...blow old paint, grease and oil from parts. Consider the flame spray machine Cat uses at Shrewsbury. Inside a tightly sealed booth, a nozzle attached to a robotic arm shoots out a constant spray of what look like white-hot sparks - picture a particularly robust Roman candle - onto a row of four cylinder heads. What it's actually spraying, however, is molten metal, adding a new 1-mm-thick layer of chrome or nickel to the head. Each time a cylinder goes through remanufacturing, a milling machine shaves a fraction of a millimeter off the cylinder's head to remove...
...government information machine under Campbell, goes to the heart of his darkest period. Campbell's bitter dispute with the BBC after its correspondent Andrew Gilligan said in 2003 that Campbell had "sexed up" a government dossier about Saddam Hussein's weapons capability still occludes his achievements.

...countries," says a former U.S. official. "It was all well and good for Britain to offer up ground troops, but that was only going to happen if America was going to do so, too." During one angry call to Blair, Clinton accused Campbell of briefing against him. The row blew over and Campbell remains a friend and fan of the former President, remarking only half-jokingly that Clinton emerges from the book as "a Godlike figure...
