...person who is listening to Casey is U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. Casey will stay on as the top U.S. military officer in Iraq until 2007, rather than rotate out after the customary one-year tour. Rumsfeld has also asked General John Abizaid, head of military operations in the Middle East, to extend his term for another year, Pentagon sources tell TIME, and Abizaid agreed.

Today's Army, the second report concludes...

The conservative Study Committee has a retreat on January 30-31 where each will speak, as well as conservative icons Donald Rumsfeld, Newt Gingrich and George Will. And all three already have plans on Feb. 1 to speak to the Tuesday Group, a coalition of GOP moderates. Neither the moderates nor the conservatives, however, are likely to make a single endorsement en masse, since clusters of each have already endorsed different candidates.
