...anti-American sentiment in Pakistan is at a record high. As a result of the lack of due process, transparency, and judicial oversight, policy assessments and analysis have become increasingly suspect. Are these often pre-emptive arrests preventing terrorism? Are they really needed? Policy debates are difficult without access to information and media inquiries. Furthermore, the Bush Administration does not take into account the fact that detainees are real humans who have real families.

War becomes diffused through a soldier’s attraction to a woman, a father remembering his son’s face. This familiarity is what makes “Our Story Begins” such a delight. Wolff pares his stories...
...executives and oil-rich governments met Thursday in Paris at the International Oil Summit, to share their thoughts on the global energy crunch. Total chief executive Christophe de Margerie and Royal Dutch Shell's exploration chief Malcolm Brinded told officials from oil-rich countries that they needed more access to easily accessible oil deposits, rather than the hugely expensive deep-sea drilling or ultra-deep underground reserves on which they are increasingly relying to expand production.
