...Given Jiang's international stature following SARS, Beijing risks drawing unwanted attention to its human-rights record at a time when the country is trying to present itself as a model global citizen and trade partner. During a visit to Beijing last week, U.S. National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice complained to China's Foreign Minister Li Zhaoxing about Jiang's detention, according to the Wall Street Journal. The only public explanation the government has so far offered was a statement to the Washington Post that Jiang "recently violated the relevant discipline of the military" and that "the military has been...
After Sept. 11, Aaron McGruder's The Boondocks, above, morphed from a socially minded strip about kids and race into a pen-and-ink tirade against the Administration. One scathingly personal series about Condoleezza Rice got the strip banned from numerous papers. Liberal war-horse Doonesbury has unsurprisingly taken on Iraq, but a fresher (and more Rrated) critique comes from Get Your War On (online and in Rolling Stone), written by David Rees using clip-art drawings of cubicle workers sniping...
...summoned back to Washington last November. He returned to Iraq with a significantly different game plan, one that would eliminate his job as proconsul years ahead of schedule. (The last American in a comparable position, Douglas MacArthur, ran Japan for six years.)

So a year ago, when the Bush Administration realized how much trouble it faced in postwar Iraq, National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice reached out to Blackwill. Administration officials say his mission was to clean up Iraq, preferably before U.S. elections this November. Largely hidden from view, Blackwill has been the White House's eyes and ears in Iraq ever since, taking a backseat in public to proconsul Paul Bremer while wielding influence behind the scenes...
...moment of weakness that led America's enemies in the Middle East to believe that terrorism could work. On Oct. 23, 1983, Hizballah terrorists blew up Marine barracks in Beirut, killing 241. A few months later, Reagan withdrew the remaining U.S. forces. Two decades after that, National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice put it this way: "Prior to Sept. 11, our policies as a nation, going really all the way back to the bombing of the Lebanon barracks, were not in a mode of the kind of war that we were fighting." Translation: We cut and ran. Terrorists drew their...
