...case for invasion. I only have space to give one example, but a full accounting of their deception has been skillfully detailed by John Judis and Spencer Ackerman in “The First Casualty,” which is available online from The New Republic. The most flagrant case of the two governments knowingly using falsified intelligence is forged documents that alleged Iraq had been trying to import uranium from Niger...
...however, the Bush doctrine must cope with a much harder test. In the months since October 2002, the regime in North Korea has taken a series of stunningly provocative steps that represent a flagrant challenge to the Bush Administration’s nonproliferation policy.

Natalie has been called a campaign against female undergraduates and even a form of terrorism. In flagrant violation of University rules and ethical norms, Natalie posters have a median life span of about four hours before being ripped down (an Ad Board-able offense). What is it about these posters that is so objectionable? Do they feature aborted fetuses? Or hurl expletives at women who have...
