But Noesen was accused of unprofessional conduct and will face an administrative law judge on June 22. Antiabortion groups are urging Wisconsin officials not to punish Noesen. He and his attorney did not comment...
Roosevelt delayed D-day for so long not to punish the Russians but to protect Americans--and to lay the groundwork for the U.S.'s postwar international leadership. He knew all too well that his isolationist countrymen had scuttled Woodrow Wilson's bid to claim that leadership after World War I.

Brennan Byrne, follows days of negotiation with former Iraqi generals and local politicians. It comes three weeks after the Marines first went in to punish those responsible for killing and mutilating four U.S. private security men, and 10 days after the first attempt at a cease-fire brokered by local leaders that required the insurgents to turn over their heavy weapons...
