Sculpted illustration by Liz Lomax Cover design by Aaron Morales Download Issue PDF By The American Prospect Staff Features Burnt Offering Gareth Porter How a 2003 secret overture from Tehran might have led to a deal on Iran's nuclear capacity -- if the Bush administration hadn't rebuffed it. Pastor Strangelove Sarah Posner Texan John Hagee has a huge following, the ear of the White House, and a theory that an invasion of Iran was foretold in the Book of Esther. The Commissar's in Town Robert Dreyfuss Very little happens at State regarding the Middle East without the knowledge and approval of Cheney -- not Dick, but Liz, his powerful, secretive daughter. The Doable Dozen The American Prospect Staff Whether or not the Democrats have a Big Idea, they -- and some Republicans, too! -- have a slew of very good small ones.

Francis Wilkinson Fifty-plus war veterans, retired Navy men, a sheriff, a prosecutor, and a former star quarterback all running for Congress -- as Democrats?!? Wasn't the GOP supposed to be the Testosterone Party?	Columns Courting an Advantage Nan Aron Forget the search for “smoking guns” and battle it out over what matters: judicial philosophy. Parliament Lament Mark Schmitt Shed no tears for GOP moderates; but once they go, we'll be in a new and even more polarized world.

Reich Culture & Books Accidental Tourists Marie Cocco The Road to Guantanamo, an unflinching dramatization of the case of Britain's Tipton Three, depicts degradation just for degradation's sake. How the War Was Lost Stephen Holmes Cobra II is unflinching military history -- and the best brief against Donald Rumsfeld yet produced. Not So Fast Michael Tomasky Peter Beinart's The Good Fight is a pretty solid history, if you assume that history ends in the spring of 2003. Truth in Capitalism Robert Kuttner John C. Bogle is that rare credible insider who knows how the game is rigged and is willing to write it up.
