Canadian soldiers killed
Some Canadians are rethinking their country's role in the U.S.-led war on terrorism prompted by the Sept. 11 attacks in the United States Canadian forces are fighting alongside U.S. and European troops seeking to hunt down remnants of Osama bin Laden's terrorist organization and holdouts from Afghanistan's former ruling Taliban militia.

"I initially supported sending our troops over there," Toronto real estate agent Carolyn Curren said. "I still support some involvement in terms of peacekeeping and helping to organize a new regime. But I don't support the ongoing war as it exists at the moment."
TORONTO — Many Canadians questioned their military involvement in Afghanistan yesterday after four Canadian soldiers were killed accidentally by a U.S. bomb. Prime Minister Jean Chretien pledged an investigation but said the deaths were the cost of defending freedom.
The story of how the four were killed — and eight of their colleagues were wounded — by a 500-pound bomb during a Wednesday night training exercise in a clearly marked area has dominated newscasts here and sparked both sympathy and anger.
be killed? There is no reason (for us) to be in Afghanistan."
"Canadians are never attacked by terrorists so Canadians shouldn't be there," said Richard Sella manager at Toronto's 97 Bistro. "Why are we sending our own people over there to
But Chreuien said during a speech yesterday to the national Parliament in Ottawa that the deaths reminded Canadians of the "precious cost that comes with the standing up for the rights and freedoms that we hold so dear."
Nonetheless, he pledged to investigate the deaths.
"We have so many questions," he said. "Extensive training for combat is meant to save lives. How does this happen? In this awful case it took so many lives, and I want to assure the families and the people of Canada that these questions will be answered."
The bodies of the four victims likely would be flown to Ramstein Air base in Germany on Friday, said Airman 1st Class Julie Weckerlein, spokeswoman for the 86th Airlift Wing based there.

Stovall's campaign funds may go to running mate
TOPEKA —If Kent Glasscock runs for governor, he could keep some of the money raised by Attorney General Carla Stovall in her own abandoned gubernatorial campaign, the state ethics board ruled yesterday.
Stovall's departure raised questions of whether the Glasscock would now seek the GOP nomination for governor in the Aug. 6 primary, and what becomes of Stovall's campaign funds.
Glasscock's aides, while reporting yesterday that he had not yet decided whether to run, would not say how much money is in Stovall's campaign account.
Under Kansas law, the money he doesn't claim would be returned to donors, contributed to charity, given to the Republican Party or turned over to the state.
Governor vetoes license plate bill
TOPEKA—Gov. Bill Graves yesterday vetoed a bill authorizing Kansas license plates with the phrase "Choose Life," saying plates "should not be used as moving billboards for editorial comment."
Graves saw the goal otherwise, telling legislators in his veto message that license plates are a tool to help law enforcement identify vehicles, not a medium for making political statements.
