...combative anchor of No. 3-ranked CBS Evening News; effective March 9, 2005. The longest-serving evening news anchor, Rather made his reputation, in his words, as a "reporter-anchor, not an anchor-reporter." Career highs included covering the assassination of John F. Kennedy, winning the first interview with Saddam Hussein after the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait in 1990, and, earlier this year, breaking the story of abuse at Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison. More overtly emotional than his fellow network anchors, Rather was famous for folksy Southern "Danisms" like "This race is hotter than a Times Square Rolex...
...Secretary of Defense has a dreadful track record when it comes to intelligence. In Bush's first term, Rumsfeld set up an Office of Special Plans in the Pentagon to challenge the CIA's cautious analysis of Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction by touting the incendiary garbage provided by Iraqi exiles. That is, I suppose, a version of intelligence reform: a system in which fantasies are produced to support the President's policy preferences.

The situation in Iraq is very difficult and dangerous, but the coalition must remain until there is no further threat from the insurgents. Luigi Gianola Como, Italy...
...gulf had to pay tax to the P.L.O. He spent the cash on stipends and services for the 4 million Palestinian refugees, but most of it went to finance "military operations" and buy the support of cronies. The money started to dry up in 1991, when Arafat backed Saddam Hussein in the Gulf War and lost the support of governments in the gulf, which expelled most of their Palestinian workers, cutting Arafat's tax revenue...
...invasion of Iraq [Oct. 25]. But the fact is that President George W. Bush and Prime Minister Tony Blair are nearly the only people who are willing to act and not just talk. If it weren't for these men, no action would have been taken against Saddam Hussein until the world was on the verge of destruction, and by then it would have been too late. Just imagine how effective the fight against terrorism could be if all the countries of the world worked together instead of sitting back and relentlessly criticizing the actions of the U.S. and Britain...
