...Gates established a reputation for discretion and consensus. He let Casey fight the CIA's secret wars and the even more vicious inside-the-Beltway wars. He must have driven the special prosecutor crazy during Iran-contra, sticking to the truth but giving up nothing that could sink the Reagan Administration. When Gates finally left government, he wrote a bland, ruffle-no-feathers memoir. He never talked out of school about the Bushes. He never took on the CIA in public or offended the rank and file.

...vicious murder, but the killers may escape punishment, because they crossed a border that most of the world doesn't recognize. In January 2005, Elmas Guzelyurtlu, a Turkish Cypriot businessman living near Nicosia in the southern part of Cyprus, was awoken by intruders. They took him, his wife[an error occurred while processing this directive] and 15-year-old daughter into a waiting car, drove them to a deserted highway pull-off, and shot them in the head.
