...weapon, and in judging whether Saddam was trying to get a nuclear bomb, the CIA relied in part on poorly informed contractors who had limited access to intelligence. The report also quotes the highest-ranking CIA analyst as saying she instructed staff to write "a speculative piece" that would "lean far forward" and "stretch to the maximum the evidence" in response to senior policymakers' interest in links between al-Qaeda and Saddam. That sounds eerily close to accusations made about the British government's September 2002 dossier, which included the claim that Saddam could fire chemical and biological weapons within...
...many wonder why it took so long for aid agencies to provide assistance and for Western governments to lean on Khartoum to stop the thugs. Aid workers say privately that they were focused on countries like Iraq and did not realize the extent of the catastrophe taking place in Sudan until a few months ago.

Similarly, Tad Thornton, 26, has made eating at the Lakeshore Athletic Club in Broomfield, Colo., part of his routine. After his swimming and spinning workouts, he ducks into the club's new restaurant for meals like pesto...
This international influence can be seen in Zakrzewski’s music taste, which she insists does not lean towards a single style or composer. Instead, she lists Madonna, Brazilian jazz and Argentinian tango as some types of music she likes—and adds that she also loves dancing to “whatever’s in the club...
