And his name is Lawrence B. Wilkerson, former chief of staff to Secretary of State Colin Powell. IN PRESIDENT BUSH'S first term, some of the most important decisions about U.S. national security — including vital decisions about postwar Iraq — were made by a secretive, little-known cabal. It was made up of a very small […]
I've tried, largely unsuccessfully, to convince most moderates that I know that today's left is full of nutjob wackos. They may have reservations or misgivings about the war, and they believe that the Code Pinkos, American Friends Service Committee and Interational ANSWER are noble groups just expressing sane, but contrary opinion to those on the […]
The Times also takes the U.N. to task for the sexual abuse of local populations by U.N. peacekeepers. Maybe the Times should have had this issue in mind when Democrats were attempting to stymie the nomination of John Bolton to be the United States ambassador to the U.N.

Travis County prosecutors admitted Friday they lack physical proof of a list of Republican candidates that is at the heart of money-laundering indictments […]
Or rather, when he speaks it is torture. Former Vice President Al Gore said Wednesday he had no intention of ever running for president again, but he said the United States would be "a different country'' if he had won the 2000 election, launching into a scathing attack of the Bush administration. "I have absolutely […]
Travis County, Texas, District Attorney Ronnie Earle today issued a subpoena for various phone records of Rep. Tom Delay (R-Sugar Land), his daughter and his campaign office. I am not a lawyer, but don't you usually gather this sort of evidence before you indict someone? I don't think that DeLay has much to worry about.
