Nearly half of U.S. diplomats unwilling to volunteer to work in Iraq say one reason for their refusal is they do not agree with Bush administration's policies in the country, according to a survey released Tuesday. Security concerns and separation from family ranked as the top reasons for not wanting to serve in Iraq. But 48 percent cited "disagreement" with administration policy as a factor in their opposition, said the survey conducted by the American Foreign Service Association, the union that represents U.S. diplomats.... Of respondents who said they were unwilling to serve voluntarily in Iraq, separation from family was identified as a reason by 64 percent, security concerns by 61 percent and policy disagreement by 48 percent.

How will Hillary perform? She does well in debates. She's disciplined. She learned a lesson last night. So -- MATTHEWS: Except in Philly. DONAHUE: Except in Philly.
Stephanie Stahl
Industry and community groups alike have recognized her for her investigative approach to medical news coverage. A story she exposed in 2000 about an e-coli outbreak in the Philadelphia region is typical of her hard news approach to medical reporting. That investigation was instrumental to the development of new federal recommendations for petting zoos. Stahl joined CBS 3 in 1992. Previously, she had been an anchor/reporter for WCAU-TV since 1986. A native of South Florida, Stahl began her broadcasting career at WRC-TV in Washington, D. C. She was an anchor/reporter at WPEC-TV in West Palm Beach, Florida and at Miami's WSVN-TV before coming to Philadelphia. Women In Communications recognized Stahl's contributions in 1997 by presenting her its highest honor, the Sarah Award.
