What's Going On With Iraq's Constitution?new
By the time you read this, Iraq's leaders will have written a constitution. Or not.
The drafters have already missed their legal deadline of Aug. 15. They had to ask Iraq's assembly to grant them an extension. The new deadline is Aug. 22, but who's to say they won't miss it as well?

Is the War in Iraq Causing More Terrorism?new
President Bush and Prime Minister Blair contend that terrorists are not at all motivated by what we do in Iraq or anywhere else.

Album More Mood Piece Than Joy Ridenew
Another Day on Earth bears little resemblance to the deconstructed glam and off-kilter art funk that characterized Brian Eno's '70s rock albums. Instead, it sounds as if Eno took his ambient recordings from the '80s and '90s and crafted songs on top of them.
