...Watada, 28, is from Honolulu and was part of a Stryker unit that deployed to Iraq on June 22 - without him.

But the more he learned about the war, the more doubts he had, according to his public statements...
...That's why clinical trials are so significant. So far, there are 30-40 different microbicide candidates being tested in animals, and five trials in Ghana, Nigeria and other developing nations at the most advanced stages of testing in women.

"When I came back," he says now, "there was only welcome," first by government soldiers, then by aid workers from the American Christian organization World Vision, then finally by his mother and grandmother. When Ojok returned, however, he found both...
...years in prison and substantial fines if convicted. And News Corporation honcho Rupert Murdoch's publication could be left looking for a new chief royal correspondent. Could the scandal grow? The Metropolitan Police first conducted a small investigation into the Goodman affair. But it charged its antiterror unit with a larger probe in light of indications that many prominent politicians, actors and athletes - often devout mobile-phone users - might also have been compromised. Phone companies O2 and Vodafone have been cooperating with detectives to identify any other targeted customers. Was the dirt worth the drama? Goodman's alleged spycraft revealed...
