...interests with Islamist sympathies to keep himself in power backfired. I disagree with that assessment. Musharraf has been using the threat of extremists to prove his utility and indispensability to the Western world. The real danger to Musharraf was from the Supreme Court, the dismissed Chief Justice and the lawyer community. That danger has now subsided, thanks to the state-of-emergency order. The only remaining danger to Musharraf was Bhutto, and that's why she is no more. The sad part is that the West has never helped us build the institutions needed to sustain democracy. Even...
...Albright Effect Thank you for Publishing Madeleine Albright's brilliant insights [Jan. 21]. I've been a lawyer in private practice for 25 years.

Finally, it turned out working with non-profits wasn't the only thing Edwards, a former trial lawyer whose estimated personal worth is as much as $30 million, did after the 2004 elections; he also worked for a New York hedge fund, earning an undisclosed sum. When asked about a possible contradiction between his words and actions, Edwards gave the unconvincing reply that he wanted to learn about...
...said Joe Trippi, a senior adviser to Edwards' campaign. "He pushed both of them further than they would've gone without him. When they wanted to blur the lines and not have real proposals, he came out with them and forced the others to move ahead." The former trial lawyer arguably won a majority of the debates, time and again challenging his opponents to refuse money from lobbyists and speed up their plans for withdrawing combat troops from Iraq...
