...transcripts and medical files it keeps on its interrogations--or for the audiotape and two videos the CIA says it still has of the questioning of unidentified prisoners requested in a federal court case. The procurement and public airing of such evidence would be one way to test the CIA's oft-repeated assertions that it never tortures and that all its secret interrogations have been conducted in full compliance with...
...didn't back off of possible discipline, saying he'd examine each player on a "case-by-case" basis. But if Selig goes after any active guys, the union is going to fight it - and hard. Baseball's drug agreement clearly states that a player is penalized after he tests positive for a performance-enhancing substance, is found in possession of it or distributes it. And for most players named in the report, which is already being slammed by many observers for naming names based on a combination of hearsay and canceled checks, Mitchell did not come close to uncovering...

At 11:45 a.m. on the first working day of every month, a test of the city's air raid sirens would start up and I'd wonder what it must have felt like to hear them whine on Dec. 7, 1941. As a Japanese American, though, my feelings about the attack were always somewhat conflicted...
