...after a low-level lawyer sat down at the witness stand and read excerpts of Goard's deposition, any such card was still way up Richman's sleeve. Goard testified that Democrat applications did not have the missing space for the voter-ID number, and that no Democratic staffers had asked for the same assistance with the forms that she gave Republicans...
Whatever the ultimate scientific consensus on this issue, the talks were hindered by the low-level officals that the U.S. sent. There was some talk of President Clinton stopping by on his way home from Vietnam, but this never happened. As a result, the highest-ranking U.S. official in The Hague was Undersecretary of State Frank Lloyd, the head of the American delegation. Some countries, like France, even sent their president, and most other countries had prime ministers, deputy prime ministers or at least full cabinet members as representatives--some for the entire length of the talks.

Moustarabine is Arabic for "those who pretend to be Arabs." The units are a prime weapon in controlling riots, because they infiltrate crowds and pounce on the ringleaders. They're also used for dangerous snatch operations, such as the one in which moustarabine units arrested one of the men who lynched two Israeli soldiers in Ramallah three weeks...
