I think Rumsfeld has lost some important allies on (Capitol) Hill and in the senior military. But I don't see how the president would find it in his political interest to get rid of Rumsfeld unless he also wants to change policy and use Rumsfeld as kind of a scapegoat or whipping boy or whatever. But there doesn't seem to be any evidence that the president wants to blame anybody or change his mind.

This is a political festival. This is a festival that talks about brave things and mirrors them to the world. It talks about things that are covered, and the films [uncover] them, so that public opinion can have a look at things perhaps [people] knew little about or had different feelings about.

Mr. Netanyahu and Mr. Arafat are at cross-purposes here. Mr. Netanyahu wants to tell his people that he has achieved a better agreement, with much better safeguards for Israelis. But the more he brags about his own achievement, the less desirable this agreement becomes for Mr. Arafat. Unless the two sides can indeed make the political decision to reach an agreement despite their own internal political achievements, we won't have an agreement.

Psychologically, in the long term, this could have a very profound impact in the sense that Israelis are grieving for an Arab monarch or identifying with an Arab nation, something that's never happened before. I think, however, in the short term, if we judge it in political terms, it's not going to have much of an effect.

It's a terrible irony to see somebody who has done so much for bringing war criminals to trial in the former Yugoslavia.. Is now being brought up on a charge that he may have embezzled funds in the account of the Mission and only on the basis of a yet unconcluded investigation,.. This has to be a purposeful, political vendetta.

We've closed over 47,000 cases since we opened our doors in early 1996, and it's never been my understanding that's why a family came here. They come here to escape political persecution, or to make a better life for themselves -- not to have a U.S.-born-citizen child who can apply for the parent to become a citizen 21 years later.

They're not from a Communist country, and so folks tend to assume they're just economic refugees. They don't have the kind of political clout that a lot of other groups have. And frankly, I think the color of their skin has a lot to do with it.

The American people don't see this as a No. 1 issue, so (Bush's team is) not really willing at this point to take a lot of action, which they fear would cost jobs. If it comes about as a result of other steps they're taking, then fine. They don't volunteer it because they don't see that they're going to get a political benefit for it, and it'll just make some people mad.
