BEIJING A long-awaited government report said design flaws and sloppy management
caused a bullet train crash in July that killed 40 people and
triggered a public outcry over the high cost and dangers of China's
showcase transportation system.A former railway minister was among 54 officials found responsible
for the crash, a Cabinet statement said Wednesday.The crash report was highly
anticipated by the public. Regulations required the government to release the report
by Nov. 20. When that date passed, the government offered little explanation,
drawing renewed criticism by state media, which have been unusually skeptical about
the handling of the accident and the investigation.The Cabinet statement cited "serious
design flaws and major safety risks" and what it said were a
string of errors in equipment procurement and management.The report affirmed earlier government
statements that a lightning strike caused one bullet train to stall and
a sensor failure allowed

the greatest threat that the world faces, is a nuclear Iran. ...
We have differing views on this," Romney said at a cafe in
Muscatine, Iowa. "Actually one of the people running for president thinks it's
OK for Iran to have a nuclear weapon. I don't."Former House Speaker
Newt Gingrich, whose numbers in Iowa have dropped precipitously while Paul's have
climbed, has emerged as one of the Texas congressman's toughest critics in
the closing days of the Iowa blitz.Asked Tuesday whom he would vote
for if left with a choice between Paul and President Obama, Gingrich
bucked Republicans' typical anybody-but-Obama answer, calling that a "very hard choice.""I think
Barack Obama is very destructive to the future of the United States.
I think Ron Paul's views are totally outside the mainstream of virtually
every decent American," he said.Gingrich continued to criticize Paul over a series

from their party posts, a penalty that is likely to end their

possible criminal charges.The bullet train, based on German and Japanese systems, is
one facet of far-reaching government technology ambitions that call for developing a
civilian jetliner, a Chinese mobile phone standard and advances in areas from
nuclear power to genetics.The bullet train system quickly grew to be the

trains used on the Beijing-to-Shanghai line were recalled for repairs following delays
caused by equipment failures.Critics complain authorities have spent too much on high-speed

NEW YORK Three security contractors including two Americans were released by
Iraqi Army forces Tuesday after they were held for more than two
weeks, the chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security announced as
he demanded a full report on the episode.Republican Peter King identified the
men as Army veteran Alex Antiohos of West Babylon, N.Y., National Guardsman
Jonas March of Savannah, Georgia and Kevin Fisher of Fiji.King said they
were working for a security firm when Iraqi Ministry of Defense officials
rejected paperwork prepared on their behalf by the Iraqi Ministry of Interior
and began holding them on Dec. 9.The men weren't charged with any
crimes and King said it appeared that the men were not injured.He
said Antiohos, who lives on Long Island, spoke to his wife Tuesday
evening, and he was expected to be home later this week."She said
he seems to be doing well," he said.King said they were released
after efforts by his office, the State Depart

terror, a conflict that is hard to define by conventional measures of
success."This is not a war on a particular place or a particular
force," he said.Bush himself illustrated the perils of celebrating milestones in the
war, Mrozek said, when he landed on an aircraft carrier and hailed
the end of major combat operations in Iraq behind a "Mission Accomplished"
banner in May 2003. U.S. troops remained in Iraq for 8 1/2
more years, and Bush was criticized over the banner.The benchmarks were clearer
in previous wars. After World War II, parades marked Japan's surrender. After
the Gulf War, celebrations marked the troops' return after Iraqi forces were
driven out of Kuwait.The only mass celebrations of U.S. military activities since
Sept. 11, 2001, were largely spontaneous: Large crowds gathered in Times Square
and outside the White House in April after Usama bin Laden was
killed.At the same time, Iraq veterans aren
