    From the moment he launched his campaign, Steve Wells looked like a shoo-in to win the Republican primary election for Congress.

    Other group helping in Iraq not prosecuted Friday, March 07, 2003By Renee K.

The International Emergency Economic Powers Act authorizes U.S. sanctions against Iraq. Four Muslims, including three Onondaga County residents, were indicted Feb. 26 on charges that include violating the act by using the Syracuse-based charity Help the Needy to send money to Iraq without a license. About 600 people have...
