...have been ended with a massacre. Song Xiaowen Pingzhen City, Taiwan Respect for Berlusconi "Berlusconi's U.S. Blues" [June 14] reported that Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's popularity was sagging over the economy, Iraq and his alliance with George W. Bush. Is it impossible for journalists to write a complimentary article about Berlusconi? I enjoy reading critical coverage of the Prime Minister, but not all the time. Europeans need to rediscover their cultural identity, which was once much more compelling than America's.

Richard moves in and out of the picture like a shadow, looming large especially in childhood as John fought...

I am an American living in Canada, and I never thought I would see the day when U.S. government agencies would write memos attempting to justify actions that Americans would condemn if perpetrated by others. There was outrage during the Korean War when the North Koreans were accused of brainwashing American prisoners. Similar activities were decried in other wars. Now, the U.S. is carrying out equally repulsive actions. RICHARD ANDERSEN Victoria...
...chances of possessing a smallpox weapon, and in judging whether Saddam was trying to get a nuclear bomb, the CIA relied in part on poorly informed contractors who had limited access to intelligence. The report also quotes the highest-ranking CIA analyst as saying she instructed staff to write "a speculative piece" that would "lean far forward" and "stretch to the maximum the evidence" in response to senior policymakers' interest in links between al-Qaeda and Saddam. That sounds eerily close to accusations made about the British government's September 2002 dossier, which included the claim that Saddam could fire...
