Courts hear pros and cons of medical marijuana
The Supreme Court weighed whether medical use of marijuana can overcome federal illegality. A ruling for the Oakland Cannabis Buyers Cooperative could let clubs resume distributing the drug in California, while a ruling for the federal government would curb such activity. Justices questioned the medical necessity defense as applied to a nonpatient business. California supports the Oakland club as state law allows ill patients to use marijuana.

The Bush administration criticized the attack and said force cannot end the conflict. Spokesman Richard Boucher affirmed Israel's security needs but rejected a military solution, following the U.S. veto at the UN on a Palestinian observer force. Arafat met Arab leaders in Amman as they pledged aid and urged a lasting peace. Erekat called the strikes a premeditated aggression, promising escalation.
