<CENTER>AN E-LIBRARY OR LEARNING RESOURCE CENTER</CENTER> The "Piracy Deterrence and Education Act of 2003"


The "Piracy Deterrence and Education Act of 2003" is legislation that the FBI believes is the first step toward eliminating the illegal practice of sharing copyrighted material. The bill orders the FBI to develop a deterrence program and facilitate information sharing among law enforcement agencies, Internet service providers and copyright owners of information. We agree that the FBI must work together with the private sector, and we agree that education and deterrence are the first two moves in this war on intellectual property theft. We hope you will be pleased to know that the FBI has been working on this problem for quite some time. The FBI and the Recording Industry Association of America are now in the final stages of completing a Memorandum of Understanding regarding the FBI Intellectual Property Rights Warning Program. This MOU allows for the Recording Industry's use of the FBI seal in the same way that it has been used as a warning on videotapes, DVDs and movies for years. We have also drafted a document titled: "An Open Letter Regarding Illegal Uses and Vulnerabilities Associated with Peer to Peer Networks." This document will serve as the first step in educating users and parents of users of peer to peer networks. We will distribute this document nationwide, and it will be posted on the FBI's website. The letter leave no doubt as to the illegality of sharing copyrighted works without authorization and distributing child pornography or obscene material over the internet. The letter also addresses the vulnerabilities exposed when using P2P networks. Investigation of intellectual property rights violations is only a small part of what the Cyber Division is charged with accomplishing. The FBI is in a unique position to respond to cyber crimes, because it is the only Federal agency that has the statutory authority, expertise, and ability to combine the counterterrorism, counterintelligence, and criminal resources needed to effectively neutralize, mitigate, and disrupt illegal computer-supported operations.




Who Will Try Iraqi War Criminals?


In his speech to the nation Monday, President Bush promised that Iraqi war criminals would be tried and punished�but he didn't specify which criminals or in which court they would be tried. Which Iraqis will be tried, and who will judge them?



The answers depend largely on the outcome of the war, once it's clear who's still alive to stand trial. Most experts agree that war-crimes trials will be limited to indictments against a small fraction of the thousands of likely suspects, since wiping out Iraq's government infrastructure (on top of its economic and military infrastructure) will make it that much harder to build a new state. In fact, the U.S. government has kept its official list of Iraqi war criminals extremely short, even though hundreds of officials have been implicated in the use of chemical weapons against Iraqi Kurds in 1988. It's likely that only the top echelons of the military will be tried�perhaps 50 people, perhaps more, depending on who you ask and whether or not local commanders fight. (If they surrender, they might escape prosecution.) For the invading Americans, "who" is tried is almost less important than "how," because these trials give the United States a much-needed chance to exhibit fairness and restraint after initiating a war. Possible trial venues include: International Criminal Court: This one can probably be ruled out�neither the U.S. nor Iraq ever agreed to it. Ironically, it might be legally possible to try British or Australian troops in the ICC for war crimes if they commit any atrocities, since their nations are signatories. U.N. ad hoc tribunal: This is a special international court that has to be mandated by the Security Council�recent examples include courts created to try war criminals from the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda. Considering the intense misgivings fellow Security Council members like France and Russia have about the war, it is unlikely that the United States will ask them to create a tribunal. And even if they did, there's another snag if the blue helmets show up�no U.N. court can sentence a war criminal to death. U.S. federal courts: Under the War Crimes Act of 1996, war crimes by or against U.S. citizens can be prosecuted in American federal courts. This option also seems unlikely, however, because many of the crimes likely to be prosecuted involve Iraqi officials assaulting their own citizens. Local Iraqi courts: These might do for small-fry Baath loyalists. After all, the United States will be trying to create a respectable criminal justice system in Iraq, and war criminals would provide useful fodder to get things rolling. But it's unlikely that any of the regime's kingpins would face a local court, since there would be too many opportunities for political skullduggery and old allegiances to taint the process. Hybrid courts: All the rage since their success in Sierra Leone, hybrid courts bring together a combination of local and international jurists. The idea is to mix the grass-roots appeal of civil courts with the respectability and fence-mending powers of international courts. This option also allows the United States to involve European jurists without having to go through the United Nations. The flexibility of a hybrid court will be attractive to post-Iraq planners not because of its appeal to international justice but because it will allow the United States to better trade amnesty for information while still satisfying world opinion. Say the United States invades Iraq and raids all the bunkers and palaces but doesn't find weapons of mass destruction or Saddam Hussein. In that case, the post-war administration's first priority will be to pump Iraq's surviving officials for information�a process that could carry over to war crimes courts. If you're wondering what war crimes are, Explainer has covered this before. Next question?

                                        �I kind of felt sorry for them,� said one U.S. military official, speaking to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity. �A lot of them looked hungry. They haven�t been fed in a while.� He spoke after U.S. Marines and their allies took control of the strategic port city of Umm Qasr and with it, Iraq�s access to the Persian Gulf. The outclassed Iraqis fought with small arms, pistols, machine guns and rocket-propelled grenades. Authorities said the nation�s southern oil fields would be secured by day�s end. At the same time, the Army�s 3rd Infantry Division surged 100 miles into Iraq. Much more was to come � an extraordinary land-based juggernaut of allied weaponry and troops was caught in an enormous traffic jam in Kuwait, ready to strike when it could cross the border. SOME RESISTANCE There were pockets of resistance, some of it stiff; a second combat death was reported Friday, a member of the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force who was wounded while battling a platoon of Iraqi infantry. But often, the opponent advanced with a white flag in hand instead of a rifle. Within a few hours of crossing into southern Iraq, the 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit encountered 200 or more Iraqi troops seeking to surrender. One group of 40 Iraqis marched down a two-lane road toward the Americans and gave up. Another group of Iraqi soldiers alongside a road waved a white flag and their raised hands, trying to flag down a group of journalists so they could surrender. Forty to 50 Iraqi soldiers surrendered to a Marine traffic control unit. They came down the road in the open back of a troop vehicle, their hands in the air for about a mile before they reached the Marines. Their decision to give up the fight was not unexpected, or unprompted; for months, Iraq has been bombarded with messages from the Americans, urging its soldiers to refuse to fight.

                                        � In the battle zone � Iraq interactive library � Targets in Iraq � Target Baghdad � Urban warfare � Allied deployments � The 1991 oil fires � Tools of warfare � Scuds and Arrows � World Reax � NBC: Video reports from the field � Complete coverage: Conflict with Iraq At a Pentagon news conference Friday, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld called on Iraq�s military to �do the honorable thing, stop fighting that you may live to enjoy a free Iraq, where you and your children can grow and prosper.� How many Iraqis had surrendered? No one knew for sure. Rumsfeld said he knew of a few hundred, and others who just quit fighting. �A lot of people just leave and melt into the countryside,� he said. In Baghdad, however, an Iraqi military spokesman denied there had been any large-scale surrender. �The 51st Army Division is still fighting the invading troops ferociously and courageously and inflicting upon the enemy forces the ugliest losses,� he said, reading a statement on Iraqi television Saturday. GROUND ADVANCE FASTER THAN PLANNED Rumsfeld said the allied forces were advancing and now controlled �a growing portion of the country of Iraq.� The captured territory included two airfields in western Iraq. The ground advance into Iraq appeared to be moving faster than planned. Units reached locations in Iraq 24 hours ahead of their expected arrival time, according to several reporters attached to those units. The Army�s 3rd Infantry Division was following a path through the desert west of the Euphrates River, avoiding populated areas. It appeared that strategists sought to minimize civilian and military casualties by flanking most Iraqi units and going straight for the Republican Guard around Baghdad. The bulk of the allied force hadn�t even entered Iraq yet. 'Target: Iraq' on MSNBC TV All day, all night coverage � MSNBC brings you live coverage of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Tom Brokaw and Lester Holt anchor, with reports from Peter Arnett in Baghdad. There was a huge traffic jam at the border - thousands of vehicles parked in parallel rows, nothing but columns of trucks, Humvees, oil tankers, flatbed tucks, armored vehicles and vehicles of every stripe, from horizon to horizon. The traffic was so bad that it took 6� hours for one unit to go 51 miles, in swirling dust. Crossing the border Friday morning, the 3rd Battalion of the 7th Marine Infantry faced little resistance. Tanks attached to the battalion attacked five Iraqi tanks just north of the border, destroying them easily. TAKING SAFWAN The battalion passed the brown, stone rubble of several buildings it had shelled just minutes before � the air still held the acrid smell of explosives � and at least five enormous pictures of a smiling Saddam Hussein, some with him wearing a robe, others with him in a headscarf, that stood intact at the border post. They reached the town of Safwan, where speakers warned Iraqis to stay out of the Marines� way. A few ventured outside: A man on the side of the road bearing a white flag. Another in a long, gray robe, prostrate on the ground, apparently in prayer. �I never thought I�d see this place,� said Cpl. Matt Nale, 31, of Seattle, Wash. He stuck his head out of the top of an Amtrack armored personnel carrier, looked around, smiled and repeatedly nodded with wonder. The Marines later took control of positions mostly abandoned by Iraq�s 32nd Mechanized Infantry Brigade, blowing up a few abandoned tanks and armored personnel carriers and engaging in short firefights with a few Iraqi soldiers who had stayed back to defend their headquarters and barracks or were unable to flee in time.

                                                                                  WASHINGTON (CNN) -- U.S. military planners are devising strategies in case the Iraqi military causes the Tigris River to flood, the Pentagon said Friday. If the Iraqi military were to release water into the Tigris from upstream reservoirs, extensive flooding could occur between Baghdad and Kut, to the south, the Pentagon said. Thousands of Iraqis could be displaced, adding to congestion on roads and requiring extensive humanitarian support. The Pentagon said Iraq used flooding to deter Iranian advances during the Iran-Iraq War.
                                                                                  "Iraq's strategy could include releasing a small amount of water from major dams and canals to interrupt maneuvering units," said a U.S. statement released early Friday. "Iraq also could cause catastrophic flooding of portions of the Tigris and Euphrates river valleys, either by releasing large amounts of water from dams or by destroying them." Although the latter could cause "major humanitarian crises in parts of Iraq, Baghdad would experience minimal damage," the statement said. Parts of southern Iraq routinely flood in March and April because of heavy rainfall and snow melting in the north. Some areas that are already under water could be impassable for four to six weeks, even without additional flooding, the Pentagon said. "The [Saddam] Hussein regime could incorporate the flooding into defensive preparations to slow the advance of coalition forces," the Pentagon said. "This tactic could force coalition units or displaced persons through flooded areas." Primary water sources for such "strategic flooding" are the Qadisiyah Dam and its Hadiyha Reservoir, the Pentagon said. Additionally, the release of water from five reservoirs -- Saddam, Dokan, Al Azim, Darbandikhan and Diyala -- could increase the flow rate of the Tigris. The rainy season is already expected to raise water levels in these dams, the Pentagon said.

Non-Iraqis fleeing from Iraq will be sheltered here, and already Thursday several dozen Sudanese workers and their families were huddling in the tents, which were being whipped by winds of 30 to 35 mph. The border area has been swept by sandstorms for the past three days. A second camp, for Iraqis, was being constructed a few miles away. Reporters visiting the border area Thursday morning found it was open, but the Jordanian military quickly ordered journalists to move away, saying a six-mile zone around the border was closed to the press. U.S. missiles hit buildings in Baghdad Iraq says civilian buildings hit, civilian killed U.S.-led forces launch ground assault Iraqi oil wells on fire White House urges Saddam to go into exile Downed U.S. helicopter returns to air U.S. sources: "Shock and awe" assault yet to come That zone includes a Jordanian military base that has been extensively renovated by the United States in recent weeks. An estimated 300 to 400 U.S. troops are at the base, officially to engage in search-and-rescue missions for downed allied pilots. � In the battle zone � Iraq interactive library � Targets in Iraq � Target Baghdad � Urban warfare � Allied deployments � The 1991 oil fires � Tools of warfare � Scuds and Arrows � World Reax � NBC: Video reports from the field � Complete coverage: Conflict with Iraq Read more dispatches from NBC News correspondents But most people here assume that the group also includes U.S. special operations forces moving into Western Iraq to search for Scud missiles, like those that were fired from this area in 1991 against Israel. ROAD FROM BAGHDAD BOMBED Some of the people who made the five-hour trip from Baghdad to Jordan Thursday said they saw evidence that the road and a fuel depot about 100 miles west of Baghdad had been bombed. Passengers on a bus said they had to drive around craters in the pavement. And several people reported seeing bodies at the fuel depot, including that of a Jordanian truck driver. Although the station is used by civilians, it could also be used by Iraqi forces moving west from Baghdad into the desert. Officials of the Red Crescent said the two refugee camps they are constructing should be adequate for 30,000 to 50,000 people, and could with difficulty handle as many as 100,000. But if the refugee population is much larger, as it was during the 1991 war, they say they would be overwhelmed.
                                                                                      Refugees will be given a blanket, a mattress, medicine and a box lunch, but it will be several days before a kitchen can be set up. Wells were drilled for water, but it was too salty, so desalination gear was brought in. Authorities say a ticket office will be set up for non-Iraqi refugees, so as many as possible can purchase transportation back to their home countries. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Leaders worried and lamented, protesters condemned and demonstrated, friends of the United States proclaimed that it was ugly but sadly necessary. There was just one key difference Thursday: This time, military action in Iraq wasn�t just a possibility. It was becoming real. Muslim leaders in Asia condemned the U.S. attack and said Americans would pay. A response from the 30-million-strong moderate Muhammadiyah Muslim group in Indonesia came within minutes of the United States and Britain launching attacks on Iraq. �This is not an attack on Islam but an attack on humanity,� said Syafii Maarif, head of the organization. Latest on the military moves Deputy Malaysian Defense Minister Shafie Apdal told Reuters in Parliament that he feared reprisals by Iraqi sympathizers in other countries. Murid Timasaen, spokesman for Thailand�s Muslims for Peace Group, said Americans would never live in peace again. �They have attracted more enemies than ever, not only from the Muslim world, but also from the Buddhist community,� he said. �Countries like Iraq don�t have the capacity to fight the Americans in a conventional war, so more terrorist means will be deployed against the Americans.� JAPAN, PHILIPPINES BACK ATTACK Two Asian countries that have been supportive of the U.S. tough position on Iraq stepped in to reiterate their support. Philippine President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo said Manila was giving political and moral support for actions to rid Iraq of weapons of mass destruction. �The Philippines is part of the coalition of the willing� Arroyo said in a speech to graduates of the Philippine Military Academy. �We are giving political and moral support for actions to rid Iraq of weapons of mass destruction.� � Complete MSNBC coverage � Latest military developments � Kurds fleeing, again � Q &A with Peter Arnett � Top defector disappears � Video coverage from NBC � Blog: Army family's journal � Encarta: Detailed Iraq map � WashPost: Special coverage Latest from Newsweek � Zakaria: Arrogant empire � Waiting with the troops Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi, putting a security alliance with the United States ahead of public opinion, reiterated his moral support for Washington on Thursday after the start of a U.S.-led attack on Iraq. �At this time... I understand, and I support the start of the use of force by the United States,� Koizumi told a news conference about an hour after Bush announced the start of the attack. Japanese troops, however, will not be fighting alongside U.S. forces. Japan�s postwar, pacifist constitution renounces war as a means of settling international disputes. � Daily updates on Iraq action Thailand said it wanted no part in the war. �But we are ready to help rehabilitate (Iraq) after the fighting, up to the extent of our resources,� Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra said. �At this stage, we hope the war casualties will be confined only to military targets and not on civilians.� China said the action against Iraq was �violating the norms of international behavior.� Germany expressed �great concern and consternation� that its anti-war diplomacy with France and Russia had failed; it immediately turned attention to the aftermath � and offered help dealing with the humanitarian consequences. �Soon the United States will have to reap the fruits of what they are doing now, and the fruits won�t be sweet,� Russian legislator Vladimir Lukin, a former ambassador to Washington, told Russia�s state-controlled ORT television. � Deployments

Security Council �not acceptable.� �The ongoing war must not result in the marginalization of the United Nations,� she said. The United States and close ally Britain on Monday gave up trying to win the backing of the U.N. Security Council for a new resolution authorizing the use of force against Iraq, arguing that they already were within their rights to launch an invasion. In November, the Security Council had voted unanimously for a tough resolution that called on Iraq to disarm or face �serious consequences.� Several months of weapons inspections, however, were inconclusive, and key members of the council stood resolutely opposed to military action.

An American-led invasion force of 300,000 troops awaited the order to strike. AP Photo AP Photo Slideshow: Iraq and Saddam Hussein Baghdad Residents Brace for Impending War (AP Video)

                                                                                          U.S. and British forces massed in the Kuwaiti desert close to the Iraqi border, giant B-52 warplanes were loaded with bombs and Tomahawk missile-carrying ships were in position, all awaiting an attack order from Bush. The deadline came at 8 p.m. EST, which was 4 a.m. Thursday in Baghdad, its population shrunken in recent days by an exodus of thousands of fearful residents. "The disarmament of the Iraqi regime will begin at a time of the president's choosing," said his press secretary, Ari Fleischer (news - web sites), moments after 8 p.m. "The American people are ready for the disarmament of Saddam Hussein. They understand what's at stake. The military is ready, the nation is ready and the cause is just." Just after the deadline, White House chief of staff Andrew Card informed the president that intelligence officials had no information that Saddam had left Iraq. Saddam's regime gave every appearance of digging in. In the minutes after the deadline, Iraqi TV showed footage of a pro-Saddam march Tuesday in Baghdad, with members of the crowd chanting pro-Saddam slogans, some brandishing rifles and carrying pictures of Saddam. "We are dedicated to martyrdom in defense of Iraq under your leadership," a loyal Iraqi parliament assured the Iraqi dictator, and armed members of the ruling Baath party deployed behind hundreds of sandbagged defensive positions in Baghdad. Even so, 17 Iraqi soldiers surrendered to American GIs during the day, eager to give up before the shooting started. Bush met periodically throughout the day with his top aides at the White House and sent formal notice to Congress that reliance on "further diplomatic and other peaceful means alone" would not suffice to counter "the continuing threat posed by Iraq." Fleischer, said the nation "ought to be prepared for the loss" of American lives once the military effort begins to depose Saddam and recover weapons of mass destruction. Aides said the commander in chief would decide on timing based on the advice of his military commanders. More than 25 protesters were arrested outside the White House, part of a larger group of demonstrators that chanted, banged drums and carried signs that read, "Stop the War on Iraq." It seemed unlikely in the extreme. Along with the U.S.-led force approaching 300,000 troops massed in the Persian Gulf region were 1,000 combat aircraft and five aircraft carrier battle groups. The United States claims the public and private support of 45 other nations in a coalition to topple Saddam. But only Britain, with about 40,000 troops, was making a sizable contribution to the military force. In a run-up to war, U.S. aircraft also dropped nearly 2 million leaflets over southern Iraq with a variety of messages, including, for the first time, instructions to Iraqi troops on how to capitulate to avoid being killed. Hundreds of miles away, at an air base in England, crews loaded bombs aboard giant B-52 combat aircraft. Apart from the desire to capture weapons of mass destruction, Bush's submission to Congress said a military attack could lead to the discovery of information that would allow the apprehension of terrorists living in the United States. An attack, it said, "is a vital part of the international war on terrorism." Despite deep divisions at the United Nations (news - web sites), Bush also claimed "the authority � indeed, given the dangers involved, the duty � to use force against Iraq to protect the security of the American people and to compel compliance with United Nations resolutions." The diplomatic wheels turned still at the United Nations where foreign ministers were meeting in the Security Council at the request of the French and Germans, prominent critics of the American military operation. "This is a sad day for the United Nations," said the organization's secretary general, Kofi Annan (news - web sites) said. "I know that millions of people around the world share this sense of disappointment and are deeply alarmed." Bush abandoned diplomacy on Monday, and administration officials blamed French intransigence for the lack of consensus on a new Security Council resolution that would have given Saddam an ultimatum. The signs of imminent conflict were abundant. Israel ordered its citizens to start carrying their gas masks to work and to school. And hundreds of Israeli residents fled Tel Aviv, fearful that Iraq would launch missiles against their seaside city, as happened in the 1991 Persian Gulf War (news - web sites). Royal Jordanian � the only commercial airline with regularly scheduled flights to Baghdad � said it was canceling them in anticipation of war. And Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak (news - web sites) offered a dual-edged analysis. He blamed Iraq for the approaching military conflict. But he also said he hoped that "different international forces will realize the dangerous repercussions of any military action on the safety and stability of the Middle East region." Another country in the region, Bahrain, publicly offered exile to Saddam "in a dignified manner that should not be seen as undermining Iraq's position and capabilities." "It's the last-hour chance and we hope that Iraq will accept this offer to avoid war," Information Minister Nabil al-Hamer told The Associated Press. Exile for the Iraqi leader "is absolutely unthinkable," said Saadoon Hammadi, speaker of Iraq's parliament. "He will be in front of everyone. He will fight and guide our country to victory." 'Defining moment' dawns on America By Rick Hampson USA TODAY On a day when Americans should have been waiting for spring, they waited for war. As President Bush's deadline for Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein ticked closer, Tuesday rituals -- weekly play dates and poker games, Bible study and baseball practice -- went on. Meanwhile, a page in history was about to turn. Eddie Hannigan, 73, spent the morning attaching American flags to the white wooden fence lining his driveway off a country road in Fallbrook, Calif. His wife was out buying yellow ribbons to tie to the flagpole. ''Woke up this morning and the wife said, 'I think we should put out the flag,' '' said Hannigan, who fought in the 1950-53 Korean War. ''It's a private driveway. No one can stop me. But the neighbors all thought it was a good idea. I don't like war, but I support our troops.'' People were reminded of the lull after another presidential ultimatum on Iraq a dozen years ago. But this time they knew, through painful experience, that war isn't something that always happens somewhere else. ''This seems more real than the first Gulf War,'' said Mary Clark, 52, a New York state employee who was passing Ground Zero in Lower Manhattan. ''It was like watching a movie. It's still just as far away, but now we have threats on our own soil. It feels like part of the battlefield, for this war is going to be here at home.'' On the other side of the continent, a man fishing in the choppy Pacific off Oceanside, Calif., agreed. ''I feel absolutely certain that we will suffer destruction from terrorist attacks,'' said Les Hite, 61, an avocado grower. ''I hope we don't look back on this day and say that's when we could have done things differently.'' To many, the country seemed to have set off on a road with no turning back. Mike Lance, 24, a New York marketing assistant, called it ''a defining moment.'' Some embraced it. Parents and teachers from the Heights Christian School in Los Angeles said they gave no thought to canceling a school trip to Washington, D.C. ''It's great,'' said Carolyn Litchfield, as she toured the Capitol. ''We're here in the middle of history.'' After months of waiting, some people said battle would come as a relief. ''Let's just get this war over with already,'' Clark said. ''I'm so frustrated about how we keep hanging on edge about this.'' In Marion, Ind., Nanette Weesner tied the 32nd yellow ribbon -- one for every day her son has been stationed with the Army in the Persian Gulf -- on the staircase in her apartment. She said she hopes that whatever happens, ''it'll happen fast, and the troops come home.'' In Hinesville, Ga., location of Fort Stewart, one resident said the civilians in town are almost eager for war. ''They want to get it on and get it over with,'' said Marion Adams, 56, ''because it's messing up their business.'' Bob Dickinson, president of Carnival Cruise Lines, said Bush's speech actually helped travelers make plans. ''It's been a kind of limbo we've been in the last couple months. Now people who have delayed making travel plans can get back to normal,'' Dickinson said. Meanwhile, Americans stocked up on emergency supplies, lit votive candles and gave blood. A few took to the streets on Tuesday in protest and in support of attacking Iraq -- mothers of soldiers wearing yellow ribbons and mothers against war wearing pink ones. To some, it felt like a rerun of 1991: the international antagonists, the internal divisions, the economic worries, the concern about terrorism, the signs saying ''No Blood for Oil.'' But there were differences. This time, fast-food deliveries already have been banned at the New York Stock Exchange. The airport metal detectors already have been fine-tuned. Office workers already are wearing their ID badges. This time, Mr. Rogers will not be around to record messages to reassure children. Some voices from around the nation: * A truck stop in Racine, Wis. Rich Reis, 44, a trucker from Hanover Park, Ill., said he has had doubts for weeks about the war. He's a Navy veteran with two sons who also served in the military. Reis' son-in-law is on a Navy vessel with 600 Marines in the Gulf. He has been there for months and has never seen his second son, who was born in December. Reis still isn't sure Iraq poses any serious threat beyond the missiles it has destroyed. He hasn't seen what he calls ''hard-core'' proof. ''Give me something to grab a hold of if you are going to put my sons' lives on the line,'' he said. But Reis also thinks it's too late too argue: ''We can't wait any more. My feeling, if we go to war -- when we go to war --is win it. Win. Don't play. Win.'' * A coffee house in Denver A storm that dumped about 3 feet of snow made the war the No. 2 news story on Denver TV. ''It's all about the snow,'' said Reb Ryan, manager and co-owner of Buzz Fill 'Er Up Cafe. ''People here right now are focused on getting through this storm.'' She closed her business at mid-morning for lack of business. Those who did drop in talked about war. ''Sixty percent are saying, 'This is crazy. I can't believe we're doing this,' '' Ryan said. ''But I have quite a few cops who come through, and they're all gung-ho for it.'' In the days before the storm, she noticed a drop-off in sales of lattes, cappuccinos and espressos. ''I think people are not looking for luxuries,'' she said. By the time the president went on TV, ''people were all on edge. They didn't want to hang out here. They wanted to go somewhere so they could watch the news.'' * A terminal at LAX The tension was palpable in the Delta Air Lines baggage claim area at Los Angeles International Airport. ''Now that it's here, I fear that the end of the world is here,'' said Joanne Drake, 68, who was arriving home from a trip to Orlando with her daughter and grandchildren. ''We're all going to be in danger from biological and chemical weapons. I'm very fearful, but I don't think we have any other choice. We can't let Saddam keep going and going.'' ''I'm afraid of everything,'' said Mandy Park, 30, a health care worker visiting from Canada with her gray tomcat. But if Saddam is ''feeding into terrorism,'' she said, ''he has to be taken care of.'' * An anti-war group in St. Louis For Woody Powell, 70, it was a day to mourn for peace and prepare for war. The executive director of Veterans for Peace fielded phone calls and e-mails while helping to organize a demonstration in Washington on Saturday. When the war begins, he said, he'll head to a military recruiting station in St. Louis to try to talk young people out of signing up. Powell said he had enlisted in the Air Force during the Korean War, ''full of patriotic fervor and the urge to prove myself as a man, and full of all the fears of inadequacy.'' ''The experience of war is not a natural one for human beings, and it does unnatural things to their psyches,'' he said. ''There are other ways to prove yourself as a human being.''

                                                                                          * A sidewalk near Ground Zero There was optimism. ''It will not be bloody,'' predicted Stephanie Baker, 36, a customer service manager from Boston. And there was pessimism. ''Gas prices will go up. Stock prices will go down,'' said Allison Vanderbrul, 21, an undergraduate at the State University of New York-New Paltz. ''People will be afraid to invest. International relations with the U.S. will get worse. International investors won't invest. It's not going to bounce back quickly.'' Alex Woods, 21, a University of Arizona undergraduate from Tucson, said it was all beyond him. ''Basically, I don't really know what's going on,'' he said. ''I hope our leaders know more than we do. I'm hoping they are making the right decisions.''

Controversy has arisen over the al-Samoud Two missile, which has travelled up to 112 miles (180 km) in tests. In response to requests by UN inspectors, Iraq has begun destroying some of its stock of 120 of these. Analysts also believe Iraq may have some banned missiles, although inspectors have not found any. These are believed to include a small number of 400-mile (644 km) range al-Hussein missiles, which would be capable of striking Israel, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Iran and Kuwait. Iraq is also thought by some analysts to have 15 to 80 Scud B missiles with a range of 185 miles. Neither of these is very effective at dispersing chemical or biological weapons, according to the International Institute for Strategic Studies. The 560-mile (902 km) range al-Abbas missile was developed more than 10 years ago from earlier Scud types, but it is not clear whether it reached operational status. Iraq does not have the facilities to build long-range missiles and would require several years and foreign assistance to do this.

Top Stories - Reuters U.S. Bombards Iraqi Units with Calls to Surrender Tue Mar 18,12:03 PM ET Add Top Stories - Reuters to My Yahoo! By Charles Aldinger WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. military is bombarding military units in the south of Iraq (news - web sites) with leaflets, broadcasts and e-mails urging them to surrender rather than oppose a looming invasion, U.S. officials said on Tuesday. Reuters Photo AP Photo Slideshow: U.S. Military Build-Up U.S. Infantry Shows Off Powerful Tanks in Kuwait (AP Video) U.S. Military Hardware Unloads in Turkey (AP Video) Latest news: � U.S. Commanders Rechecking War Plans AP - 16 minutes ago � U.S. Faces Unknowns if It Heads to War AP - 1 hour, 32 minutes ago � Relations Among U.S. Religions at a Low AP - 1 hour, 51 minutes ago Special Coverage Speaking after President Bush (news - web sites) gave Iraqi President Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) a 48-hour deadline to leave or face war, the officials told Reuters there had been "scattered" signs of some success in the surrender initiative, but declined to give specifics. The U.S. Central Command said from its Gulf military headquarters in Qatar that 1.4 million leaflets were dumped on Iraq on Monday in the biggest drop to date in a months-long psychological warfare campaign of broadcasts and air drops. The intention, officials in Washington said, was in large measure to persuade Iraqi forces in the south to stand aside when U.S.-led forces sweep north from Kuwait toward the oil fields around the southern oil center of Basra en route to the capital of Baghdad. "Indications are very scattered, but I would say positive," said one official who asked not to be identified. Defense officials have said instructions being given to Iraqi forces were very specific, including telling them to leave their tanks with their turrets reversed and to abandon vehicles in the open while returning to barracks. The officials refused to detail the Iraqi responses but noted cautiously that Saddam's elite and hard-line Republican Guards units were stationed further north near Baghdad. AWAITING INVASION ORDER Of the 280,000 U.S. and British troops arrayed in the Gulf against Iraq, 175,000 are in Kuwait awaiting orders from Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair (news - web sites) to launch a massive air and ground invasion to remove Saddam and destroy alleged stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons. U.S. defense officials and private analysts say one of the first objectives of an invasion would be to overwhelm regular army units and take Basra only about 40 miles from the Kuwait border as tens of thousands of U.S. and British forces sweep northward. Basra is 340 miles southeast of Baghdad. At Camp As Sayliyah in Qatar, battle headquarters of the Central Command, a crewman from a U.S. C-130 Special Operations aircraft broadcasting messages into Iraq said the programs use music to capture attention of Iraqi listeners, then follow with information slamming Saddam and touting the nobility of the Western cause, all leading to a main point -- do not fight the invaders. "We call ourselves the weapons of mass persuasion," the crewman, identified only as Lt. Col. Mike, told reporters.

                                                                                                          But in Washington, U.S. defense officials also told Reuters there had been growing signs that Iraq was preparing to use chemical and biological weapons against invading troops and to destroy its own oil fields. "Some trenches dug in the south could be quickly filled with oil and set afire to delay any advance," said one U.S. official. "They might just blast rigs and blame it on us." At the Pentagon (news - web sites), one official confirmed a Washington Post report from Kuwait that the U.S. military was trying to negotiate "capitulation agreements" with Iraqi commanders under which enemy troops would turn over most of their weapons and return to their barracks rather than be taken prisoners of war. The advantage of such a move, which would allow Iraqi commanders to keep their sidearms, would be to alleviate the advancing American and British forces or the burden of keeping tens of thousands of prisoners while speeding northward.

AFP Photo A US officer here had earlier said 15 Iraqi soldiers had surrendered, while the state KUNA news agency, quoting a Kuwaiti military source, put the number at 16. The military source who spoke to AFP on condition of anonymity said the 18 had crossed the border in two batches -- the first comprising two border guards and the second 16.
                                                                                                                                The US officer earlier said the 15 Iraqis who turned themselves in to US troops had been handed over to Kuwaiti police. They were handed over after laying down their arms and giving up, said Captain Darrin Theriault, headquarters company commander of the First Brigade of the US Army's Third Infantry Division. The surrenders, at about 1500 GMT, came as a 48-hour ultimatum given by President George W. Bush (news - web sites) to Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) to leave his country by early Thursday or face a massive attack was running out. "We anticipate more (surrenders) as this continues to develop," Theriault told AFP. He stressed that the Kuwaiti police had custody of the Iraqi soldiers and "no enemy prisoners of war are under US control." The United States and Britain have some 280,000 troops mustered in the region readying an invasion of Iraq (news - web sites) after Saddam rejected Bush's warning to quit the country. About 174,000 are in Kuwait.

AFP Photo The warplanes struck at least seven locations over a 10 hour period as the clock ran on a US deadline for Iraqi President Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) and his two sons to leave the country or face war. US and British officials said the strikes were within the scope of normal enforcement of a no-fly zone over southern Iraq, and the US Central Command said they were launched in response to Iraqi anti-aircraft artillery fire. But the strikes targeted 10 artillery systems that had been moved last week into range of US and British forces massing in Kuwait for a ground offensive as well as a surface-to-surface missile system, a US defense official said. The Central Command said long range artillery were struck at Az Zubayr and in the Al Faw peninsula, and a surface-to surface missile system near Basra. Warplanes also bombed a traffic control radar near Basra and communications sites near Ash Shuaybah, Mydaysis and Ruwayshid in southern Iraq. "The artillery was struck because they were a danger to coalition ground troops in Kuwait," the command said. "The air traffic control radar was used to direct Iraqi anti-aircraft artillery fire at coalition aircraft." In western Iraq, they targeted a radar and an air defense command center near the H-3 airfield that defends the approaches to Baghdad from Jordan, the command said. "The coalition executed today's strikes after Iraqi forces fired anti-aircraft artillery at coalition aircraft patrolling the southern no-fly zone south of the 33rd parallel in Iraq," the command said. In London, a spokeswoman for the British Defence Ministry said, "We are flying over southern Iraq. This evening we are targeting systems which are a threat to our forces." "We have been doing this for the last 10 years. It's the same as we've been doing, but obviously the time is perhaps more relevant," the official said.

"I am clear that the United Nations (news - web sites) must be centrally involved" not just in humanitarian relief as the war rages, but in rebuilding Iraq after the guns fall silent, he told a Downing Street press conference. Blair said he leave Wednesday after his mid-day question period in the House of Commons for Washington, from where he would immediately go to Bush's retreat at Camp David, Maryland for talks Wednesday night and Thursday. Later Thursday, he said, he would go to New York to see Annan, before flying back to London. "I will see president Bush at Camp David to discuss not just the military campaign but also the diplomatic implications of recent events for the future -- in particular how we get America and Europe working again together as partners and not as rivals," Blair said. The snap war summit would also "assess the best way of dealing with the humanitarian crisis in Iraq... how we rebuild Iraq post-Saddam, and also, of course, our approach to the Middle East peace process." Blair has been Bush's staunchest ally in the showdown with Iraqi President Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) over weapons of mass destruction, sending 45,000 soldiers, sailors and airmen, 120 tanks, a naval task force and 100-plus warplanes to join the US-led war. Opposition among Britons to war clearly appeared to be waning on day six of the fighting, with a poll in the Guardian newspaper Tuesday suggesting that 54 percent approved of a military attack to oust Saddam. On February 14, the figure had been 52 percent against. Britain suffered its second known combat fatality Monday when a member of Scotland's famed Black Watch regiment was killed in fighting near al-Zubayr, southwest of Basra. The first British soldier to die, a member of the Royal Tank Regiment, was killed in the same area Sunday, and two remain listed as missing. Fourteen other Britons died in two helicopter accidents, and two airmen perished when their Tornado bomber was hit by a US missile. Coalition commanders say Iraqi "irregulars" loyal to Saddam have been resisting British forces around Basra, but Blair insisted Tuesday that, overall, the invasion is going to plan. "It's precisely what you'd expect... These people are going to fight," he said, adding: "We have the forces that we need to do the job." In his first press conference since Bush launched the war Thursday with a volley of air strikes, Blair pledged that, unlike in the 1991 war to free Kuwait, the US-led coalition would not let the Iraqi people down. "My message to them is that this time we will not let you down. Saddam and his regime will be removed. Iraq will have a better future," the prime minsiter said. Warning the British people that the war is far from over, Blair said US, British and other forces would face "resistance all the way to the end of this campaign." "It will take time and perseverance and the continuing skill and dedication and professionalism of our armed forces to break it down," he said.

At his monthly news conference ahead of the assault on troop positions in the southern Iraqi city, Mr Blair said the military campaign had already achieved a "huge amount". He pledged: "Saddam Hussein and his regime will be removed. Iraq will have a better future ahead of it." Mr Blair said the Iraqi people were wary of rising up against Saddam Hussein's regime after the failure to remove the dictator following the Gulf War in 1991. He was speaking after fierce resistance from paramilitaries in Basra claimed a second British soldier's life. And coalition forces continued to advance on Baghdad - although delayed by fierce sandstorms - where they were expecting to meet extremely strong military opposition. Mr Blair also confirmed that he will fly to meet US President George Bush on Wednesday. The prime minister's spokesman said the discussions would centre on Iraq post-Saddam rather than on military strategy which had already been decided. Mr Blair is also due to hold talks with UN Secretary General Kofi Annan on Thursday. LATEST FROM NEWSWEEK � Special war section � Q&A on smart weapons Who Will Try Iraqi War Criminals? By Ed Finn Posted Wednesday, March 19, 2003, at 3:19 PM PT
                                                                                                                                                                                                              In his speech to the nation Monday, President Bush promised that Iraqi war criminals would be tried and punished�but he didn't specify which criminals or in which court they would be tried. Which Iraqis will be tried, and who will judge them? The answers depend largely on the outcome of the war, once it's clear who's still alive to stand trial. Most experts agree that war-crimes trials will be limited to indictments against a small fraction of the thousands of likely suspects, since wiping out Iraq's government infrastructure (on top of its economic and military infrastructure) will make it that much harder to build a new state. In fact, the U.S. government has kept its official list of Iraqi war criminals extremely short, even though hundreds of officials have been implicated in the use of chemical weapons against Iraqi Kurds in 1988. It's likely that only the top echelons of the military will be tried�perhaps 50 people, perhaps more, depending on who you ask and whether or not local commanders fight. (If they surrender, they might escape prosecution.) For the invading Americans, "who" is tried is almost less important than "how," because these trials give the United States a much-needed chance to exhibit fairness and restraint after initiating a war. Possible trial venues include: International Criminal Court: This one can probably be ruled out�neither the U.S. nor Iraq ever agreed to it. Ironically, it might be legally possible to try British or Australian troops in the ICC for war crimes if they commit any atrocities, since their nations are signatories. U.N. ad hoc tribunal: This is a special international court that has to be mandated by the Security Council�recent examples include courts created to try war criminals from the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda. Considering the intense misgivings fellow Security Council members like France and Russia have about the war, it is unlikely that the United States will ask them to create a tribunal. And even if they did, there's another snag if the blue helmets show up�no U.N. court can sentence a war criminal to death. U.S. federal courts: Under the War Crimes Act of 1996, war crimes by or against U.S. citizens can be prosecuted in American federal courts. This option also seems unlikely, however, because many of the crimes likely to be prosecuted involve Iraqi officials assaulting their own citizens. Local Iraqi courts: These might do for small-fry Baath loyalists. After all, the United States will be trying to create a respectable criminal justice system in Iraq, and war criminals would provide useful fodder to get things rolling. But it's unlikely that any of the regime's kingpins would face a local court, since there would be too many opportunities for political skullduggery and old allegiances to taint the process. Hybrid courts: All the rage since their success in Sierra Leone, hybrid courts bring together a combination of local and international jurists. The idea is to mix the grass-roots appeal of civil courts with the respectability and fence-mending powers of international courts. This option also allows the United States to involve European jurists without having to go through the United Nations. The flexibility of a hybrid court will be attractive to post-Iraq planners not because of its appeal to international justice but because it will allow the United States to better trade amnesty for information while still satisfying world opinion. Say the United States invades Iraq and raids all the bunkers and palaces but doesn't find weapons of mass destruction or Saddam Hussein. In that case, the post-war administration's first priority will be to pump Iraq's surviving officials for information�a process that could carry over to war crimes courts.

They haven�t been fed in a while.� He spoke after U.S. Marines and their allies took control of the strategic port city of Umm Qasr and with it, Iraq�s access to the Persian Gulf. The outclassed Iraqis fought with small arms, pistols, machine guns and rocket-propelled grenades. Authorities said the nation�s southern oil fields would be secured by day�s end. At the same time, the Army�s 3rd Infantry Division surged 100 miles into Iraq. Much more was to come � an extraordinary land-based juggernaut of allied weaponry and troops was caught in an enormous traffic jam in Kuwait, ready to strike when it could cross the border. SOME RESISTANCE There were pockets of resistance, some of it stiff; a second combat death was reported Friday, a member of the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force who was wounded while battling a platoon of Iraqi infantry. But often, the opponent advanced with a white flag in hand instead of a rifle. Within a few hours of crossing into southern Iraq, the 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit encountered 200 or more Iraqi troops seeking to surrender. One group of 40 Iraqis marched down a two-lane road toward the Americans and gave up. Another group of Iraqi soldiers alongside a road waved a white flag and their raised hands, trying to flag down a group of journalists so they could surrender. Forty to 50 Iraqi soldiers surrendered to a Marine traffic control unit. They came down the road in the open back of a troop vehicle, their hands in the air for about a mile before they reached the Marines. Their decision to give up the fight was not unexpected, or unprompted; for months, Iraq has been bombarded with messages from the Americans, urging its soldiers to refuse to fight. � In the battle zone � Iraq interactive library � Targets in Iraq � Target Baghdad � Urban warfare

No one knew for sure. Rumsfeld said he knew of a few hundred, and others who just quit fighting. �A lot of people just leave and melt into the countryside,� he said. In Baghdad, however, an Iraqi military spokesman denied there had been any large-scale surrender. �The 51st Army Division is still fighting the invading troops ferociously and courageously and inflicting upon the enemy forces the ugliest losses,� he said, reading a statement on Iraqi television Saturday.

The ground advance into Iraq appeared to be moving faster than planned. Units reached locations in Iraq 24 hours ahead of their expected arrival time, according to several reporters attached to those units. The Army�s 3rd Infantry Division was following a path through the desert west of the Euphrates River, avoiding populated areas. It appeared that strategists sought to minimize civilian and military casualties by flanking most Iraqi units and going straight for the Republican Guard around Baghdad. The bulk of the allied force hadn�t even entered Iraq yet. 'Target: Iraq' on MSNBC TV All day, all night coverage � MSNBC brings you live coverage of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Tom Brokaw and Lester Holt anchor, with reports from Peter Arnett in Baghdad. There was a huge traffic jam at the border - thousands of vehicles parked in parallel rows, nothing but columns of trucks, Humvees, oil tankers, flatbed tucks, armored vehicles and vehicles of every stripe, from horizon to horizon. The traffic was so bad that it took 6� hours for one unit to go 51 miles, in swirling dust. Crossing the border Friday morning, the 3rd Battalion of the 7th Marine Infantry faced little resistance. Tanks attached to the battalion attacked five Iraqi tanks just north of the border, destroying them easily. TAKING SAFWAN The battalion passed the brown, stone rubble of several buildings it had shelled just minutes before � the air still held the acrid smell of explosives � and at least five enormous pictures of a smiling Saddam Hussein, some with him wearing a robe, others with him in a headscarf, that stood intact at the border post. They reached the town of Safwan, where speakers warned Iraqis to stay out of the Marines� way. A few ventured outside: A man on the side of the road bearing a white flag. Another in a long, gray robe, prostrate on the ground, apparently in prayer. �I never thought I�d see this place,� said Cpl. Matt Nale, 31, of Seattle, Wash. He stuck his head out of the top of an Amtrack armored personnel carrier, looked around, smiled and repeatedly nodded with wonder. The Marines later took control of positions mostly abandoned by Iraq�s 32nd Mechanized Infantry Brigade, blowing up a few abandoned tanks and armored personnel carriers and engaging in short firefights with a few Iraqi soldiers who had stayed back to defend their headquarters and barracks or were unable to flee in time.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              WASHINGTON (CNN) -- U.S. military planners are devising strategies in case the Iraqi military causes the Tigris River to flood, the Pentagon said Friday. If the Iraqi military were to release water into the Tigris from upstream reservoirs, extensive flooding could occur between Baghdad and Kut, to the south, the Pentagon said. Thousands of Iraqis could be displaced, adding to congestion on roads and requiring extensive humanitarian support. The Pentagon said Iraq used flooding to deter Iranian advances during the Iran-Iraq War.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              "Iraq's strategy could include releasing a small amount of water from major dams and canals to interrupt maneuvering units," said a U.S. statement released early Friday. "Iraq also could cause catastrophic flooding of portions of the Tigris and Euphrates river valleys, either by releasing large amounts of water from dams or by destroying them." Although the latter could cause "major humanitarian crises in parts of Iraq, Baghdad would experience minimal damage," the statement said. Parts of southern Iraq routinely flood in March and April because of heavy rainfall and snow melting in the north. Some areas that are already under water could be impassable for four to six weeks, even without additional flooding, the Pentagon said. "The [Saddam] Hussein regime could incorporate the flooding into defensive preparations to slow the advance of coalition forces," the Pentagon said. "This tactic could force coalition units or displaced persons through flooded areas." Primary water sources for such "strategic flooding" are the Qadisiyah Dam and its Hadiyha Reservoir, the Pentagon said. Additionally, the release of water from five reservoirs -- Saddam, Dokan, Al Azim, Darbandikhan and Diyala -- could increase the flow rate of the Tigris. The rainy season is already expected to raise water levels in these dams, the Pentagon said.

Non-Iraqis fleeing from Iraq will be sheltered here, and already Thursday several dozen Sudanese workers and their families were huddling in the tents, which were being whipped by winds of 30 to 35 mph. The border area has been swept by sandstorms for the past three days. A second camp, for Iraqis, was being constructed a few miles away. Reporters visiting the border area Thursday morning found it was open, but the Jordanian military quickly ordered journalists to move away, saying a six-mile zone around the border was closed to the press.

ROAD FROM BAGHDAD BOMBED Some of the people who made the five-hour trip from Baghdad to Jordan Thursday said they saw evidence that the road and a fuel depot about 100 miles west of Baghdad had been bombed. Passengers on a bus said they had to drive around craters in the pavement. And several people reported seeing bodies at the fuel depot, including that of a Jordanian truck driver. Although the station is used by civilians, it could also be used by Iraqi forces moving west from Baghdad into the desert. Officials of the Red Crescent said the two refugee camps they are constructing should be adequate for 30,000 to 50,000 people, and could with difficulty handle as many as 100,000. But if the refugee population is much larger, as it was during the 1991 war, they say they would be overwhelmed.

Wells were drilled for water, but it was too salty, so desalination gear was brought in. Authorities say a ticket office will be set up for non-Iraqi refugees, so as many as possible can purchase transportation back to their home countries. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Leaders worried and lamented, protesters condemned and demonstrated, friends of the United States proclaimed that it was ugly but sadly necessary. There was just one key difference Thursday: This time, military action in Iraq wasn�t just a possibility. It was becoming real. Muslim leaders in Asia condemned the U.S. attack and said Americans would pay. A response from the 30-million-strong moderate Muhammadiyah Muslim group in Indonesia came within minutes of the United States and Britain launching attacks on Iraq. �This is not an attack on Islam but an attack on humanity,� said Syafii Maarif, head of the organization. Latest on the military moves Deputy Malaysian Defense Minister Shafie Apdal told Reuters in Parliament that he feared reprisals by Iraqi sympathizers in other countries. Murid Timasaen, spokesman for Thailand�s Muslims for Peace Group, said Americans would never live in peace again. �They have attracted more enemies than ever, not only from the Muslim world, but also from the Buddhist community,� he said. �Countries like Iraq don�t have the capacity to fight the Americans in a conventional war, so more terrorist means will be deployed against the Americans.� JAPAN, PHILIPPINES BACK ATTACK Two Asian countries that have been supportive of the U.S. tough position on Iraq stepped in to reiterate their support. Philippine President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo said Manila was giving political and moral support for actions to rid Iraq of weapons of mass destruction. �The Philippines is part of the coalition of the willing� Arroyo said in a speech to graduates of the Philippine Military Academy. �We are giving political and moral support for actions to rid Iraq of weapons of mass destruction.� � Complete MSNBC coverage � Latest military developments � Kurds fleeing, again � Q &A with Peter Arnett � Top defector disappears � Video coverage from NBC � Blog: Army family's journal � Encarta: Detailed Iraq map � WashPost: Special coverage Latest from Newsweek � Zakaria: Arrogant empire � Waiting with the troops Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi, putting a security alliance with the United States ahead of public opinion, reiterated his moral support for Washington on Thursday after the start of a U.S.-led attack on Iraq. �At this time... I understand, and I support the start of the use of force by the United States,� Koizumi told a news conference about an hour after Bush announced the start of the attack. Japanese troops, however, will not be fighting alongside U.S. forces. Japan�s postwar, pacifist constitution renounces war as a means of settling international disputes. � Daily updates on Iraq action Thailand said it wanted no part in the war. �But we are ready to help rehabilitate (Iraq) after the fighting, up to the extent of our resources,� Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra said. �At this stage, we hope the war casualties will be confined only to military targets and not on civilians.� China said the action against Iraq was �violating the norms of international behavior.� Germany expressed �great concern and consternation� that its anti-war diplomacy with France and Russia had failed; it immediately turned attention to the aftermath � and offered help dealing with the humanitarian consequences. �Soon the United States will have to reap the fruits of what they are doing now, and the fruits won�t be sweet,� Russian legislator Vladimir Lukin, a former ambassador to Washington, told Russia�s state-controlled ORT television. � Deployments

Security Council �not acceptable.� �The ongoing war must not result in the marginalization of the United Nations,� she said. The United States and close ally Britain on Monday gave up trying to win the backing of the U.N. Security Council for a new resolution authorizing the use of force against Iraq, arguing that they already were within their rights to launch an invasion. In November, the Security Council had voted unanimously for a tough resolution that called on Iraq to disarm or face �serious consequences.� Several months of weapons inspections, however, were inconclusive, and key members of the council stood resolutely opposed to military action.

An American-led invasion force of 300,000 troops awaited the order to strike. AP Photo AP Photo Slideshow: Iraq and Saddam Hussein Baghdad Residents Brace for Impending War (AP Video) Latest news: � France, Others: Attack on Iraq Illegal AP - 18 minutes ago � Baghdad Streets Empty As Deadline Passes AP - 43 minutes ago � Air Force: U.S. Assault Will Stun Iraqis AP - 2 hours, 37 minutes ago Special Coverage U.S. and British forces massed in the Kuwaiti desert close to the Iraqi border, giant B-52 warplanes were loaded with bombs and Tomahawk missile-carrying ships were in position, all awaiting an attack order from Bush. The deadline came at 8 p.m. EST, which was 4 a.m. Thursday in Baghdad, its population shrunken in recent days by an exodus of thousands of fearful residents. "The disarmament of the Iraqi regime will begin at a time of the president's choosing," said his press secretary, Ari Fleischer (news - web sites), moments after 8 p.m. "The American people are ready for the disarmament of Saddam Hussein. They understand what's at stake. The military is ready, the nation is ready and the cause is just." Just after the deadline, White House chief of staff Andrew Card informed the president that intelligence officials had no information that Saddam had left Iraq. Saddam's regime gave every appearance of digging in. In the minutes after the deadline, Iraqi TV showed footage of a pro-Saddam march Tuesday in Baghdad, with members of the crowd chanting pro-Saddam slogans, some brandishing rifles and carrying pictures of Saddam. "We are dedicated to martyrdom in defense of Iraq under your leadership," a loyal Iraqi parliament assured the Iraqi dictator, and armed members of the ruling Baath party deployed behind hundreds of sandbagged defensive positions in Baghdad. Even so, 17 Iraqi soldiers surrendered to American GIs during the day, eager to give up before the shooting started. Bush met periodically throughout the day with his top aides at the White House and sent formal notice to Congress that reliance on "further diplomatic and other peaceful means alone" would not suffice to counter "the continuing threat posed by Iraq." Fleischer, said the nation "ought to be prepared for the loss" of American lives once the military effort begins to depose Saddam and recover weapons of mass destruction. Aides said the commander in chief would decide on timing based on the advice of his military commanders. More than 25 protesters were arrested outside the White House, part of a larger group of demonstrators that chanted, banged drums and carried signs that read, "Stop the War on Iraq." It seemed unlikely in the extreme. Along with the U.S.-led force approaching 300,000 troops massed in the Persian Gulf region were 1,000 combat aircraft and five aircraft carrier battle groups. The United States claims the public and private support of 45 other nations in a coalition to topple Saddam. But only Britain, with about 40,000 troops, was making a sizable contribution to the military force. In a run-up to war, U.S. aircraft also dropped nearly 2 million leaflets over southern Iraq with a variety of messages, including, for the first time, instructions to Iraqi troops on how to capitulate to avoid being killed. Hundreds of miles away, at an air base in England, crews loaded bombs aboard giant B-52 combat aircraft. Apart from the desire to capture weapons of mass destruction, Bush's submission to Congress said a military attack could lead to the discovery of information that would allow the apprehension of terrorists living in the United States. An attack, it said, "is a vital part of the international war on terrorism." Despite deep divisions at the United Nations (news - web sites), Bush also claimed "the authority � indeed, given the dangers involved, the duty � to use force against Iraq to protect the security of the American people and to compel compliance with United Nations resolutions." The diplomatic wheels turned still at the United Nations where foreign ministers were meeting in the Security Council at the request of the French and Germans, prominent critics of the American military operation. "This is a sad day for the United Nations," said the organization's secretary general, Kofi Annan (news - web sites) said. "I know that millions of people around the world share this sense of disappointment and are deeply alarmed." Bush abandoned diplomacy on Monday, and administration officials blamed French intransigence for the lack of consensus on a new Security Council resolution that would have given Saddam an ultimatum. The signs of imminent conflict were abundant. Israel ordered its citizens to start carrying their gas masks to work and to school. And hundreds of Israeli residents fled Tel Aviv, fearful that Iraq would launch missiles against their seaside city, as happened in the 1991 Persian Gulf War (news - web sites). Royal Jordanian � the only commercial airline with regularly scheduled flights to Baghdad � said it was canceling them in anticipation of war. And Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak (news - web sites) offered a dual-edged analysis. He blamed Iraq for the approaching military conflict. But he also said he hoped that "different international forces will realize the dangerous repercussions of any military action on the safety and stability of the Middle East region." Another country in the region, Bahrain, publicly offered exile to Saddam "in a dignified manner that should not be seen as undermining Iraq's position and capabilities." "It's the last-hour chance and we hope that Iraq will accept this offer to avoid war," Information Minister Nabil al-Hamer told The Associated Press. Exile for the Iraqi leader "is absolutely unthinkable," said Saadoon Hammadi, speaker of Iraq's parliament. "He will be in front of everyone. He will fight and guide our country to victory." 'Defining moment' dawns on America By Rick Hampson USA TODAY On a day when Americans should have been waiting for spring, they waited for war. As President Bush's deadline for Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein ticked closer, Tuesday rituals -- weekly play dates and poker games, Bible study and baseball practice -- went on. Meanwhile, a page in history was about to turn. Eddie Hannigan, 73, spent the morning attaching American flags to the white wooden fence lining his driveway off a country road in Fallbrook, Calif. His wife was out buying yellow ribbons to tie to the flagpole. ''Woke up this morning and the wife said, 'I think we should put out the flag,' '' said Hannigan, who fought in the 1950-53 Korean War. ''It's a private driveway. No one can stop me. But the neighbors all thought it was a good idea. I don't like war, but I support our troops.'' People were reminded of the lull after another presidential ultimatum on Iraq a dozen years ago. But this time they knew, through painful experience, that war isn't something that always happens somewhere else. ''This seems more real than the first Gulf War,'' said Mary Clark, 52, a New York state employee who was passing Ground Zero in Lower Manhattan. ''It was like watching a movie. It's still just as far away, but now we have threats on our own soil. It feels like part of the battlefield, for this war is going to be here at home.'' On the other side of the continent, a man fishing in the choppy Pacific off Oceanside, Calif., agreed. ''I feel absolutely certain that we will suffer destruction from terrorist attacks,'' said Les Hite, 61, an avocado grower. ''I hope we don't look back on this day and say that's when we could have done things differently.'' To many, the country seemed to have set off on a road with no turning back. Mike Lance, 24, a New York marketing assistant, called it ''a defining moment.'' Some embraced it. Parents and teachers from the Heights Christian School in Los Angeles said they gave no thought to canceling a school trip to Washington, D.C. ''It's great,'' said Carolyn Litchfield, as she toured the Capitol. ''We're here in the middle of history.'' After months of waiting, some people said battle would come as a relief. ''Let's just get this war over with already,'' Clark said. ''I'm so frustrated about how we keep hanging on edge about this.'' In Marion, Ind., Nanette Weesner tied the 32nd yellow ribbon -- one for every day her son has been stationed with the Army in the Persian Gulf -- on the staircase in her apartment. She said she hopes that whatever happens, ''it'll happen fast, and the troops come home.'' In Hinesville, Ga., location of Fort Stewart, one resident said the civilians in town are almost eager for war. ''They want to get it on and get it over with,'' said Marion Adams, 56, ''because it's messing up their business.'' Bob Dickinson, president of Carnival Cruise Lines, said Bush's speech actually helped travelers make plans. ''It's been a kind of limbo we've been in the last couple months. Now people who have delayed making travel plans can get back to normal,'' Dickinson said. Meanwhile, Americans stocked up on emergency supplies, lit votive candles and gave blood. A few took to the streets on Tuesday in protest and in support of attacking Iraq -- mothers of soldiers wearing yellow ribbons and mothers against war wearing pink ones. To some, it felt like a rerun of 1991: the international antagonists, the internal divisions, the economic worries, the concern about terrorism, the signs saying ''No Blood for Oil.'' But there were differences. This time, fast-food deliveries already have been banned at the New York Stock Exchange. The airport metal detectors already have been fine-tuned. Office workers already are wearing their ID badges. This time, Mr. Rogers will not be around to record messages to reassure children. Some voices from around the nation: * A truck stop in Racine, Wis. Rich Reis, 44, a trucker from Hanover Park, Ill., said he has had doubts for weeks about the war. He's a Navy veteran with two sons who also served in the military. Reis' son-in-law is on a Navy vessel with 600 Marines in the Gulf. He has been there for months and has never seen his second son, who was born in December. Reis still isn't sure Iraq poses any serious threat beyond the missiles it has destroyed. He hasn't seen what he calls ''hard-core'' proof. ''Give me something to grab a hold of if you are going to put my sons' lives on the line,'' he said. But Reis also thinks it's too late too argue: ''We can't wait any more. My feeling, if we go to war -- when we go to war --is win it. Win. Don't play. Win.'' * A coffee house in Denver A storm that dumped about 3 feet of snow made the war the No. 2 news story on Denver TV. ''It's all about the snow,'' said Reb Ryan, manager and co-owner of Buzz Fill 'Er Up Cafe. ''People here right now are focused on getting through this storm.'' She closed her business at mid-morning for lack of business. Those who did drop in talked about war. ''Sixty percent are saying, 'This is crazy. I can't believe we're doing this,' '' Ryan said. ''But I have quite a few cops who come through, and they're all gung-ho for it.'' In the days before the storm, she noticed a drop-off in sales of lattes, cappuccinos and espressos. ''I think people are not looking for luxuries,'' she said. By the time the president went on TV, ''people were all on edge. They didn't want to hang out here. They wanted to go somewhere so they could watch the news.'' * A terminal at LAX The tension was palpable in the Delta Air Lines baggage claim area at Los Angeles International Airport. ''Now that it's here, I fear that the end of the world is here,'' said Joanne Drake, 68, who was arriving home from a trip to Orlando with her daughter and grandchildren. ''We're all going to be in danger from biological and chemical weapons. I'm very fearful, but I don't think we have any other choice. We can't let Saddam keep going and going.'' ''I'm afraid of everything,'' said Mandy Park, 30, a health care worker visiting from Canada with her gray tomcat. But if Saddam is ''feeding into terrorism,'' she said, ''he has to be taken care of.'' * An anti-war group in St. Louis For Woody Powell, 70, it was a day to mourn for peace and prepare for war. The executive director of Veterans for Peace fielded phone calls and e-mails while helping to organize a demonstration in Washington on Saturday. When the war begins, he said, he'll head to a military recruiting station in St. Louis to try to talk young people out of signing up. Powell said he had enlisted in the Air Force during the Korean War, ''full of patriotic fervor and the urge to prove myself as a man, and full of all the fears of inadequacy.'' ''The experience of war is not a natural one for human beings, and it does unnatural things to their psyches,'' he said. ''There are other ways to prove yourself as a human being.''

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      * A sidewalk near Ground Zero There was optimism. ''It will not be bloody,'' predicted Stephanie Baker, 36, a customer service manager from Boston. And there was pessimism. ''Gas prices will go up. Stock prices will go down,'' said Allison Vanderbrul, 21, an undergraduate at the State University of New York-New Paltz. ''People will be afraid to invest. International relations with the U.S. will get worse. International investors won't invest. It's not going to bounce back quickly.'' Alex Woods, 21, a University of Arizona undergraduate from Tucson, said it was all beyond him. ''Basically, I don't really know what's going on,'' he said. ''I hope our leaders know more than we do. I'm hoping they are making the right decisions.''

Controversy has arisen over the al-Samoud Two missile, which has travelled up to 112 miles (180 km) in tests. In response to requests by UN inspectors, Iraq has begun destroying some of its stock of 120 of these. Analysts also believe Iraq may have some banned missiles, although inspectors have not found any. These are believed to include a small number of 400-mile (644 km) range al-Hussein missiles, which would be capable of striking Israel, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Iran and Kuwait. Iraq is also thought by some analysts to have 15 to 80 Scud B missiles with a range of 185 miles. Neither of these is very effective at dispersing chemical or biological weapons, according to the International Institute for Strategic Studies. The 560-mile (902 km) range al-Abbas missile was developed more than 10 years ago from earlier Scud types, but it is not clear whether it reached operational status. Iraq does not have the facilities to build long-range missiles and would require several years and foreign assistance to do this.

Top Stories - Reuters U.S. Bombards Iraqi Units with Calls to Surrender Tue Mar 18,12:03 PM ET Add Top Stories - Reuters to My Yahoo! By Charles Aldinger WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. military is bombarding military units in the south of Iraq (news - web sites) with leaflets, broadcasts and e-mails urging them to surrender rather than oppose a looming invasion, U.S. officials said on Tuesday. Reuters Photo AP Photo Slideshow: U.S. Military Build-Up U.S. Infantry Shows Off Powerful Tanks in Kuwait (AP Video) U.S. Military Hardware Unloads in Turkey (AP Video) Latest news: � U.S. Commanders Rechecking War Plans AP - 16 minutes ago � U.S. Faces Unknowns if It Heads to War AP - 1 hour, 32 minutes ago � Relations Among U.S. Religions at a Low AP - 1 hour, 51 minutes ago Special Coverage Speaking after President Bush (news - web sites) gave Iraqi President Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) a 48-hour deadline to leave or face war, the officials told Reuters there had been "scattered" signs of some success in the surrender initiative, but declined to give specifics. The U.S. Central Command said from its Gulf military headquarters in Qatar that 1.4 million leaflets were dumped on Iraq on Monday in the biggest drop to date in a months-long psychological warfare campaign of broadcasts and air drops. The intention, officials in Washington said, was in large measure to persuade Iraqi forces in the south to stand aside when U.S.-led forces sweep north from Kuwait toward the oil fields around the southern oil center of Basra en route to the capital of Baghdad. "Indications are very scattered, but I would say positive," said one official who asked not to be identified. Defense officials have said instructions being given to Iraqi forces were very specific, including telling them to leave their tanks with their turrets reversed and to abandon vehicles in the open while returning to barracks. The officials refused to detail the Iraqi responses but noted cautiously that Saddam's elite and hard-line Republican Guards units were stationed further north near Baghdad. AWAITING INVASION ORDER Of the 280,000 U.S. and British troops arrayed in the Gulf against Iraq, 175,000 are in Kuwait awaiting orders from Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair (news - web sites) to launch a massive air and ground invasion to remove Saddam and destroy alleged stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons. U.S. defense officials and private analysts say one of the first objectives of an invasion would be to overwhelm regular army units and take Basra only about 40 miles from the Kuwait border as tens of thousands of U.S. and British forces sweep northward. Basra is 340 miles southeast of Baghdad. At Camp As Sayliyah in Qatar, battle headquarters of the Central Command, a crewman from a U.S. C-130 Special Operations aircraft broadcasting messages into Iraq said the programs use music to capture attention of Iraqi listeners, then follow with information slamming Saddam and touting the nobility of the Western cause, all leading to a main point -- do not fight the invaders. "We call ourselves the weapons of mass persuasion," the crewman, identified only as Lt. Col. Mike, told reporters.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      But in Washington, U.S. defense officials also told Reuters there had been growing signs that Iraq was preparing to use chemical and biological weapons against invading troops and to destroy its own oil fields. "Some trenches dug in the south could be quickly filled with oil and set afire to delay any advance," said one U.S. official. "They might just blast rigs and blame it on us." At the Pentagon (news - web sites), one official confirmed a Washington Post report from Kuwait that the U.S. military was trying to negotiate "capitulation agreements" with Iraqi commanders under which enemy troops would turn over most of their weapons and return to their barracks rather than be taken prisoners of war. The advantage of such a move, which would allow Iraqi commanders to keep their sidearms, would be to alleviate the advancing American and British forces or the burden of keeping tens of thousands of prisoners while speeding northward.

AFP Photo A US officer here had earlier said 15 Iraqi soldiers had surrendered, while the state KUNA news agency, quoting a Kuwaiti military source, put the number at 16. The military source who spoke to AFP on condition of anonymity said the 18 had crossed the border in two batches -- the first comprising two border guards and the second 16.

They were handed over after laying down their arms and giving up, said Captain Darrin Theriault, headquarters company commander of the First Brigade of the US Army's Third Infantry Division. The surrenders, at about 1500 GMT, came as a 48-hour ultimatum given by President George W. Bush (news - web sites) to Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) to leave his country by early Thursday or face a massive attack was running out. "We anticipate more (surrenders) as this continues to develop," Theriault told AFP. He stressed that the Kuwaiti police had custody of the Iraqi soldiers and "no enemy prisoners of war are under US control." The United States and Britain have some 280,000 troops mustered in the region readying an invasion of Iraq (news - web sites) after Saddam rejected Bush's warning to quit the country. About 174,000 are in Kuwait.

AFP Photo The warplanes struck at least seven locations over a 10 hour period as the clock ran on a US deadline for Iraqi President Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) and his two sons to leave the country or face war. US and British officials said the strikes were within the scope of normal enforcement of a no-fly zone over southern Iraq, and the US Central Command said they were launched in response to Iraqi anti-aircraft artillery fire. But the strikes targeted 10 artillery systems that had been moved last week into range of US and British forces massing in Kuwait for a ground offensive as well as a surface-to-surface missile system, a US defense official said. The Central Command said long range artillery were struck at Az Zubayr and in the Al Faw peninsula, and a surface-to surface missile system near Basra. Warplanes also bombed a traffic control radar near Basra and communications sites near Ash Shuaybah, Mydaysis and Ruwayshid in southern Iraq. "The artillery was struck because they were a danger to coalition ground troops in Kuwait," the command said. "The air traffic control radar was used to direct Iraqi anti-aircraft artillery fire at coalition aircraft." In western Iraq, they targeted a radar and an air defense command center near the H-3 airfield that defends the approaches to Baghdad from Jordan, the command said. "The coalition executed today's strikes after Iraqi forces fired anti-aircraft artillery at coalition aircraft patrolling the southern no-fly zone south of the 33rd parallel in Iraq," the command said. In London, a spokeswoman for the British Defence Ministry said, "We are flying over southern Iraq. This evening we are targeting systems which are a threat to our forces." "We have been doing this for the last 10 years. It's the same as we've been doing, but obviously the time is perhaps more relevant," the official said.

"I am clear that the United Nations (news - web sites) must be centrally involved" not just in humanitarian relief as the war rages, but in rebuilding Iraq after the guns fall silent, he told a Downing Street press conference. Blair said he leave Wednesday after his mid-day question period in the House of Commons for Washington, from where he would immediately go to Bush's retreat at Camp David, Maryland for talks Wednesday night and Thursday. Later Thursday, he said, he would go to New York to see Annan, before flying back to London. "I will see president Bush at Camp David to discuss not just the military campaign but also the diplomatic implications of recent events for the future -- in particular how we get America and Europe working again together as partners and not as rivals," Blair said. The snap war summit would also "assess the best way of dealing with the humanitarian crisis in Iraq... how we rebuild Iraq post-Saddam, and also, of course, our approach to the Middle East peace process." Blair has been Bush's staunchest ally in the showdown with Iraqi President Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) over weapons of mass destruction, sending 45,000 soldiers, sailors and airmen, 120 tanks, a naval task force and 100-plus warplanes to join the US-led war. Opposition among Britons to war clearly appeared to be waning on day six of the fighting, with a poll in the Guardian newspaper Tuesday suggesting that 54 percent approved of a military attack to oust Saddam. On February 14, the figure had been 52 percent against. Britain suffered its second known combat fatality Monday when a member of Scotland's famed Black Watch regiment was killed in fighting near al-Zubayr, southwest of Basra. The first British soldier to die, a member of the Royal Tank Regiment, was killed in the same area Sunday, and two remain listed as missing. Fourteen other Britons died in two helicopter accidents, and two airmen perished when their Tornado bomber was hit by a US missile. Coalition commanders say Iraqi "irregulars" loyal to Saddam have been resisting British forces around Basra, but Blair insisted Tuesday that, overall, the invasion is going to plan. "It's precisely what you'd expect... These people are going to fight," he said, adding: "We have the forces that we need to do the job." In his first press conference since Bush launched the war Thursday with a volley of air strikes, Blair pledged that, unlike in the 1991 war to free Kuwait, the US-led coalition would not let the Iraqi people down. "My message to them is that this time we will not let you down. Saddam and his regime will be removed. Iraq will have a better future," the prime minsiter said. Warning the British people that the war is far from over, Blair said US, British and other forces would face "resistance all the way to the end of this campaign." "It will take time and perseverance and the continuing skill and dedication and professionalism of our armed forces to break it down," he said.

At his monthly news conference ahead of the assault on troop positions in the southern Iraqi city, Mr Blair said the military campaign had already achieved a "huge amount". He pledged: "Saddam Hussein and his regime will be removed. Iraq will have a better future ahead of it." Mr Blair said the Iraqi people were wary of rising up against Saddam Hussein's regime after the failure to remove the dictator following the Gulf War in 1991. He was speaking after fierce resistance from paramilitaries in Basra claimed a second British soldier's life. And coalition forces continued to advance on Baghdad - although delayed by fierce sandstorms - where they were expecting to meet extremely strong military opposition. Mr Blair also confirmed that he will fly to meet US President George Bush on Wednesday. The prime minister's spokesman said the discussions would centre on Iraq post-Saddam rather than on military strategy which had already been decided. Mr Blair is also due to hold talks with UN Secretary General Kofi Annan on Thursday. LATEST FROM NEWSWEEK � Special war section � Q&A on smart weapons Who Will Try Iraqi War Criminals?

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          In his speech to the nation Monday, President Bush promised that Iraqi war criminals would be tried and punished�but he didn't specify which criminals or in which court they would be tried. Which Iraqis will be tried, and who will judge them? The answers depend largely on the outcome of the war, once it's clear who's still alive to stand trial. Most experts agree that war-crimes trials will be limited to indictments against a small fraction of the thousands of likely suspects, since wiping out Iraq's government infrastructure (on top of its economic and military infrastructure) will make it that much harder to build a new state. In fact, the U.S. government has kept its official list of Iraqi war criminals extremely short, even though hundreds of officials have been implicated in the use of chemical weapons against Iraqi Kurds in 1988. It's likely that only the top echelons of the military will be tried�perhaps 50 people, perhaps more, depending on who you ask and whether or not local commanders fight. (If they surrender, they might escape prosecution.) For the invading Americans, "who" is tried is almost less important than "how," because these trials give the United States a much-needed chance to exhibit fairness and restraint after initiating a war. Possible trial venues include: International Criminal Court: This one can probably be ruled out�neither the U.S. nor Iraq ever agreed to it. Ironically, it might be legally possible to try British or Australian troops in the ICC for war crimes if they commit any atrocities, since their nations are signatories. U.N. ad hoc tribunal: This is a special international court that has to be mandated by the Security Council�recent examples include courts created to try war criminals from the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda. Considering the intense misgivings fellow Security Council members like France and Russia have about the war, it is unlikely that the United States will ask them to create a tribunal. And even if they did, there's another snag if the blue helmets show up�no U.N. court can sentence a war criminal to death. U.S. federal courts: Under the War Crimes Act of 1996, war crimes by or against U.S. citizens can be prosecuted in American federal courts. This option also seems unlikely, however, because many of the crimes likely to be prosecuted involve Iraqi officials assaulting their own citizens. Local Iraqi courts: These might do for small-fry Baath loyalists. After all, the United States will be trying to create a respectable criminal justice system in Iraq, and war criminals would provide useful fodder to get things rolling. But it's unlikely that any of the regime's kingpins would face a local court, since there would be too many opportunities for political skullduggery and old allegiances to taint the process. Hybrid courts: All the rage since their success in Sierra Leone, hybrid courts bring together a combination of local and international jurists. The idea is to mix the grass-roots appeal of civil courts with the respectability and fence-mending powers of international courts. This option also allows the United States to involve European jurists without having to go through the United Nations. The flexibility of a hybrid court will be attractive to post-Iraq planners not because of its appeal to international justice but because it will allow the United States to better trade amnesty for information while still satisfying world opinion. Say the United States invades Iraq and raids all the bunkers and palaces but doesn't find weapons of mass destruction or Saddam Hussein. In that case, the post-war administration's first priority will be to pump Iraq's surviving officials for information�a process that could carry over to war crimes courts.

They haven�t been fed in a while.� He spoke after U.S. Marines and their allies took control of the strategic port city of Umm Qasr and with it, Iraq�s access to the Persian Gulf. The outclassed Iraqis fought with small arms, pistols, machine guns and rocket-propelled grenades. Authorities said the nation�s southern oil fields would be secured by day�s end. At the same time, the Army�s 3rd Infantry Division surged 100 miles into Iraq. Much more was to come � an extraordinary land-based juggernaut of allied weaponry and troops was caught in an enormous traffic jam in Kuwait, ready to strike when it could cross the border. SOME RESISTANCE There were pockets of resistance, some of it stiff; a second combat death was reported Friday, a member of the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force who was wounded while battling a platoon of Iraqi infantry. But often, the opponent advanced with a white flag in hand instead of a rifle. Within a few hours of crossing into southern Iraq, the 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit encountered 200 or more Iraqi troops seeking to surrender. One group of 40 Iraqis marched down a two-lane road toward the Americans and gave up. Another group of Iraqi soldiers alongside a road waved a white flag and their raised hands, trying to flag down a group of journalists so they could surrender. Forty to 50 Iraqi soldiers surrendered to a Marine traffic control unit. They came down the road in the open back of a troop vehicle, their hands in the air for about a mile before they reached the Marines. Their decision to give up the fight was not unexpected, or unprompted; for months, Iraq has been bombarded with messages from the Americans, urging its soldiers to refuse to fight. � In the battle zone � Iraq interactive library � Targets in Iraq � Target Baghdad � Urban warfare � Allied deployments � The 1991 oil fires � Tools of warfare � Scuds and Arrows � World Reax � NBC: Video reports from the field � Complete coverage: Conflict with Iraq At a Pentagon news conference Friday, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld called on Iraq�s military to �do the honorable thing, stop fighting that you may live to enjoy a free Iraq, where you and your children can grow and prosper.� How many Iraqis had surrendered? No one knew for sure. Rumsfeld said he knew of a few hundred, and others who just quit fighting. �A lot of people just leave and melt into the countryside,� he said. In Baghdad, however, an Iraqi military spokesman denied there had been any large-scale surrender. �The 51st Army Division is still fighting the invading troops ferociously and courageously and inflicting upon the enemy forces the ugliest losses,� he said, reading a statement on Iraqi television Saturday. GROUND ADVANCE FASTER THAN PLANNED Rumsfeld said the allied forces were advancing and now controlled �a growing portion of the country of Iraq.� The captured territory included two airfields in western Iraq. The ground advance into Iraq appeared to be moving faster than planned. Units reached locations in Iraq 24 hours ahead of their expected arrival time, according to several reporters attached to those units. The Army�s 3rd Infantry Division was following a path through the desert west of the Euphrates River, avoiding populated areas. It appeared that strategists sought to minimize civilian and military casualties by flanking most Iraqi units and going straight for the Republican Guard around Baghdad. The bulk of the allied force hadn�t even entered Iraq yet. 'Target: Iraq' on MSNBC TV All day, all night coverage � MSNBC brings you live coverage of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Tom Brokaw and Lester Holt anchor, with reports from Peter Arnett in Baghdad. There was a huge traffic jam at the border - thousands of vehicles parked in parallel rows, nothing but columns of trucks, Humvees, oil tankers, flatbed tucks, armored vehicles and vehicles of every stripe, from horizon to horizon. The traffic was so bad that it took 6� hours for one unit to go 51 miles, in swirling dust. Crossing the border Friday morning, the 3rd Battalion of the 7th Marine Infantry faced little resistance. Tanks attached to the battalion attacked five Iraqi tanks just north of the border, destroying them easily. TAKING SAFWAN The battalion passed the brown, stone rubble of several buildings it had shelled just minutes before � the air still held the acrid smell of explosives � and at least five enormous pictures of a smiling Saddam Hussein, some with him wearing a robe, others with him in a headscarf, that stood intact at the border post. They reached the town of Safwan, where speakers warned Iraqis to stay out of the Marines� way. A few ventured outside: A man on the side of the road bearing a white flag. Another in a long, gray robe, prostrate on the ground, apparently in prayer. �I never thought I�d see this place,� said Cpl. Matt Nale, 31, of Seattle, Wash. He stuck his head out of the top of an Amtrack armored personnel carrier, looked around, smiled and repeatedly nodded with wonder. The Marines later took control of positions mostly abandoned by Iraq�s 32nd Mechanized Infantry Brigade, blowing up a few abandoned tanks and armored personnel carriers and engaging in short firefights with a few Iraqi soldiers who had stayed back to defend their headquarters and barracks or were unable to flee in time.

If the Iraqi military were to release water into the Tigris from upstream reservoirs, extensive flooding could occur between Baghdad and Kut, to the south, the Pentagon said. Thousands of Iraqis could be displaced, adding to congestion on roads and requiring extensive humanitarian support. The Pentagon said Iraq used flooding to deter Iranian advances during the Iran-Iraq War.

"Iraq also could cause catastrophic flooding of portions of the Tigris and Euphrates river valleys, either by releasing large amounts of water from dams or by destroying them." Although the latter could cause "major humanitarian crises in parts of Iraq, Baghdad would experience minimal damage," the statement said. Parts of southern Iraq routinely flood in March and April because of heavy rainfall and snow melting in the north. Some areas that are already under water could be impassable for four to six weeks, even without additional flooding, the Pentagon said. "The [Saddam] Hussein regime could incorporate the flooding into defensive preparations to slow the advance of coalition forces," the Pentagon said. "This tactic could force coalition units or displaced persons through flooded areas." Primary water sources for such "strategic flooding" are the Qadisiyah Dam and its Hadiyha Reservoir, the Pentagon said. Additionally, the release of water from five reservoirs -- Saddam, Dokan, Al Azim, Darbandikhan and Diyala -- could increase the flow rate of the Tigris. The rainy season is already expected to raise water levels in these dams, the Pentagon said.

They must be educated about the risks and benefits of surfing the Net. Some kids become endangered on-line if they are not taught the rules of "driving" on the electronic "SuperHighway". It is necessary to enhance interest and improve visual literacy in a unit by using PowerPoint slides as visuals.

Visual literacy will be enhanced. Instruction in the classroom should not be confined to verbal literacy, but should not be confined to visual literacy. Heimich, Molenda and Russel (1982, p. 11) describes visual literacy as the "learned ability to interpret visual messages accurately and to create such messages." Adams and Hamm (1989, p. 26) state that "visual literacy may have become more electronic; but from cave drawings to medieval cathedrals to children's books illustrations it has been a major communication medium." These writers also claim that teaching using visual aids helps students to focus on lessons, retain information and improve psychomotor skills. It adds interest to the class, enhances student involvement and promotes visual thinking and recall.

This is a multiple symbol system and quite a few researchers have examined the cognitive effects of pictures and text. Kozma studied works by Pressley, Schallert, Levie and Lants and found (p. 183) that the use of pictures with text increase recall, especially in poor readers. These kinds of results imply that, for some learners, the pictorial symbol systems have more meaning than the corresponding linguistic symbol system.

Mayer in 1989 and again Mayer and Gallini in 1990 examined this hypothesis. The results of these experiments showed that in order to effectively understand scientific explanations there must be a mapping between words and pictures. When verbal and visual explanations were presented together in a co-ordinated way, the creative problem-solving abilities of students were better than when separate verbal and visual explanations were used. In another experiment, Mayer and Gallini (1991) found that when narrations were given before animation, the results on problem-solving were not as good as those students who were exposed to narration with animation. Thus, their findings support Pavio's dual-coding hypothesis.

They found firstly, that both treatment groups (ie. those who were presented with visual and those with visual-verbal information) represented more information in pictorial than in verbal form.A Notes Page act as a script for the presentation.

Before putting information on a network, decisions must be made as to who will have access to what data and the level of security required. Adequate security controls must be implemented in the network software. If the network is accesible through a dial-up connection or the Internet, security concerns are multiplied. Security "firewalls" can be set up in which a single computer is directly connected to the Internet. Files are transferred between the Internet computer and network under tight security control. Not all threats to network security come from outside the organization. Procedures must be in place to protect data from theft or damage by disgruntled or terminated employees. Employees may bring in illegal copies of software and install them on their workstations, possibly making them available for others to copy. A company may then be held liable for software piracy.

The teacher functions as a facilitator responding to questions by e-mail. Each week lecture, assignments, readings, and links to related World Wide Web sites will be posted. Students can access course-work materials at any time, 24 hours per day. Technical assistance will be available via the telephone and e-mail.

Competition should be promoted too. The increasingly "friendly" nature of most computer software packages on the market make it easy for students to maintain their interest and if students are already computer-literate they will be even more anxious to learn by this method. The computer is a wonderful tool. A change in attitude can be observed as students use this tool. Students can slowly climb the literacy ladder with the assistance of technology.

In China, teacher presentation is the primary teaching method used today.

In 1975 China adopted a one-child per family policy as a birth control measure in order to check on the fast growing population.

Such an "only-child" may not know how to cooperate with their peers at school. Cooperative learning should be encouraged in China in order to prepare them for a successful life in the future. For Mao Tse-tung, education was a comprehensive process that was ideologically connected to the political and economic goals of the society he envisioned. The school system that Mao Tse-tung helped to create in the People's Republic of China emphasized the relationship between politics and education. School is indeed a miniature society.

Another option is to create the rotated text in a graphics program and then import it as a graphic.

In some situations, the impact of contored text can be very dramatic!
