...might have been deflated. Likewise, if Bush stood up like Richard Clarke and took responsibility, it would be much harder to criticize his attitude on the 9/11 attacks. If his officials would straightforwardly defend their actions—explain why the caskets are worth it, for example, rather than hide them—then the election would be about honest disagreements, rather than deceptive practices. But this White House, for all its imperfections, is proving to be a perfectionist—unable to acknowledge errors, even when they might be defensible. How supremely ironic that, as John Kerry?...

Initially, rumors swirled that CP had contributed to the disease's spread in Thailand by trying to hide the outbreak. CP's participation in any cover-up "is just not true,'' says Dhanin. The company's chicken farms are a bulwark against the spread of diseases, he contends, because its birds are kept in giant warehouses, sequestered from birds believed to be carriers of the virus.
