...Pentagon offered to supply Israel with "bunker-buster" bombs, capable of punching deep into the enemy's underground defenses. Israel's air force chief at the time, Lt. Gen. Dan Halutz, - who, as Chief of Staff, is currently commanding Israel's air, sea and land strikes in Lebanon - rejected Washington's offer, claiming that Israel had its own superb weapons. But with the "bunker-busters", says a senior Tel Aviv intelligence source, Israel could have knocked out most of Hizballah's rocket-launchers and possibly brought the war to an early close...
...Dan Gerstein, a strategic communications consultant who is a senior adviser to Lieberman, tells TIME that the independent campaign ? formally called "Connecticut for Lieberman" ? is "full steam ahead" and that the Senator's remarks on election night were "a point-of-no-return speech." Lieberman was doing a series of interviews, mostly with Connecticut reporters, and plans some campaign stops on Thursday with Democrats who supported him and will continue to do so.

Fast paced and shot with handheld cameras, Path plays like a somber, dysfunctional 24, with all the grit but little of the success. A few days before 9/11, CIA Director George Tenet (Dan Lauria) and CIA officer Kirk (Donnie Wahlberg) are in a conference room with bulletin boards groaning with intel notes--and have no way to make sense of it all. "Everything's blinking red," Tenet says. "We're overloaded." Frustrated, harried, weary, he seems less like a movie spymaster than like...
...paraphrase Yoda: Always there are two--a trainer and a fighter. In Pound for Pound, the former is Dan Cooley, a once great, now pathetic and drunk trainer to whom life has delivered one sucker punch too many (no, that will not be the last boxing clich in this review). The fighter is Chicky Garza, a good-hearted, hard-hitting Tex-Mex punk, 62-9 with 33 KOs and a whole lot of old-fashioned bad luck. Dan and Chicky need each other. Connect the dots...
