...keep hammering India with suicide bombs and death squads. Four people were killed by terrorists Friday night in Kashmir, even as heavy shelling continued at the frontier and an unmanned Indian spy plane was shot down by the Pakistani air force. Any small spark can still push Vajpayee to deploy his soldiers in some punitive counterattack on Pakistan, which can lead to full-scale...
...Brits' intentions are clear. The two companies took pains to win the confidence of credit-rating agencies: Standard & Poor's, Moody's and Fitch all affirmed their A-rated debt. And in announcing the merger, National Grid CEO Roger Urwin said he plans to "deploy the combined resources and financial capacity of National Grid Transco [the merged company] to take advantage of opportunities in the liberalizing energy markets abroad, in particular extending National Grid's successful U.S. strategy."

Bush will have to tell Democratic and Republican senators "how you do it," says this foreign policy aide. He'll have to explain how he'll deploy regular forces and mobilize the reserves - particularly if he plans an invasion force of 250,000 - and he'll have to satisfy senators that he's made his case for an invasion before the American people. Second, Bush will have to spell out "what happens after you succeed," says this...
