...Klein's article about the National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) report on the Iranian nuclear program and President George W. Bush's response to it was quite disturbing [Dec. 17]. Before the NIE findings, how close did Bush push us into yet another military engagement? When Bush talks about winning in Iraq, what is it that we will have won? Will it be worth our military losses of more than 3,800 Americans killed and thousands more maimed or mentally affected? The NIE report is a reminder of Bush's disconnect with the reality that we Americans are forced to live...
Thanks to Klein for his article's poetic conclusion. Along with Joe Biden's assessment of Bush as possibly "one of the most incompetent Presidents in modern American history," the truth that many of us have known finally wins out. So much for legacy...
...Klein's cover story was very dangerous and misleading. No matter what the latest conclusion is from some of the government's analysts, the President of Iran has threatened a U.S. ally with extinction.

The problem I have with the whole debate is that everyone looks at Iran's approach to nuclear-weapons development from a traditional-warfare point of view. Think of the disruption a well-placed bomb could cause if it were set off in key strategic locations, like midtown Manhattan and outside the Capitol. I would be more concerned with the enrichment program than with the weaponization or delivery-systems side. Developing systems to detect and track this material would...
...Elliot Lifson, vice chairman of Montreal-based Peerless Clothing, which has outsourced 70% of its production to plants in China, India and Vietnam over the past three years. Once the loonie passed 80¢, the $500 million company, which has exclusive licensing agreements with top designers, including Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein and Michael Kors, exporting to the U.S. became problematic. "Our margins would have been eaten up," says Lifson. Peerless continues to make its most expensive garments at a Montreal plant that employs 2,000 because of its proximity to the company's main distribution center in St. Albans...
