<b>Paraguay's new president clears the decks</b>
Paraguay's new president is replacing most of the country's top military leaders.
Presidential spokesman Augusto Dos Santos says newly inaugurated President Fernando Lugo has signed 30 decrees naming new heads of the impoverished country's army, air force and navy.
On Tuesday, Lugo replaced the nation's police commander.
The left-leaning leader pledged last week to reform the nation's military, saying soldiers would now perform humanitarian tasks for the poor.
In a speech, Lugo said the military will "never again ... be used to repress or harass" the people.
His inauguration ends more than six decades of one-party rule.
