Just a few days later, on June 23, Libby met at the Old Executive Office Building with New York Times reporter Judith Miller, who wrote a series of highly controversial, and now largely discredited, stories about Iraq's prewar arsenal of weapons of mass destruction.

Last week, after a panel of international witnesses confirmed that the i.r.a. had finally disposed of its immense arsenal as unionists had long demanded, the unionists' leader, Ian Paisley, seemed unable to accept yes for an answer. He implied he would keep stalling efforts to revive a power-sharing government in Belfast, because he didn't trust the i.r.a. Many other unionists fear his perpetual intransigence is losing them ground...
