WASHINGTON — The United States must do what is right to defend freedom for all people, U.S. President George W. Bush said Monday in Cleveland, Ohio.
   "History has called us into action," the president told about 3,000 people representing local community groups, charities, nonprofit groups and school-choice organizations assembled at Cleveland's State Theater.
   "For the sake of our young, for the sake of our children and our grandchildren," he said, "we must be strong enough and resolved enough to defend freedom to the core, to not waiver or tire in the face of an enemy that hopes that we relinquish our love for freedom and the values that we hold dear in America.
   "I want the youngsters here to understand this great country doesn't seek revenge, we seek justice," Bush continued. "This great country, when we go somewhere, we don't go as conquerors. We go as liberators." More

   WASHINGTON — Americans should remain vigilant, but go ahead with their plans to celebrate Independence Day, the Fourth of July, say top U.S. government officials.
   Speaking on CBS-TV's "Face the Nation" program on Sunday, U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell said he didn't want to "over-hype" the fact that U.S. intelligence officials put out a "prudent alert" to law enforcement agencies regarding the holiday period. He said there have been some Al Qaeda and other reports and that it's a time for heightened awareness.
   Intelligence and law enforcement officials are carefully examining all intelligence information and will be meeting regularly during the next couple of days to assess any additional threats that may come in, Powell said. More
