...told Time that "our American colleagues are telling us important things that they are hearing from suspects on Guantánamo," which are "significant in qualitative and quantitative terms" - though he would give no examples. But other U.S. and European officials deride the information from Camp Delta as mostly low-level and dated. One senior U.S. official with access to intelligence says he's not impressed with the quality of the interrogations. A Bologna investigator says despite the access given by the Americans, the detainees who used to live in Italy are refusing to talk until they're back...

In Jennifer Government (Doubleday; 321 pages), Max Barry imagines a near future in which our lives are so dominated by our employers that we take their last names. Barry's hero, Hack Nike (see how it works?), is a low-level cubicle dweller who gets embroiled in a scheme to stage a series of killings as a promotional gimmick to sell sneakers: it's murder as advertising. Out to stop the plan is Jennifer Government, a beleaguered agent of a Federal Government so cash strapped that...
