...clearest example came in the months after 9/11, when Bush resisted Democratic calls to reorganize the government to better coordinate domestic-security efforts. The last thing a conservative Republican wanted to do was create the biggest new federal bureaucracy in 50 years. But pressure grew to the point that even Republicans were abandoning him. When Bush finally did reverse course--on the day FBI agent Coleen Rowley went public about the 9/11 clues that had fallen through the cracks--he went on the air in a national address and insisted that a new Homeland Security Department was needed...
...strategy at all? Rice, who has not yet testified under oath, decided to review counterterrorism policy; the review wasn't completed until Sept. 4. A related question along the same lines: Why didn't you deploy the armed Predator drones in Afghanistan? The technology, which might have provided the clearest shot at Osama bin Laden before 9/11, was available early in 2001. But the CIA and the Pentagon squabbled about which agency would be in charge of pulling the trigger. The dispute wasn't resolved until after 9/11. Were you aware of this dispute, Mr. President?

For decades these diseases have provided the clearest example of a body at war with itself. But the spark that fuels their internal destruction doesn't come from excess cholesterol deposits or a stubborn bacterial infection. Instead, in a bizarre twist of fate, the body's supersophisticated, learned immunological defenses mistakenly direct an inflammatory attack against healthy cells in such places as the joints, nerves and connective tissue...
Here's where the difference between Type 1 and Type 2 is clearest. Type 1 diabetics have high glucose levels because their pancreas can no longer make insulin. By definition, Type 1 diabetics must eventually take insulin shots to get their diabetes under control. Type 2 diabetics can still make their own insulin, but their bodies don't respond as well to it--a situation called insulin resistance...
