...expelled in the 1974 by the Communist authorities because of his democratic beliefs. He has been active in Serbia's political arena for the past decade and remains the only major opposition politician who never even met Milosevic personally, let alone cooperated with his regime. Even his opponents admit that he is stubbornly persistent in his views, a fact that has contributed to his reputation of incorruptibility and honesty. He is also a moderate nationalist and a relentless critic of the West, which makes him all the more appealing to potential Milosevic supporters. In addition, it is impossible...
Bruised, battered and frustrated, the losing team inevitably searches for someone to blame in the face of an unexpected defeat. To place the onus on one's own shortcomings is to lose face; to credit the other team for a better performance is to admit inferiority. The most foolproof tact is to, instead, blame the referee--for a bad call on a particularly key play, for consistently favoring the other team or for simply being, as school kids are apt to whine in gym class, "not fair...

With Wen Ho Lee back home, can't we hear again from Keyes about how racial profiling is essential to law enforcement...
...years at Justice - she's the longest-serving Attorney General ever - have made her the loneliest woman in Washington. The White House long ago concluded that she is aloof and politically tone-deaf, but those qualities helped her stand out in an administration that often lacked ethical bearings. Aides admit she has a social worker's soft side that often gets the better of her, as it did in her handling of the Elian Gonzalez case. And congressional Republicans regard her by-the-book reading of laws as a knee-jerk reluctance to prosecute - especially when questions are raised about...
