Photographs of George W. Bush, during all three debates, have been analysed by Dr. Robert M. Nelson, senior research scientist for NASA and for Caltech's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and an international authority on image analysis. The striking results of his investigations suggest that Bush wore a wire during all three debates. During an interview Bush tried to laugh it off. "I don't know what that is" he said on Good Morning America last Wednesday, referring to the protrusion beneath his jacket during the presidential debates. "I'm embarrassed to say it's a poorly tailored shirt." But Nelson said: "In the first debate the bulges create the impression of a letter T with a small feature which appears similar to a wire under the jacket running upward from the right. In the second and third debates the jacket has a generally padded shape across a large part of the entire back which tapers inward toward the spine in a downward direction. This is consistent with the hypothesis that a pad was inserted to conceal the T-shaped device seen in the first debate." These photos, together with the image from the first debate, refute the president's explanation. The only logical explanation is that Bush was wired, that he was fed the answers, that he cheated during all three debates and that he has lied to the American people again.

Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak on Thursday received a phone call from Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, who apologized for the killing of three Egyptian soldiers by Israeli tank fire mistakenly, the official MENA news agency reported. The soldiers, who were at the Rafah area on the Egyptian- Palestinian border, were killed after an Israeli tank fired one shell at them by mistake. Israeli reports said the Israeli tank crew, operating near the Philadephi Route in the Rafah area, apparently thought the three to be Palestinians smuggling weapons. The tank then fired a shell across the border before dawn and killed the three, a senior Israeli security source told the Israeli newspaper Ha'aretz. "Three Egyptian troops were killed," the source said, "our tank thought they were Palestinian weapons smugglers." The Israeli Foreign Ministry will join senior defense officials in an immediate investigation into the incident.
