Well, I went over to the sewer of American left political thought to see if Kos was happy to see Nick Berg -- a mercenary according to Kos' worldview -- dead. It turns out Kos isn't happy Berg is dead -- a definite improvement. Maybe the uproar over his "screw them" comment has taught him […]
Paul Krugman is at it again, with a column full of distortions and half-truths. Just trust us, John Ashcroft said, as he demanded that Congress pass the Patriot Act, no questions asked. After two and a half years, during which he arrested and secretly detained more than a thousand people, Mr. Ashcroft has yet to […]
After what we saw with the Taliban, it should come as no surprise that when Muslims are in power they're not as tolerant as they demand others to be when they're in the minority.

Gauging the truthfulness of Gorelick's account is reasonably easy -- she […]
Israeli helicopter gunships have killed another Hamas leader/terrorist, Dr. Abdel-Aziz al-Rantissi.
Both The Wall Street Journal and the New York Post editorialize against 9/11 commissioner Jamie Gorelick's continued participation in the panel. Wednesday's most outrageous comment came from the Republican 9/11 chairman Tom Kean.
