...Sofas-UK showroom around the corner. At 6:30 p.m. Derrick Robinson, the manager of Sofas-UK, looked out the window of another pub and saw 200 people gathered outside his locked store. He quickly opened up. Robinson didn't know it yet, but he'd achieved the dubious distinction of being the target of London's first Inexplicable Mob. Once in the shop the mob had been instructed to "look at a sofa, view them with the reverence and awe that one should have for soft furniture" and say, "Oh wow, what a sofa" without uttering the letter...
...last month's congressional report on 9/11 suggests, Aulaqi aided hijackers Nawaf Al Hazmi and Khalid Al Midhar when they attended his mosque in San Diego. The report alleges the imam was observed holding "closed-door meetings" with the hijackers. FBI officials discount that allegation, from a single, dubious source. But both FBI and congressional investigators want to know why Al Hazmi and a third hijacker, Hani Hanjour, showed up at a Falls Church, Va., mosque shortly after the imam transferred there in 2001. "In my view, he is more than a coincidental figure," says House Intelligence Committee member...
...whatever fit the duo’s rhetoric of imminent danger, and for both hawks, that happened to be the most dubious of their intelligence, the cheap rumors and vague speculations that neither they nor their intelligence agencies probably believed. The star-crossed leaders are both guilty of transforming a war of choice into a war of necessity, as New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman puts it, and they were both caught. Bush’s handlers have been falling all over themselves trying to insulate Bush from the now-infamous Africa-uranium claim, while Blair’s lieutenants...
...Iraq's weapons programs. The CIA said it could neither verify the Niger story nor "confirm whether Iraq succeeded in acquiring uranium ore and/or yellowcake" from two other African nations. The agency also included the State Department's concerns that the allegations of Iraq's seeking yellowcake were "highly dubious"--though that assessment was printed only as a footnote...
...their expense reports, angling for better-subsidized lunches and ferrying their bosses to golf tournaments than catching crooks. Yet the Bayside movies aren't farces; they walk a tightrope between deadpan humor and serious drama. Aoshima and his gang are at root a virtuous bunch, constantly questioning the dubious policies of their superiors while putting themselves at personal and professional risk to seek justice. They weigh choices and debate the differences between the good of the individual and of the group, loyalty to one's boss vs. the pursuit of justice, and doing what's right for one's career...
