"I never meant to imply U.S. forces acted with ill intent when U.S. forces accidentally killed journalists, and I apologize to anyone who thought I said or believed otherwise," said CNN chief news executive Eason Jordan in a memo of resignation.

"Republican leaders believe in only one thing, wealth," John Edwards said. "President Bush talks of an 'ownership society' but it is nothing but an exclusive club with the doors closed for people who work hard for a living."

"We have to talk about economic growth initiatives. We cannot just be negative. We've got to have new ideas," said Gov. Bill Richardson of New Mexico.

"We can't wait until another Jack Kennedy or Bill Clinton comes along. The Democrats have to have a system as good as the Republican system," Howard Dean said.

"I have said to the president, I've said it to all of his advisers, and I've said to all of our folks: 'Look it, you can't jam change down the American people's throat unless they perceive there really is a problem, that there's something there that isn't going to work 12 or 14 years from now, and it's going to be a catastrophe when we reach that point,' " House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert said.

"The Vioxx disaster and its aftermath have shaken the public's confidence in the Food and Drug Administration, in part because, instead of listening to its best scientists, the agency is "sitting down to negotiate with drug companies," said Sen. Charles Grassley (R, IA.)

It’s official: Dean elected

Howard Dean was elected Chairman of the Democrat National Committee. He seemed to tell the Committee that it is not what you say but how you say it that counts. Here is what Dean said about expressing the Party’s core values:

"The way I hope to deal with that problem, is not to abandon our core principles, but talk about them in a different way," Dean said.

Democrats are not pro-abortion, but "we are the party in favor of allowing women to make up their own minds about their health care," Dean, said.

Democrats are not for gay marriage, but "we are the party that has always believed in equal rights under the law for all people," he said.

"We are the party of moral values," Dean said. "There is nothing moral about cutting 300 million dollars that is used to feed starving children."

U.N. sex scandal

The LA Times reports on further information breaking on the U.N. sex scandal:

A scandal about the sexual abuse of Congolese women and children by U.N. officials and peacekeepers intensified Friday with the broadcast of explicit pictures of a French U.N. worker and Congolese girls and his claim that there was a network of pedophiles at the U.N. mission in Congo.

ABC News' "20/20" program showed pictures taken from the computer of a French U.N. transport worker. The hard drive reportedly contained thousands of photos of him with hundreds of girls. In one frame, a tear can be seen rolling down the cheek of a victim.

The United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan was not only the head of the U.N. when nations like France Germany and Russia used corrupt practices to enable Saddam Hussein to torture thousands of Iraqi citizens, he was also on duty while the U.N. ran a network of pedophiles out his organization. This will only further hurt Annan’s possibility to stay on at the U.N.
