Tehran's response? Chillier than a maiden with an unwanted suitor. "There has been very little coming back," laments a senior Clinton aide. Iranian officials have dismissed Washington's feelers, arguing that crushing economic sanctions are still in place. CIA director George Tenet warned this month that Iran "remains the most active state sponsor" of terrorism and could test a long-range missile "in the next few years" that could reach...
...Deutch's successor and onetime protege, George Tenet, and other agency underlings are accused of mishandling the matter once it came to light. An inspector general's report, leaked last week to the New York Times, concludes that Tenet and his colleagues took actions that delayed the investigation. Those close to the probe say it wasn't a cover-up--rather that Tenet et al. were concerned about protecting the Deutch family's privacy.

Did he understand what was at stake when he decided to write classifed documents on his personal computer? CIA insiders, including George Tenet, the agency's current leader, agree that Deutch's security lapse was very serious, but are publicly insisting that Deutch's blunder does not approach the gravity of the Los Alamos breach allegedly orchestrated...
There is a more nuanced, even insidious, argument for Hitler's pre-eminence: that good and evil are dependent on one another. It is a fundamental tenet to many religions that evil, while mysterious, may clear the way for good, that the soul is perfected only in battle, that pain and ecstasy are somehow twins, that only a soul--or a century--that has truly suffered can truly realize joy. Again we sense this instinctively--the pleasure we feel when a tooth stops hurting reminds us that we live our life in contexts and contrasts, and so perhaps...
