It Gets Worse
One wonders how out of it NRO can get, and then one reads this from Victor Davis Hanson:FISA and wire-intercepts of terrorist communications in the pre-Obama president months were once derided as more of Ashcroft-Bush stomping on the Constitution except that now ABC News reports that, in fact, US ...

Abortion And Torture
A reader writes:You wrote today regarding torture, "I should confess that behind my passion on this subject is a core religious conviction - that all human beings have dignity in the eyes of God and that treating any human being in this way is an absolute moral evil." What about the abor ...

Chem Warfare
Armchair Generalist's preliminary thoughts on the new WMD report:I need to read this more in depth before commenting more, but I can't get over the deliberate lack of mention of chemical terrorism.

Jonah's Latest, Ctd.
Goldberg sets up more straw-men in an additional post on Mormons and prop 8: If opposition to gay marriage is morally indistinguishable from Jim Crow racism, anti-Semitism and the like (as so many of you say), why on earth aren't you screaming bloody murder at Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Hillary Clinto ...

Cue The Music From Jaws
She has not gone away:We had John McCain and Mike Huckabee and Gov. Romney and Rudy Giuliani, but Sarah Palin came in on the last day, did a fly-around and, man, she was dynamite, Chambliss said.

The Georgia Runoff
Marc provides a guide to its meaning: Should Republicans have reason to crow about their chances in 2010? On the one hand, there's no Bush on the ticket. Ok, there might be one, but he'll be in Florida, and besides, he's not THAT Bush. Two: the Democrats are in charge, and Republicans will have some ...

After We Leave
Thomas P.M. Barnett weighs in:...as the drawdown in Iraq unfolds, we will begin to see whether or not the surge really ended the internal violence or just delayed it inevitable final spasms.

Seeing Ghosts
Vaughan Bell examines grief hallucinations:Mourning seems to be a time when hallucinations are particularly common, to the point where feeling the presence of the deceased is the norm rather than the exception. One study, by the researcher Agneta Grimby at the University of Goteborg, found that over ...

The GOP Rebounds?
Nate Silver analyzes Chambliss's victory:...while proportionately lower black turnout tells part of the story, Chambliss also appeared to gain with white voters.In certain ways, this is an awkward time for a Democrat to be running for office.

The Party Of God
Reihan responds to both Ramesh Ponnuru and Rod Dreher:Both agree that upper-middle-class soft libertarians are not the ducks Republicans should be hunting.

Obama Is A Start
But, as his supporters like yours truly have long insisted, he is no panacea in foreign policy. Alex Massie questions the limits of a renewed US-European relationship:It would be lovely to think that Obama can bring a new period of transatlantic harmony.

A Catholic Takes A Stand
In the debate over torture and prisoner abuse as government policy, the resistance of so many in the military, CIA, FBI and elsewhere in the government to the war crimes of the Bush administration has been an inspiration. One of the more inspiring figures to me is Darren Vandeveld. Vandeveld is a de ...

The NYT And The T-Word
The front-page piece in the NYT today on Obama's thorny task in staffing the CIA, after seven years of its violation of the Geneva Conventions, is revealing in many ways. Like many in the MSM, the NYT cannot bring itself to describe the techniques that the CIA has used as "torture." And ye ...
