...Guantánamo officials marked the section about the Saudi for redaction, stamping it SECRET. The account, they advised the Pentagon, revealed interrogation methods and techniques that were classified. The Pentagon wrote back that if the Guantánamo officials could not cite solid legal grounds for censoring the material, the document would be cleared. The memo from the Pentagon noted that the authors' lawyer had previously sued the Defense Department successfully over a manuscript that contained classified information and might do so again. The section was cleared for publication with very few changes. But last month the nine pages at issue...
...happy to trade calm in exchange for calm, while always maintaining Washington?s backing for his security demands and ensuring that he is not pushed onto any political track that leads to a destination with which he?d not be comfortable. While making ritual deference to the ?roadmap? - a document with which Sharon has never fully supported - the Israeli leader emphasizes that its first phase requires Abbas to begin disarming and dismantling the operational structures of Hamas, Islamic Jihad and the Al-Aqsa Brigade.

...Sodano is also charged with covering for the Pope during temporary absences, such as the last week's hospitalization, and was slated to stand in for John Paul at this week's meeting in Rome with U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.

But if the speech had some of that feel, it was also pure Bush, as clear an expression of the man he's become and the presidency he guides as anything I've heard in four years. His father tried to shirk the caricature that all he cared about was foreign policy. The son, who came to office, probably figuring he'd fix schools, cut taxes...
Shocked? Actually, it makes Jefferson's kids typical American teens. But in one way the town is highly unusual: it was the site of a unique study in which researchers tried to document every romantic and sexual liaison among high school students over an 18-month period. The purpose of the research--part of the huge National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health--was to learn how sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) travel through teen populations. But what is most remarkable about the study, published recently in the American Journal of Sociology, is the accompanying chart-- the first to map the sexual...
