RTTNews: "The International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague rejected Georgia's request to prosecute Russia for violating its territorial integrity in the breakaway region of South Ossetia during the conflict that killed hundreds and drove thousands of others from their homes two months ago.
The request was a part of an ethnic cleansing suit filed against Russia after Moscow achieved a crushing victory in the five-day war that killed hundreds of Ossetians and drove thousands of others from their homes in August."

NYTimes: "President Bush asserted on Tuesday that he had the executive power to bypass several parts of two bills: a military authorization act and a measure giving inspectors general greater independence from White House control.
Mr. Bush signed the two measures into law. But he then issued a so-called signing statement in which he instructed the executive branch to view parts of each as unconstitutional constraints on presidential power."
