Special K Fruit Crisps. Strawberry, and Blueberry. $3.09 per 4.4- ounce box of five pouches containing two crisps.

Sacrificed by ideologues
A Bush-appointed commission recently reported that exaggerated estimates of Iraq's weapons were one of the most public - and most damaging - intelligence failures in recent American history ("Panel calls intelligence 'dead wrong,'-" Page A-8, April 1). But I have yet to see one person claiming responsibility.
