...Washington's liaison with the Marquis de Lafayette and other French aristocrats who had rallied to the Continental Army. The French Revolution immediately struck him as a bloody affair, governed by rigid, Utopian thinking. On Oct. 6, 1789, he wrote a remarkable letter to Lafayette, explaining his "foreboding of ill" about the future course of events in Paris. He cited the "vehement character" of the French people and the "reveries" of their "philosophic politicians," who wished to transform human nature. Hamilton believed that Jefferson while in Paris "drank deeply of the French philosophy in religion, in science, in politics." Indeed...

When he took over the paper in 1969, Kirkpatrick wrote in an editorial, "No political party should take the Tribune for granted." Under his 10-year reign, the Tribune dropped its partisan Republican stance and became an objective, nationally respected publication...

It actively promotes ill health by, among other things, pumping out inflammatory proteins and interfering with the body's ability to use insulin. So it seemed plausible to many physicians that surgically removing belly fat by liposuction could give patients a double benefit: a slimmer physique and a better metabolic profile...
Could the timing of Chalabi's very public downfall be mere coincidence? It seems likely that the timing was determined by Bush's political handlers to make it appear that Chalabi and the Iraqi National Congress were to blame for drawing us into this ill-advised war. If that is their game, it will not work. Chalabi clearly had interests of his own to promote, but the Bush Administration was not without resources to verify the bogus information he provided. If it points to Chalabi as the source of our misfortune, the Administration will only reveal new depths of incompetence...
