110 AT DENVER AIRPORT ACCUSED OF FALSE RESUMES

Denver -- A federal grand jury has indicted 110 people who allegedly used
false information to obtain jobs that gave them access to restricted areas
of Denver International Airport, officials announced Tuesday.

None of those indicted was suspected of terrorist-related crimes, U.S.
Attorney John Suthers said.

Federal agents arrested 35 people Tuesday and were seeking the others. All
110 were indicted Sept. 10 on charges of misusing a Social Security number.
Some face additional charges, including unlawful return of a removed alien,
perjury, making a false statement and false claim of citizenship.

70 Percent Of Americans Predict Iraq War, Poll Says

Seven of 10 Americans say they think the United States probably will be at
war with Iraq a year from now, according to a poll released Tuesday. The
poll was taken just before Iraq invited United Nations weapons inspectors
back into the country.

About the same number said they believe if the United States does not take
military action against Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein, he eventually will use
weapons of mass destruction against this country. Almost half said they
would expect that within five years, while a fourth said by next year and a
sixth said in the next six months.

The CNN-USA Today-Gallup poll of 803 adults was taken Friday through Monday
and has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.

West Nile Virus Was Found In Dog, Doctors Say

Chicago -- Veterinarians in Illinois have confirmed the first U.S. case of
West Nile virus in a dog.

The infected dog, which has died, was an 8-year-old that might already have
had a disease that weakened its immune system.

Officials at the Illinois Department of Public Health laboratory in Chicago
and the State Natural History Survey confirmed the diagnosis. The virus
appears to have been transmitted by mosquitoes.

The infected dog showed neurological symptoms, including unusual head
bobbing, lethargy and progressive weakening.

Pot Risks Greater Than Thought, Drug Czar Says

Washington -- The nation's drug policy director warned parents Tuesday
against trivializing the dangers of marijuana to their kids, saying more
teens are addicted to pot than to alcohol or to all other illegal drugs
combined.

Many parents and children have outdated perceptions about marijuana, said
John Walters, director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy.

His office is launching a national campaign that will include ads on
television, radio and print.
