Because in recent months, Mitsubishi's former truck unit admitted to covering up a potentially lethal mechanical defect in its trucks; separately, Mitsubishi Motors launched a massive recall of its cars, including the Pajero, to fix defects that it had kept secret for more than a decade. As the scandal has widened, Japan's fifth largest carmaker has come to be seen as a case study of a self-serving corporation that systematically concealed safety problems to protect its brand.

Rumsfeld has been faulted for committing too few troops and too little planning to postwar Iraq. Returning National Guard leaders have been telling their congressional representatives about chaos in the field. There is also some rustling among the brass about General Tommy Franks' memoir, to be published in August. Bob Woodward reported that Franks once called Under Secretary of Defense Douglas Feith, who was charged with postwar planning, "the [Cheney expletive] stupidest guy on the face of the earth," and some defense...
