in the amount of liquid that everyone consumes each day. We usually limit the endless scope of judicable foods, by constantly drinking only the most familiar ones.
