...blame some of this on General Electric legend Jack Welch, who in 2001 was given the use of a plush New York City apartment and epic amounts of other goodies upon retiring from the company - part of a hush-hush deal that came to light only after his ex-wife made it an issue in divorce proceedings. Welch later agreed to pay for his perks. But the Securities and Exchange Commission has taken a keen interest in undisclosed pay ever since, and two weeks ago proposed tough new disclosure rules. ?We?ll see all kinds of stuff? revealed this spring...
...allow the National Security Agency to eavesdrop on phone conversations in the U.S. without a court-ordered warrant [Jan. 9]. Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. Those who are up in arms about the secret spying on people with known links to al-Qaeda would be the first to blame the President for not preventing another attack. I am not an apologist for Bush, but he did get this one right. Terrorists need to know they can't use our eavesdropping laws against us. The President took an oath to protect the American people, and I am glad...
...myriad paramilitary groups that Fatah and Arafat set up. Confrontations seem inevitable. "The problem is not in carrying arms but in misusing them," says the Hamas military commander.

...Praise and Blame Joe Klein's column "It's Time to Pin a Few Medals," in which he pays "homage to those who have taken risky stands on principle" even when he has disagreed with them, left me feeling as if I were living in an alternate universe [Dec. 26-Jan. 2]. Klein's praise of President George W. Bush for his words about the importance of freedom and democracy holds little weight against Bush's inept response to the Hurricane Katrina disaster or his mostly failed approach to curtailing global terrorism. Perhaps it would be more appropriate for Klein...
