...interview with Congressional Quarterly. Last week Brennan withdrew his name from consideration for the top job at the CIA, after an outcry of protest from Obama's liberal supporters. Though he worked at the CIA early in the Bush Administration, Brennan has long maintained that he objected to the harshest interrogation policies pushed by the White House...
...album. The songs leading up to it are violent. The beginning of “Something, Anything” blares like the Arctic Monkeys. Healy basically screams all of “Long Way Down,” his voice audibly straining to articulate the rage of his harshest lyrics: “Mama / An eye for an eye / You said you’d never take a side / Papa / I’m too young to die / They’re never taking me / They’re never taking me alive.” “Broken...
...others accepted Yancey's Christology, but they all acknowledged prayer's expansion into compassion. Nevins points out that the recurring refrain on the Day of Atonement, when Jews itemize their sins, is that "repentance, prayer and charity can annul" God's harshest judgment.

Even the pastor's harshest critics admit that he has a gift for picking good lieutenants and a near superhuman adaptability. A neat example of this is a document Warren has sent out called "PEACE 2.0," listing eight changes to his original plan. And while he once disdained working with existing Christian NGOs, he is now looking for ways to partner with some that can supplement his short-term army's wide-eyed enthusiasm with experience and cohesion. One NGO has already proposed running...
