...Force. Then just days before Condit's resignation, Boeing fired its chief financial officer, Michael Sears, for "unethical conduct" in his conversations with an Air Force official handling a $20 billion contract for 100 Boeing refueling tankers. The deal is on hold while the Pentagon's inspector general investigates...
...could help save human lives - but at an obvious cost in animal suffering. Filmed secretly in 2001 and screened at a hearing in Cambridge late last year, Cutting Edge was the most graphic evidence presented at what might otherwise have seemed a mundane bureaucratic event: an appeal to government inspectors of a planning application that had twice been denied by the local council. At issue was Cambridge University's proposed $40 million state-of-the-art primate-research facility - a project that is bitterly opposed by animal-rights activists and critically important to the British government, which views scientific research...
...announced, the GAO issued two critical reports, one of which said there are "significant weaknesses in the testing and training procedures for TSA airport screeners." The TSA collects too little information on screeners' performance and doesn't yet have a systematic way of training supervisors, the reports found.

...Justice Department is trying to make a swift start, perhaps to forestall calls for a special counsel. The clamor faded a bit last week, but it will be back. So half a dozen agents are on the case, government sources told TIME, led by Inspector John Eckenrode, a seasoned veteran of leak probes and other sensitive investigations.

But if the probers narrow their scope to a shortlist of possible leakers, the handling of the case could become very controversial very quickly. FBI agents have already been asking reporters...
After three months of searching, the top U.S. weapons inspector in Iraq has come back with news that all sides are using as an occasion for "I told you so." In an interim report to Congress, David Kay said his 1,200-member inspection team had "not yet found stocks" of illicit weapons--no large caches of poison gas or germ agents, no proof that Saddam was remotely close to reconstituting a nuclear program and no evidence of an attempt to buy uranium from Africa. In fact, the report said an African country had offered uranium to Iraq, but Saddam...
