...they're good at this thing too, even though many of them don't know the difference between a .28-gauge shotgun and an any-caliber rifle. The chief difference, of course (and the relevant one here) is that a shotgun of this modest size barely constitutes a serious weapon when loaded with birdshot of the type that Cheney used.

Then, on Ahmadinejad's instructions, Iran resumed uranium enrichment work Tuesday at its Natanz research facility.

West said his men confiscated 300,000 pounds last year and "that was just what we caught." "It used to be cat-and-mouse," West said, and the only weapon most smugglers had "were two fast feet." Now, they are armed with high-powered weapons and, West believes, are getting protection from Mexican Army units who camp in the desert just across the border...
