Mexico finally names Calderon as president-elect
MEXICO CITY (AP) - Felipe Calderon
became the president-elect of Mexico.
The decision came on Tuesday, two
months after the disputed election between
Calderon and Andres Manuel Lopez
Obrador.
Accusations of fraud surrounded
Calderon during the election, but the
nation’s top electoral court voted unani
mously to reject all allegations. The court
said that there was “no logical connection”
to claims that television ads from business
supporting Calderon had subliminal mes
sages in favor of him.
“1 hope we conclude this electoral
process leaving confrontation behind,” said
Leonel Castillo, the court’s president.
The decision by the Federal Electoral
Tribunal is final and cannot be appealed.
President Fox, Mexico’s current president,
leaves office on Dec. 1.

Bush reminds America about terrorism threats
WASHINGTON (AP) - President Bush
spoke Tuesday about the terrorism strategy
updates and warned about the lingering
potential for future attacks.
Bush said that even though there hasn’t
been any further terrorist attacks on
American soil since Sept. 11,2001, the dan
ger still remains prominent.
“Bin Laden and his terrorist allies have
made their intentions as clear as Lenin and
Hitler before them,” Bush said. “The ques
tion is ‘Will we listen? Will we pay atten
tion to what these evil men say?”’
Bush admitted that al-Qaida, home
grown terrorists and other organizations
have adapted to the changing U.S. defenses.
His speech came after the White House
released a strategy paper that said the nation
has made progress in dealing with terror
ism, but that al-Qaida is also adjusting and
that “we are not yet safe.”
The report is timely, as midterm elec
tions are two months away. It is part of an
attempt by the White House to highlight the
issue of national security, which has helped
Republicans in past campaigns.
Democrats responded by releasing their
own study comprised of research showing
the increase of terrorist attacks and partici
pation of al-Qaida members.
In its updated war on terror strategy, the
administration took credit for some of the
successes, but also admitted that, “While
the United States government and its part
ners have thwarted many attacks, we have
not been able to prevent them all. Terrorists
have struck in many places throughout the
world, from Bali to Beslan to Baghdad.”
The terror alert is currently at “elevated.”
