...MUCH CREDIT CAN YOU TAKE FOR THE U.S. DECISION TO GO TO WAR IN IRAQ? The U.S. has been at loggerheads with Saddam [Hussein] since the first Gulf War, and there was a sense of unfinished business. There were many calls to remove Saddam's regime from power by American organizations. We were there, but we could not have much influence. We were an exile organization. NOW THAT SOME OF THE WEAPONS-OF-MASS-DESTRUCTION [WMD] SOURCES YOU INTRODUCED TO THE AMERICANS HAVE BEEN DISCREDITED, DO YOU REGRET NOT CHECKING OUT THEIR STORIES MORE? The Robb-Silberman report said...
...part of. Troops who have seen combat have a strong psychological incentive to support the policy that sent them to war. Nobody wants to believe that they risked death and, in some cases, killed for an unjustified cause. The Iraq war veterans who have spoken out against Bush deserve credit for doing something that is incredibly difficult. But even if every veteran supported the Iraq war, that would not be compelling evidence of its merit. We cannot rely only on the opinions of veterans alone when we judge the value of our military policies...
...signs that the insurgency in Iraq was spilling on to Jordanian territory became apparent right after the toppling of Saddam Hussein, when Zarqawi's men launched a massive bomb attack on the Jordanian embassy in Baghdad.

The shots missed their targets, killed two bystanders and served as a warning that more Zarqawi attacks may be on the way.

...outspoken young woman says female athletes are "more disciplined" than men and disses Elvis in the heart of Tennessee ("He was a copycat"), yet she stays tight-lipped about the victim of her dunk. To his credit, Ryan Childress, a 6-ft. 9-in. freshman, is willing to fess up (yes, Parker slammed on a man 5 in. taller). Childress insists the tale has been exaggerated--"I was in the area," he says, laughing--but four eyewitnesses confirm Parker's account. No need to be ashamed, Ryan. You won't be the last person Parker dominates...
...guarantees you will rub up against at least three more. You would think that as Harvard students we would have mastered those puzzles they give you in kindergarten where you try to fit circles and squares into similarly-shaped wooden holes. Apparently, neither students nor the Administration deserve such credit, or they might have realized that a mass of 200 plus college students just doesn’t fit into an 18 by 24 foot space...
