Ian Rankin is the champ when it comes to connecting the personal and the political, and he outdoes himself here. Detective John Rebus, grieving over his brother's death, and his sidekick Siobhan Clarke, trying to protect her elderly parents while they protest at the 2005 G-8 summit in Edinburgh,simultaneously track down a sophisticated computer-savvy revenge killer and uncover official corruption.

No, George W. Bush has not committed an impeachable offense by saving Scooter Libby from jail time. The action is a perfectly legal presidential prerogative, although, as some have charged, it may be a quid pro quo to stop Libby from spilling Dick Cheney's beans on the savaging of Valerie Plame.

Bush has the possibility of going beyond the previous experiences (of impeachment) by calling into question the fundamental thrust of American foreign policy, the class nature of national politics, and the corporate domination of the culture.?
