Jacob Blom
Sports Editor
Deena Hayes needed the
School Board almost as much as
the School Board needed her.
Hayes, a 40 year-old CCE

newly desensitized evidence of
Iraqi arms, such as bulldozed
chemical weapons sites, rocket
launchers hidden under palm
trees, and mobile bioweapon
labs on trucks, reported by au

conversations and satellite pho

He also cited links between
Saddam Hussein and Al Qaeda,
suggesting that Iraq's lethal weap
