...Talk of the Nation," which discussed the issue for an hour with Patrick Clawson, the director for research at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, and Rania Masri, the coordinator of the Iraq Action Coalition. "Discussed" might be a bit too euphemistic for the polite attempt to maintain any semblance of decorum that ensued. Exchanging charges of American obstinance and anti-Islamic biases with claims of Iraqi corruption and noncompliance, the guests agreed on very little except the dire state of the average Iraqi family--especially its women and children...
...military elite has long been associated with solid conservative values, but generally it has refrained from airing its views, or even voting, choosing instead to maintain a veneer of political neutrality.

Companies that ignore these no-call lists can pay a high price. In May, Georgia's consumer-affairs office fined TruGreen/Chemlawn $45,000 for repeated violations. In states such as Arkansas and Florida, consumers pay nominal fees to join the lists, and companies pay a few dollars for copies. "It's duplicative, and it's expensive," argues Stephen Altobelli, spokesman for the Direct Marketing Association, says of the state lists. The group maintains a nationwide...
