...Iowa returned the favor. Since making those comments--unearthed last week by NBC News (part of a mountain of Dean's earlier television appearances that the Bush-Cheney campaign has also been poring over)--Dean has been one of Iowa's most frequent visitors. He has made 103 trips there since February 2002. Everything he said about the caucuses was true--and still is--but as it turns out, some of those very characteristics proved the making of Howard Dean. In his unlikely transition from underfunded obscurity to the front of the Democratic pack, Iowa was where he found both...
...next four to eight years. From the beginning of his campaign, Dean has often been portrayed in the media as angry and dark, even surly, but Democratic voters see a different Dean: more than three-quarters of Democrats find him likable. But that does not stop Bush-Cheney campaign strategists from saying his personality presents the most favorable contrast imaginable with the President. A Midwestern G.O.P. organizer says of Dean, "He is like a gift from heaven...
...bright, either. A Paris magistrate is probing allegations that a consortium headed by Kellogg Brown & Root and French oil engineer Technip paid out $180 million in illegal commissions to build a natural-gas plant in Nigeria during the late 1990s, when Halliburton was headed by U.S. Vice-President Dick Cheney.

With President Bush up for re-election in November, Cheney must be hoping this year ends better than the last...

Rumsfeld is a Cook County, Ill., politician, while Wolfowitz would be more at home at the University of Chicago, where he earned his doctorate. That makes them the most interesting one-two combination this side of Bush-Cheney. If Rumsfeld is the face, mouth and strong right arm of the war in Iraq, Wolfowitz--the intellectual godfather of the war--is its heart and soul. Whereas Rumsfeld talks about Iraq like a technician, Wolfowitz sounds more like a prophet. Says a close associate of the deputy's: "Paul...
...advisers are presidential staff and generally don?t have to appear before Congress, the commission argues that its jurisdiction is broader-and it's been requiring fact witnesses in its massive investigation to testify under oath. The exception: it may not seek to swear in President Bush, Vice President Cheney, Bill Clinton or Al Gore in the increasingly likely event they will be asked to speak to the commission. "I think that it is in their interest to meet with us," says GOP commission member John Lehman, saying that they should be invited, not subpoenaed, and be allowed to appear...
