...Numan's capture represents an intensification of the US campaign against the one-time Iraqi leadership. Gen. Tommy Franks today ordered all full members of the former ruling Baath Party to identify themselves to the U.S. military. "Go to the nearest U.S. military forces and identify yourselves, and then wait to be told what to do,'' the general's statement said. ?There must be no Baath Party activity, because the party no longer exists.? As many as 1.5 million of Iraq's 24 million people belonged to the party, but only 25,000 to 50,000 were hard core members...
...lives of more contemporary young adults came across my desk at the same time as "Summer Job." It makes for a cruel comparison.

Which is somehow appropriate, given that Cusack and Ryan, who is five years older, form what may be the cutest couple the human species has ever produced. Seriously, if they ever have a kid, it's gonna come out a Care Bear. The two are notorious for dating their...
Indeed, Phase Two will resemble neither democracy nor self-governance—at least for a while. The Bush administration plans to immediately install Retired U.S. Army Gen. Jay Garner as “interim transitional civil administrator” for an undisclosed and indefinite length of time, and in the interim he will continue to report to U.S. Central Command. Garner will play a variety of temporary roles—coordinating humanitarian efforts, making sure the oil wells begin pumping again and ferreting out hidden Republican Guard fighters. But it is unclear what role he will play...
