...cost difference between a Viking per hour and Marine One per hour is $7 per hour." ARI FLEISCHER, White House spokesman, responding to complaints that Bush had wasted government money by arriving on the carrier Abraham Lincoln in a Navy jet, Top Gun--style, instead of in a helicopter, for a photo op with U.S. troops...

The sudden, gaping absence of a police state produced a spectacle of chaos magnified by the presence of a thousand cameras to capture it. As looters rolled down the street with their bathtubs, carts full of ceiling fans and chandeliers liberated from government buildings, they insisted that they were retrieving goods stolen from them over many years of kleptocracy. It was as though they needed to find their own way to take the regime apart, brick...
