Congress can change or cancel either promise by legislation. Yes, I mentioned that in a subsequent post. For the rest of us , we need a mandatory Defined contribution pension plan with only certain approved investments. Why does it need to be mandatory?

In addition to OBL's#3-THIS: Key Aide to Al Qaeda Leader in Iraq Captured Sunday, May 08, 2005 foxnews.com BAGHDAD, Iraq — U.S. security forces captured a key associate to the Al Qaeda leader in Iraq, Jordanian militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, FOX News has learned. A government statement said Amar al-Zubaydi, also known as Abu Abbas, was captured three days ago in Baghdad. Al-Zubaydi allegedly helped plan an attack on Abu Ghraib prison in April in which up to 60 insurgents attacked a U.S. base with homicide car bombs and rocket-propelled grenades, wounding at least 20 U.S. troops and 12 detainees. Zubaydi was also allegedly involved in a string of car bombings in Baghdad in April. Meanwhile, coalition forces killed six terrorists in raids targeting the terror network of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi (search) near the Syrian border on Sunday, the U.S. military said. Weapons caches were found during the operations in Qaim city, and 54 terrorists were detained, the military said in a statement. It also said that Ghassan Muhammad Amin Husayn al-Rawi, a militant in al-Zarqawi's group who was captured on April 26, had provided intelligence that had helped lead to Sunday's raids. Al-Zarqawi, a Jordanian and the most wanted man in Iraq (search), is the leader of the terrorist group Al Qaeda in Iraq and has declared his allegiance to Usama bin Laden's (search) Al Qaeda network. Al-Zarqawi is tied to many bombings and kidnappings since the U.S.-led invasion removed Saddam Hussein (search) from power more than two years ago. The U.S. military has said al-Rawi had helped Al Qaeda in Iraq (search) arrange meetings and move foreign insurgents into Iraq. U.S. forces believe they just missed capturing al-Zarqawi himself during a Feb. 20 raid in Iraq that netted two of his associates and a computer believed to belong to him. The U.S. military said Friday that coalition forces had captured or killed hundreds of al-Zarqawi followers in recent months, including 20 top lieutenants and other senior members.
