Those numbers certainly appear to go against the tenor of what the agency had told the OLC when it sought a legal opinion on the use of waterboarding. An Aug 1, 2002, memo by Assistant Attorney General Jay Bybee says the CIA had "indicated that these acts will not be used with substantial repetition, so that there is no possibility that severe physical pain could arise from such repetition. Accordingly, we conclude that these acts neither separately nor as part of a course of conduct would inflict severe physical pain or suffering with the meaning of the statute." (Read "Bush...
...pushed in the direction of restricting commerce with other nations if the other nations act first. Obama faces the problem of having a Congress which will generally support him. But, when a Representative's district is losing jobs because of the dumping of Japanese steel or Swiss watches, the tenor of the conversation will change.

In particular, Jennifer Cohen shines as Maggie Jones, a role that could read as too over...
...exquisitely sung. Davis was able to produce brilliance with her lower voice that was complemented by the fullness of her upper register. She also gave a most entrancing dramatic performance, especially in the opening of the fourth act. The title role of Otello was sung with gusto by the tenor Brian Landry, whose commanding stage presence and intensity of tone provided a compelling portrayal of the general. He did a marvelous job of conveying the rapidly changing emotions that Otello experiences over the course of the production, but sometimes these shifts were overly dramatic. His singing, which occasionally pushed...
