Hunt for WMDs in Iraq continues
An article that says that David Kay, who is hunting WMDs for the Pentagon, has made a lot of interesting finds that will be revealed in a a report in mid-September.
Kay has told his superiors he has found substantial evidence of biological weapons in Iraq, plus considerable missile development. He has been less successful in locating chemical weapons, and has not yet begun a substantial effort to locate progress toward nuclear arms.
Senior officials in the Bush administration believe Kay's weapons discoveries should have been revealed as they were made. However, a decision, approved by President Bush, was made to wait until more was discovered and then announce it -- probably in September.
I guess none of us are really holding our breaths, suffering from repeated false alarm fatigue.

British police told to 'shoot to kill'
Amid intelligence warnings that an al-Qaeda suicide attack in Britain may be imminent, armed police are under orders to 'shoot to kill' if they encounter a suicide bomber. Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir John Stevens has placed the police on the highest alert.
One senior officer said: "He's made it plain that if we think we are facing a suicide bomber, we should shoot first and ask questions later."
Police officers in the UK are normally unarmed, but hundreds of armed police officers are now patrolling London.
