Sure, the attention was negative when Snow dismissed Congressman Mark Foley's creepy messages to former pages as "naughty e-mails." There was the time Snow likened stem-cell research to murder. He invoked the unfortunate cliché "tar baby" early on, but just as interesting as his missteps are his striking successes. He said Bob Woodward's book, critical of the Bush Administration's handling of Iraq after the invasion, was "like cotton candy--it kind of melts on contact." After John Kerry was caught in a gaffe that appeared to demean the armed forces, Snow thundered, "This...
There are eight cells in Rudolph's "range," and another eight on the level above him. For security reasons, he is not allowed to name his fellow prisoners, but he says there is one American who never comes out of his cell; according to sources outside the ADX, the silent American is Kaczynski. Rudolph says the rest of his neighbors are such nationalities as Egyptian, Sudanese and Palestinian. He writes that his area of the prison is "where they house the political offenders, what they call 'terrorists.'" There are many such men at ADX. The list of Arab inmates reads...
...spartan cells are designed to keep inmates from hurting themselves--and their guards. Each 7- or 8-ft. by 12-ft. space contains a molded concrete bunk, stool and desk; a steel shower, sink and toilet, and a small black-and-white TV encased in Plexiglas to prevent tampering. At one end of the cell is a solid steel door, and a small vestibule--for the use of guards when they enter--separated from the living quarters by steel bars. There is one 4-in. by 4-ft. window. Rudolph's is over his bed, looking out on the prison...
Rudolph's letters over the past year have reflected increasing frustration with prison conditions caused by staff shortages. He has complained about cold food, delayed mail and calls missed because there was no one available to bring a phone to his cell. When he first arrived at ADX in 2005, the inmates in his range were let out of their cells four or five times a week for indoor exercise and once a week for a break in the yard. More recently they have been lucky to get outside once a month. Rudolph has joined other inmates in filing...
From Eric Rudolph's point of view, the ADX is locked down very tight. The procedure to leave one's cell for a rare opportunity to exercise outside, for instance, is an ordeal. Two guards enter the vestibule and order the inmate to strip. After a cavity search, he dresses again and his hands are cuffed through an opening in the bars that separate the vestibule from the rest of the cell. The guards then march him down the corridor, a steel-tipped baton at the ready. When all the prisoners are lined up, they are led to an outdoor...
