While other Sunni politicians in Iraq are calling for a delay in the vote -- and some are threatening a boycott -- President Ghazi al-Yawer (GAH'-zee ahl YOW'-ur) says waiting beyond January 30th would be a mistake. On the ground in Iraq a new wave of insurgent attacks has left at least 70 Iraqis dead. The attacks appeared to be aimed at scaring off those who work with Americans ahead of next month's elections.

A tentative settlement has reportedly been reached in a lawsuit filed by state Democrats against Republicans -- over eavesdropping incidents more than two years ago. Sources say the settlement calls for the Democratic plaintiffs to be paid a total of about 750-thousand dollars, but no agreement has been signed yet. The lawsuit has been set for a two-day trial beginning Thursday in federal court in Richmond. The lawsuit centers on whether Republicans listened in on Democrats' phone calls.
