BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Saddam Hussein's lawyers have been asked to pick up his personal effects but Iraq's Justice Ministry denied it had taken custody of the former president and dismissed a U.S. suggestion he would hang as early as Saturday. One defense lawyer, who declined to be identified, said Saddam had been handed over by U.S. forces to Iraqi government custody. U.S. military spokesmen said they had nothing to add to a statement late on Thursday that he was still in their control. Asked about comments from the defense lawyer that Saddam had been handed over, Deputy Justice Minister Bosho...

Mullah Akhtar Mohammad Osmani was killed Tuesday by a U.S. airstrike while traveling by vehicle in a deserted area in the southern province of Helmand, the U.S. military said. Two associates also were killed, it said. There was no immediate confirmation from Afghan officials or visual proof offered to support the claim. A U.S. spokesman said "various...

WASHINGTON -- There should be two Supreme Courts, one to reverse the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, the other to hear all other cases. Last term, more of the Supreme Court's caseload -- 18 of 82 cases (22 percent) -- came from the liberal 9th Circuit, based in San Francisco, than from any other circuit, and the 9th was reversed in 15 of the 18. The 9th's winning percentage (.167) was worse than that of the 1962 Mets (.250). On Monday, in the first decision of this term, the Supreme Court reversed the 9th's fretfulness on behalf of Fernando...

Four more Palestinians were killed in separate incidents, according to Palestinian reports, including a civilian whose house collapsed on him. The violence came a day after Israel killed 17 people, including two women acting as human shields, during a standoff between Israeli troops and Hamas militants at a...

With tears welling up in his eyes, Bob Schieffer finally concluded his 18-month tenure as anchor of the CBS Evening News with an emotional in-studio tribute. Incoming anchor Katie Couric joined Schieffer at the end of Thursday night's broadcast in studio for a retrospective of his career, featuring a one-one-one pre-taped interview with the former Today Show host herself (perhaps to give viewers a sneak peek of the Katie to come?). Schieffer's professionalism resuscitated the reputation of the CBS Evening News at a time when the legendary news organization was mired in scandal in the wake of a widely disputed...

Kerry Still Thinks He'll Get Nod in '08 If at first you don't succeed... A former top campaign fundraiser to Sen. John Kerry insists that when the smoke clears in the race for the 2008 Democratic nomination for president, Kerry will once again be the party's nominee. Here's the scenario the aide outlined for NewsMax: Hillary Clinton is the front-runner and she has the money and the organization to capture the nomination.

Senator Joe Lieberman’s decision to run as an Independent sets up a lively campaign season for Connecticut voters. In the first General Election poll since Ned Lamont defeated Lieberman in Tuesday’s primary, the incumbent is hanging on to a five percentage point lead. Lieberman earns support from 46% of Connecticut voters while Lamont is the choice of 41% (see crosstabs). A month ago, the candidates were tied at 40% each.

Aug 03, 2006 - Workers at a Porterville jewelry store were trapped in a dangerous situation Wednesday, when an armed man walked into the store with a gun demanding money and jewelry. The incident happened around 6:30 p.m. at Crescent Jewelers in Central Porterville, and police were quick on the scene.

HAVANA - Fidel Castro temporarily relinquished his presidential powers to his brother Raul on Monday night and told Cubans that he had undergone surgery.

One afternoon the lance corporal downed a man hauling a grenade launcher 5½ football fields away. Wilson is the designated marksman in a company of Marines based in downtown Ramadi, watching over what Marines call the most dangerous neighborhood in the most...

BAQUBAH – A U.S. Air Force F-16 fighter, providing nontraditional intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance support to Coalition ground forces, killed a member of an improvised explosive device cell and identified an IED emplacement Wednesday near Baqubah, U.S. Central Command Air Forces officials reported. The F-16 identified three possible IED emplacers and passed the information to ground forces.

NASHVILLE - Tennessee has executed only one death row inmate since the Supreme Court decided to allow states to reinstate the death penalty in 1976. But that could change Wednesday with inmates Paul Dennis Reid and Sedley Alley scheduled to be executed by lethal injection within hours of each other. With appeals pending, it still is possible that both men could get a stay, but correction officials are getting ready for a double-execution just in case. "We're going forward as if both executions will happen that day," said Correction Department spokeswoman Dorinda Carter. Even though the death penalty remains politically...

In a 5-2 decision, the state's highest court Tuesday ruled to permane tly remove controversial Queens Supreme Court Justice Laura Blackburne from Blackburne, a Jamaica resident, allowed Derek Sterling, a drug treatment court defendant, to use a back stairwell only accessed by judges, jurors and court staff to evade arrest from a detective about an unrelated robbery back in 2004. In the New York State Court of Appeals' 20-page decision, the concurring opinion said Blackburne "placed herself above the law she was sworn to administer, thereby bringing the judiciary into disrepute and undermining public confidence in the integrity and impartiality...

BAGHDAD — U.S. and Iraqi forces zeroed in on Abu Musab al-Zarqawi over two weeks, tracking his spiritual adviser to the terrorist leader's doorstep and unleashing the airstrike that included a bomb equipped in Tucson that killed them, U.S. and Iraqi officials said Thursday. The first bomb used in the airstrike was a laser-guided Paveway GBU-12, Lt. Gen. Gary North, the top U.S. air commander in the region, told Reuters. Raytheon makes the bomb's guidance systems in Tucson

Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was alive when U.S. troops first reached him after the airstrike on his safe house, a U.S. general said, according to news reports.

One of the least understood phenomena of a bomb blast is overpressure. Everything in the blast perimeter is subject to a sudden and profound increase in air pressure. This wave of blast overpressure declines rapidly the further it travels. A person 10 feet from a bomb blast will experience nine times the overpressure of a person 20 feet away. But it gets messy and unpredictable. A person who happens to be standing between the bomb and a strong wall is subjected to more blast effect because solid surfaces reflect the blast wave. You, as you read this, are subjected to...

In fact, a few hours ago, while an Al Jazeera journalist was interviewing Abu Kadama, Zarqawi's brother-in-law in Zarqa, Jordan, the broadcast was suddenly interrupted, most probably by Jordan. Because when the journalist came back on the air, he said that Abu Kadama had just been arrested by Jordanian services. Then a second sudden interruption occured, and when the Al Jazeera anchor appeared, he announced that his journalist colleague had also been arrested by Jordan. Keep in mind that Jordan's King Abdullah was one of Zarqawi's main targets. In light of recent foiled Al Qaeda attacks in Jordan, it seems...

Washington-area sniper John Allen Muhammad was convicted of six more of the killings Tuesday after a trial in which he acted as his own attorney and the prosecution's star witness was his young protege and partner in crime, Lee Boyd Malvo. Muhammad, 45, is already under a death sentence in Virginia for a killing there. The most he can get for the six Maryland slayings is life in prison without parole. The jury took slightly more than four hours to convict him after a four-week trial. The trial marked the first time Malvo testified against the man prosecutors say was...

HOUSTON - Former Enron Corp. chiefs Kenneth Lay and Jeffrey Skilling were convicted Thursday of conspiracy to commit securities and wire fraud in a case born from one of the biggest business scandals in U.S. history. The verdict put the blame for the demise of what was once the nation's seventh-largest company squarely on its top two executives. It came in the sixth day of deliberations following a trial that lasted nearly four months.

Lionel Tate was sentenced Thursday to 30 years in prison for violating probation, the latest legal twist for the teenager convicted of murdering a 6-year-old girl in what his attorneys initially claimed was a pro wrestling move. In the latest case, Tate had faced 10 to 30 years in prison on charges of violating his probation by having a gun and robbing a pizza delivery man last year.[snip] His murder conviction was overturned by an appeals court in 2004 after the panel found it wasn't clear whether Tate understood the charges. He was freed from prison under a deal in...

WASHINGTON - The CIA has fired an employee for leaking classified information to the news media, an agency official said Friday. A federal criminal investigation has also been opened. CIA spokesman Paul Gimigliano said an officer had been fired for having unauthorized contacts with the media and disclosing classified information to reporters, including details about intelligence operations.

Cecilia Velasquez KSDK-Two days before a big immigration reform rally in downtown St. Louis, a prime mover of the event was arrested and set for deportation. Cecilia Velasquez was arrested in 2000 as she crossed the U.S border from Mexico, and refused to leave the country.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A California man on Friday admitted paying ex-private eye Anthony Pellicano to intercept phone calls, becoming the first defendant to say in open court he hired Pellicano to engage in wiretapping. George Kalta, one of 13 people charged so far in the federal wiretap case surrounding Pellicano that has become a major scandal in Tinseltown, implicated the Hollywood sleuth before a federal judge as he pleaded guilty to conspiracy.

(CBS) NEW YORK Mike Wallace, the bull-dog co-host of "60 Minutes" since its premiere, announced today he will retire as he approaches his 88th birthday. Wallace said he's getting too old to travel and to maintain the busy schedule required of 60 Minutes correspondents. “I’ve often replied, when asked, ‘I’ll retire when my toes turn up’," said Wallace. “Well, they’re just beginning to curl a trifle, which means that, as I approach my 88th birthday, it’s become apparent to me that my eyes and ears, among other appurtenances, aren’t quite what they used to be.

<p>Barbee sentenced to dieBy TRACI SHURLEYStar-Telegram Staff Writer Star-Telegram Staff WriterFORT WORTH — Stephen Barbee was sentenced to death this afternoon for killing Lisa Underwood and her 7-year-old son, Jayden. A jury of seven women and five men took more than three hours to reach their decision on Barbee, 38. The jury could have sentenced him to life in prison. During closing arguments this morning, prosecutor Kevin Rousseau brought a dramatic end to the capital murder case against Barbee with a gripping description of the murder of a pregnant Underwood and her son. He talked about Barbee’s trip to Underwood’s north Fort Worth home in the early hours of Feb. 19, 2005, and the fight that left bloodstains all over her living room. When he finished describing how Barbee smothered Underwood by pressing her face into her carpet, he reminded jurors about her 7-year-old son’s last moments on earth. “Jayden couldn’t run,” Rousseau said. “You think of (Barbee) approaching that little boy and slappng him upside the head hard enough to leave a bruise and then holding him down until he’s dead, and I dare you to say there is a reason to save his life.” In a victim impact statement, Underwood's mother, Sheila Underwood, addressed Barbee: "I want you to know I’m 53 years old and I don’t have anything left. ... I want you to suffer like I suffer. You put me in hell." Last week, Barbee, 38, was convicted of smothering the two and dumping their bodies in a wooded area in rural Denton County. At about 10:20 a.m. today, a jury began deciding whether he would die for the crime. Police investigators said Barbee thought that Underwood was carrying his child and claimed that she had threatened to break up his marriage. The unborn baby girl was not Barbee’s child, lab tests later confirmed. Underwood’s friends have said that she believed he was the father and wanted only for Barbee, who co-owned two businesses, to have the child covered on his health insurance. During closing arguments Monday, prosecutors Dixie Bersano and Rousseau cast Barbee as a selfish man who was willing to do anything to get what he wanted. They said the disregard he showed for the lives of Lisa Underwood and Jayden prove that he will be a future danger to society, a requirement for the death penalty. Defense attorneys Tim Moore and Bill Ray, however, pleaded with jurors not to use emotion to answer the question of whether Barbee should die. Moore cautioned them against asking why, if Barbee took these two lives, he shouldn’t die, too. “It’s not a proper question, and I’ll tell you why it’s not a proper question,” Moore said. “That is because it’s a question the answer of which is based on pure revenge, and you have to be careful, folks, not to let revenge creep into your deliberations. There’s no place for revenge in our law.” Moore said Barbee was a law-abiding, productive citizen who changed into an “atrocious human being” for three hours on Feb. 19, 2005. He is unlikely to be violent in the future, Moore said. Rousseau, however, said jurors had plenty of reason to consider Barbee dangerous. Testimony from Barbee’s first wife, Theresa, was an example, he said. She testified last week that Stephen Barbee assaulted her four times during their marriage. Once, a candle he knocked off a wall hit her in the head and gave her a concussion, she said. “The pattern was there. The warning was there,” Rousseau said. “Unfortunately, Lisa Underwood did not have the benefit of that warning. She never had a chance. She never had a chance.”</p>

SAN FRANCISCO Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has denied a request by an attorney for condemned inmate Michael Morales that the governor reconsider granting Morales a clemency hearing. Morales, 46, was convicted of the 1981 sexual assault and murder of 17-year-old Terri Winchell of Lodi, and is scheduled to die by lethal injection at San Quentin State Prison at 12:01 a.m. Tuesday.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday refused to stay the execution of convicted killer Michael Morales. Justice Anthony Kennedy reviewed the case, then sent it to the full court, which denied Morales' final appeal at 6:29 p.m. EST, according to court spokesman Ed Turner. "The court entered orders denying the request for stays of execution," he said. The Supreme court was the only legal option left for Morales, 46, who is scheduled to die from lethal injection at 12:01 a.m. at San Quentin State Prison for killing teenager Terri Winchell, of Lodi.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger declined to grant clemency Friday to a rapist-murderer scheduled to die Tuesday at San Quentin State Prison for murdering a Lodi girl in 1981. Michael Morales, 46, admitted that he murdered and raped Terri Winchell, 17, but said his own life was worth sparing because of his remorse and redemption on death row. "There is no compelling evidence that the jury's punishment is not appropriate in this case," Schwarzenegger wrote. "All the reviewing courts have upheld the jury's punishment. Morales' claim that he is a changed man does not excuse the brutal murder...

The United States is attempting to hand over to Iraq a man suspected of plotting a chemical weapons attack with leading al-Qaeda operative Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, Agence France-Presse reported yesterday (see GSN, Dec. 16, 2005). The United States also claims Shawqi Omar followed foreigners for potential kidnapping and acted as Zarqawi’s personal emissary with Iraqi insurgent groups. Omar, who has dual U.S. and Kuwaiti citizenship, was captured in October 2004 by U.S. forces and held without being charged with a crime for 15 months (Agence France-Presse/Khaleej Times, Feb. 9).

PARIS -- The French government deported a Malian involved in autumn rioting on Thursday _ the first expulsion stemming from the weeks of violence that swept across France's troubled suburbs _ and was preparing to send home another six foreigners. The deportation of the man made good on promises issued by Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy during three weeks of car burnings, riots and other violence that began Oct. 27. "I was widely criticized for saying ... that I would apply the law by expelling those (foreigners) who participated in the riots," Sarkozy said on LCI television. "Well, a first one...
