...want the official war news, that's easy--go to the Pentagon's comprehensive site, www.defendamerica.mil where you can find just about every word Donald Rumsfeld has uttered since 9/11.

Ross is only one small part of the puzzle, of course - in recent days the Bush administration has dispatched Condoleeza Rice and Donald Rumsfeld to buck up U.S. allies, named an ambassador to the Northern Alliance, appointed advertising supremo Charlotte Beers (whose resume includes stellar campaigns for Head and Shoulders shampoo and Uncle Ben's Rice) as Undersecretary of State for Public Diplomacy to sell the American point of view, and announced that the President would...
