It’s like Sen. Barack Obama is thinking out loud during the general election. He says one thing, takes some heat, clarifies his position, bounces around it some more, then when all else fails declares talk of it to be a “distraction.” It hasn’t been a month and Obama’s said two distinctly different things about how […]
Sen. John McCain’s advisor Charlie Black gets caught for being a little too straight with his straight talk:
But he starts by deftly turning the economy into a national security issue - and why not? On national security McCain wins. We saw how that might play out early in the campaign, when one good scare, one […]
Ilya Somin has an interesting take on how a Democratic Congress will deal with the Boumediene ruling:
Importantly, the Court does leave Congress a way out. If it wants to, Congress could still strip detainees of the protection they get under Boumediene by enacting a statute suspending the writ of habeas corpus under the Suspension Clause. […]
Let’s not hyperventilate about the importance of Robert Malley removing himself (or getting pushed) from Sen. Obama’s campaign. He was on an advisory committee along with a host of other people. Most have very little contact with the daily functions of the campaign. It’s like Eugene Volokh and Orin Kerr on Sen. McCain’s Justice Advisory […]
it’s vintage, duh:
Equating real domestic terrorism to having a simple policy difference is a variation on a theme for the left. To them, policy differences and conservative politics are indistinguishable from criminal offenses.
Gateway Pundit:
Barack Obama throws his “friend” Tom Coburn under the bus with his white grandmother.
Bookworm:
But what Obama also said is that, to the […]
Reps. Peter King (R-NY) and Vito Fossella (R-NY) are trying to bypass the House Democratic leadership by organizing a discharge petition to bring the FISA modernization bill to the floor for a vote.
All that’s needed is a majority of House members to sign it. But since the Republicans are a minority they need some Democrats […]
I bet you didn’t realize that right now the federal government has it hands tied and can’t use all the tools available to follow terrorist chatter. Intelligence agencies are being stymied in monitoring foreign communications that pass through the U.S. That’s because the House of Representatives led by Speaker Nancy Pelosi refused to vote on […]
The CIA has drowned the use of waterboarding in terrorist interrogations:
The controversial interrogation technique known as water-boarding, in which a suspect has water poured over his mouth and nose to stimulate a drowning reflex, has been banned by CIA director Gen. Michael Hayden, current and former CIA officials tell ABCNews.com. (Image above is an ABC […]
Arianna Huffington knows how to build and market a website. The Huffington Post’s success proves that. That doesn’t mean she’s the clearest thinker. She had to weigh into the Sen. Craig bathroom affair and seriously wonders, “In the Age of Terror, Isn’t Busting Toe-Tappers an Insane Use of Our Law Enforcement Resources?” Her assumption is […]
Despite being the poster-boy of all that President Bush has supposedly done wrong in the Islamist War Jose Padilla has been found guilty on three terrorism counts. Michelle Malkin has plenty of material, and memeorandum offer more blogospheric commentary.

Was it responsible for Steven Levitt, Freakonomist, to ask readers what they thought would be really good ways to terrorize Americans? Michelle Malkin and many of her commenters don’t think so. Malkin writes,
I’m less concerned that terrorists will get ideas from the Freakonomics author’s blog than I am about the message Levitt’s flippancy sends.
We are […]
Dear Rep. Ron Paul,
I think you owe Rudy Giuliani an apology. It seems Islamist terrorist aren’t attacking the West (including the U.S.) because of its foreign policy. Here’s Hassan Butt a former Islamist terrorist:
When I was still a member of what is probably best termed the British Jihadi Network, a series of semi-autonomous British […]
A Gordon Brown U.K. government is quite a change from a Tony Blair one, and it’s not a change for the better. Brown has ordered his ministers to not mention “Muslim” in the same breath as “terrorist:”
Gordon Brown has banned ministers from using the word “Muslim” in connection with the terrorism crisis.
The Prime Minister has […]
Add another doctor to the list of suspect in the U.K. car bombings:
Authorities now say three doctors are among the seven suspects arrested in wake of the failed London car bombings and fiery crash at Glasgow airport, Sky News reports.
An eighth suspect was apprehended Monday evening, the latest in the terror sweep, but authorities would […]
U.K. bomb disposal experts blew up two objects near the hospital where one of the terrorists who attacked the Glasgow airport was being treated:
A CNN crew stationed at the the Royal Alexandra Hospital in the Paisley area of the Scottish city heard two blasts, which occurred about an hour after a bomb disposal truck was […]
