It’s clear that the continued prevalence of this type headline this late in November proves that the terrorists are now trying to influence the recounts. Having won the election, they now want to beat the recount in GA-12, and where was that other one? It’s clear that the only way to get them to [...]
A byproduct of the Gates nomination was my stumbling across this interview, that really makes me wonder if Jimmy Carter was such a great guy after all, and makes a few more things I wouldn’t put past our own government. 1998 interview with Carter’s NSA, Zbigniew Brzezinski, translated from French:
Q: Despite this risk, you were [...]
“Cease fire, friendlies, I am Pat (expletive) Tillman, damn it!” the NFL star shouted, again and again.
How do we know this? I am not questioning that just to be a jerk. I would really like to know who reported that Tillman was screaming to identify himself. Surely not the guys who were shooting at him. Maybe [...]
An intelligent, skeptical American would no doubt scoff at the thought that what has happened since 9/11 could presage the destruction of a centuries-old constitution; but then, I suppose, an intelligent, skeptical Roman in 68 B.C. might well have done the same.
It may be that the Roman republic was doomed in any case. But the disproportionate [...]
… but the declassified documents (PDF) make it look like a conspiracy fact. Via Reality Me, the Joint Chiefs of Staff and other high-level kooks in the government really planned – and recommended their plan to JFK and McNamara – to fake a pretext for war with Cuba, including ideas for faking terrorists attacks against the [...]

I had hoped that you would acknowledge the failures of the overall strategy and specific tactics the President and Pentagon have adopted so far in Iraq, and reassure not only [...]
A couple more notes on the big decision from yesterday.
Normally I don’t read Eugene “Public Torture is Desirable” Volokh at all… Because I prefer my legal ‘experts’ to have shred of moral fiber somewhere in their body. But folks have been a’linkin’ to his posts about yesterday’s historic verdict holding law-breaking to be illegal… so [...]
I really don’t like writing about the whole Israel/Hezbollah thing. It’s too difficult for my small brain. But, I can’t help commenting when I chance upon dumb stuff – that even I can see is dumb – written by a premiere right-wing blog. Especially when that dumb comes alongside some pretty sorry ethical [...]
I sometimes have a bad habit of being optimistic, and I guess this is one of those times. Tim F., the Balloon Juice lefty is not a Middle East Expert, so it must be that his analysis leaves room for optimism, and that it is apparently consistent with the facts as they have been related [...]
