...befits India's dirty Harry, Inspector Pradeep Sharma has a taste for lethal one-liners. Asked how he polices Bombay's gangland, he slams a clip into a confiscated Uzi submachine gun and growls, "A bullet for a bullet." When a group of burly officers begins to work over a pair of reluctant informers handcuffed to a fridge in the station house, he explains, "It's the only language they understand." But Sharma saves his best material to explicate why he does what he does. He leans back in his chair, assumes a deadeyed stare and snarls, "Criminals are filth...
...bureau pledged to upgrade its computer system, but a recent review by the Justice Department Inspector General dismissed the $458 million effort so far. "The FBI continues to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on I.T. projects without adequate assurance that these projects will meet their intended goals," the report said.

...gaps in Iraq's weapons disclosure put it in "material breach" of UN Security Council Resolution 1441, says Washington. Yet the Bush Administration refrained Thursday from seeking UN endorsement of that view, and triggering an invasion of Iraq. Chief UN weapons inspector Dr. Hans Blix told the Council that Iraq's declaration contained little new information about its weapons programs and left key questions unanswered, and Secretary of State Colin Powell warned that Baghdad had failed "to move us in the direction of a peaceful resolution." But instead of demanding Security Council support for going to war, Powell emphasized...
...well connected as Janet Rehnquist. A former White House staff member for the first President Bush, she's the daughter of Chief Justice William Rehnquist--whose Supreme Court ensured there would be a second President Bush. No surprise that 16 months ago, she got a job as inspector general at the Health and Human Services (HHS) Department. But her connections may be wearing thin. The General Accounting Office (GAO) began an investigation in October into charges that she has mismanaged the office. Among the allegations: that she forced out a number of senior career staff members, improperly kept...
