When Reno?s internal investigation is completed, the likely finding will be that Coulson was right ?- the two forgotten devices were fired, and bounced away harmlessly six hours before the blaze erupted. The mainstream press, well accustomed to the big and small incompetencies of the Washington bureaucracies, will likely believe it. A significant slice of the republic will not. And some of them ?- self-styled neo-minutemen with a serious beef against King Sam and the arsenal to back it up ?- may well lock, load...

Germany?s government opened for business in Berlin Monday, for the first time since Russian troops raised their flag on the Reichstag in 1945. And, like the press corps assigned to cover it, Germany?s political class is reveling in the decision to move the capital from the sleepy provincial city of Bonn.
