Bush says Iraqis ready to assume political power
President Bush told lawmakers Iraqis are ready to take the training wheels off and assume political power from the U S led coalition as the June 30 transfer of sovereignty approaches. He warned of tougher days ahead and outlined a rough handover plan while reaffirming his commitment to U S policy despite sliding approval ratings. Secretary Powell said Brahimi is close to naming the future Iraqi leaders, working with Iraqis and Blackwill to finalize acceptable officials.

Boyd pleads guilty in long running case with weakened witness
The 20 month case ends as key witness who wore a wiretap died weeks ago, making conviction unlikely. Judge Garnati notes Boyd may use probation to reform while Sheriff Wilson says the COMIT probe harmed the department and one innocent officer was hurt, but vindication arrived with the plea.
