* "Senior police officers say they have been ordered to help rig the result of the Ukrainian presidential election and to use violence, including bombings, to undermine the opposition." curiously, new f/page stories today are sugegsting that the oz dep pm was involved in something similar. less the violence. http://news.independent.co.uk/europe/story.jsp?story=583661
* nyt ed is glowing about condi "Ms. Rice, a former academic, has no real background in managing a vast bureaucracy or in hands-on diplomacy. But she has other attributes that could serve her well in her new job. Unlike Colin Powell, Ms. Rice seems willing to travel constantly." very generous. snap. http://www.nytimes.com/2004/11/17/opinion/17wed1.html
* safire: " Will Rice, as most Foggy Bottom secretaries do, "go native" - be absorbed by the accommodationist mind-set that is the hallmark of professional diplomacy?" when people start using words like accomdationist to describe anyone, we are in trouble. http://www.nytimes.com/2004/11/17/opinion/17safi.html
