Hamas has rejected some of Israel's key demands for a ceasefire-prisoner swap deal, Reuters reported. According to the report, a Western source, Palestinian Arab source, and two Egyptian sources said that Israel's attempt to insert changes in the proposed deal is "complicating" efforts to reach an agreement which would end the war. Israel has repeatedly said that it will not allow Hamas to regain control of Gaza, because doing so would allow Hamas to fulfill its promises to carry out additional such massacres. According to the report, Israel is demanding to inspect the Gazans who would return to northern Gaza...

The video represents the only footage known to exist showing any of the Sept. 11 hijackers boarding their final flights that fateful morning. It shows most of the hijackers in Washington were pulled...

Along with political chameleon Sen. Joe Lieberman, Democrats considering running for president in 2004 are Rep. Dick Gephardt, Sen. John Kerry, Sen. John Edwards, and Vermont Gov. Howard Dean. All of them, collectively, wouldn't make a good executive. Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle was also thinking about running but dropped out. Reason?
