...part, the Bush Administration is dismissive of serious conservation. Vice President Cheney, who headed an Administration task force to devise an energy strategy--a group whose work was carried out in secret and whose papers remain secret--expressed the attitude two years ago in a now infamous way: "Conservation may be a sign of personal virtue, but it is not a sufficient basis for a sound, comprehensive energy policy." Representative Raymond Green, a Texas Democrat, was more blunt when the House earlier this year beat back an attempt to raise mileage standards. While allowing that he was for "better...
...estimated 680 other inmates from 42 countries, have been denied lawyers and not been charged. In a military tribunal, other protections of the civilian U.S. justice system would be denied them. They would be required to use a U.S. military lawyer, for example, and not allowed to see "secret" evidence.

That's right: Ray works for the CIA gathering information about local political operatives, in particular a brilliant, charismatic local doctor. (Poor, hot and ravaged by aids, Rush's Botswana practically vibrates with political instability.) This isn't just a whim on the author's part: Mortals comes with...
...seems that at least a part of the disputed evidence accusing Saddam Hussein of seeking uranium in Niger originated with the Italian secret service. Was there political pressure to find proof of weapons of mass destruction? There was no political pressure. I had no knowledge of these facts...
