...after Bhutto was killed, Brigadier Javed Iqbal Cheema, a senior official at the Interior Ministry, held a press conference, on Musharraf's instructions, to pin the assassination on Pakistani Taliban leader Baitullah Mehsud, who was killed last August in a rocket strike in South Waziristan - a claim later supported by the CIA. According to the report, it was no secret that Pakistan's militants loathed Bhutto and her stance against Islamist violence. But the Musharraf government's "hasty" announcement, the report says, "was premature at best" and "prejudiced the police investigations which had not yet begun...
...seem, there may be a method in Karzai's madness.

When the topic turned to Barack Obama, she confessed deep fears. "I don't think the President really cares about our health care," Morton says. "He's not trying to lead America. He's trying to position himself to be a leader higher up, and the only...
...Fall of the Sheriff Spitzer exudes the aura of someone who has been pricked with a pin and now moves through the world partially deflated. He has a thin frame and a slight hunch to his shoulders, and the pugnacious set of his jaw is gone. But that voice - the booming, forceful aspect is still there, even if it's only coming at you from across a desk at his father's real estate firm, where Spitzer now spends his days puttering around before heading home at 6 to make dinner for his daughters. He talks extremely quickly, answers questions...
