...Francis Brooke, Chalabi's point man in Washington, spoke once a week to Bill Luti, who ran the Pentagon's Iraq policy from the Special Plans Office. Brooke also had access to John Hannah, who runs the Middle East desk in Vice President Dick Cheney's office. "From Day One, we were having discussions with the Bush Administration," says Brooke. "Our views were well known...
...subtle campaign of insinuation in trying to make the case for war by frequently mentioning Sept. 11 and Saddam in the same breath--while carefully acknowledging, when pressed, that there was no specific link between the two.

...Excessive Compensation? I was not surprised to read in "Big Board, Big Payday" that New York Stock Exchange chairman Dick Grasso will receive $140 million in deferred pay and retirement benefits [Sept. 8]. There is something wrong when ceos, board members and upper-level corporate managers get millions in pay and benefits while lower-level managers and rank-and-file employees are laid off or asked to give back pay and benefits "for the good of the company." Why are executives getting these outrageous benefits? Because those who decide on the compensation are ceos, board members and upper-level managers...
