...question openly debated last week was whether Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld bet right when he decided on the scope of the invading force. Deployment is now at 250,000, but only the Army's 3rd Infantry Division is a heavy fighting force, and just 150,000 of the total are ground-combat troops. Chairman Myers insisted last week that the U.S. had deployed "just the right forces." Certainly those forces had a lot to do, from taking Baghdad to searching for Saddam's bio-chem weapons to delivering water and food to civilians. An additional 2,000 soldiers reach...
...perception that U.S. and British forces have suffered battlefield setbacks to the constant reports of combat from journalists embedded with the troops; those snapshots of the war, military commanders say, have failed to convey the larger picture of the allies' progress. "We're one week into this," Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said last Friday, "and it seems to me a little early for history to be written...
...seems weirdly priggish to discuss the brutalities of war and the technicalities of law in the same breath.

Rumsfeld had both described the inspections as a sham. At the same time, there was a continuous military build-up in the Middle East. These examples perfectly embody the hypocrisy and doubletalk of this administration. And while war may turn out to be the best way to solve this issue...
Since taking control of HUP in 1990, Sisler has quietly centralized power in his office. When HUP’s last editor-in-chief, Aida Donald, stepped down in June 2000, Sisler conducted a search to replace her, but, he says succinctly, no one “fit the bill.” No one besides Bill Sisler, that is—he took on the responsibilities of editor-in-chief himself instead. “The bottom line,” he says, “is the buck stops here...
