 The Defense Department distanced itself Tuesday from a defense think tank recommendation that the United States  stanley usa  target  Saudi oil fie stanley quencher lds and financial assets if the Arab nation doesn t do more to fight terrorism.The suggestion was made in a briefing to the Defense Policy Board, a group of intellectuals and former senior officials that advises the Pentagon.

 The Cadillac Escalade EXT, a $53,000 chrome-trimmed luxury pickup with leather bucket seats, a seven-speaker stereo system wit stanley cup h satellite radio and a global tracking system, is the vehicle most targeted by thieves, a study by the insurance industry found.It s the second year in a row that stanley ca  an Escalade has been at the top of the list, which was released Tuesday by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The Escalade sport utility vehicle topped last year s list; this year, that SUV is third.The Nissan Maxima, a midsize sedan, is the second most likely to be stolen among newer vehicles. The Maxima s theft rate went up after the company began installing expensive, high-intensity headlights as standard equipment in 2002, the institute said.The institute calculated which newer vehicles are most likely to be stolen by looking at theft claims per 1,000 insured vehicles from model years 2001 to 2003. The Escalade EXT had a claim rate of 20.2. The lowest-ranking vehicles - the Buick LeSabre, Buic stanley cup k Park Avenue and Ford Taurus station wagon - had claim rates of 0.5.The Escalade EXT, which starts at $53,665, debuted in 2002. Owners often add custom wheels and spinning rims that can increase the vehicle s cost by more than $10,000 - and help make it seven to eight times more likely to be stolen than the average new vehicle.         Stolen Escalades are sometimes found resting on blocks without their wheels,  said Kim Hazelbaker, senior vice president of the insurance institute s Highwa Gazn Terror Group Linked To Hotel Blast

 A panel formed to revamp Illinois  death penalty has recommended dozens of changes - including drastically reducing the number of circumstances warranting execution - but a majority of panelists doubt the system can be fixed.The recommendations came more than two years after Gov. George Ryan suspended executions in the state after investigations that found several prisoners scheduled for execution were innocent -- a scenario that death penalty opponents say is not unique to Illinois. In all, 38 states have death laws on their books but the American Bar Association has called for a moratorium on executions nationally and opponents have grown more vocal.Illinois reinstated the death penalty in 1977 and carried out 12 executions before Ryan imposed the moratorium. At the time he noted that 13 death row inmates had been exonerated. Some inmates released from death row were found innocent following investigations by Northwestern University journalism students, and a 1999 Chicago Tribune investigative series uncovered serious flaws in the state s death penalty system.        The panel stopped short of recommending abolishing capital punishment, noting that panelists we stanley cup re asked only to recommend fixes to the current system.
