...torture policy, The Dark Side, which I read simultaneously with American Wife. It is no small astonishment that Sittenfeld's portrait of the President and his circle made Mayer's horror story more plausible for me: suddenly you understand how George W. Bush could abdicate his authority and allow Dick Cheney and his alarming chief of staff, David Addington, to abandon the Geneva Conventions and engage in the most gruesome forms of torture. You can easily see Charlie Blackwell - whose (inaccurate) notion of the efficacy of torture would have been shaped by Hollywood - passing off the tough and the ugly...
...more useful than the predominantly theoretical knowledge Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice relies on. It is unfortunate that President George W. Bush's actions in Iraq played into the Russians' hands. How can we criticize their aggression and belligerence when the U.S. under Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney acted similarly with respect to Iraq?

(like many of his peers, he refused to give his full name), talked about the police raid. He said that after the intense search on Friday he and others conversed with police candidly, trying to be as friendly as possible...
...specter of the potentially devastating storm caused President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney to decide to skip the Republican National Convention, which was supposed to begin Monday in St. Paul, Minn. The White House announced that Bush was heading to Texas Monday to monitor emergency response efforts, and Republican officials have already postponed most of Monday's convention activities. Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff headed to the region Sunday and planned to stay for the duration of the storm...
...thievery is fueled in part by the conservation effort itself. "International rules aimed at preventing the movement of plants and seeds in order to protect them have had unintended consequences," says Dick Wiedhopf, president of the Cactus and Succulent Society of America and its Tucson chapter. "They have made [cactuses] more valuable." That explains why wildlife - including cactus - ranks just below drugs and guns as the most popular good smuggled out of Mexico, according to experts...
