...Senators, who apparently find precise questions, unlike imprecise speeches, an unnecessary act of self-abnegation. Nebraska Republican Chuck Hagel was an exception. He asked, simply: Why was former General Jay Garner so quickly replaced by former diplomat L. Paul Bremer as the American proconsul in Iraq? Wolfowitz said Garner hadn't been replaced. He had been subsumed: the Pentagon had planned all along to put someone like Bremer in charge.

And while the word "liberator" may be preferred for domestic consumption, Washington is in fact asking the UN Security Council recognition of the U.S. and Britain as "occupying powers" in Iraq...
...still milling around the village's Communist Party headquarters under the watchful gaze of police. The uprisings had begun on the night of May 3, when word leaked out that six potentially SARS-infected patients from out of town would be quarantined in the party building. Furious that they hadn't been consulted about a decision to isolate possibly contagious patients in a makeshift ward just meters from the local school, dozens of villagers attacked the party headquarters, trashing three rooms and pelting the bureaucrats inside with stones.
