...that would take years.) In the meantime, the Pentagon's acknowledgment that U.S. troops may have been exposed came only under pressure: the June 21 Kamisiyah announcement, for example, was made four days before a soldier presented Congress with a videotape showing U.S. troops blowing up a chemical-weapons bunker.

Then last Wednesday the Pentagon said it was alerting 5,000 American troops who may have been...
...cover of TIME, scoring face time with America as the impish subject of a story that billed him as "The Man Who Has Clinton's Ear." The TIME cover set off other media profiles. The rule among campaign consultants is "Don't put your head above the bunker." But when the candidates move toward the stratosphere, everything that makes the consultants human makes them want to claim credit...
