...Sahhaf "the only entertainment we get in this god-awful war." We never warmed to Joseph Goebbels quite this way--but then the Nazi didn't have that funny hat. A website WeLoveTheIraqiInformationMinister.com--deluged with up to 4,000 visitors a second--explains al-Sahhaf's terrier-like appeal: "His message is consistent--unshakable, in fact, no matter the evidence." Dee Dee Myers, former press secretary to Bill Clinton, deadpans that a spokesperson should "make sure your words would make sense down the road--say, in a day. This was certainly not his forte." Sadly, the minister disappeared just before...
...build 20,000 access points across America. These access points have to be as secure as Fort Knox and support Virtual Private Networks, or VPNs (think of a VPN as a solid, encrypted tunnel of data in the middle of any signal).

Rhodes' presence there is all the more remarkable since his first novel, Timoleon Vieta Come Home (Canongate; 214 pages), is only now arriving in bookstores and is likely...
...even a general deadline for coalition forces to vacate Iraq . The joint declaration only reminds the "occupying powers" of "their obligation to withdraw from Iraq", and omits "as soon as possible", something which the other neighbors otherwise repeatedly emphasize (as did Prince Saud after the meeting concluded). The joint appeal then, is unexceptionable, since Washington has already said it will eventually pull its troops out of Iraq...
