Selected headlines from Reuters: Top Stories on My Yahoo: US urged to close Guantanamo N.Korea may be preparing missile launch: reports Iran now enriching home processed uranium: source Rebel attack downs key Colombia oil pipeline: army Three senior Taliban captured in Afghan clashes Egypt rejects US criticism over Nour case Saddam Hussein novel hits stores in Japan In the top story the UN is saying we are violating international law. I doubt Guantanamo is a pleasent place, but I wonder if it needs to be a high priority for the UN today. Does it violate international law to hijack an airliner filled with civilians and crash it into a building filled with more civilians?

It most certainly does, but 9-11 doesn't count because the victims were Americans. At least that is how the UN seems to see the issue. But look at thouse headlines: we have threats from North Korea, Iran, Colombia's rebel groups, the Taliban in Aghanistan, Iraq, and a disagreement with Egypt. And the world wants Bush to step down his use of the military, because WE are provoking everyone else? Give me a break! Elliot
