...Lewis Libby, chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney, has been indicted on charges of obstruction of justice, perjury and making false statements by a federal grand jury investigating the leak of the identity of a covert CIA operative. Special counsel Patrick Fitzgerald, who heads the two-year-old investigation, believes that Libby lied about how he learned-then shared with reporters-the identity of Valerie Plame, a covert CIA operative who is married to Joseph Wilson, a former diplomat who has been fiercely critical of the Bush Administration's claims about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq...
...consumers, we need time to make adjustments--often very expensive ones--to the new technologies. Not everyone can afford to junk a two-year-old SUV to buy a new hybrid. Most people can't afford to abandon houses built in developments 100 miles out in the countryside when oil was cheap. And although energy and power companies are investing in new technologies, they can't create a massive new infrastructure overnight. Coal liquefaction, nuclear power, wind power--"all of these things need an enormous lead time," says Heinberg. The problem with the free market, in short, is that while...
...file-sharing services offshore, where it can’t touch them. It would be better off filing suits only against services that explicitly encourage the sharing of copyrighted materials.

But he also inherited the National Response Plan, a 426-page report published last December that DHS heralded as "a bold step forward in bringing unity in our response to disasters and terrorist threats and attacks." Outlining detailed lines of authority in the event of calamity, the plan "ensures the seamless integration of the Federal Government when an incident exceeds local and state capability." The plan failed miserably...
...year was out - come more fully to life in Connolly's lively retelling, as do the Highlands, steeped in old ways and oratory, yet riven by fighting. The book also does much to answer the question that teased the film's audience: How did two white foreigners, along with their two-year-old daughter, manage among people who had been in contact with the outside world for only 60 years? If they stayed long enough, the pair reasoned, the Ganiga would eventually lose interest and resume their lives - the trick being, says Connolly, "to never interfere, never divulge a confidence...
