Others who oppose cameras insist that juror privacy is essential to the sanctity of the process. Cameras, they say, will skew the composition of juries by removing people who don't want to deliberate in front of them. And jurors who don't feel articulate or confident may be reluctant to speak out or take an unpopular stand--as Henry Fonda did in the classic movie 12 Angry Men--if they think their neighbors are watching and judging them. Furthermore, recording jury deliberations, opponents say, might encourage litigation and prolong what some feel is the already cumbersome process of appeals...
...Somali opposition leader, she was born just a few weeks after the coup by Mohammed Siad Barre in 1969 and was forced into exile with her family when she was 10.

Administration officials, from the President on down, continued to insist last week that they had "solid" evidence-which they had never made public-that Saddam did too have an extensive armory for mass murder. U.N. officials have repeatedly asked Bush to make that intelligence available to help the inspectors...
...Comments from Hussam Mohammed Amin, the top Iraqi official dealing with the UN inspectors, suggest that Bush is correct in warning that the Iraqis plan to claim they have no weapons of mass destruction. However, while Administration officials insist that if Saddam claims to be clean he's lying, the UN Security Council is unlikely to be persuaded by the argument that an Iraqi declaration deemed false by Washington and London will, in itself constitute an infraction of Resolution 1441. If they had been prepared to accept at face value the U.S. and British claim that Saddam is actively pursuing...
