hart stuff

a few issues gleaned from gary hart's book tv talk:

classifying one document costs $462.

90% of the world's executions take place in just 4 countries: china, north korea, iran, and the good ol' usa.

by the late 1990s and until 2001, fema was the best-run agency in government.

the hart-rudman commission on national security did a 2½-year study and in january 2001 made recommendations to the incoming bush administration on methods to deal with terrorism. the white house turned it over to fema, then began to gut the agency.
