The New York Times leads with—and others front—Condoleezza Rice's unexpected visit to Iraq Sunday, where she urged the heavily Shiite government to increase the participation of Sunnis in writing the country's constitution.
what better proof do you need now that the insurgents are sunnis? include them in the power grab, and the violence will end. simple. but the greedy americans (notice i don't capitalize the 'a' for those who demonstrate very un-American traits) didn't what to share.
The Washington Post leads with allegations that Russian officials made millions of dollars from the U.N. oil-for-food program; the Russians allegedly sold oil that Saddam Hussein allowed them to buy at a reduced price. USA Today leads with different U.N. news: Kofi Annan's warning to the White House that the Security Council may deadlock if asked to penalize Iran for its nuclear program. In an interview with the paper, the secretary-general indicated that Russia and China—both economically tied to Iran—would veto any push to sanction the country, though the Bush administration and Britain are pushing for Iran to be brought before the council.
the lines in the sand are getting drawn. russia, china, iran vs united states & britain.
The Los Angeles Times' top nonlocal story debates whether Pakistan knew the full extent of the secret life of its top nuclear scientist, who is now thought to have masterminded the sale of nuclear equipment to Iran and North Korea.
pakistan's insistance that it had no part in khan's dealings is preposterous. that bush would call musarraf a friend of America makes me ill. but i guess, dictators like other dictators.
anyway, i would hope you'll hop on over to slate's today's papers, and find you'll do it each and every day.
