I must say that I wasn't surprised to discover that the two U.S. soldiers who were kidnapped last week were found dead yesterday, their bodies mutilated and booby-trapped. Not only were the bodies booby-trapped, but homemade bombs also lined the road leading to the victims, an apparent effort to complicate recovery efforts and target recovery […]
Maybe I shouldn't have been so hard on New York Times columnist Paul Krugman for being a dishonest in many of his columns over the past five years -- he's merely a product of his environment. The Times editorial page is perhaps the most dishonest of any in the nation. I've pointed out before how […]
At least, that's what you'd have to believe if you read Monday's New York Times editorial on the three suicides at the terrorist prison camp at Guantanamo Bay. OpinionJournal.com's James Taranto takes a whack at a portion of the Times editorial. The Times editorial page bemoans the plight of these poor innocent terrorists: [Their suicides […]
I shouldn't be surprised, but the couple of conversations I overheard Thursday in the newsroom regarding the assassination of the head of al Qaeda in Iraq were along the lines those going int the more conspiratorial and insane parts of the left-wing Internet. I heard one comment that Bush had known where Zarqawi was for […]

Some 9/11 conspiracy theorist has sued the Durango (Colo.) Herald for covering-up "what really happened" that day. The nutjob is Judith Pfeif, and she wants to be compensated for all of her research. It is unclear what drugs contributed to her research and whether they are available without a prescription. Get a blog, Judith.
Because a lot of people in the media seem to have forgotten, and far too many Democrat partisans don't seem to care anymore, here's a brief reminder about what we're really talking about when there's a bunch of wailing and gnashing of teeth over the NSA's surveillance programs. I wanted to take a couple of […]
When Bush administration officials pointed to Saddam Hussein's unmanned aerial vehicle program and warned how dangerous it was and how it could be used by terrorists, "smart people" pooh-poohed the claim. Apparently it only took them a few years to realize the threat. It may sound like science fiction, but the prospect that suicide bombers […]
The jury in Alexandria, Va., couldn't come to a unanimous verdict on so-called 20th hijacker Zaccharias Moussaoui, so he will get life without the possibility of parole. I can live with this, but I have just one question: Does this mean he gets put in the general prison population? I know it's generally frowned upon […]
