Police in Miami announced yesterday plans to embed reporters in police squads during the upcoming protests against the Free Trade Area of the Americas. Police Chief John Timoney said he wants to bring journalists to the front lines of the protest. The journalists will be required to have a riot helmet and gas mask. Timoney gained national attention in 2000 when he served as police chief in Philadelphia during the Republican National Convention.

UN: Iran Had Secret Nuclear Program
A confidential report by the International Atomic Energy Agency has found that over the past 18 years Iran has secretly manufactured small amounts of enriched uranium and plutonium. This according to the Washington Post, which obtained a copy of the report. The Agency also said it had found no evidence that Iran had sought to build a nuclear bomb. But the Agency concluded “it will take some time before the agency is able to conclude that Iran’s nuclear program is exclusively for peaceful purposes.”
