CBS News confirmed tonight that President Bush has decided that smallpox vaccine should be made available on a VOLUNTARY

The policy, to be announced Friday, comes after long study and debate about mass vaccination against a smallpox bioterror attack.
The vaccine can have serious side effects, including death in some cases.

Cross burning, looked upon by some Americans as a symbol of racial hatred and fear, has now made its way to the Supreme Court.
The Court must decide whether the act is illegal intimidation or a right to free speech.
(------------)
[VO-NAT]
Today, justices heard arguments from the State of Virginia and lawyers representing three white men - all convicted of cross burning.
The issue was first raised in Carroll County four years ago, when a white woman looked across a field to see men in hoods burning a cross. She testified that she was terrified for her family.
Another case in Virginia Beach involved a cross that was burned on the lawn of a multi-racial family.
Virginia law makes it a crime to burn a cross with an intent to intimidate.
But opponents argue cross burning is symbolic speech - and still deserves protection under the first amendment.

((American intelligence had shadowed the Cambodian freighter Sosan for weeks - from the time it left North Korea until it was finally
boarded by American commandos off the horn of Africa. In the hold - hidden under bags of cement - 15 Scud missiles and missile parts
destined for the middle east...
Ari Fleischer:
"We had concerns about where its ultimate destination might have been, and it applied to terrorist states, terrorist organizations or rogue states...."
The White House was worried the missiles may have been headed for Iraq - which terrorized Israel and Saudi Arabia with scuds during the
Gulf War.
But the destination turned out to be Yemen - a crucial Arab ally in the war on terror. Yemeni officials claimed it was the final shipment of an
old order and demanded the missiles be handed over.
Powell: "We had assurance these missiles were for Yemeni defensive purposes and under no circumstances would they be going anywhere else...."
Still, the incident is troubling to the White House. Yemen is a frontline state in the war on terror - it's where the USS Cole was bombed - and where a senior Al-Qaeda member was recently taken out by a Predator drone. The Pentagon says Yemen had promised last year that it would buy no more missile technology from North Korea.
