Combating Global Terrorism and Crime
DIRECTOR MUELLER: Well, if I do that, it's like honoring a person, or two or three, and there are about five or ten in the room, and you always miss somebody, so I'm not necessarily pick on a country. I will tell you it's gotten better. And it's gotten better over the last several years, particularly since -- quite obviously since September 11th because I think persons around the world recognize the numbers of women and children who were killed in those senseless acts and do not want to see that happen again anywhere in the world. ...

Department of State Washington File: Transcript: White House Daily Briefing, April 23
MR. FLEISCHER: Well, I think -- let me just say, Karen is the person who approached me and recruited me to move to Texas to work for Governor Bush. And she really made me feel welcome and at home when I made the move, and brought me in to the Texas operation of the Texas team and to Governor Bush's approach. That was back in the fall of 1999. And I'm going to miss her. I think everybody in this White House is going to miss her and miss her a lot. She is very, very good at what she does. And so I think we're all going to have to work a little harder and try to make up for Karen going home, because she's hard to replace. ... [Read More]
U.S. Initiatives At NATO's Istanbul Summit
In Bosnia, NATO can look back with a sense of accomplishment at the success of the mission it undertook in 1995 at Dayton. NATO brought peace and provided the security umbrella under which the Bosnian people, the UN, the EU and the OSCE could work to reconstruct the country and to address the underlying factors that led to conflict. At Istanbul, NATO will announce that its Stability Force (SFOR) has completed its mission and will terminate at the end of 2004. NATO forces went into Bosnia to stop a war, enforce a peace and separate two warring armies in the same state. That has been accomplished and the security situation has changed dramatically. ...

Department of State Washington File: Transcript: White House Daily Briefing, April 11
MR. FLEISCHER: The President has always said that is the mission. I am not going to be able to shed any more light on when the President will say the mission is accomplished. ... MR. FLEISCHER: I think it's worth pointing out what happened in Iraq's second largest city, in Basra, as something that may be indicative of what will happen in the largest city, Baghdad. That is what we witnessed in Basra. And it is, just as the military briefed yesterday, part of their mission as the military civil affairs units move into place. ... [Read More]
Freedom Paper No. 1: Free & Independent Media
Transmission can be an equally important issue. In manycountries, a ministry of communications controls all radio andtelevision transmitting equipment and conducts all transmissions,charging broadcasters for the service. This arrangement has twomajor disadvantages: the broadcaster is subject to arbitrarypricing, and transmission can be cut off at the whim of theministry. With the collapse of the totalitarian state, manyministries have tried to maximize their own revenues byarbitrarily raising transmission charges to broadcasters. Thisprice rise has put an additional strain on existing broadcastersand made it more difficult for entrepreneurs to enter the mediamarket. ... [Read More]
