...even Bingham admits the DMCA may have "trampled on" a very important part of copyright law: fair use. You have the right to lend or copy parts of any paper-and-glue book you own, but you can't do the same with an e-book without the express permission of the publisher.

Bush unveiled an energy plan and then disappeared, they complain. On campaign finance, he didn't lend a hand. Requests for protection of budget items are mocked as mere pork--a point Representative Saxby Chambliss, whose Georgia district may lose its B-1 bomber contingent, raised with Bush in one of their meetings. "Mr. President, I'd like for you to come to Georgia next week," Chambliss half joked...
