Father allowed separate evaluation for competency
LEAVENWORTH —A judge has delayed ruling on whether a man is competent to stand trial on charges that he stabbed his son and left him along an interstate, where he died after being hit by a car.
Leavenworth County Judge Frederick Stewart on Friday agreed to allow the defense team to conduct a separate evaluation of Raymond Boothe, 34, who is charged with first-degree murder in the Aug. 27 death of his 11-year-old son, Raymond Levi Boothe.
Deborah Owens, victim/witness coordinator for the Leavenworth County attorney's office, said psychiatrists at Larned State Hospital had found Boothe competent to stand trial.

Long prison sentence expected for pharmacist
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A former pharmacist who admitted diluting thousands of prescriptions should receive the maximum 30-year sentence allowed under a plea agreement, prosecutors argued Friday.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Gene Porter called Robert R. Courtney "cold-blooded," "heinous" and "sadistically cruel" in a court filing that laid out arguments for a long prison term. Courtney, 50, is scheduled for sentencing Dec. 5.
After he was charged, Courtney told the FBI that greed motivated him to dilute the drugs. But when he pleaded guilty he told the judge he had searched his soul and could find "no rational explanation."
In his plea agreement, Courtney admitted diluting the expensive cancer drugs for 34 patients on 158 separate occasions.
Journalist finds Hussein's unchecked e-mail inbox
DURHAM, N.H. — Even Saddam Hussein gets spam.
He also gets e-mail purporting to be from U.S, companies offering business deals, and threats, according to a journalist who figured out a way into an Iraqi government e-mail account and downloaded more than 1,000 messages.
Brian McWilliams, a free-lancer who specializes in Internet security, said he hardly needed high-level hacking skills to snoop through e-mail addressed to Saddam.
While doing research late one October night, the Durham resident clicked on the official Iraqi government Web site, http://www.uruklink.net/Iran
The site, which worked last week but was offline yesterday, included links that allow visitors to send e-mail to Saddam and allowed users of the government-controlled site, which is hosted in Dubai, to check their own accounts.
That mail-checking feature caught McWilliams' eye. On a whim, he typed in the address for Saddam, "press@uruklink.net," using "press" for president, and tried "press" again as a possible password.

U.N. weapons inspector assembles team for Iraq
LARNACA, Cyprus — The chief U.N. weapons inspector landed in Cyprus yesterday to assemble his team for a return to Baghdad and said the "question of war and peace" awaited an answer from Saddam Hussein.
President Bush has warned that Saddam faces military action if he fails to cooperate fully with the inspectors, who will fly to Iraq today. Saddam faces a three-week deadline to reveal weapons of mass destruction or provide convincing evidence he no longer has any.
Chief U.N. inspector Hans Blix and Mohamed ElBaradei, overseeing the International Atomic Energy Agency's search for nuclear arms, flew to Cyprus from Vienna, Austria. They joined about two dozen other members of the advance team assembling here to prepare for a resumption of inspections after a nearly four-year absence.
