President Bush has given Israel a verbal slap on the wrist for a helicopter attack on the leader of Hamas. Spokesman Ari Fleischer says Bush is deeply troubled by the attack.
--- The president is concerned that the strike will undermine efforts by Palestinian authorities and others to bring an end to the terrorist attacks, and the president thinks that this action does not contribute to Israel’s security.
That attack injured the Hamas leader and left two others dead.

이스라엘에서 헬리콥터를 출동시켜 Hamas 정치지도자를 살해하려 했으나 실패로 돌아갔습니다. 대신 2명의 팔레스타인인이 사망하고 27명이 부상을 입었습니다. 부시대통령은 비난을 가합니다. 이번 폭력사태로 심각하게 곤란하게 되었다고 합니다(deeply troubled). 수시간 뒤에 집에서 만든 로켓포(Homemade rockets)가 Gaza지역에서 이스라엘측으로 발사되었습니다. 이스라엘측 헬리콥터와 탱크 또한 이에 응사하여 북쪽 Gaza지역을 폭격하였습니다. 3명의 팔레스타인인이 죽었다고 하는군요. 팔레스타인 총리 Mahmoud Abbas는 이번 공격이 "terrorist attack"이라고 비난하였습니다. 이스라엘 총리는 militants의 어떠한 공격에 대한 보복조치도 주저하지 않겠다고 천명합니다. ###slap on the wrist### 가벼운 잔소리, 꾸지람.

The Pentagon's top policy advisor says that stabilizing post-war Iraq has proven tougher and more complex than the Bush administration originally thought. Joseph Collins has told reporters that pre-war plans for restoring order in Iraq were comprehensive and carefully assembled. But he says once the plan became a reality, it had to be adjusted, sometimes quite a bit.

전쟁 후 이라크 사회를 안정시키는 작업이 어렵고 무척이나 복잡하다고 합니다. 주로 훈련된 세력들에 의한 폭력이나 sabotage 때문이라고 펜타곤 수석정책고문이 밝혔습니다. Joseph Collins(deputy assistant secretary of defense for stability operations)가 말하길, 전쟁 전 이라크 복구계획은 수긍이 가고 면밀히 기획되었으나 실제 현실에 부딪혔을 때 수정이 많이 필요하다고 합니다. 봉착한 문제로는 일단 전기가 부족하고, 미군에 대한 폭력 및 미국에서 약속한 이라크의 독립이(put their country back on its feet) 이행되지 않을 것이라는 인식 등입니다. 최근 충돌사태로 미군병사 1명이 사망하고 다른 한명이 부상을 입었습니다. 저격수가 로켓추진의 수류탄(rocket-propelled grenades)을 발사하여 일어난 사건입니다. Collins의 말로는 원래 계획은 A점수를 주고 싶다고 합니다. 이해도나 행정부의 협조가 뛰어났다고 합니다. 그러나 실천하는 과정에 있어 수정할 점이 많이 있고 재조정을 거치고 있다고 합니다.
The Associated Press has conducted its first countrywide survey of civilians killed in Iraq. We get the story from Baghdad and correspondent Lourdes Navarro.
--- The investigation shows that at least 3,240 civilians were killed during the war in Iraq, many appear to have been the victims of American bombs and gunfire. However, as many witnesses describe, Iraqi soldiers often wore no uniform, making separating civilian and military casualties difficult. Witnesses also say some deaths were caused by the Iraqis themselves. The AP survey is based on the records of only 60 of Iraq’s 124 hospitals, indicating that the number of civilian casualties is almost certainly higher than the first Gulf War. According to Iraqi authorities, an estimated 2,278 civilians were killed in the fighting. Lourdes Navarro, Baghdad.

이라크전 사상자에 대한 AP의 조사에 따르면 이번전쟁에서 걸프전보다 많고 이라크 당국이 추정한 민간인 사상자보다도 그 숫자가 높은 민간인 사상자가 발생했다는 소식입니다. 하지만, 이번 조사는 전체 병원의 절반에 대한 조사이고, 또 군인들이 민간인 복장을 한 경우가 많았던 만큼 그 숫자는 빙산의 일각에 불과할 가능성도 있을 듯…
A firefight in Afghanistan has left four attackers dead, but the Americans who were involved are all said to be OK. Officials say that Afghan rebels opened fire on a US patrol, causing the Americans to return fire. The predawn attack came as US and allied forces were patrolling for guerilla fighters in a volatile area near the Pakistan border.

Former treasury secretary Donald Regan has died. Correspondent James Limbaugh with the story.
--- A spokesman at Merrill Lynch says Regan died of cancer following a brief stay at a Williamsburg, Virginia hospital. He was 84. Regan, who served under President Reagan as White House chief of staff as well as treasury secretary, was forced out of the administration in 1987, the result of the Iran-Contra scandal. A year later, he wrote a tell-all book which revealed that former First Lade Nancy Reagan consulted frequently with an astrologer while her husband was president. Regan was a former marine who rose to become head of Wall Street’s powerful Merrill Lynch brokerage before joining the Reagan team. James Limbaugh, Washington.

기사 덕분에 메릴린치에 대해서 조금 알아봤는데, 워낙 스토리가 길어서 그냥 월가의 잘 나가는 투자은행, 금융서비스회사라고만 알아두기로 하죠. 메릴린치의 총수 출신으로 레이건 행정부 시절 백악관 고위직과 재무부장관을 역임한 레이건 회장이 암으로 사망했습니다. 이란-콘트라 사건은 국가안전보장회의((NSC))가 레바논에 억류되어 있는 미국인 인질을 석방시킬 목적으로 비밀리에 이란에 무기를 판매하고 그 대금의 일부를 니카라과의 콘트라 반군에 지원한 일로, 특별검사도 나서고 미국 정치계가 한바탕 큰 소동을 벌여야만 했던 문제였다고 합니다. 중간에 ((frequently))가 어처구니없게도 풋볼로 들려서 나중에 내용 확인 후 혀를 차야만 했습니다. ((reveal))도 ((review))로 듣고 이래저래 여전히 어렵네요. 고위공직에 있던 사람들은 꼭 나중에 한 권씩 책을 쓰네요. 낸시여사가 영부인의 신분으로 점집을 드나들었다는군요. 어제 힐러리도 ‘살아있는 역사’라는 저서 출판회를 하더니만… 단어가 그리 어렵지는 않은데 스피드가 문제네요. 정말 수십 차례 비슷한 속도로 따라 하고 나서 다시 들어보면 훨씬 잘 들립니다. 고수들이 추천하는 공통된 방법은 역시 효과가 입증된 것인가 봅니다. 계속 듣고 말하고 받아쓰다 보면 언젠가는 길이 열린다….Hope all is well.
A study has found that an expensive drug approved during the 1990s works no better than ordinary aspirin at preventing recurring strokes in Blacks. In fact, there were hints that aspirin might indeed do a better job.

이래저래 아쉬움이 많이 남는 받아쓰기네요. 조금만 더 신경 쓰면 좋았을 걸 싶은… 한 연구 보고서에 따르면 1990년대에 승인을 받은 고가의 의약품이 흑인들의 뇌졸중 재발을 막는데 일반 아스피린만도 못하다는 결과가 나왔네요. 심지어는 아스피린의 효과가 더 나을 수도 있다고 판단되는 내용도 있다고 합니다. Black에 무슨 병명이 있나 했더니 ((in blacks))였군요. 그리고 ((reoccurring))을 듣는데 (r) 사운드는 들리는데 음가는 짧고 해서 틀린 건가 했더니 역시 다른 단어군요. ((recur, 재발하다)) 사전을 확인해보니 ((reoccur))란 단어는 없네요. ^^;;; Hope all is well.
