[For a shorter analysis, click here.]
Forget bipartisanship. Forget the ability to protect our citizens from terrorists.
Some activists have revenge in mind… unprecedented attacks on former officials and citizens who assisted the government.
They plan to create a whole new legal minefield which can be used to hound anyone whom they dislike. Even if you [...]

In August, an Al Qaeda’s plot to simultaneously destroy numerous transatlantic airliners with liquid explosives was thwarted. The plot reportedly involved the use of liquid explosives and other components to be assembled on-board into a bomb, which would then be detonated in-flight.
Many have argued that the new security measures attempt to protect against a non-existent [...]

The arguments against coercive interrogation are so absurd that some of their famous promoters are either treasonably dishonest or dumb as rocks. I keep running into:
“…the danger that our enemies will not treat our troops well.”
John McCain should know better. The only opponent of consequence we have fought who sort-of paid attention to the Geneva [...]

Election
Iraq has just completed a remarkable election. Iraqis showed a strong desire for democracy, with a large percentage risking their lives and that of their families to vote.

Most Americans felt that the World Trade Center should be replaced with a defiant symbol – the same structure or more – representing America’s refusal to be cowed by cowards.
But that isn’t what’s happening. Mary Hart reports that a much more wimpy, artsy-fartsy approach is being taken.

While the media has ignored it, Cuba has the third largest biotechnology industry in the world, making it a significant potential biological warfare threat. It also has a highly dangerous leader. During the Cuban Missile Crisis, Fidel Castro tried to persuade the Russians to launch Cuban-based nuclear-armed missiles at the United States [note 1]. [...]

Fox News will read it’s own list next weekend, in response to Ted Koppel’s disgusting climbing on the coffins of those killed in the Iraq theater of battle. Koppel’s actions were clearly meant to delegitimatize that war, by showing only its cost in lives, not showing the cost of Afghanistan, and not mentioning any [...]

It has been clear to those who pay attention that the purpose of the 9-11 commission is political theater, not improving our security. Otherwise it wouldn’t be forcing Condi Rice to testify in public when she has done so in private; it wouldn’t be holding its hearings and releasing its report during the presidential election [...]
