Surprisingly enough, the biggest crowd pleaser is turning out to be the President himself, despite low ratings in the polls. White House officials say Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney have already done more to help '06 candidates than they had at the same point in the '02 and '04 election cycles. So far this year, Bush has raised $31 million at 13 events, including last week's $125- a-plate pizza-and-burgers reception at the Baltimore Ravens' stadium for the Senate campaign of Maryland Lieutenant Governor Michael Steele. Mark Knoller of CBS News, who meticulously logs presidential movements...
...suspects around using European airports. Some European countries are investigating exactly what the U.S. has been up to on their territory. E.U. officials are threatening dire punishments for any country that has abetted Washington. The issue is raw. There is cause for anger: after Sept. 11, 2001, Vice President Dick Cheney said that defeating terrorists meant that "we also have to work ... sort of the dark side ...

...giving a false confession is precisely what the three sailors say they did do. In their Nov. 10 petition to outgoing Virginia Governor Mark Warner, Danial Williams, Derek Tice and Joseph Dick Jr. claim that after Norfolk homicide detectives subjected them to hours of harsh and manipulative questioning, they fabricated elaborate details of a rape and murder that they had absolutely nothing to do with.

The detectives' conclusion was that Williams hadn't acted alone. So they brought in Joseph Dick Jr., who had been living with Williams and his wife at the time. The night of Moore-Bosko's murder, Dick told the detectives at first, he was on duty, a fact they never checked. (Navy senior chief Michael Ziegler, who was Dick's direct supervisor, confirmed to TIME that...
Still, even Ballard's testimony won't necessarily be able to turn back the clock. While Tice firmly protested his innocence through two separate trials, both Williams and Dick ended up pleading guilty. The reason may be understandable in retrospect--both their lawyers told them to stick to the story to avoid the death penalty--but the fact that they affirmed their confessions doesn't help their case. No wonder prosecutor D.J. Hansen, who put the men behind bars, says there is nothing new in the petition that wasn't tested in the normal judicial process. "Justice was done...
