Salt Lake Tribune – Republican prepares bill for demise of Roe v. Wade If someone directly challenges Roe v. Wade . . . And if the U.S. Supreme Court reverses more than 30 years of legal precedent . . . State Rep. Paul Ray wants Utah to be ready.

NPR : U.S. Detains 6 Iranians in Irbil Raid Bush's new strategy, however, ignores key recommendations of the Iraq Study Group, which in December called for a new diplomatic offensive and an outreach to Syria and Iran. Instead, the president accused both countries of aiding terrorists and insurgents in Iraq. "We will disrupt the attacks on our forces," Bush said. "We will interrupt the flow of support from Iran and Syria." Audio of speech plays under sweetened video of the exercise. Meanwhile, video of Syrian government officials making conciliatory statements about a more cooperative relationship with the Americans is being cued up…
