...Food and Drug Administration on Thursday released a preliminary report on the safety of meat and milk from cloned animals. Their verdict: that these food products are no different from those derived from conventionally bred animals, and are therefore safe to eat.

The judge is now reviewing evidence and must decide whether military personnel, if they are involved, should face a civilian or armed forces tribunal.
