The Independent argues the UN Security Council nears a compromise on Iraq with Western powers seeking cover and calls for UN led inspections and firm action to avoid rifts in the international alliance.

Ottawa Used Truck Purchase Derailed Over Tire Issues
A Franklin County resident recounts stopping at a local Ottawa dealership to place a $500 hold on a four wheel drive truck.

The dealer offered to replace two tires at no charge but retained the option to charge for light truck tires. The shopper returned Tuesday to request a refund.
