...Bush's closest advisor, is as much a target of Democratic interest as Gonzales is, and already it appears Sampson may walk back some of the assertions the Justice Department made regarding Rove's ignorance of the firings. In a surprising move Wednesday, the Justice Department released a new batch of over 200 documents and a correction. Acting Assistant Attorney General Richard A. Hertling said in a letter to the Senate Democratic leadership and top Judiciary committee Senators today that parts of a Feb. 23 response had been "contradicted" by documents later released by the Department. The Feb. 23 letter...
...down by small arms, not by missiles," Marine General Peter Pace, chairman of the Joint Chiefs, told a Senate panel Tuesday before the latest loss. Unfortunately, there is no shortage of AK-47s in greater Baghdad. Other Pentagon officials wonder if the insurgents have gotten hold of a fresh batch of SA-7 Grail shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles. While a primitive heat-seeker, its range of more than three miles is bound to find its target occasionally. Pace didn't have a quick solution...

The problem for Lula and Brazil is that changing that putrid political system involves politicians voting for their demise. That isn't going to happen, and certainly not with the likes of Maluf and Collor in Congress. It's going...
...playground slowly took shape, the pace quickened. Sometimes bad weather or ebbing enthusiasm can delay the work, but the Ocean Breeze project was free of such annoyances. By midafternoon of the fifth day, Robert Becker, 26, was delivering a final batch of sand in a borrowed backhoe, while Gary Craycroft, who had last hung swings for his baby daughter Penny, now put them up with her help. Said Penny, 14: "It's been neat. I'll never forget working at night with the lights on." But Leathers is out to impress the adults as much as their children. "They start...
