...create a hostage situation where Iraq has a U.S. prisoner of war, which Saddam knows would dominate the front pages for days, weeks and months. So this is another reminder of the risks of the "no-fly zone" policy, which the U.S. and Britain maintain in order to restrict Saddam's ability to move troops around either to suppress domestic opposition or to threaten to invade another neighbor. Because the 1990 invasion caught everyone by surprise - the U.S. had good relations with Saddam before that, on the grounds that Iraq was the strategic underpinning of the containment of Iran...

Monti told TIME that the key point was that GE could not restrict those who would buy the shares.

The new law won't stop data sharing from happening...
...really going to start basing social policy on the assumption that a few embryonic cells equal a human being? If so, restricting research on discarded embryos is an odd place to start. Why not restrict fertility clinics, which routinely produce more embryos than they need and destroy the surplus? To pursue the gruesome Holocaust analogy, it's like outlawing the lampshades while ignoring the gas chambers. And yet President Bush is not searching for compromise on the issue of fertility clinics because there is no such issue. The Roman Catholic Church and others are publicly opposed to high-tech fertilization...
