Correa was ultimately fired by the Cardinals in July and was later charged.

The U.S has been at risk of a weapon of mass destruction (WMD) attack for years because the government bureaucrats responsible for the security and safety at thousands of laboratories that conduct research with deadly chemicals and bacteria fail to perform their duties, according to a report released on Wednesday by non-partisan watchdog group that investigates and exposes government corruption and abuse.

It has prompted the charge that director Oliver Hirschbiegel has gone too far. "It's one of the last remaining taboos in Germany and we...

Kerry fumbled, Bush picked up the Ball! Nancy Salvato September 11, 2004 In light of John Kerry spouting off about how he would have handled the minutes after the Twin Tower attacks differently than President George Bush, I think its time to look at just how ineffective Kerry truly is when it comes to fighting terror.
