Democrats do sense a possibly potent campaign theme, but they run the risk of appearing to politicize a sensitive national-security issue as they try to prove the Administration has a credibility gap. But Democrats are not alone in feeling as though they may have been sandbagged on the evidence before the war began. Sources say G.O.P. Senate Intelligence Committee members Olympia Snowe and Hagel have privately questioned the Administration's handling of prewar intelligence. The Republican-held House voted last week to order the CIA to report back on "lessons learned" from the buildup to war in Iraq...

The current truce is based on agreements between Israel, the U.S., the Palestinian Authority (PA) and the Palestinian militant organizations actually waging the armed intifada that...
...There are people out there who are thriving on the thought that Saddam is still alive," says Hicks. By aggressively pursuing and detaining leaders of the former regime, a campaign being carried out by a special unit called Task Force 20, the U.S. intends to demoralize the diehards and prove to ordinary Iraqis still wary of openly cooperating with Americans that Saddam's rule is truly over. "We are absolutely focused on making sure that we can capture all the individuals on the blacklist," General Ricardo Sanchez, the commander of U.S. forces in Iraq, told TIME...
