...later. Now it's been coupled to a bill that would-finally-set up a compensation program for health care workers who suffer serious side effects from smallpox vaccines. The absence of such a program is a big reason why fewer than 13,000 of the Bush administration's target of 500,000 health care and emergency workers have received the shot so far. The bill would also kick-start Bush's bioshield initiative, designed to speed the availability of new vaccines for biological threats...
...targets have been picked and planning moves along swiftly. On the U.S.S. Constellation, the ordinance department has been stocking up the Joint Direct Attack Munitions, the gray 'smart bombs' that operate with GSM locators to find their exact target. Red vested youngsters bring them up from storage and leave them lying casually on one side of the flight deck, an area they call the 'bomb farm'. From there they are loaded onto fighters.

Last week, they used precision-guided weapons to target five underground military communication sites just 60 miles southeast of Baghdad, without taking any civilian lives - though forces were met with Iraqi ground fire. According to the United States Central Command, Iraqi defense has fired at US planes least 110 times since January, although most of the fire came from...
...about non-family abductors: They tend to be male, and, despite the "dirty old man" tag, most are younger than 35 and of average or above average intelligence. In an overwhelming number of cases, their motives are sexual. Most are not true strangers to the children they take; they target one child and seek their confidence, often by developing a casual relationship with them...
