...jail on corruption charges. Hamas runs the Palestinian government. His beloved Sycamore Ranch in the Negev is within striking distance of Palestinian rockets fired from Gaza. His friend and crony Moshe Katzav, the President of Israel, is under investigation for rape. Sharon would also learn that with Olmert's limp hand at the helm, the fortunes of his Kadima party are fast sinking; a poll last Thursday showed that 77% of Israelis disapprove of Olmert, whom they perceive as weak and shifty. Nor is America as obedient to Israel's demands as it was when Sharon was giving bear hugs...
...held captive at any time or in any place. Waddah's grin reveals two missing front teeth, the result of severe beating with the butt of an AK-47, and his face is drawn and gaunt from long captivity.

He is among the lucky ones. The town's mayor, Haji Mohammed Hassan al-Zubeidy, says some 180 people have been murdered in Dujail since Saddam's trial began in October 2005. Basam Ridha, adviser to the Prime Minister for the Saddam trial, puts the number closer to 200. About...
...politician Tiny Duffy, simply adding a weak Southern accent to his alter ego of Tony Soprano. Kate Winslet’s awkward bangs and dye-job are more memorable than her portrayal of pseudo-femme fatale Anne Stanton; as her supposedly honorable brother, Mark Ruffalo’s limp presence seems equally superfluous to the central plot. BOTTOM LINE: The filmmakers do an excellent job of editing down the epic tract into a manageable two hours, while still adding a richness of visual detail on Southern life and politics. But Penn Warren’s sweeping prose on universal themes...
