...private-sector job or the work of many independent, unrelated hands. The law-enforcement source says China has not been cooperating with U.S. investigations of Titan Rain. China's State Council Information Office, speaking for the government, told TIME the charges about cyberspying and Titan Rain are "totally groundless, irresponsible and unworthy of refute...
First, though, we have to dispense with this latest round of criticism. Unlike in the innate differences debate, in which one could knock Summers for being provocative to the point of being unproductive, the charges leveled against Summers this time around are mostly groundless. Indeed, before Harvard’s overeager Summers-haters start a media-attracting row over the president’s comments, I’d like to set the record straight: the clear, overarching theme of President Summers’ remarks was one of genuine concern for Native American communities in the United States, especially when...
...reasons. Another concern is that regional and local officials might use reprivatization to settle old scores. Even Yushchenko and Tymoshenko potentially have big axes to grind.

Senator Richard Lugar, who represented the U.S. at the vote, was scathing in his assessment: "A concerted and forceful program of Election Day fraud and abuse was enacted with either the leadership or cooperation of governmental...
...collapse is imminent. Pyongyang's closest ally, China, appears unworried. Vice Foreign Minister Wu Da-wei last week flatly denied that his country was massing troops at the border. Ministry spokeswoman Zhang Qiyue denied any knowledge that Kim Jong Il had been toppled and admonished the world to ignore "groundless reports and news" about North Korea. Kim was on the job as recently as Nov. 22, when he visited a unit of the Korean People's Army and listened to soldiers recite poetry, presenting the young bards with gifts of automatic rifles, according to the Korean Central News Agency...
