There was no forced "regime change" and no "shock and awe," merely a swift, armored thrust by Russia's Vladikavkaz-based 58th army that dispersed an ill-advised Georgian military assault on the Moscow-protected statelet of South Ossetia. And though the Russian air force took undisputed control of the skies and targeted some aspects of Georgia's infrastructure, there was no plan to systematically destroy it. The whole thing ended with an internationally brokered deal mat secured the Russian army's withdrawal to its pre-war positions and the insertion of European monitors to guarantee the peace. There is a red line, where Russia cannot accept further pressure on its borders in its traditional geopolitical arena," says Natalya Narochnitskaya, former deputy chair of the State Duma's foreig...

Heated denials notwithstanding, Scotland's "compassionate release" of convicted Libyan Lockerbie bomber Abdel Baset al- Megrahi was part of a three-way oil deal among Britain, Libya and Scotland. The two key players were Seif al-Islam Gadhafi, the ebullient Libyan leader's second son and heir apparent, and Sir Mark Allen, former head of the counterterrorism department of Britain's MI6 intelligence service. Mr. Allen and the younger Mr. Gadhafi also were the two key players in 2003 when Col. Moammar Gadhafi was persuaded to give up his career as an international terrorist, along with his nuclear- weapons kit, secretly sold by Pakistan's nuclear black marketer Abdul Qadeer Khan. The former British master spy joined BP PLC when he retired from MI6. He is a senior executive with the British...
