...namo, Gutierrez, the first person to report publicly on his mind-set since his story broke, says he now recants his previous incriminating statements, claiming they were extracted under extreme duress. That may not be surprising. Nor was Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman's response: that "the al-Qaeda training manual specifically encourages those captured to make false claims of abuse." But the more that becomes known about the al-Qahtani case--a unique window into the otherwise secretive practices at Guantánamo--the greater the government's vulnerability to challenges to its conduct there. Lawyers for some 60 Guantánamo...
...similarly loaded E-500. The only downside to the E-330 is that it was built with the larger E-300 body style, but I suppose that's just an unfortunate price to pay for the added functionality of live view. Add that to a list of features - full manual control, ultrasonic dust protection, a 7.5-megapixel image sensor, access to all of Olympus' Zuiko Digital Specific lenses, and compatibility with high-capacity CompactFlash memory cards as well as the Olympus/Fujifilm proprietary xD card - and you can see why this camera has plenty to brag about...

Happiness, the book says, is not normal...
...wonders: how many sales Honda will be able to squeeze out of the 2006 Civic Si, a sporty version of the basic model, featuring a 197-hp engine, 6-speed manual transmission, rear spoiler and other attributes dear to Gen-Y tire screechers? The basic Civic, after all, is one of the few cars that appeals to two distinct types of drivers: parents and teenage boys. In its basic form, it's a mom-mobile riding an unsinkable reputation for reliability and good fuel economy. But for more than two decades it's also been a hot youth car, often...
...system, equipped with XM satellite radio, had us rocking as we zipped out of tollbooths. Driving down windy country lanes the car cornered beautifully and handled more precisely than you'd expect from a front-wheel drive setup. Of course, to be an Si fan means loving short-throw manual gear shifts and the squeal of a high-pitched engine in the cabin. It also entails trading a smooth ride for the rattling experience that comes with a sport-tuned suspension...
