Marcus Mabry writes: "It's hard to say which is worse news for Republicans: that George W. Bush now has the worst approval rating of an American president in a generation, or that he seems to be dragging every '08 Republican presidential candidate down with him. According to the new NEWSWEEK poll, the public's approval of Bush has sunk to 28 percent, an all-time low for this president."

Henry Waxman, chairman of the House oversight committee, wrote to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice today to complain that State Department officials had tried to block a nuclear weapons analyst at the department from speaking with Waxman's staff. This comes after Waxman's committee issued a subpoena last week for Rice's testimony on how she dealt with claims before the war that Iraq had sought uranium from Niger.

A professor at Bristol University has called for an inquiry into the dangers of Wi-Fi wireless internet technology.

‘The research hasn’t been done. Therefore we cannot assume that there are no effects,’ Professor Dennis Henshaw, professor of human radiation at Bristol University told the Independent on Sunday (IoS).

‘I would be in favour of an inquiry into the dangers of Wi-Fi,’ he continued. ‘This technology is being wheeled out without any checks and balances.’

Concerns over the health effects of the electromagnetic fields generated by Wi-Fi devices are beginning to mount following news that the chairman of the Health Protection Agency, Sir William Stewart, has called for an official investigation.

On Sunday, the IoS revealed that Professor Lawrie Challis, the head of the Government’s committee on mobile phone safety, has warned children against placing Wi-Fi enabled laptops on their laps.

Professor Alan Preece, also from Bristol University, urged caution:
‘No one is really aware of what we are dealing with,’ he said. ‘The Department for Trade and Industry needs to take the lead and do some investigation.’

Dr Tim Norris- 30/04/2007 19:51:54 Until circa year 2000, I had never experienced tinnitus. I was late in buying a mobile telephone. Each time I used it, I felt nausious. I made a miskake of using the mobile telephone continuously for circa 20 minutes; it seemed during the conversation that there was much bakground noise - the problem was that the noise continued after the call was terminated. My life was plagued with severe tinnitus and headaches for at least two years thereafter. Special medication helped (Seretonin uptake inhibitors) but still I ahve some background tnnintus. The tinnitus level now rises as soon as anyone activcates their mobile telephone in close proximity to me (i.e. nearer than 5 metres). Mobile telephone technology and similarly mobile telephones are not safe technology. Many years ago, no-one question the health risks of smoking - now it is a known health risk - just wait, mobile telephones and such like will sometime in the future also be correctly recognized as the health risk they really present. By that time, most of the Worlds population will have been irradiated. less

Mr Bush, your sheikh is dead

Some may call it divine providence, some may call it Allah's bidding; in the end it was up to real Iraq to intervene and shatter the "surge is a success" story sold to US and world public opinion by President George W Bush and his top man in Iraq, General David Petraeus.
