Committee chairman John Conyers says McClellan's book "suggests that senior White House officials may have obstructed justice and engaged in a cover-up" in the outing of Valerie Plame, the CIA employee whose identity was revealed as part of a White House effort to discredit her husband. What Conyers "suggests," however, may also be misleading. The book adds some new details about Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney's involvement in the Plame outing, but there's nothing there to build a case on. For his part, McClellan says he doesn't have much more to offer...
...crime, it's the cover-up. In politics and in marriage, the old lesson applies.

There’s Terry Leather (Statham), a small-time crook and owner of a body shop who has trouble keeping hired goons from smashing his car windows. Then we have Michael X, the hilariously stereotypical fist-raising Black Panther from Trinidad. He?...
...press conference took place on a date originally scheduled for Pakistan's general election, which has now been delayed for six weeks following Bhutto's assassination. Accusing Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf of a cover-up, Bhutto Zardari called for a United Nations-led investigation into his mother's death, claiming that the current team of British investigators does not have "the necessary transparency." In perhaps his most composed moment, he answered a question about how the United States should conduct its policy toward Pakistan, saying "Dictatorships feed extremism and once the United States stops supporting dictators we can tackle...
