John Kerry chose not to mention Abu Ghraib once during the presidential debates and, further, chose not to raise the issue of Bush Administration complicity because, I am told, his advisers were afraid that the Republicans would paint him weak on the war on terrorism. Of course, Kerry's defining weakness was his unwillingness to say anything his aides thought would make him sound weak, even if it was palpably true and important and he believed...
...Well, no. The show, budgeted at an outsize $14 million, received weak reviews ("A monochromatic musical in the key of beige." -Ben Brantley, New York Times).

Europeans want the U.S. to cut the deficit; the U.S. wants Europe to stop whining and stimulate its economy, which would generate domestic demand and offset business lost to the U.S. and China because the weak dollar has made European goods so much more expensive. Both European and U.S. officials want China to revalue its yuan. With a hot economy and trade surplus, the Chinese, many Westerners believe, can handle a stronger currency, and there are signs that they will go along. The cheap yuan...
