...base by demanding that he drum up "sexy," high-profile cases "with blood on them" to attract public support for convictions.

Davis has also accused the Pentagon's second-ranking civilian of telling him to quickly charge "high value" prisoners - like Mohammed - "because there could be strategic value before the [November] election." Both Hartmann and the Pentagon civilian, Deputy Defense Secretary Gordon England, have disputed those allegations, though not under oath...

...addressed a joint meeting of Congress and received 18 standing ovations, according to Hunt. Johnson-Sirleaf was among Forbes Magazine’s 100 most powerful women in the world in both 2006 and 2007. Also last year, President Bush awarded her the Medal of Freedom award, the highest civilian honor in the United States.
