The posh Bosco Café in Red Square, Moscow, famous for its cocktails and elaborate wine list, now typically restricts its aperitif offerings to unimaginative gin or scotch, while patrons wash down fish dishes with overpriced Chianti from Bosco's depleted stocks, as no white wine is to be had. Retailers smell a conspiracy. "These are the first steps to reinstate a state monopoly on the alcohol trade," says Vera Nefedova, general manager of Vincroft, a private company that runs a four-supermarket...

The logic that gave rise to the Administration's broad powers of detention, interrogation and surveillance is the logic of the worst-case scenario, of terrorist masterminds and ticking time bombs. It's consistent with that logic that a place like Guantánamo be reserved for only the most dangerous terrorists...
