After the head of Germany's Dresdener Bank, Jurgen Ponto, was murdered in July, some of his friends gathered for a memorial service in Sensbachtal, where Ponto had kept a hunting lodge. Looking around the room, which contained some of the biggest names in German industry and politics, one man remarked, "The next victim of terrorism is almost certainly standing in this room now."

In the press secretary's view, some of the reportorial digging around Lance has been gratuitous, overplayed and underresearched...
