...Sundquist administration reserved the coup de grâce for a larger audience. Standing opposite an audience of students, faculty, and alumni on that soggy October day, Petersen delivered a shameful harangue, condescending to University President Drew G. Faust upon her installation and demanding that the “denial of student citizenship” end immediately...
What war planners call "denial and deception" is a key part of any military campaign, and congressional Democrats believe it is also figuring into the campaign to secure funding for the Iraq war. As the Bush administration and Democrats on Capitol Hill square off over war funding, the White House and its Pentagon allies are warning that the military will soon have to start shutting down stateside bases if more money isn't provided for the war.

The genocide did not put our troops in harm's way; our President did. And whoever thinks Turkey can give up billions of dollars in trade and investment with the U.S. is foolish. More honest and objective people like Power are needed to help us bring this century-old matter to some sort of closure. Eva Garibian, Arcadia, Calif...
