Where to hold the detainees is a more difficult question. A proposal to move some of them to Fort Leavenworth in Kansas met with fierce bipartisan opposition from the state's Democratic governor, Kathleen Sebelius, and its Republican Senators, Sam Brownback and Lynn Jenkins. Other states may prove equally resistant. Sarah E. Mendelson of CSIS says the best solution may be to scatter the Gitmo detainees across several jails. "There's no need for them to be in one place, in one prison," she says...
...franchise had become successful enough that ESPN launched the Winter X Games, featuring skiers and snowboarders. The winter event eventually got substantially more "extreme" with the inclusion of sports like snowmobile freestyle and ice climbing - a strenuously athletic yet visually uninspiring sport that didn't prove popular enough to stay on the docket. But in one respect, USA Today wasn't far off: the X Games, both winter and summer, have become a proving ground of sorts, with organizers unafraid to experiment with burgeoning sports, some of which have stuck around and some which have fallen by the wayside after...
...your story "Can Israel Survive?" [Jan. 19]: I propose that the U.S. say, "Israel, we love and support you but not your unethical occupation of Palestinian territory. If you really recognize the right to the existence of a Palestinian state, prove it by getting out of the occupied territories. You might say, 'Well, we did, in Gaza--and look how that turned out!'

...sake of fairness, I would like to remind you of what occurred: a New York jury held that TIME's article was defamatory and false and that TIME had acted "negligently and carelessly" but held that Sharon, my father, had been unable to prove it was written "with actual malice or reckless disregard." The case was therefore dismissed. The case was also brought before an Israeli court, which agreed that TIME was guilty of defamation; TIME paid court costs and compensation. If such a judgment is a victory, we have different concepts of honesty. Gilad Sharon, SHIKMIM FARMS, ISRAEL...
...move reflects a last-gasp provocation by the Bush administration, which has never forgotten France's emphatic non before the invasion of Iraq. Mistral - who was economic adviser at the French Embassy in Washington during the stormy period from 2001 to 2006 - says the current swipe at Roquefort will prove less economically threatening than the Iraq-triggered American public boycott of France's wines in 2003 - and shorter-lived than the deportation of French fries from Congress' menu. "Even from this administration, I was astounded by such a grotesque, petty and inefficient gesture in its last hours in office," Mistral...
