Leaving it up to the U.S. to choose the way to carry out the order, the international tribunal — formally, the International Court of Justice that sits in The Hague, Netherlands — told the U.S. only to “take all measures necessary to ensure” that Texas does not...

Police say two women were waiting to be served Monday when they began arguing about who was next in line. Customers take a number to order when they enter the market, but another customer who left before ordering had given Pamela Bumpers her number.

After three weeks of negotiations, the conference of technical experts from several countries rejected this practice. "Radio transmissions from an aircraft only toward the territory of another government, and without its consent," contravenes radio communication regulations," the conference decided. Diplomats interviewed by Prensa Latina said "this is a firm rejection of measures implemented by the Bush government in the last years.

"You have to be unwavering in your convictions that you're doing something good, because there are a lot of circling vultures that will eat you alive."
