FEDERAL OFFICIALS SAY TRAIN CREW ACTED PROPERLY
Federal officials said early inspections indicate the crew of a CSX train acted properly just before it derailed and ignited a massive chemical fire that forced evacuations south of Louisville. A small fire continued yesterday afternoon, as firefighters were finishing a controlled burn of some chemicals from tanker cars. Mark Rosenker, chairman of the National Transportation and Safety Board, said investigators are inspecting the track for nicks and abrasions. He said the federal agency considers the derailment an accident.
Well now, our enemies will be glad to read this:

"Congresswomen Propose Troop Withdrawal in Six Months"

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "(CNSNews.com) - Three California Democrats in Congress announced a bill Wednesday that they say would force President Bush to withdraw troops from Iraq within six months.
Their legislation would repeal the authorization for the use of force, fully fund a six-month withdrawal of U.S. forces and military contractors in Iraq, and prohibit permanent military bases from existing there. It would also provide economic and political aid to the Iraqi government.
The bill draws heavily on discussions the three lawmakers - Lynn Woolsey, Maxine Waters and Barbara Lee - had with former Sen. George McGovern (D-S.D.) and William Polk, co-authors of a new book advocating withdrawal.
Critics of an immediate withdrawal worry it would destabilize the region and allow insurgent forces more freedom to take over the vulnerable government in Baghdad."
