...groups) who say it is a "no-brainer." As it is, federal officers are "10 steps" behind the bad guys, says John R. Ramsey, national vice president of the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association, because they are busy spinning their wheels, serving subpoenas on third parties or conducting long-term surveillance, trying to pierce the corporate veil. Changing the rules is such a priority that these groups are willing to redeploy homeland-security funds, intended for first responders, to pay for the implementation, because they figure it will ultimately save them lots of money and time...

The longer-term goal of venturing out to Mars is being tabled along with it. (See pictures of the Ares rocket...

Ahmadinejad spent much of his first term filling positions with allies from the Revolutionary Guard, the élite military force, and they returned the favor by orchestrating the postelection crackdown. It's not clear now just who calls the shots. Also, concerned with the danger posed to the regime's survival by internal strife, hard-liners may be tempted to pick a fight with the West to create a pretext for cracking down harder at home...
