...intelligence has combed its computer databases to prepare lists of leading Iraqis, divided into three categories. First, the culpable elite: hard-core Saddam loyalists--top-military, security, intelligence and political officials, plus family members--who would be captured, tried and punished by some kind of war-crimes tribunal. Second, the repentant: senior officials whose allegiance to Saddam is less certain and who could be rehabilitated through local trials or truth-commission proceedings if they disavowed the dictator during the war.

...does approach both the mainstream economic model and contemporary issues, it does so narrowly.

Like Kaufman and director Spike Jonze’s previous film Being John Malkovich, several plots overlap and intertwine with surprising at dramatic twists, creating a frustrating, complex film...
...Crimson began the year with high expectations. Ranked third in the EIWA and 25th in the nation, the team felt its strong senior core and possible future Olympian—junior co-captain No. 3 Jesse Jantzen (149 lbs.)—would lead it to its second-ever conference championship...
