...raped "by 100 men" if she continued investigating a rape case in which he was implicated. Dostum denies ever making such a threat, telling TIME that the rape allegation is "propaganda." And yet a witness to the phone call, military prosecutor General Habibullah Qasemi, was dismissed from his government post soon afterward, despite carrying a sheaf of glowing recommendation letters penned by U.S. military supervisors. The perception that warlords, protected by their influence and threats of violence, are not held accountable for their crimes has rocked Afghan society and fueled public discontent with the U.S.-backed Afghan government...
...pushed through a strategy to suppress Iraq's festering civil war; the losers are warlords like Donald Rumsfeld and Paul Wolfowitz, who agitated for the invasion and then lost control over its outcome through naiveté or ineptitude.

Did we really need to know what Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley was doing for New Year's? ("I didn't stay up to see Ball drop. I will watch Hawkeyw ftball. Otherwise read. Not a very exciting new year celebration but tradition for me.") Or that McCaskill broke her diet on Saturday and had a chocolate mousse with raspberry sauce?
