...most recent--and controversial--charge links fluoridation with bone cancer. In June the Environmental Working Group (EWG), a watchdog organization, petitioned the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to list fluoride in tap water as a carcinogen. The group cited "decades of peer-review studies" on fluoride's "ability to mutate DNA and its known deposition on the ends of growing bones, the site of osteosarcoma"--a rare, often fatal cancer that affects mainly boys...
...fulcrum of an international showdown between the West and Iran, Dr. Mohammed ElBaradei on Friday welcomed his Nobel Peace Prize award as a "shot in the arm." ElBaradei shared the 2005 award with the organization he heads up, the International Atomic Energy Agency, the UN's nuclear watchdog responsible for policing the nuclear programs of signatories to the nuclear non-proliferation treaty...

Specifically, he wants President Hu to support his efforts next week to have the UN's nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency, refer Iran to the Security Council over failure to disclose aspects of its nuclear program. That's a little like asking the glue factory manager to punish the guy who shoots horses: China imports roughly half of the 6.7 million barrels of oil it uses...
