Iran: CIA, U.S. Army ‘terrorist organizations’
TEHRAN, Iran - Iran’s parliament on Saturday approved a nonbinding resolution to label the CIA and the U.S. Army “terrorist organizations.” The move is seen as a diplomatic tit-for-tat after the U.S. Senate voted in favor of a resolution urging the State Department to designate Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps a terrorist organization.
“The aggressor U.S. Army and the Central Intelligence Agency are terrorists and also nurture terror,” said a statement by the 215 lawmakers who signed the resolution at an open session of the Iranian parliament. The session was broadcast live on state-run radio.
The hard-line dominated parliament said the two were terrorists, because they were involved in dropping nuclear bombs in Japan in World War II, used depleted uranium munitions in the Balkans, Afghanistan and Iraq, supported the killings of Palestinians by Israel, bombed and killed Iraqi civilians and tortured terror suspects in prisons.
The resolution, which is seen as a diplomatic offensive against the U.S., urges Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s government to treat the two as terrorist organizations. It also paves the way for the resolution to become legislation that—if ratified by the country’s hardline constitutional watchdog—would become law. The government is expected to remain silent over the parliament resolution and wait for U.S. reaction before making its decision.
On Wednesday, the Senate voted 76-22 in favor of a resolution urging the State Department to designate Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps a terrorist organization. While the proposal attracted overwhelming bipartisan support, a small group of Democrats said they feared labeling the state-sponsored organization a terrorist group could be interpreted as a congressional authorization of military force in Iran.
The Bush administration had already been considering whether to blacklist an elite unit within the Revolutionary Guard, subjecting part of the vast military operation to financial sanctions.
The U.S. legislative push came a day after Ahmadinejad told world leaders at the U.N. General Assembly that his country would defy attempts to impose new sanctions by “arrogant powers” seeking to curb its nuclear program, accusing them of lying and imposing illegal penalties on his country.
He said the nuclear issue was now “closed” as a political issue and Iran would pursue the monitoring of its nuclear program “through its appropriate legal path,” the International Atomic Energy Agency, which is the U.N.’s nuclear watchdog.
Tensions between the U.S. and Iran have escalated over Washington accusations that Iran is secretly trying to develop nuclear weapons and has been supplying Shiite militias in Iraq with deadly weapons used to kill U.S. troops. Iran denies both of the allegations.

6 key nations, EU agree to delay Iran sanctions
No vote until November so Tehran can answer questions on nuke program.
NEW YORK - Six key nations and the European Union agreed Friday to delay until November a new U.N. resolution that would toughen sanctions against Iran, waiting to see if Tehran answers questions about its disputed nuclear program.
A joint statement from the U.S., Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany with EU support said they would finalize the new resolution and bring it to a vote unless reports in November from the chief U.N. nuclear official and the European Union’s foreign policy chief “show a positive outcome of their efforts.”
The United States, Britain and France had been pushing for new sanctions now to pressure Iran to suspend uranium enrichment, but Russia and China wanted to give Tehran more time to comply with U.N. inspectors.

KABUL, Afghanistan - A suicide bomber wearing an Afghan army uniform set off a huge explosion early Saturday while trying to board a military bus, killing 27 soldiers and wounding 21, officials said. The Taliban claimed responsibility.
The blast ripped off the roof of the bus and tore out its sides, leaving a charred hull of burnt metal.
Dozens of civilians and police officers picked through the site in search of bodies. The Interior Ministry said 27 soldiers were killed and 21 people wounded.
‘It was like an atom bomb’
“For 10 or 15 seconds, it was like an atom bomb — fire, smoke and dust everywhere,” said Mohammad Azim, a police officer who witnessed the explosion.
A purported Taliban spokesman, Zabiullah Mujahid, claimed the militant group was responsible for the blast in a text message to The Associated Press. Mujahid said the bomber was a Kabul resident named Azizullah.
The bus had stopped in front of a movie theater to pick up soldiers when a bomber wearing a military uniform tried to board around 6:45 a.m. local time, army spokesman Gen. Mohammad Zahir Azimi said.
“Typically there are people checking the IDs of soldiers who want to board the bus,” Azimi said. “While they were checking the IDs the bomber tried to get on the bus and blew himself up there.”
The theater, a restaurant and a pharmacy were among several shops that were badly damaged. Body parts were scattered in all directions; police and soldiers climbed trees to retrieve some.
A woman who lives nearby was woken up by the explosion, which shattered her bedroom window, cutting her feet. The blast’s force sprayed a chunk of scalp onto the woman’s roof.
Sulahdin, an army officer at the scene who goes by one name, said about 50 people were on the bus. Adbul Karim, a witness, said several people in the back of the vehicle survived.
Taliban attacks typically target international and Afghan military and police, though civilians are often killed or wounded as well. The Taliban have launched more than 100 suicide attacks this year, a record pace.
Similar attack in June
The attack mirrored a similar suicide bombing in June, when a bomber boarded a police academy bus at Kabul’s busiest transportation hub, killing 35 people — the deadliest insurgent attack in Afghanistan since the U.S.-led invasion in 2001.

More than 4,500 people have been killed in insurgency-related violence this year, according to an Associated Press count based on figures from Western and Afghan officials.
Meanwhile, the International Committee of the Red Cross has established contact with the armed group that kidnapped four of its workers but no progress has been made, officials said Friday.
The four ICRC employees — a national from Myanmar, one from Macedonia and two from Afghanistan — were seized Wednesday in the central province of Ghazni while trying to secure the release of a German captive.
“We have established contact with all parties concerned with the aim of resolving this situation as quickly as possibly,” said Graziella Leite, an ICRC spokeswoman in Afghanistan.
My personal opinion, is that i know that Kabul is the most safe city in Afghanistan, so of course with problems like they have in Afghanistan and Irak, no place is really really safe. Sad, but true.

Investigator: Young girl in sex video found ‘safe’
Police name Chester Arthur Stiles as ‘person of interest’ in sex abuse case
LAS VEGAS - A young girl who was seen being sexually assaulted in a homemade videotape has been found and is safe with family members and sheriff's officials, an investigator said Friday.
"We found the victim. She's safe," Nye County sheriff's Detective David Boruchowitz told The Associated Press.
Widespread media accounts of the case led to the crucial tip that helped find the girl, Boruchowitz said. He did not provide details of her identity, where she lives or how she was located.
Authorities believe the girl was 4 or 5 years old when she was raped and sexually assaulted in the video. MSNBC.com does not usually identify or release photos of suspected victims of sexual abuse.
Authorities named fugitive Chester Arthur Stiles as a "person of interest." Stiles was described as a white male, 6 feet, 3 inches tall and with brown hair and hazel eyes.
It is “possible” that the man seen assaulting her is Stiles, Nye County Sheriff Tony DeMeo said at a news conference Friday afternoon in Pahrump, a rural town 60 miles from Las Vegas.
DeMeo told CNN that Stiles is not the father of the young girl.
Stiles, 37, whose last known address was Las Vegas, is also wanted on an unrelated state warrant on a charge of lewdness with a minor younger than 14 and a federal charge of being a fugitive, DeMeo said.
Older girl not assaulted
Investigators determined that the video of the attack was recorded over the video of an 11-year-old girl taped in October 2005 through a window of a Pahrump home, DeMeo said.
Officials identified that girl, now 13, after releasing photos taken from the video and matched to records of a "peeping Tom" report at her home. No one was found outside the girl's home when deputies arrived, and the girl wasn't assaulted, authorities said.
A 26-year-old Pahrump man, Darren Tuck, surrendered the tape to Nye County sheriff's investigators Sept. 8 after another man reported seeing it, Boruchowitz said.
Tuck was arrested on charges of promoting child pornography and possession of child pornography, both felonies, and released without bail pending an appearance Nov. 26 in Pahrump Justice Court. The top charge carries a possible sentence of up to life in prison.
Tuck told detectives he found the videotape in the desert outside Pahrump more than five months ago. Investigators don't think Tuck made the tape, Boruchowitz said.
Tuck's lawyer, Thomas Gibson of Pahrump, has characterized Tuck as an innocent middleman who should be credited for giving the tape to authorities.

Top 5 reasons for governments to keep UFOs in secret
Stanton Friedman, a physicist who once worked for such giants as Westinghouse and General Electric, has devoted much of his adult life to ferreting out clues in the UFO controversy.
Pitching his case before more than 600 campus audiences, Friedman concludes that alien aircraft have been around for decades and that governments have tried to keep an airtight lid on them.
He has five reasons for a massive and sustained cover-up that he labels “the cosmic Watergate.”
1. Government agents want to figure out how crashed aircraft work.
2. No one wants any enemy governments to know what has been discovered.
3. If some trusted public figures, say the queen of England and the pope, disclosed UFOs, society would be shaken up, and earthlings would begin thinking of themselves as such, rather than as citizens of individual nations.
4. The fourth problem is the fundamentalist Christian perspective that aliens are “the work of the Devil,” quoting 700 Club founder Pat Robertson and the late Rev. Jerry Falwell. The two said earth contains the only intelligence life in the universe, he said.
5. A public confirmation would lead to economic chaos, and lastly, secrecy is a way of life in government.

Have an awsome nice weekend everyone.!!!
Vesuvia. May be some news later, if not it will be tomorrow!!! no news good news 
Those pesky campaign expectations, Clinton and Giuliani benefiting from voters' negative preconceptions, more intriguing aspects to presidential campaigns is how much expectations play into how the media and the public perceive and eventually choose their presidents.
The media get criticized for playing the expectations game in politics. The most glaring example of this is probably the 1984 Iowa caucuses when Gary Hart was coronated as a media darling following his 32-point loss to Mondale.
Because Mondiale didn't get over 50% in a neighboring state and because Hart finished a surprising second over supposedly more known rivals, Hart got all the attention from the media and turned that 32-point Iowa loss into a New Hampshire primary victory.rnrnmore on msnbc.com written by Ckuck Tood Political director NBC.

High court to mull legality of lethal injections
Kentucky cases could affect how inmates are executed across U.S.
WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court on Tuesday agreed to consider the constitutionality of lethal injections in a case that could affect the way inmates are executed around the country.
The high court will hear a challenge from two inmates on death row in Kentucky — Ralph Baze and Thomas Clyde Bowling Jr. — who sued Kentucky in 2004, claiming lethal injection amounts to cruel and unusual punishment.
Baze has been scheduled for execution Tuesday night, but the Kentucky Supreme Court halted the proceedings earlier this month.
The U.S. Supreme Court has previously made it easier for death row inmates to contest the lethal injections used across the country for executions.
But until Tuesday, the justices had never agreed to consider the fundamental question of whether the mix of drugs used in Kentucky and elsewhere violates the Eighth Amendment’s ban on cruel and unusual punishment.
All 37 states that perform lethal injections use the same three-drug cocktail, but at least 10 states suspended its use after opponents alleged it was ineffective and cruel. The three drugs consist of an anesthetic, a muscle paralyzer, and a substance to stop the heart. Death penalty foes have argued that if the condemned prisoner is not given enough anesthetic, he can suffer excruciating pain without being able to cry out.
Lower court judge's ruling
U.S. District Judge Aleta Trauger ruled last week that Tennessee’s method of lethal injection is unconstitutional and ordered the state not to execute a death row inmate. The state is still deciding whether to appeal the judge’s ruling, but agreed to stop a pending execution.
A ruling from California in the case of convicted killer Michael Morales resulted in the statewide suspension of executions.
States began using lethal injection in 1978 as an alternative to the historic methods of execution: electrocution, gassing, hanging and shooting. Since the death penalty resumed in 1977, 790 of 958 executions have been by injection.

A challenge by convicted killers Ralph Baze, seen here, and Thomas Clyde Bowling Jr. will be heard by the U.S. Supreme Court.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----
Baze and Bowling sued in 2004 and a trial was held the following spring. A state judge upheld the use of lethal injection and the Kentucky Supreme Court affirmed that decision. The appeal taken up Tuesday by the U.S. Supreme Court stems from that decision.
“This is probably one of the most important cases in decades as it relates to the death penalty,” said David Barron, the public defender who represents Baze and Bowling.
Baze, 52, has been on death row for 14 years. He was sentenced for the 1992 shooting deaths of Powell County Sheriff Steve Bennett and Deputy Arthur Briscoe.
Bennett and Briscoe were serving warrants on Baze when he shot them. Baze has said the shootings were the result of a family dispute that got out of hand and resulted in the sheriff being called.
Bowling was sentenced to death for killing Edward and Tina Earley and shooting their 2-year-old son outside the couple’s Lexington, Ky., dry-cleaning business in 1990. Bowling was scheduled to die in November 2004, but a judge stopped it after Bowling and Baze sued over the constitutionality of lethal injection.

Ahmadinejad: Iran’s nuclear issue is ‘closed’
Iranian leader says nation will ignore U.N. resolutions by ‘arrogant powers’
NEW YORK - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad announced Tuesday that his country’s disputed nuclear program is “closed” as a political issue, and said Tehran will disregard U.N. Security Council resolutions imposed by “arrogant powers” to curb its nuclear program.
Instead, he told world leaders at the U.N. General Assembly that Iran has decided to pursue the monitoring of its nuclear program “through its appropriate legal path,” the
International Atomic Energy Agency, which is the U.N.’s nuclear watchdog.
Earlier this month, IAEA chief Mohamed El-Baradei said Iran’s cooperation with the agency represented an important step, but he urged Tehran to answer all questions — including reported experiments that link enrichment and missile technology — before the end of the year. This week, IAEA technical officials returned to Tehran to deal with the nuclear questions.
When Ahmadinejad was ushered to the podium of the General Assembly to speak, the U.S. delegation walked out, leaving only a low-ranking note-taker to listen to his speech which indirectly accused the United States and Israel of major human rights violations.
The Iranian leader spoke hours after French President Nicolas Sarkozy warned the assembly that allowing Iran to arm itself with nuclear weapons would be an “unacceptable risk to stability in the region and in the world.”
Earlier, German Chancellor Angela Merkel threatened tougher sanctions against Iran if the country remains intractable in the dispute over its nuclear program.
President insists nuke program peaceful
Iran insists that its nuclear program is purely peaceful and aimed solely at producing nuclear energy. But the United States and key European nations believe the program is a cover for Iran’s real ambition — producing nuclear
weapons. More on msnbc.com

Equipment failure clears Memphis airspace
FAA grounds unknown number of flights; ripple effect felt around country.
MEMPHIS, Tenn. - Communications equipment failed Tuesday at a regional air-traffic control center, shutting down all airline traffic within 250 miles of Memphis and causing a ripple effect across the country that grounded dozens of passenger and cargo flights.
The problem started when a major telephone line to the Memphis center went out at 12:35 p.m. EST. The Federal Aviation Administration said air-traffic control operations were back to normal about three hours later.
Air-traffic control centers in adjacent regions handled flights that were already in the air when the problem was discovered.
"The airspace was completely cleared by 1:30 (p.m.) Eastern time," FAA spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen said.
High-altitude flights through the region — which includes parts of Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, Missouri, Indiana, Kentucky and Tennessee — were discontinued while the equipment was being fixed.
"What we did is put a ground stop in place for any flight that would transition through that airspace. We held them on the ground wherever they were, whether it was Miami, Seattle, Los Angeles, Boston," Bergen said.
The FAA's action had a ripple effect in several airports.
David Magana, a spokesman at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, said about 50 flights had been delayed, but were in the process of departing Tuesday afternoon. About 50 other flights had to be canceled.
In Nashville, 12 Northwest Airlines flights were diverted, and 25 to 30 departures had been delayed one to two hours, airport spokeswoman Emily Richard said.
"This is not the way to start out our dream vacation of a lifetime," said Vernon Thompson, 64, waiting with his wife in Nashville to begin flying to New Zealand.
Bob Erickson, a traveling Fruit of the Loom underwear salesman from Bowling Green, Ky., said he was delayed five hours in Nashville on his way to New York. "What are you going to do?" a stoic Erickson said. "There's absolutely nothing you can do."
Disruptions affecting fewer flights were reported at many airports, including those serving Miami, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Pittsburgh, Tampa, Fla., and Raleigh and Charlotte, N.C. No major problems were reported at Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson Airport or Chicago's O'Hare and Midway airports, aviation officials said.

Sect leader convicted on rape-by-proxy charges
Warren Jeffs faces potential life sentence over teen’s arranged marriage.
ST. GEORGE, Utah - The leader of a polygamous Mormon splinter group was convicted Tuesday of being an accomplice to rape for performing a wedding between a 19-year-old man and a 14-year-old girl.
Warren Jeffs, 51, could get life in prison after a trial that threw a spotlight on a renegade community along the Arizona-Utah line where as many as 10,000 of Jeffs’ followers practice plural marriage and revere him as a mighty prophet with dominion over their salvation.
Jeffs, like his 15 followers in the courtroom, stood stoically as the verdict was read.
Prosecutors said Jeffs forced the girl into marriage and sex against her will.
The jury deliberated about 16 hours over three days. On Tuesday morning, the judge replaced a juror with an alternate for undisclosed reasons.
While polygamy itself was not on trial — the couple were monogamous — the case focused attention on the practice of polygamy in Utah, where it has generally been tolerated in the half-century since a government raid in 1953 proved a public relations disaster, with children photographed being torn from their mothers’ arms.
Jeffs succeeded his father in 2002 as president of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Former members say he rules with an iron fist, demanding perfect obedience from followers and exercising the right to arrange marriages as well as break them up and assign new spouses.
