Cases like Lee's are typical when political interests supercede the rule of law. Since 1996, the Clinton administration has been rightly criticized for its lackadaisical manner concerning Chinese gathering of American secrets. The 900-page Cox Report, unanimously approved by the bipartisan House Intelligence Committee, put enormous pressure on the White House to act. When political winds are swirling, the ability to conduct a thorough investigation is, to be sure, difficult. But to single out just one employee and saddle him with the blame is inexcusable. Even more worrisome is suspicion that Lee, a naturalized American citizen, was targeted...
...might get his wish--in a manner he didn't anticipate. In Asheville, Ginger Stivelli, co-founder of the Appalachian Pagan Alliance, is demanding equal time.

...Nasser claims Ford handled the recall in a responsible and timely manner. Not everyone agrees: Consumer safety advocates are primed for blood, and early indications are that Ford is in just as precarious a position as Firestone when it comes to the double sword of political scrutiny and public opinion. Firestone's erstwhile public relations firm, Fleishman-Hillard, apparently sees danger ahead; they dropped Firestone from their client list Tuesday. Meanwhile, the tire giant is calling in a crisis-management company in an attempt to douse their considerable woes...
