Election - "Hillary:
Peddling pop vote canards to the end." ... "The facts,
which must be repeated:" ... "[2008 Election Democratic Presidential Candidate]
Hillary [Clinton] does not lead in the popular vote by any measure other
than her own idiosyncratic belief that Florida should count even though
it didn't and hundreds of thousands of Floridians didn't vote because they
were told it wouldn't; that Puerto Rico should count even though Puerto
Ricans can't vote in the general election ("lead us to victory in November"???);
that Michigan should also count even though it didn't and thousands of
Michiganders didn't vote because they were told it wouldn't and she was
the only person on the ballot; that Obama should get zero votes -- Zero!!!
-- from Michigan ["Uncommited" received 238,168 votes, Clinton received
328,309 votes]; and that Obama also should get no votes from four states
that he won [Iowa, Nevada, Washington, and Maine], because they held caucuses
and didn't count the popular vote." -By John Riley

- "Russians
threaten to counter US shield." ... "Russia could
site cruise missiles in Kaliningrad, the Russian enclave between Poland
and Lithuania, if the US goes ahead with plans for a missile defence shield
in central Europe, Russia’s first deputy prime minister warned on Wednesday."
... "The televised comments by Sergei Ivanov – a possible successor to
President Vladimir Putin – came two days after Mr Putin proposed using
a new radar station being built in southern Russia in place of a planned
US radar in the Czech Republic. The proposal was made during informal talks
with US [Republican] president George W. Bush in Kennebunkport, Maine."
... "Mr Putin warned last month that Moscow would once again target Europe
with nuclear missiles if the US shield went ahead." ... "Formerly the German-speaking
region of East Prussia, Kaliningrad became part of the Soviet Union after
1945. In the cold war it was a military base and closed to outsiders. After
the break-up of the USSR in 1991, Kaliningrad became an enclave cut off
from Russia." -By Neil Buckley in Moscow and Demetri

- "Senators
Use Hayden Hearing to Criticize Bush Surveillance Plan."
... "Senators reviewing General Michael Hayden's nomination to lead the
CIA used his confirmation hearing to criticize the Bush administration's
failure to tell them about warrantless eavesdropping of suspected terrorists."
... "``The Congress was really never consulted or informed in a manner
that we could truly perform our oversight role,'' Maine Republican Olympia
Snowe told Hayden. The failure to brief all members of the House and Senate
intelligence committees until the day before the confirmation hearing ``breeds
corrosive mistrust,'' she said." ... "Democrats Russ Feingold of Wisconsin
and Ron Wyden of Oregon accused Hayden of misleading Congress in 2002 when
he said the government was obtaining warrants to conduct surveillance."
... "President George W. Bush nominated Hayden to succeed Porter Goss,
himself a former chairman of the House Intelligence Committee. Goss resigned
from the CIA post earlier this month. Hayden is currently deputy director
in the Office of National Intelligence, which was created last year to
coordinate all U.S. intelligence-gathering operations." -By

- "Intel
throws support to Net neutrality push." ... "Intel
Corp. has waded into the debate over the future of the Internet, joining
major Web companies in supporting legislation that would force Internet
service providers to treat all traffic equally." ... "The House Committee
on Energy and Commerce approved a telecommunications bill Wednesday that
did not contain the kind of safeguard the "net neutrality" proponents are
seeking." ... "With the defeat in the House, attention on the issue is
expected to shift to the Senate, where Sens. Olympia Snowe, R-Maine, and
Byron Dorgan, D-N.D., plan to introduce a net neutrality bill."

Voters Approve Ban on Gay Marriage." ... "Texas voters
Tuesday overwhelming approved a constitutional ban on same-sex marriage,
making their state the 19th to take that step. In Maine, however, a proposal
to repeal a new gay-rights law was trailing in early returns." ... "In
Maine, early returns indicated voters were spurning a measure placed on
the ballot by a church-backed conservative coalition that would repeal
a gay-rights law approved by lawmakers earlier this year. The lawmakers
expanded the state's human rights act to outlaw discrimination based on
sexual orientation, a step already taken by the five other New England
states." -By David Crary

- "Realities
vs. policy: Women face growing combat roles in Iraq."
... "Jennifer Guay went to war to be a grunt. And the 170-pound former
bartender from Leeds, Maine, with cropped red hair and a penchant for the
bench press, has come pretty close." ... "It was mid-February and Guay,
26, an Army specialist who was the first woman to be assigned as an infantry
combat medic, was spending 10 hours a day on missions with the 82nd Airborne
Division, dodging rockets and grenades in the crowded streets of Mosul
[Iraq]." ... "As American women in uniform patrol bomb-ridden highways,
stand duty at checkpoints shouldering M-16s and raid houses in insurgent-contested
towns, many have come to believe this war has rendered obsolete a decade-old
Pentagon policy barring them from serving with ground-combat battalions."

- "Welcome
Stop for Warriors: Locals in Bangor, Maine, are on
a mission to greet every military plane, at any time, in any weather. Their
tally so far: 200,000 troops." ... "Tired and bleary-eyed, Marines of the
1st Battalion, 7th Regiment, based at Twentynine Palms, Calif. [California],
were finally back on U.S. soil after seven months on the front lines in
Iraq." ... "But they were still many miles and hours from their families
and the homecoming they longed for. Their officers told them they would
be on the ground for 60 to 90 minutes while their chartered plane was refueled."
... "So they disembarked and began walking through the airport terminal
corridor to a small waiting room." ... "That's when they heard the applause."
... "Lining the hall and clapping were dozens of Bangor residents who have
set a daunting task for themselves: They want every Marine, soldier, sailor
and airman returning through the tiny international airport here to get
a hero's welcome." -By Tony Perry -LAtimes

ELECTION - "Kerry's
rivals say race still open, but voters say otherwise."
... "The three major candidates hoping to outlast one another and take
on John Kerry, the front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination,
argued Sunday that it's too early to end the race. But in contests across
the country, Democrats are indicating they disagree." ... "Saturday and
Sunday, Kerry won caucuses in Washington state, Michigan and Maine for
a season record of 10 wins, two losses." -By Jill
