...does this generation ask for a sign?" an angry Jesus asked, wondering about the hunger for miracles in his own time, though he might as well ask it of ours. Touch me, heal me, the crowds demanded of their Messiah, and so even as he went about touching and healing, he acknowledged that miracles, if produced on demand, could sabotage the faith they were meant to strengthen. For the truly faithful, no miracle is necessary; for those who must doubt, no miracle is sufficient...
...supposedly from a National Security Agency employee, claiming that the CIA and the Pentagon knew early on about Alpirez's connection to the killings of American Michael Devine in 1990 and Guatemalan guerrilla Efrain Bamaca Velasquez in 1992. (Bamaca was married to an American lawyer, Jennifer Harbury, who conducted hunger strikes in Guatemala and Washington to pressure authorities for information about her husband's murder.)

She staged a 32-day hunger strike outside the Guatemalan presidential palace, which she ended when National Security Adviser Anthony Lake agreed to look into the matter. On January 25, the CIA provided the State Department with what White House spokesman Mike McCurry now calls "new information"--information about Alpirez that was at the very least potent enough to prompt the CIA to begin an internal investigation. (The CIA station chief in Guatemala was recalled to Washington around the time the inquiry began.) Concurrently, Harbury was told that...
