July 27 2006 Channel is terror group's biggest cheerleader as Americans hit with the sum of all fearmongering
Following the ceaseless bombing of Lebanon, Fox News has gone thermonuclear in its mission to drive fear into the hearts of Americans by insisting that Hezbollah's use of a nuclear device in a major US or Israeli city is inevitable and that only increased surveillance of Americans can stop it. Couched in a bizarre Hannity and Colmes demonstration, where a Geiger counter (soon to be a common household object apparently) was used to measure radiation of packets placed in the two presenter's pockets, guest Cham Dallas, director for the Center for Mass Destruction Defense, was determined to get his message across. |

AFP July 27, 2006 WASHINGTON - The Pentagon extended the tours of about 3,500 US troops in Iraq for 120 days, dashing hopes of US force cuts this year in the face of surging sectarian violence.
The Pentagon also identified army and marine units totalling about 25,000 troops that have been scheduled to deploy to Iraq late this year and early next, enough to maintain the US force at about 130,000 troops for a year. "Additionally, the secretary of defense approved a request by the commander of Multi-National Forces-Iraq (MNF-I) to extend the deployment of the 172nd Stryker Brigade Combat Team operating in Iraq for up to 120 additional days," it said. |

By Margaret Talev McClatchy Newspapers WASHINGTON - John Bolton, the controversial U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, seemed destined for another partisan showdown on the Senate floor as hearings began Thursday on a new bid for his confirmation.
Democratic leaders aren't sure they have enough votes to block a second vote on the sharp-tongued, longtime U.N. critic, one year after President Bush evaded the first standoff by giving Bolton a temporary appointment to the job while Congress was in recess. Bolton's term expires at year's end unless he's confirmed. |

WASHINGTON Jul 28, 2006 (AP) Military commanders in Iraq are developing a plan to move as many as 5,000 U.S. troops with armored vehicles and tanks into Baghdad in an effort to quell escalating violence, defense officials said Thursday.
As part of the plan, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld on Thursday extended the tours of some 3,500 members of the 172nd Stryker Brigade Combat Team. The unit, which has been serving in northern Iraq, was scheduled to be leaving now, but instead, most of its 3,900 troops will serve for up to four more months. It was unclear whether the unit would go to Baghdad. |

Associated Press Wed Jul 26, 2006 WASHINGTON - Up to two-thirds of the Army's combat brigades are not ready for wartime missions, largely because they are hampered by equipment shortfalls, Democratic lawmakers said Wednesday, citing unclassified documents.
In a letter to President Bush, Rep. Ike Skelton of Missouri, the top Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee, said that "nearly every non-deployed combat brigade in the active Army is reporting that they are not ready" for combat. The figures, he said, represent an unacceptable risk to the nation. At a news conference, other leading Democrats said that those strategic reserve forces are critically short of personnel and equipment. "They're the units that could be called upon or would be called upon to go to war in North Korea, Iran, or any other country or region," said Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa., a decorated Marine who has called for a timetable for withdrawal from Iraq. |

Fri Jul 28, 2006 NEW YORK - Agents for the Federal Bureau of Investigation raided the office of Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. Chief Executive Peter Dolan as part of a criminal antitrust probe, The Wall Street Journal reported on Friday, citing a person familiar with the matter.
Federal officials are probing a settlement that would allow Bristol-Myers to stave off generic competition for best-selling anti-clotting drug Plavix, which Bristol-Meyers sells in the United States for Sanofi-Aventis. On Thursday, Bristol-Myers said the investigation by the U.S. Justice Department was related to a settlement between Sanofi and generic drugmaker Apotex. FBI agents, working on behalf of the Justice Department, showed up on Wednesday at the Manhattan headquarters of Bristol-Meyers and left with documents, the paper reported, citing a person familiar with the matter. The agents searched Dolan's office, among others, the report said. A spokesman for Bristol-Myers was not immediately available for comment. |

AP Medical Writer Fri July 28, 2006 MADISON, Wis. - Doctors are testing a radical new way to help smokers quit: a shot that "immunizes" them against the nicotine rush that fuels their addiction.
That pleasurable buzz has seduced Mario Musachia into burning through nearly half a million cigarettes in half a century. Now the Madison man is among 300 people around the country who are testing an experimental vaccine that makes the immune system attack nicotine in much the same way it would fight a life-threatening germ. |

Friday July 28, 2006 Guardian Unlimited The two police firearms officers involved in the fatal shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes are to resume "full operational duties", Scotland Yard said today.
The decision prompted immediate outrage from the family of the innocent Brazilian who police confused with a suspected suicide bomber. The announcement comes six days after the first anniversary of the 27-year-old's killing at a London underground station. |
