...realize they were working together so well. Even as they convicted the right man, the heterogeneous teams were likelier to report afterward that they'd done the job inefficiently and not very collegially. Unmixed teams that picked the wrong guy believed they'd worked pleasantly and well. Their watch ran smoothly; it just kept the wrong time...
When Iraq's provincial elections in January ran smoothly, observers touted the outcome as a positive step toward a freer society. But elections alone don't make a democracy. A draft law to regulate nongovernmental organizations was approved this week by the Cabinet, unsettling elements of the nascent local NGO community, who say that parts of the law raise concerns about how free and fair the new Iraq will...

Its reactors ran at a record 92% capacity last year. It's doing a better job of storing its radioactive waste at its plants. It has standardized designs for new reactors, which should enhance safety, and it has successfully lobbied to streamline its regulatory process, which should reduce delays...
