...Osama Bin Laden, it is easy to forget how a small group of young, middle-class Germans calling themselves the Red Army Faction (RAF) held postwar West Germany in its murderous thrall for more than two decades. In the late 1970s, at the zenith of the RAF's influence, the captains of Germany's Wirtschaftswunder traveled with armed bodyguards and avoided commercial airlines for fear of being blown out of the sky; police set aside civil liberties in a hunt for suspects that engendered something close to national hysteria. The RAF targeted and killed bankers, business titans, jurists, bureaucrats...
...Stale Doughnut Myth "Wall-to-wall Kennedy" [Jan. 22] acknowledged that giggles over John F. Kennedy's "supposed gaffe" "Ich bin ein Berliner!" may not be warranted. Only in western Germany is a jelly doughnut called a Berliner. Here in Berlin a jelly doughnut is a Pfannkuchen. So the ignorant West German journalists misunderstood, as did their American colleagues based in West Germany. The Berliners knew perfectly well Kennedy didn't say, "I am a Pfannkuchen!" but, as he also said, "All free men, wherever they may live, are citizens of Berlin." And they loved him for it.

Tyson, another NSC staffer; Richard Secord, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense; and Robert Lilac, a Pentagon official who moved to the NSC, where he became North's boss. The four worked closely with Saudi Prince Bandar bin Sultan to close the deal, which was bitterly opposed by Israel...
...that the country of Lincoln, Roosevelt, Truman, Eisenhower, Marshall and, let us not forget, G.I. Joe of World War II is now accused of torture, ignoring human rights and perverting the truth. Bush may have toppled Saddam Hussein, but he also pushed the U.S. off its pedestal. Meanwhile Osama bin Laden remains at large. Bush would have done well to heed Lincoln's famous words: "You can fool some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time, but you can never fool all of the people all of the time."
