...fellows." We'd all seen the loading list on the bulletin board. From the size of the list, it looked like a maximum effort. I climbed into bed and went right to sleep. It was probably 2 a.m. when some guy who had the duty that night shook my shoulder and told me to get up, have breakfast and report for briefing. We got dressed, and as I was walking past the bunk of Hank Avner, who wasn't going that day, he raised up on one elbow and said, and I quote exactly, "Bite them...
...eyes of its own people. But somewhere between the two poles are the solutions being developed on the ground by combat commanders - solutions that are often somewhat discordant with the rhetoric out of Washington. President Bush, for example, rails against "illegal militias" and envisages Iraqi security forces fighting shoulder to shoulder with Americans to root them out. But "illegal militia" is a slippery and subjective category in Iraq, where every major political party has its own armed formation.

In a newspaper interview last week, he dismissed "this idea that at the time of maximum difficulty you start messing around your main ally." And Blair is right, because his main responsibility must be to get the best possible outcome for Iraq. The charge that Blair...
...retired two years ago, Elliott has carried that message to churches, radio stations and Lions Club meetings. On May 17, Brown's 50th anniversary, he will take part in a forum on South Carolina public television on the ruling's legacy. So far he has received a cold shoulder from many of the town's whites. But his goal, he insists, is not only to thaw Summerton's race relations but also to improve its dismal schools and economy, which in recent years has lost bids to attract large employers because of their concerns about the low-skilled work force...
