CNN finally got around to looking into the relationship. What resulted was a report that shows the two have a much longer and deeper relationship than Obama's made it out to be. The question now is will Obama directly answer in-depth questions on the issue? Will Tom Brokaw ask? Don't hold your breath.
It's been seven years since 19 terrorists hijacked airliners and killed thousands of people. Few people would've hoped we wouldn't have suffered another terrorist attack in seven years time. Like him or hate him, only the most blinkered partisan would refuse to give President George W. Bush at least some credit for that record. The […]
The guy who just lives in Obama's neighborhood is an unrepentant lying terrorist. Now he [Bill Ayers] wants you to think they just wanted to break a few dishes. But in his book Fugitive Days, in which he boasts that he "participated in the bombings of New York City Police Headquarters in 1970, of the […]
Israel today traded five terrorists -- including a piece of refuse who killed a father in front of his 4-year-old daughter before bashing her brains in -- for the mutilated bodies of two of its soldiers. This sort of trade virtually guarantees that more of their soldiers will be kidnapped and murdered -- they're rewarding […]
Mary Anastasia O'Grady had an excellent article in yesterday's Wall Street Journal pointing out that last week's rescue of more than a dozen hostages from Colombia's FARC rebels rested on an underlying assumptions about who the rebels friends were. As we learn more about the Colombian military's daring hostage rescue last week, one detail stands […]
John McCain is mad about this ad. The ad is pretty tame, and it's targeted at two North Carolina gubernatorial hopefuls, but the use of Barack Obama and his pastor, the Rev.

My PVR recorded last night's Democrat debate, but I won't have time to watch the whole thing until Thursday night at the earliest. It's been much easier, however, to get the highlights from the various blogs. From some of the liveblogging I've managed to read, it seems to have shocked lots of people on the […]
If you didn't know the context you might think they won a World Cup soccer game. But that's not what they're celebrating with all the cheering, passing out candy and the joyful firing of guns into the air. They're celebrating the murder of eight Jewish seminary students last week. The Palestinians have raised generations in […]
FactCheck.org does some excellent work, but don't be blinded by the "non-partisan" label -- a look at the bios of the group's fact-checkers reveals largely mainstream journalists and academics. There doesn't appear to be the kind of political balance that would work best in producing unbiased fact-checking in white-hot political season. A case in point […]
Alan Dershowitz, the liberal Harvard Law School professor with whom I agree with only on Israel, had an interesting Op-Ed in Monday's Wall Street Journal that raises some questions about what the new "rules" should be in the war against Islamist terrorists. The traditional sharp distinction between soldiers in uniform and civilians in nonmilitary garb […]
