...Senate Republican leaders weren't breaking out the top-tier invitations for nothing. Three moderate GOP Senators have split with them and the White House over how to treat detainees at Guantanamo Bay and around the world. At the lunch, Senators John Warner, John McCain and Lindsey Graham were scheduled to present their case for a detainee bill that conforms to the Geneva Conventions. The White House and Senate leaders are pushing one that would allow interrogations using methods that strain - or break, depending on whom you ask - the Conventions' rules against abuse...
...just how much danger is the White House really in? It is rare for political leaders to be prosecuted for genuine attempts to protect the public, and few question the motives behind the extreme interrogation methods, even if they strongly disagree with them. More to the point, Graham, Warner and McCain have larded their bill with protections from prosecution for anything but "grave breaches" of the conventions, which they believe should be adequate to protect the White House...

Two are Senate stars - John Warner, head of the armed services committee, and John McCain, the party's front-runner for the 2008 Presidential campaign.

As the Senate's only serving judge advocate general in the armed forces, he carries authority on the subject of military trials and he has made it clear that he will oppose any attempt by either party to turn what he calls the "legal infrastructure...
Employees know, however, that even a new headquarters doesn't guarantee a better operation. "Buildings don't win games. Players do," says Kurt Warner, the veteran starting quarterback who led the team to a dismal 5-11 season last year. But buildings can produce income. The stadium could generate an additional $60 million in revenue, since the team keeps two-thirds of ticket sales and all the money from suites. The Bidwills can bank on an additional $25 million or more in estimated annual profits (on top of the $16.5 million Forbes calculates the team made in 2004), according...
