...CHARGED. JAMES KANYOTU, Kenya's former spy chief, and four others; with fraud, in connection with Kenya's largest ever corruption scandal; in Nairobi. Attorney General Amos Wako ordered the charges based on the findings of an official inquiry into the $600 million Goldenberg scandal, which involved payments for fictitious gold and diamond exports during the administration of President Daniel arap Moi in the early 1990s. Though the report also pressed for charges against former Finance Minister George Saitoti, who quit over the report, Saitoti was not charged and denies involvement. None of the five charged entered a plea...
...journalist Mark Danner has described systematic torture in American detention facilities as a scandal that “survived its disclosure.” Danner’s elegant phrase points to the total failure of hierarchal accountability in the wake of revelations of abuse, and it suggests our complicity in this failure. We express our revulsion at the Abu Ghraib photos, while averting our eyes from the paper trail leading conclusively upwards from there.

...Their attitude is on a par with the feminists who roundly called for the immolation of all naval officers who were even in Las Vegas during the “tailhook episode,” while turning about and defending President Clinton’s actions during the Lewinsky scandal. As a former law student (though not at Harvard), it strikes me as ludicrous that law professors feel a need to censor the recruitment process for graduating 3Ls, who are at least 24 years old. In a time when universities refuse to be paternalistic about students’ sexual behavior...
