that the administra- tion weighed every option before going to war in Iraq “I watched over the course of a long year as smart thoughtful people considered every option debated strategy worked hard to convince other nations that the world should present a united front" she wrote Hughes also writes that removing Saddam from power was a blow 112001 “I think more highly of the president today and of Mrs Bush than the ' sein's ties to terror" she wrote “He paid the families of suicide bombers thus encouraging young people to kill themselves and others and fostering terror and continued hatred in the Middle East" In her remarks Sunday Hughes said “we all believed” — including the Clinton administration and foreign governments — that Saddam possessed weapons of mass destruction “Every credible

of bladder cancer Two cross burning in ORLANDO Fla (AP) — Getting plenty of vitamin E by eating foods like nuts and olive oil appears to cut in half people’s risk of bladder cancer the fourth leading cancer killer among men a new study suggests The research released at a cancer conference'Sunday is the latest blip in the ups and downs of perceptions about this nutrient's powers to ward off disease Experts once had high hopes that vitamin E would prove to be an important safeguard against heart attacks But that idea eventually faded as repeated studies failed to show any protective effect Whether vitamin E does anything to stop cancer is still far from proven but some think the vitamin may be helpful perhaps by warding off the damaging effects of oxygen The strongest evidence of this so far has been against prostate cancer and a large federally sponsored experiment is under way to help prove this The new study offers a strong hint that dietary vitamin Emay also protect against bladder cancer which kills about 2500 Americans annually and is four times more common in men Wash (AP) boys turned themselves in to authorities Saturday for burning a cross at the home of a black
