...wasn't long after Bush spoke that the Administration began to dial it back. A tantalizing question through the first tense days was how much the 43rd President was huddling with the 41st. Bush gave no hint, even to some of his closest aides, that he was talking to his father, but everyone in the West Wing assumed he was. Dad's diplomatic alter ego, Brent Scowcroft, was in regular communication with Rice, his former protege. Scowcroft worked quietly behind the scenes to tone down the initial response. Bush Sr., who spent part of last week in Europe but could...
...word, as soon as a critical mass of politicians - or yellow-ribbon-wielding citizens - provide them cover to do so. At a face-to-face with President Bush Monday morning, one reporter asked point-blank at what point the troops become "hostages." Bush used the opportunity to hint diplomatically that China could be threatening its relationship with the U.S., but he didn't directly answer the question.

...this movie, which is surprisingly short on psychology and long on just about everything else. Conveniently knocked out of "retirement" after his partner is killed in an excruciatingly melodramatic sting-operation-gone-wrong, Cross goes through all the moves in tracking down Soneji. But we are never given any hint that Cross is actually probing the depths of Soneji's brain and trying to figure out how he works. Or, maybe it is because Soneji is so obvious Cross doesn't even need...
