The FBI last week arrested former University of South Florida professor Sami Al-Arian -- finally. Al-Arian got in trouble more than a year ago after appearing on Fox News Channel's "The O'Reilly Factor." O'Reilly confronted Al-Arian with statements he was videotaped making: "Let us damn America. Let us damn Israel (and) their allies until their […]

Mark Steyn is hilarious.

Permanent Security Council member Russia (Reporters Without Borders rank: 121st) is demonstrating that its totalitarianism isn't all in the past.

The Jerusalem Post has a first-person article [free registration required] by Iraqi dissident Amir Taheri about his experiences at last week's "spontaneous" anti-war protest in London.

No. New York Times columnist Paul Krugman reveals to the benighted readers of The New York Times that the American media is less critical of war in Iraq than those in Europe. Yeah, well that's like saying that Dianne Feinstein is less liberal than Barbara Boxer. It's true -- but it's not a "Great Divide." […]
