...Nine months later, the investigation into the attack in Yemen has ground to a halt. The bureau and the Yemenis have tried and failed to bridge the cultural chasm between them, haggling over investigative methods and security. The FBI and the U.S. State Department began a bitter feud over dealing with the Yemenis, leading to an open rupture between the agency's chief investigator and the U.S. ambassador there.

So far, Kennedy's bill appears to have more support, though Republicans, led by minority...
...going to be messy. And given the depth of the rifts within the party, particularly over the E.U. and British entry into the common currency, a bitter leadership battle seems unavoidable. But choosing a leader is the least of the Tories' concerns. The party faces not only another term in opposition but also signs of chronic decline. Party leaders have given up trying to spin the election results. Portillo has called the overwhelming Blair victory "catastrophic"; one Conservative M.P. last week admitted that the Tories are hurtling toward third-party wilderness...
