| In the months leading up to the invasion of Iraq, there had been great concern about what kind of "scorched earth" tactics Saddam Hussein might deploy against the U.S. military. U.S. News, for example, outlined some of the "Six Deadly Fears"that America might face, such as chemical or biological weapons, a bloody last stand in Baghdad, torched oil fields, or civilian human shields. |
| Wed, 15 Mar 2006 16:00:00 EST NCAA tourney time: We're mad and we're glad |
| College football may have New Year's weekend and a slew of bowl games to call its own, but college basketball has the Big Dance, Dick Vitale, and every chance to make mayhem out of March. The NCAA men's Division I tournament began last night and runs over the next three weekends in venues from San Diego to Salt Lake City, from Dallas to Detroit. To get to the Final Four in Indianapolis, a team must win four straight games, then nail an additional two to claim the championship before more than 40,000 fans. Lose and you're out. Office pool hopefuls beware: In the recent past, the four No. 1 seeds haven't all made it to the Final Four. But no Cinderella 16th seed (that's the lowest for all ye who know little of the Madness) has so far knocked off a No. 1 seed; they're 0-84 since the 64-team format was adopted in 1985. |

| Calling the judge's ruling "terribly excessive" and calling the government lawyer who prompted it a "miscreant," federal prosecutors attempted to regain the possibility of a death sentence for Zacarias Moussaoui.

| An Internet chat room, which contained "the worst imaginable forms of child pornography" has been shut down and more than two dozen people have been arrested, federal law officials announced today. Officials familiar with the investigation said they were particularly disturbed by the live webcasting of the criminal acts, and by the increasingly young ages of the victims.
