...appears strained while testifying - mumbling and shaking his head - denies being the source for the story, and complains about the experience afterwards, but the committee doesn't seem to suspect him of anything - a basically unremarkable encounter. Two days later he leaves his house for an afternoon walk, coatless despite unpleasant weather. The following day the police find his body in a nearby field. He had taken some painkillers and slit his left wrist. And then, two days later, the BBC confirms that he was the source for the devastating story after all. The suicide last week of Dr. David...
...tough Rowley--the Rowley who packs a gun and takes it everywhere, who moves coatless through Minnesota winters and runs triathlons, who made a habit of correcting her science teacher--has been stung by a nasty backlash within the FBI.

Child- protection authorities had built up a fat dossier on her makeshift family. They knew that sometimes Katie stayed with her unmarried mother in a filthy, roach-infested house where rusted cars and an old refrigerator decorated the lawn. But sometimes she was in the charge...
After the initial Nanjing fracas, some 140 African and other foreign students were held under protective guard at a guesthouse for ten days. On Dec. 31, provincial authorities sent paramilitary police into the guesthouse to arrest "ringleaders" among the Africans. Armed policemen allegedly herded coatless students outside in zero-degree weather, then pummeled them and jabbed them with electric cattle prods...
