...facing. In the weeks to come, the White House will also have to deal with the 9/11 commission's final report, the congressional investigations into the CIA's bungled assessment of Iraq's weapons of mass destruction and a special prosecutor's hunt for the White House leakers who blew the cover of CIA secret operative Valerie Plame. Not only is the Administration defending itself against the Democrats, the investigators and the media. Two other serious, surreptitious-and quite possibly unprecedented-battles are going on: the intelligence community is at war with the White House, and the uniformed military...
...places like Libya and Grenada. These days, when we do that in Iraq, we call it the Bush doctrine.

Earlier this spring, Jiang penned a letter to China's leaders, urging them to reconsider their unrepentant stance on the massacre and describing his own haunting memories of the mangled bodies brought to his hospital that night. The disappearance last Wednesday of Jiang and his wife, Hua Zhongwei, appears to be the strongest reaction yet to his criticisms of the government, and underscores Beijing's continued determination to discourage...
...warring parties but as businesses that need each other to survive. Overland set up a structure, called Joint Leadership Teams, to make sure the old "silos" (management in one silo, unions in another, never talking) came tumbling down. The meetings haven't exactly been love-ins. One blew up over employee travel passes, but the company called the unions the next day to work on a solution.
