...only websites, not users, can catch Code Red. And not much happened even to them. The biggest damage was done to a Pentagon public website, which was slowed down a bit. The Pentagon site, upon investigation, doesn?t contain much in the way of sensitive material, other than the somewhat surprising fact that Pentagon employees consume 1,700 pints of milk each day.

But Bush, in his eagerness to keep ANWR alive and give his House Republicans something to brag about when they head home for summer recess, has put himself in a somewhat unprofitable position.

NATO showed great resolve in forcing the Serbs to accept the Dayton accord on Bosnia and later in getting them out of Kosovo, but the alliance has proved rather wimpish when its peacekeeping troops are confronted by continued ethnic cleansing (as in Kosovo) or new separatist insurgencies...
