"It finally definitively putst(

doctors and patients,”
Graham Boyd, an American jj

representing patients, doctors,
and other groups in the case.
Robert Kampia, head of the
Marijuana Policy Project in
Washington, said the court “has
eliminated any doubt that states
have the right to protect medical
marijuana patients under statj
law, and that physicians have the
right to give patients honest
advice and recommendations,
whether the federal government
approves or not.”

Peter Mansoor of the U.S. 1st Armored
Division. “We revved up security measures
based on those indications.”
He said the FBI and Iraqi police were
investigating. Similar investigations of seven
other vehicle bombings, killing more than 140
people across Iraq beginning in August, have
made no known breakthroughs.
Following Tuesday’s clash in Karbala,
Pentagon officials said the U.S. military is
concerned about al-Sadr but is uncertain
whether he poses a significant threat. The
officials, speaking on condition of anonymi
ty, said they remain committed to disarming
militias — including al-Sadr’s — but
declined to say whether they planned to con
front his followers.
At his headquarters in Najaf, south of
Karbala, al-Sadr demanded the Americans set
a timetable for withdrawal. “Whoever coop
erates with the occupation forces is not a
Shiite. Indeed, they are not Muslims,” he said.
In other developments Tuesday:
—A spokeswoman for the U.S. 4th
Infantry Division, Maj. Josslyn Aberle, said
the military did not have any reports that
Saddam was hiding in his hometown of
Tikrit. This countered a statement Monday
by a 4th ID officer that the deposed presi
dent was recently in the area.
—Insurgents launched attacks on Iraqi
police in the northern city of Mosul, killing
one policeman and wounding two others in
a drive-by shooting, the U.S. military said.
—In central Iraq’s Sunni Muslim heart
land, 100 people gathered at the main
mosque in Fallujah to demand release oft
cleric arrested Monday by U.S. troops.
Sheik Jamal Shaker Nazzal is an outspoken
opponent of the American occupation.
—The U.S. commerce secretary, Don
Evans, delivered an upbeat message at a
Baghdad news conference, saying, “We need
to continue to focus on moving the entire
country and region toward a more secure,
hopeful and prosperous country and region."
He said he had seen “endless successes” ip
Iraq, citing restoration of electrical power and
reopening of schools and hospitals.
Tuesday’s attack was the third car bomb
ing since Thursday, when a driver detonated
his vehicle in a police station courtyard
Baghdad, killing himself and nine others,
On Sunday, a suicide bombing killed t
near the Baghdad Hotel, home to U.S.
Iraqi officials.
