Saddam Paid for Lawmakers' Trip
By Mark Impomeni - Politics DailyIn a stunning announcement in connection with the indictment of a Michigan charity official, Federal prosecutors said yesterday that former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein secretly financed a Congressional trip to Iraq in the run up to the Iraq War. The trip was undertaken by three anti-war Democrats in the month before the Congressional vote on the authorization to use military force against Iraq. Reps. Jim McDermott (D-WA), and Mike Thompson (D-CA), and then Rep. David Bonior (D-MI) visited Iraq on the trip arranged by Muthanna Al-Hanooti, the subject of the Federal indictment. For his ...

But Hensley got even worse news after leaving Wednesday night's game against the Nationals in the third inning with a strained groin.

It was at that point, that David Wells, who was already upset over controversial calls earlier in the game, blew up at umpire Doug Eddings, prompting his ejection from the game. ...
Final NL Roster Notes: Rafael Furcal to Start Season on DL
By Larry Brown - AOL NewsHere's a look around the NL West and what final roster moves your team made to prepare for Opening Day: Diamondbacks: Infielder Brian Barden and utility man Robby Hammock made the squad. Hammock showed promise in '03 and '04, but missed all of '05 because of shoulder surgery. Right handers Dustin Nippert and J.D. Durbin won the final spots in the bullpen. (via East Valley Tribune)Dodgers: Matt Kemp made the club as the final outfielder, beating out Larry Bigbie and James Loney (who hit .414 in Spring and didn't take the news well), presumably because Kemp's a right-handed hitter while Bigbie ...
