Betty NGUYEN, CNN anchor: "In the news now": the Iraqi president has rejected an important report on Iraq.
He said that the proposal of the Iraqi research group had undermined the sovereignty of the country.
President Talabani said the report was unfair and unjust.
In a live report in Baghdad, we will learn more about the story.
It's in less than two minutes.

CNN anchor Holmes: A bribery survey and $90,000 of cold, hard cash are stuck in the refrigerator, which is not enough to lose work on behalf of William Jefferson.
Jefferson won 57% of the vote in yesterday's special runoff.
Unidentified man: three, two, one, we have a booster ignition, the space shuttle Discovery lifted off to illuminate the night sky.
After two weather delays, they finally got on the road.
The shuttle took off from Florida last night.
The discovery will be docked at the International Space Station tomorrow, and the crew will do some rewiring work, scheduled for 12-day mission.
Unidentified male: the removal of the Christmas tree was never our intention and the decision was clearly made on behalf of the port. HOLMES: 'Tis --
Seattle airport is obviously not the season.
We will tell you why the Christmas tree was demolished and it was also demolished.
NGUYEN: people are angry about it.
Yes, they are.
NGUYEN: we will share some of themmails with you.
We will discuss this issue later.
But at the CNN Center in Atlanta, it's CNN on Sunday morning.

Donald rensfi expressed his gratitude to the army, while an Iraqi leader said he did not thank an important report on the war.
More information about the defense minister's visit to Iraq in a minute, but the first Iraqi president rejected the advice of an influential research group.
Senior International Correspondent Nick Robertson is on the spot with us in Baghdad.
Let's talk about the ISG report and why the Iraqi president is not happy with it.
Actually, doesn't he think it's dangerous, Nic?
Nick Robertson, CNN senior correspondentINT'L.
Reporter: dangerous, unfair and unjust, he said.
Betty, incredibly, this is the most senior Iraqi official who has criticized the report in a very condemned way. He is a Kurd.
Kurds from the north of the country are often very, very supportive of what the United States is doing in Iraq.
So it is very surprising to hear his criticism at this time.
He criticized it because he said it left too much AmericaS.
Too much impact on the Iraqi army;
Military trainers.
'We can do better ourselves, 'he said.
And by bringing the United StatesS.
The sovereignty of the armed forces has undermined the sovereignty of the state.
He said it was unfair. (

Several Iraq In JALAL: I think Baker
Hamilton is unfair and unfair.
It contains very dangerous provisions that undermine Iraq's sovereignty and constitution. (END VIDEO CLIP)
Roberston: there's some background as well.
Another Kurdish leader in Iraq said that the report of the research team was flawed because a report said that they did not go to talk to the Kurds when they came to Iraq, but more importantly, he said it would take control of local governments such as the Kurdish government, which is placed under central control in Baghdad.
He said it would reduce the impact of Kurds on their oil revenues.
It seems that this is all about oil.
It's all oil fields in the Kurdish region.
It seems that the Kurds have lost control of these oil revenues.
They always wanted to be more independent.
It seems to be a very, very Kurdish complaint about the report of the Iraqi research group, Betty, if you like.
NGUYEN: It's all a matter of the Army, says Donald lensfeld.
In fact, the outgoing defense minister made an unexpected visit.
Tell me what happened?
Robertson: Betty, he has traveled all over the country, perhaps his biggest visit in Iraq, and we have seen the minister of defense participate in this visit.
It happened in a confidential manner.
Even the military spokesman here is aware of the defense minister's visit.
He visited Al Asad air base in western Iraq.
He visited a folk Air Force Base, a huge base about 50 miles north of Baghdad, the main medical facility in Iraq-emergency medical facility.
He visited with the troops there and thanked them.
He also came to Baghdad, met with the troops there, ate with them, and thanked them.
It was a very big trip.
It was a very personal issue and he wanted to thank the general and the commander and personally thank the troops for their efforts and sacrifices here and for the sacrifices of their families, Betty.
NGUYEN: cnn's Nic Robertson joined us live in Baghdad.
Thanks, Nic.
Message from co-
Later this morning, the chairman of the Iraq research group was on the eastern 11 th.
Wolf Blitzer interviewed Lee Hamilton and James Baker.
This was later on the "Late Edition" of eastern 11, just on CNN.
We finally took off.
Spectacular night
It was even the launch time of the space shuttle Discovery.
The Discovery and seven crew members are now heading to the International Space Station, where CNN's Brianna Keilar and the astronauts have more to do. (Start Video)
Unidentified man: three, two, one, we have the booster of the space shuttle Discovery ignited and lifted off, illuminating the night sky.
CNN Correspondent brianna keilar, CNN Sunday morning (voice over)
: After two days of weather delays, space shuttle Discovery went to the International Space Station, where astronauts will take three spacewalks to reconnect some of the equipment of the International Space Station, make way for new science modules to accommodate new solar panels.
This was the first night launch since the 2003 launch of the space shuttle Columbia, when the foam fell off the external fuel tank and damaged the hot tiles, eventually leading to the Columbia 7-member crew.
Unidentified male: The lights are very good when the plume of the host expands, and you can see very good views below the orbiter.
From the point of view of damage, we do not see any results.
KEILAR: only two of the seven astronauts found were in space.
Commander Mike Curbeam Polanksy and mission expert Roger.
In the next six months, Senta Williams is one of the five rookies.
Astronaut sunita williams, space shuttle Discovery: opened the hatch for the first time and could see the Earth with only my sun visor-
You know, the window between me and the earth, I think it would be great.
So I really look forward to it. KEILAR (on camera)

Yes, the Christmas tree at Seattle airport was torn down yesterday because of a complaint.
Kim Holcombe, King of the league, has this story. (Start Video)
King's television reporter kim holcomb (voice over)
This is the busiest time of the year in the sea.
Tac for one reason.
They are here.
HOLCOMB: thousands of families on holiday, but in the symbolic evergreen tree, the purpose of the rush is no longer visible in the terminal.
Airport officials said a huge Christmas tree and other small Christmas trees were removed overnight.
Woman: I think sometimes the voice of ethnic minorities is dominant.
Unidentified male: It's a bit sad that we have to do this now.
It seems to try to please everyone.
Airport officials said it was not a simple complaint.
A rabbi threatened to file a lawsuit if the court did not allow him to hold a public light party next to the trees.
The best way for their Port board to decide is to take them down.
Terry Ann betangu, SEA-
TAC public affairs manager: our focus is on customer service to get our passengers through the airport.
We think that if we can cut down the tree and avoid litigation, because we don't want to file a lawsuit with this person.
We want to reach some solutions.
But this requires some thoughtful discussion, and we hope to have time for a thoughtful discussion.
HOLCOMB: a response to a traveler sending unattended messages to more people.
Unidentified Woman: So for me, taking the Christmas tree just says Christmas doesn't count.
Unidentified male: When will we take off the wreath and when will the winter green tree take off?
HOLCOMB: Many of these symbols are still hanging behind the airline and the rental counter, as well as the Sea-
Tac said they will stay here with more hope. JIM, SEA-
TAC staff: they may come up with their own solution to demonstrate tomorrow.
I think they will bring their own Christmas tree. (END VIDEOTAPE)

Patricia Davis
Seattle port Council: we don't have enough time to find a solution to this problem, but because the time is too close, the rabbi told us after several ultimatum, they will sue the port in federal court.
When the commission heard about it on Thursday afternoon, the threat was to sue us at 10: 00 The next day, Friday.
We discuss the fact that we do represent the very diverse population of Kim county in the Pacific Northwest, and in fact, we want to respect all cultures, however, we don't have enough time to address how to adapt to all cultures that may wish to be represented.
Rabbi elazar bogomilsky, moderator "shmoze RADIO": Removing the Christmas tree was never our intention and this decision was clearly made on behalf of the port.
We were all shocked and we were all surprised and, to say the least, we were all shocked by the decision to remove the Christmas tree.
I mean, it's been 25 years since the Christmas tree.
The Christmas tree is a symbol of the spirit of the festival.
People look forward to it.
Thousands of people leave Seattle every day and thousands go home. (END VIDEO CLIP)
Holmes: So, when talking about the holidays, the political correctness is too much.
We have received your reply and read them and they are very attractive.
We got a lot--
Please let them continue.
We will read more about what you have to say on the news show later.
NGUYEN: there are people on both sides, but what I want to say is that nine out of ten are angry at the whole fact that the trees are cut down.
One of the stories you're going to tell.
Here's another story of scratching your head.
Who stole Jesus? (

Unidentified woman: it is impossible to be a wise man, because one of the wise men has been stolen, so it is impossible to be one of them. (END VIDEO CLIP)
NGUYEN: it's impossible to be one of them. (LAUGHTER)
This is our favorite clip of the past few weeks.
Love: love.
But the children in kindergarten discovered the true meaning of Christmas.
They are raising money for the birth of a stolen Jesus.
We will talk to one of the children.
Later, shoes were the girl's best friend.
And, of course, diamonds.
But now we're talking about shoes.
How about these shoes that can help you find the perfect man?
The shoe psychologist gave us a scoop on how to figure out what type of man you're dating by looking at his kick. (

NGUYEN: we're gone.
Yesterday there was a lot of red in the center of Las Vegas;
The 5 k charity event is known as the "Great Santa race" and "Chris Klingle jingle ".
They jingle there.
The $45 registration fee gives each runner £ 5.

Because he was stolen.
Man: It's terrible!
Man: Yes.
Can you imagine someone stealing Jesus?
Isn't that terrible?
Man: Yes. (END VIDEO CLIP)
Holmes: this is the worst thing I 've heard in a long time.
You know, it's not right to steal things, but of all the things you're going to steal, how are you going to steal baby Jesus?
Jesus the baby? !
Holmes: this is a crime.
But this is the case.
The vandals destroyed the scene of the birth of Jesus.
Yes, they took baby Jesus.
For the kindergarten of the sacred school, there is too much injustice in all this ---
You can also hear some people in our newsroom getting frustrated with this.
Stephanie Van Duze and some of her classmates replaced the scene of Jesus's birth with money to sell cupcakes.
She was here with her mother Tara this morning.
Good morning both of you.
Thank you for coming.
Nice to meet you.
I'm sorry because someone stole baby Jesus.
Stephanie, you tell me first, what do you think when you hear someone stealing baby Jesus from the scene of Jesus' birth?
Stephanie Van Duze raised money for the birth of Jesus-
Are you not happy about this? VAN DUZER:Yeah.
Can you believe someone did this? VAN DUZER:Yes.
Can you believe it?
Tara Van Duze, Stephen's mother: No, you can't believe it. (LAUGHTER)
Holmes: You can't believe it when I hear it.
What do you think would happen to those who destroyed this scene of the birth of Jesus and stole the baby Jesus?
Go to jail.
They should go to jail. VAN DUZER:Yeah.
Okay, mom.
Tara, you tell me what you think when you hear about this scene of the birth of Jesus. T.
Well, this is very unfortunate.
Stephanie was worried when we saw it in the newspaper on Monday morning.
So I explained it to her.
Let her know that in this world, sometimes we have some bad guys doing bad things.
Holmes: is it really harder for parents?
How old is Stephanie? T.
Stephanie is five years old.
Holmes: I think, explaining to a child something as pure, fun and complete as Christmas, would it be much more difficult for someone to do something like this?
Is this a tricky and difficult thing for all of you? T.
Van Duze: Well, one thing, because you want to keep them innocent and protect them from such things.
But, unfortunately, with TV and newspapers, they will see it on TV.
So I just explained this to her as much as I can and she was very worried that baby Jesus was gone.
And, you know, obviously, she went to school with her classmates and left school.
Stephanie, you tell me what happened at school.
How did you make the plan? What is the plan?
What do you all decide to do?
I think you want to talk about it, though you don't want to talk to me this morning.
Dear, a little shy this morning.
It's okay.
Well, Mom, you tell me, what's this class doing? -
Tell me what they want to help? T.
Van Duze: Sorry, usually we can't keep her quiet.
Apparently, they sell cupcakes at school once a month for 25 cents.
She mentioned to me one morning that she asked if I could give my coin to Little Jesus instead of buying cupcakes?
I said, of course. go ahead.
I didn't think of it until I found out that she had suggested to the teacher.
Like I said, it took off from there.
The kindergarten students are very good.
The rest of the school is in place.
The children are wonderful and all parents should be very, very proud of our children.
Holmes: Stephanie, I will give you the last sentence if you can come up with one for me.
Are you satisfied with the results of all this? T.
Van Duze: Are you satisfied with the results of all this?
Van Duze: solved it. T.
Is the result good? VAN DUZER:Yeah. T. VAN DUZER:OK.
Holmes: Okay.
Mom, I'm glad to have you here. T.
Van DUZER: Thank you very much.
Holmes: I don't know what I will do without you this morning.
Stephanie, and mom Tara. T.
Do you want to say goodbye? VAN DUZER:Bye.
Holmes: Goodbye, everyone. Good job.
I'm glad you guys--
I hate that you have to learn the lesson, but it's a good thing that you all do the right thing.
Merry Christmas. you all had a good time. T.
Thank you. thank you.
Holmes: happy holiday to you. T.
I wish you a happy holiday.
Thank you. thank you. Happy Holidays.
Lesson: class here because mom can save the day, so be sure to take mom with you.
Holmes: Mom just saved the day for me. Thank you, Mom.

CNN reporter Gary Nurberg (voice-over)
: The Festival of buying large electronic products may make consumers think Halloween is not Christmas. Think vampires.
ASST Energy Minister Alexander Carlner: it is possible for all devices to become vampire devices, because when they are in standby mode, it is indeed a feature of sucking out extra power.
NURENBERG: for example, this washing machine needs power to keep the electronic keyboard ready even if it looks completely off.
Alan Mel of Lawrence Berkeley NATL lab: it consumes about two Watts in standby.
Alan Meyer has been working on vampire electronics for years.
Maier: every family has 10 to 50 such products, which adds up to the equivalent of a month of your electricity bill.
NURENBERG: insert this DVD player that does not play the DVD into the electric energy meter, showing the consumption of 11.
Power on 32 watts.
But I turned it off and now it's 6 watts.
NURENBERG: because of the need for "instant on", closing does not mean closing.
Even Mel will be surprised.
These electric toothbrushes do not consume much power. . .
But plug in the meter.
Well, I was wrong. Here --
This electric toothbrush is about 1.
8 watts, so the electricity consumption is about $2.

Now, of course, we want to go back to our problems today.
Throughout the morning, we are asking you what you think about the holiday.
PC holiday because it's gone too far?
This is, of course, after the story of Seattle.
They cut down the Christmas tree because of the rabbi's complaint. . .
NGUYEN: and want to put a menorah next to it. -an eight-
Foot menorah, please note that he will sue if it is not fixed within 24 hours.
So they took everything down and that's all you have to say. Got those e-mails in hand.
There are many here.
Cindy's first one, she said it was easy, and since the rabbi stole Christmas, Grinch could officially retire.
"Yes, next is Alison from Florida," I celebrate the festival of light, and I must tell you how I was shocked by how the rabbi had such an unpleasant smell of the Christmas tree rising.
Although I do not celebrate Christmas, I believe that holiday decorations are just holiday decorations, and they do not represent the religious or spiritual aspects of Christianity in any case.
Threatening to file a lawsuit, unless someone has filed menorah, will only ruin the whole idea of happy holidays!
NGUYEN: Well, Steve from New York said, "Why not allow menorah to be tolerated and disposed?
I think the airport is intentional.
Respond to this situation and make improper criticisms of the rabbi.
Holmes: Finally Tim said, "I think the airport is doing the right thing in terms of removing the Christmas tree.
In fact, we are a society with a high degree of religious diversity, but in the public space, the symbol of Christianity dominates.
Airports, shops, schools and other public places should find a better way to represent our religious diversity. . .
"This is Tim wishing us a happy holiday.
"NGUYEN: when it comes to holidays, it feels very similar in such cold weather outside.
Renault Wolf checked this. Hi there. (WEATHER REPORT)
