Rumsfeld's allies say he has not surrendered to the military and its congressional allies. They insist he is transforming the military, albeit slowly, and stress that the military must not view Afghanistan as a template for all future conflicts. "One size," warns Army General Tommy Franks, who is running the war, "will...
Hungary continues to insist the effort is benign. Kinga Gal, a senior official helping to oversee the program, says Budapest's main concern is illegal immigration from poorer neighbors once Hungary joins the E.U., as is expected by 2004. Providing a leg-up to ethnic Hungarians in countries outside an expanded E.U., she says, might dissuade them from rushing the border in years ahead.

The other difference: seven years ago, Leeson's losses of $1.3 billion from dodgy derivatives deals were large enough to bankrupt his employer, Barings Bank; it was taken over by the Dutch group ING. Allied Irish, in contrast, can take Rusnak's $750 million hit - that's less...
