2008-06-08 07:28:00 Iran's United Nations delegation accused the Security Council of "emboldening" an Israeli official into threatening to attack Iran over its nuclear weapons development program, according to Iran's state-run media."The Israeli regime has been emboldened due to carelessness and silence of the Security Council," the delegation said in a letter to U.N.

Picture This: Protests
2008-06-01 07:04:00 Protesters, most supporting Hillary Clinton, gathered in Washington, DC outside of the DNC's Rules and Bylaws Committee meeting today. The group demanded all the votes from Florida and Michigan be counted and the states' full delegations be seated at the Denver convention.The crowds were no doubt disappointed by the committee's ruling, however, which gave the delegates from both states only half a vote at the convention. That result virtually eliminates Clinton's already slim chances of winning the delegates, super or otherwise, needed for the Democratic nomination. Her campaign may still take their fight to Denver.Barack Obama had urged his supporters not to protest at the event.

(For example, oil companies have exploited their market position to intentionally restrict refining capacity by driving smaller, independent refiners out of business.) Nader/Gonzalez would strictly regulate the oil industry - clamping down on speculators and enforcing the antitrust laws. Nader/Gonzalez would also revo...
