...reveal whether or not he talked to a journalist. Then the journalist was pressed to tell who spilled, who gave him the scoop. It was a case of the ultimate betrayal, and I held my breath, even after they announced Kelly’s suicide. Who was to blame? Who hounded too hard, and who did not confess when he should have? Whoever it was sealed his death, and as the BBC newscasters ruefully admitted on the night after he was found, they played him like he was nothing more than a trump card, when he was a human being...
...Labour came to power in 1997, the Conservatives are starting to pull even. In a MORI poll released last week, only 36% of British adults considered Blair trustworthy, and 59% said he had failed to live up to their expectations.

By accepting some of the blame, the White House hopes to hush the family sniping. Some aides even welcomed the congressional report on intelligence failures at the CIA and FBI before 9/11 as a way of diverting attention. "Now it's the CIA and FBI pointing fingers at each other," said a top aide...
...assembly for a government to be sworn in. Last week, two other main parties announced they will join a coalition on one condition: that the CPP dump Hun Sen and choose someone else to be Prime Minister If the deadlock persists, Hun Sen has only himself to blame. After the CPP lost the 1993 elections, it was he who pushed through the constitutional provision requiring a two-thirds National Assembly vote to confirm a government, virtually guaranteeing his own place in subsequent coalitions. Asserting what he calls a mandate from the people, Hun Sen declared last week that...
