...from a firm doing business in the Sudan also compels us to call on Harvard Management Company (HMC) to disclose all of its holdings in firms with significant commercial activities in the Sudan and with the Khartoum regime. While we still believe that HMC cannot feasibly operate with constant oversight of all its holdings, the Sudanese genocide is an exceptional circumstance that warrants extreme measures such as disclosure, and possibly divestment.

General Stanley Green, the Army Inspector General (IG), that TIME obtained last week. An investigation recommended last summer that Miller be reprimanded for poor oversight of a high-value prisoner at Gitmo. But Green told TIME that the evidence is not there to back charges against Miller of dereliction and lying to Congress about his role in the scandal. The report concludes that at Gitmo Miller was unaware a canine had been used to intimidate...
