Revealed: Israel plans nuclear strike on Iran

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2089-2535310,00.html
"ISRAEL has drawn up secret plans to destroy Iran’s uranium enrichment facilities with tactical nuclear weapons."
"Under the plans, conventional laser-guided bombs would open “tunnels” into the targets. “Mini-nukes” would then immediately be fired into a plant at Natanz, exploding deep underground to reduce the risk of radioactive fallout."

SUPPORT EHREN WATADA

The Court-Martial of Ehren Watada Begins
http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/010207J.shtml
"A pre-trial hearing is scheduled to take place Thursday in Tacoma, Washington, in the court-martial of Ehren Watada, the 28-year-old Army lieutenant who is the first commissioned officer to publicly refuse to deploy to Iraq on the basis that the war is illegal."

"I hated to leave my troops, but something had to be done to stop this insanity," he said. "How could I order men to die for something I believe is wrong? Wearing the uniform is not, and is never, an excuse."

Ehren Watada is not a coward. He represents what should be the shining standard of America (but, unfortunately, is not).

Kudos! Kudos!

No. 1 hero! Commuter saves teen who fell on Manhattan subway
"An 18-year-old man had some kind of medical problem Tuesday and fell onto the tracks, which are a few feet below platform level, police said. Wesley Autrey saw him fall, jumped down onto the tracks after him and rolled with him into the rut between the rails as a southbound train was coming in."

Wesley Autrey, you give us hope for mankind!
