Dick Cheney asserted that lawmakers' criticism will not influence Bush's plans and he dismissed any effort to "run a war by committee."

MIAMI - Miscommunication led to the detainment of three men at the Port of
Miami on Sunday after authorities became suspicious of their documentation and
the contents of their cargo truck, officials said.

Authorities initially said the men — two Iraqis and one Lebanese national who
are legal permanent U.S. residents — had been caught trying to slip past a
checkpoint at the port's entrance.

A port security officer became suspicious when the truck driver could not
produce proper paperwork in a routine inspection to enter the port about 8 a.m.,
Miami-Dade police spokeswoman Nancy Goldberg said

NEW YORK (Reuters) - By day Sandra Martinez works at a New York law firm, but
by night she throws off her conservative image and becomes "Sandra Claws" -- an
amateur female Jell-O wrestler.

At a grungy live music bar on New York's Lower East Side, she joined 11 other
women to do battle -- several for the first time -- in a blue, blow-up kiddie
pool decorated with orange fish and filled with warm, clear clumps of an
unflavored version of the gelatin dessert.

"It (lets us do) things we probably want to do to women sometimes that we
dislike, but we have a forum where we can express it in a fun and safe way,"
said Martinez, a 27-year-old business development specialist.

Her competitors, with day jobs including nanny and marketing manager,
introduce each other by stage names -- Tinsel the Bohemian Christmas Fairy,
Parcel of Power, Chocolate Thunder and Backhand Betty.
