...reversing its 10-year-old policy on Lockerbie and Libya. State Department spokesman James Rubin went on the record late Tuesday over the plan to allow a trial for the two Libyan suspects in the Netherlands -- and confirmed, as TIME Daily reported, that this was an attempt to "call Ghadafi's bluff." But it appears that State was caught off-guard by the timing of the original report in the English newspaper the Guardian, confirming it while officials in London were still sticking to the original script: Trial in Scotland or the U.S. only.

Condescended to by someone from Wichita! That's what comes from turning against your own cattle. As we used to say in Kansas City--this was before they asked us to cut down on agricultural images--sooner or later the chickens all come home to roost...
