...charge of a “coalition of the bribed” hardly fits the facts, then. But such charges are heard loud and clear by the opposition in Warsaw. Indeed, they ask reasonably, why should they stick their necks out for Uncle Sam when there is so little quid pro quo, and the opposition party in America accuses them of being stooges? All of this comes on the heels of strains in Poland’s relations with its new partners in the European Union and sneering comments in major German publications last year referring to Poland...
...Attempting to please a torn audience has put all the big networks through growing, or rather shrinking, pains. Under fire from conservatives, CBS last year canceled its mini-series The Reagans, although it claimed the cancellation was not caused by the pressure. This, combined with the network's apparent quid pro quo offer to Jessica Lynch--a host of Viacom deals in exchange for her story of capture in Iraq--and reports of a similar offer to obtain a Michael Jackson interview, has put CBS's credibility at a low point...

...From an Israeli point of view, it failed at the first hurdle because Abbas refused to disarm the militants. From a Palestinian point of view, it failed because Israel refused to answer the "hudna" with the quid-pro-quo of prisoner releases and withdrawals. But if the blood continues to flow in the coming weeks, the post-mortem on the cease-fire will become academic. And the discussion will shift to the question of what other ideas the Bush administration has for stopping the carnage that the Israelis and Palestinians, separately and together, appear unable to halt...
