Senator seeks censure of Bush Sen. Russell Feingold, D-Wis., said Sunday he would ask the Senate to censure President George W. Bush for authorizing a warrantless domestic spy­ ing program, signaling a new determination by Democrats to keep the heat on the White House over the controversial eavesdropping by the National Security Agency. While the surveillance program has drawn criticism from Republicans as well, a Senate GOP leader dismissed the move by Feingold, an iconoclastic liberal and possible 2008 presidential candidate, as "political grandstanding." Feingold and other critics of the surveillance have accused the adminis­ tration of violating a 1978 law that requires court approval for the NSA to eavesdrop on people in the United States. . The White House offered no response to Feingold's proposal. Censure, which the Senate describes as "a formal statement of disap­ proval," carries no legal penalty.

U.S. troops call GETS THE ADRENALINE GOING. YOURS AND WHOEVER READS ABOUT for immediate IT ON YOUR RESUME. withdrawal BY CASEY JAYWORK Staff Reporter A new report released by the polling group Zogby International shows 72 percent of U.S. troops in Iraq support a full pullout within a year. This could be bad news for the President, whose approval ratings have remained consistently low since Hurricane Katrina. However, a Pentagon spokesman said he does not consider the report to be a reason for concern and he believes it does not accurately represent troop senti­ ment. Army Lieutenant Col. Mark Ballesteros stated in an e-mail message that he attributes the findings, in part, to the troops' understanding that the Iraqis will ultimately take the reigns from them in security opera­ tions, but does not accept the report in its entirety. "The poll results roughly correspond with our stated goal of turning over the security responsibilities to the Iraqis," he said. Because the survey was conducted without complete military super­ vision, its results are suspect, Ballesteros said. "We do not find that the attitudes mentioned in the poll are consis­ tent with the attitudes and actions displayed by U.S. troops," he said. "There are questions about the methodology with which Zogby approached the poll." Fritz Wenzel, spokesman for Zogby International, said the poll was conducted among 944 randomly selected U.S. service members in Iraq, between Jan. 18 and Feb. 14 of this year, using printed questionnaires. In addition to the 72 percent who supported full withdrawal within a year, it also found 42 percent thought the U.S. mission was not entire­ ly clear, 70 percent thought they were being provided with adequate equipment, and 85 percent believed the war was in retaliation for Sad dam Hussein's role in the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, he said. Wenzel said if the poll had been conducted by the military itself, the results would be equal!J suspect. "That's why we dill this in a manner to be free of all outside influ­ ences," he said. "We used proven, accurate methodology and we stand by the results." THE .AFRICAN STUDIES Junior Jason Fox, Iraq veteran and former aviation transport special­ ist who served from Nov. 2004 to Oct. 2005 in northern Iraq, said that PROGRAM AT THE UNIVERSITY OF while armchair generals in the Pentagon may support an extended occu­ pation, the ground troops do not. DELAWARE ANNOUNCES ITS "There's probably a few people, like the higher-ups that aren't actu­ ally there, that would say 'We need to be there longer,' but everybody that's actually in the shit doesn't want to be there," he said. Fourth Annual Fox said his impression is that the Iraqi public generally supports the U.S. presence and the insurgency consists of small pockets of resist­ Distinguished ance populated largely by non-Iraqis. Fox also took issue with the pur­ ported 85 percent of troops who believed that their mission was largely in retaliation for Saddam's role in the Sept. 11 , 2001 terrorist attacks. Africanist Lecture "I think that would be a quick answer, but when you actually sit down with most people, they'd realize that they knew that Iraq didn't have much to do with that attack at all," he said. Ballesteros said although security operations will eventually be fully under Iraqi jurisdiction, the Pentagon has no plans for a full troop­ withdrawal in the foreseeable future. "There is no timetable associated with any troop level decisions," he said. "Any adjustment of troop levels will be made based on the condi­ tions on the ground in Iraq."
