...interest story that tells the tale of Umm Qasr’s municipal elections. Frequently do we hear the mantra of violence in the press recited: antiwar activist Michael Moore, whose ilk dwells on this kind of negative outlook, retells it in Bowling for Columbine; Nancy Reagan and Lynne Cheney lament it in Congressional hearings; thousands of Americans daily note in passing one or another murder featured as the top story in the local newspaper. The more grandiose arena of Iraq merely offers a larger stage for the violence that captivates Americans, as well as the syndicates who report their...
...record stressing that there was no evidence linking Iraq to the attacks - despite the fact that 70 percent of Americans believe Saddam was involved. That erroneous belief may, of course, be one reason for the administration's sudden concern to set the record straight. Because, as Vice President Dick Cheney put it on Sunday, "it's not surprising that people make that connection."

Cheney's pragmatism on Saudi Arabia is informed by his experience as an official in the Nixon Administration in 1973, when the Saudis protested U.S. support for Israel by embargoing oil sales to the U.S. for five months, causing the worst gasoline shortages in U.S. history. From Cheney, Secretary of State Colin Powell, National...
...COVER STORY, Aug. 25] and the economy has lost billions of dollars through idled offices and factories, spoiled food and interrupted travel, maybe President Bush and the Republican congressional leadership would like to tell us how the glorious "free market" is going to prevent further catastrophic blackouts. Maybe Dick Cheney's ultrasecret energy task force has that information in its notes, which the Vice President adamantly refuses to share with his employers, the American people.
