The two I's

While we are still fighting (the almost three year) war in Iraq, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is still making threats. He says that their nuclear technology is for medicine, economy and industry. However, he is continuing to threaten that if the US violates the rights of Iranians, their nuclear program policy will be rethought. If Iran does abandon the Non-Proliferation Treaty they can develop nuclear weapons without inspection. We really need to watch out for this guy. He's a slick one.

The bird flu was found in some wild swans in Sicily. The bird flu has now been found in Italy, Greece, and Bulgaria.

A Haitian woman was arrested on Thursday at Florida's Fort Lauderdale airport after customs official found a human head in her baggage. She was charged with transporting hazardous material and for not declaring the head on the customs form. I don't know about you but that's one thing I'd be a little scared of declaring. The woman said it was to ward off evil spirits. The head had skin, teeth, hair and was very dirty. Haiti, the country the woman hailed from, recognized voodoo as a religion back in 2003. The woman faces up to 15 years in prison. No word on where the rest of the body might be found.
