More SUVs mean not only more floods and hurricanes, but terrorists as well. Neo-conservatives wring their hands in dismay, as the oil-rich regimes of Sudan and Iran have proved resilient to American pressures.

Viet Dinh, former assistant AG to John Ashcroft and an author of the Patriot Act, has been his best friend since they had a nightlong argument freshman year at Harvard about what the framers of the Constitution thought of men's souls. Dinh toes the G.O.P. line on the probe but believes "Preet can be trusted to follow the facts and take appropriate actions." Gonzales testifies April...
