...stagecraft, we still don't know what happened in the anti-Wilson plot inside the White House. Wilson had accused the Administration of deceiving Americans by hyping Saddam Hussein's supposed search for nuclear fuel in Africa. McClellan's book sheds a little more light: Cheney called Bush the morning of Oct. 4, 2003, and Bush then ordered McClellan to tell the media that Cheney's chief of staff, I.

...facts are forthcoming ... on with the show! McClellan's testimony will primarily serve as a free publicity session for him, though it's possible the sheer spectacle of a onetime Bush loyalist denouncing his former colleagues will generate some anti-Bush heat for Democrats. As for it undermining Rove's claim of executive privilege in any meaningful way, that's a long shot.

Many voters said they simply did not understand what they were voting on. At the same time, the "no" campaigners played on public ignorance to raise fears about alleged threats to sovereignty and the Irish way of life in everything...
...generals' biggest qualms about an end to the rule of Mugabe's Zanu-PF is said to be the fears of facing prosecution for the Matabeleland massacres of the 1980s [when Mugabe's government waged an anti-insurgency campaign that led to widespread starvation, thousands of deaths and other atrocities in the homeland of the Ndebele minority]. Would you ever consider an amnesty? The point is that it's the fear of the unknown. It's the insecurity around these people. But we have never used that as a campaign strategy, to say, "Let's engage in retribution...
