Inside the Bush White House on 9 11 War Council
Condoleezza Rice testified before the Sept 11 commission revealing a disciplined but top down administration. The Bush team inherited Clarke’s anti terrorism framework and built a longer term plan to counter al Qaida. The process lacked front line input and some agency follow through. Rice noted time needed to meet the challenge and praised the president’s stance while acknowledging gaps in warning and communication across agencies. White House curiosity and direct presidential engagement were questioned against Kennedy style hands on leadership.

Iraq at crossroad as Shiite rebels threaten democracy
The piece argues that uprisings led by Moktada al-Sadr threaten the planned June 30 transfer of power and 2005 elections in Iraq. It warns that Article 7 of the interim constitution could permit a Shiite majoritarian state, risking minority rights and religious freedom, while urging United Nations involvement and broader international support to defend democracy. Charles C. Haynes discusses constitutional flaws and the need to protect rights amid sectarian tension.

What Kansas K-12 spending figure really matters
Bob L. Corkins argues that the total K-12 price per pupil, not base state aid, best reflects investment in Kansas schools. He contends 9,389 dollars per student in 2003-04 is a conservative, apples-to-apples measure, including direct USD spending and potential fully allocated costs, and highlights that spending has risen faster than inflation for a decade. Corkins is executive director of the Freestate Center for Liberty Studies.
