...Ridge welcomes the second looks that his successor, Secretary Janet Napolitano, has initiated at the department he helped create. Just a few weeks ago, Ridge says, he joined former Secretary Michael Chertoff in a discussion with Napolitano's advisers about the future of the color-coded terrorism-alert system. "Neither Secretary Chertoff nor I are married to five levels. We're not necessarily married to colors," Ridge says. "We were most concerned about reinforcing the notion that whether it's a color, whether it's a number, whether it's five, whether it's three, it is a signal that...
...shouldn't come as a surprise then that the operatives turned to contractors, ex-military who had the merit of having gone through survival training, where among other things they picked up a familiarity with waterboarding.

If Cash for Clunkers is really all it takes to get us up and moving again, that $3 billion will look like the smartest money Washington spent all year...
...their patience is wearing thin amid the name-calling. It would be stretched to the limit with a run-off. "This government can do nothing right. Even by cheating, these politicians cannot win," says shopkeeper Siddiq Sadeg. He would not disclose for whom he voted, only saying it was neither Karzai nor Abdullah. And that candidate would remain his choice - if he'd bother to go to the polls again...
