] Wiretapping takes on a whole new meaning now that phone
] calls are being made over the Internet, posing legal and
] technical hurdles for the FBI (news - web sites) as it
] seeks to prevent the emerging services from becoming a
] safe haven for criminals and terrorists.
]
]
] The FBI wants regulators to affirm that such services
] fall under a 1994 law requiring phone companies to build
] in surveillance capabilities. It is also pushing the
] industry to create technical standards to make
] wiretapping easier and cheaper.
]
] But privacy advocates fear that because online
] eavesdropping technology is crude, tapping into the data
] stream for voice means getting more than what a court
] ordered - including possibly e-mail and other
] digital communications.

] Clutching her new cowboy hat, 2-year-old Carson Weigart
] nodded as she surveyed the array of four-legged critters
] moseying around Maury County Park yesterday afternoon.
]
] ''Haflingers,'' she said matter-of-factly when her
] grandfather asked what type of horses those were.
]
] He grinned at her knowledge.

] Wrangler's, a fancy belt and cowgirl shirt %u2014
] sauntered through her first Mule Day experience like a
] seasoned cowpoke, eyeing the mules and petting the
] horses.
]
] Tomorrow, she will join her family for the 11 a.m. Mule
] Day parade %u2014 riding in a wagon pulled by her
] grandfather's set of Haflingers, a popular breed of horse

] One of the most mysterious aspects of this highly
] mysterious war is the absence of casualties. People get
] killed in normal wars. Who is getting killed in this one?
] And where is the Iraqi army?
]
] As a percentage of those engaged, casualties represent
] less than one tenth of one per cent. For purposes of
] comparison, during the Second World War casualties in
] Bomber Command of four per cent per sortie - say 300 dead
] aircrew each 1,000 bomber raid - were thought bearable.
]
] The British death toll so far is under 30 and most of the
] victims have died in accidents. The American death toll
] is not much higher.
]
] Opponents of the war will say that, though Western
] casualties may be low, that is not true of the Iraqis.
] Perhaps but where is the proof?
]
] Although there is still a large Western press corps in
] Baghdad, television has so far succeeded in bringing us
] only the most paltry evidence of deaths inflicted among
] civilians by the coalition - three here, perhaps 17
] there, but that may have been Iraqi friendly fire. In a
] similar incident during the Bosnian war, when a Sarajevo
] market was shelled by the Serbs, 80 were killed. The
] Iraqi government announced yesterday that 1,250 civilians
] have died but provided no evidence.

] In the giddy spirit of the day, nothing could quite top
] the wish list bellowed out by one man in the throng of
] people greeting American troops from the 101st Airborne
] Division who marched into town today.
]
] What, the man was asked, did he hope to see now that the
] Baath Party had been driven from power in his town? What
] would the Americans bring?
]
] "Democracy," the man said, his voice rising to lift each
] word to greater prominence. "Whiskey. And sexy!"
]
] Around him, the crowd roared its approval. Yet when the
] first round of welcomes to American soldiers and
] journalists were exuberantly, even affectionately
] completed, the people in the crowd had a more urgent
] request than liquor. They wanted water.

] About 2,000 Kuwaitis gathered in the capital on Thursday
] to show their support for the U.S.-led war against Iraq
] in the face of what they see as hostile Arab sentiment.
]
] In most Arab countries, anti-war protesters have taken to
] the streets, sometimes chanting slogans criticizing
] Kuwait for providing the main launching pad for the U.S.
] and British invasion of its neighbor.
]
] But Kuwaitis -- still grateful to U.S.-led forces for
] driving out Iraqi occupation troops in the 1991 Gulf War
] -- accuse the Arab world of indulging in knee-jerk
] anti-Americanism and of caring little for ordinary
] Iraqis.
]
] "We want to show that Kuwait is right in the face of the
] public opinion abroad," Salem Shehab, an organizer of the
] rally, said. "We are against the Iraqi regime, not the
] Iraqi people."
]
] "We support our country in this time of war," said
] 17-year-old Nada, who would not give her family name.
] "Most Arab countries are condemning this war. We're
] supporting what the United States is doing to liberate
] the Iraqi people."

] An Iraqi Shi'ite Muslim leader has urged Iraqis not to
] hinder U.S. invading forces after previously asking them

]
] In a religious ruling, or fatwa, Shi'ite cleric Grand
] Ayatollah Ali Sistani urged Iraqis to stop fighting in
] and around the Shi'ite holy shrine of Najaf, the Al Khoei

] The minister also said that coalition forces were
] throwing booby traps in the form of pens and pencils into
] Iraqi villages and townships.
]
] "The authority of the civil defense ... issued a warning
] to the civilian population not to pick up any of those
] pencils because they are booby traps," he said, adding
] that the British and American forces were "immoral
] mercenaries" and "war criminals" for such behavior.
]
] "I am not talking about the American people and the
] British people," he said. "I am talking about those
] mercenaries. ... They have started throwing those
] pencils, but they are not pencils, they are booby traps
] to kill the children."
