No U.N. arms inspection and U.S. plans to keep control of Iraqi oil On the political role of the United Nations, the draft calls for a high-level special representative with "independent responsibilities."

In the wake of the death of American ISM member Rachel Corrie and the shootings of Brian Avery and Tom Hurndall, who is still in coma, the Israel military is asking internationals to sign a new declaration that not only relieves the Israeli Government of responsibility for any deaths but also asks the individual signing to confirm th...
