...paper on its website about the mobile labs--allegations that are very similar to charges made by Secretary of State Colin Powell in his U.N. speech on Feb. 5. President Bush pointed to the trucks last week as the best evidence yet that the intelligence wasn't overheated. And en route to Europe, Powell ventured to the back of Air Force One and explained to reporters a bit more about how the U.S. learned of the vans' purpose. "We didn't just make them up one night.

Undaunted, earthlings are launching yet another assault on Mars this month, when no fewer than three spacecraft - two from NASA, one from the European Space Agency (esa) - will take flight.
