As for the other war prisoners in Cuba -- the International Red Cross
says U.S. may be breaking international laws by releasing photos of
captives -- saying the pictures expose the detainees to (quote) "public
curiosity."
Some British officials are outraged the prisoners -- which include three
Britons -- are wearing blacked out goggles and earmuffs -- saying it's
torture.
But a spokesman for prime minister Tony Blair says British investigators
concluded there's ''no sign of any mistreatment.''
Thirty-four more detainees arrived Sunday -- bringing the total to 144
-- and all -- the military says -- are in good hands.

Governor Mark Warner said today that the projected size of Virginia's budget deficit is expected to increase by about 300 (m) million dollars over the next three-and-a-half years. That's based
on a softer-than-expected economy in January.
The gloomy economic forecast comes as Warner attempts to rally legislative support for deep state spending cuts he'll include in budget revisions tomorrow.
Meanwhile, the car tax does not appear to be going away anytime soon.
