Help Wanted At DNC WASHINGTON, Nov. 24, 2004 This is a time of generational change. Congressional leaders Gephardt and Daschle are gone, the Clinton years are fading and the Democrats are squarely a minority party. Democrats are looking for someone to replace Terry McAuliffe as chairman of the Democratic National Committee. (Photo: AP) Howard Dean has been mentioned as a possible candidate to head the DNC, but his liberal reputation and possible plans to run for president in 2008 may take him out of contention.

John Kerry wants us to believe that he is qualified to be President of the United States and commander-in-chief of our nations armed forces simply because he was a junior lieutenant in the Navy. Oh, and, he keeps mentioning serving two tours in the Vietnam war. Note, now, that Kerry does not want us to scrutinize what he did (and did not do) in all his years as a Senator. Kerry is running for office as a Naval officer -- as a war hero. On Kerry's Senate web site[1], he clearly states: "As a Vietnam veteran, I have experienced firsthand...

WASHINGTON – The job certainly has its upside. The director of the Central Intelligence Agency knows the world's biggest secrets; visits kings, princes, and presidents - usually during the dark of night in mysterious places; travels with a contingent of heavily armed guards; and oh, yes, meets nearly every day with the president. But power and intrigue aside, it may be difficult to fill the spacious seventh-floor office with sweeping views of wooded northern Virginia left vacant by George Tenet this week. For one thing, there is the overwhelming challenge of overhauling a $40 billion, broken intelligence community. The lapses...

JAKARTA (Reuters) - A young Islamic militant accused of involvement in last year's bombing of a U.S.-run hotel in Indonesia told a court Monday he had targeted Americans and regretted that all but one of those killed were his countrymen.

Wanted: A Legible Voting Ballot Why it's time to redesign the ballot design process. By Jessie Scanlon Updated Monday, October 6, 2003, at 12:25 PM PT With a record 133 candidates (post-Arianna) in the California gubernatorial race, the Oct. 7 election poses a nontrivial design challenge: How to fit all those names on the ballot? In a sense, the election is a litmus test of how far we've come since the 2000 presidential election, when the now-infamous butterfly in Dade County, Fla., put ballot design on newspapers' front pages. The answer: not far. A study carried out by USA Today...

David Petraeus, was in response to a request by Sultan Hashim Ahmed's family and tribal chiefs that Ahmed's name be removed from America's list of 55 most-wanted Iraqis in return for his surrender. "I offer you a simple, yet honorable alternative to a life on the run from coalition forces in order to avoid capture, imprisonment and loss...

JERUSALEM, Aug. 16 Israel has relented on one of its core demands on the Palestinian leadership, backing away for now from its insistence that the men it regards as wanted terrorists be held under lock and key in Palestinian prisons, Israeli and Palestinian officials said today. Instead, Israel has accepted in principle the assurances of Muhammad Dahlan, the Palestinian minister of security, that he will monitor the wanted men in the cities where they now live and prevent them from mounting attacks, the officials said. That would represent a less aggressive strategy than the immediate "dismantlement" of terrorist infrastructure that...

Wanted: nickel with a $1m price on its head By David Usborne in New York 31 May 2003 Americans are being asked to rummage in their attics and pockets for a single coin, which, should they find it, could make them very wealthy indeed.

MIAMI (Reuters) - U.S. authorities made a fresh and urgent call for public help on Monday to find a Saudi-born man who could pose what they termed a "very, very serious" threat as part of an al Qaeda plot against the United States. Stepping up their search with an appeal to the U.S. Muslim community for information, the FBI said Adnan El Shukrijumah, who is not charged with a crime but is being sought for questioning, was a friend of a man now serving prison time for plotting to blow up Florida power plants. FBI officials said El Shukrijumah, 27,...
