[Drizzten.com] Magnifisyncopathological: They knew that international affairs, the conduct of war, and the protection of Americans from foreign threats stood far beyond the judicial ken. As Supreme Court justice Robert Jackson wrote in 1948, sensitive matters of foreign policy and national security involve "decisions of a kind for which the Judiciary has neither aptitude, facilities nor responsibility and which has long been held to belong in the domain of political power not subject to judicial intrusion or inquiry."
[Generationaldynamics.com] Web Log: There's going to be a major rally in Washington DC on Sunday, led by Clooney and acoalition of 160 religious and political groups, to demand that Bushpress for a stronger multinational force in Darfur. They're hopingthat tens of thousands of people will attend the rally -- we'll haveto see if anything like that happens, or whether only a few thousandwill show up.
[FreeSpeech.com] Colleton County, South Carolina's Finest Cop.: This scorched-earth blitzkrieg, primarily and willfully aimed at civilian targets of all types devastated Lebanon’s major ports, the Beirut International Airport, much of the country’s essential infrastructure including over 70 bridges, dozens of key roads, all the nation’s radars, electrical power plants, 20 or more gas and fuel stations and the Jiyyeh power utility plant south of Beirut spilling about 14,000 metric tons of heavy fuel oil (over one-third the size of the Exxon-Valdez spill) along over 90 miles of Lebanon’s and Syria’s Mediterranean Sea coast posing a serious threat to biodiversity as well as a heightened risk of cancer because this type fuel oil contains benzene which is categorized as a Class 1 carcinogen.
[The Corner on National Review Online] Re: Talking to Syria: For the rest, I'd be willing to cut deals (as we successfully have with Pakistan and Egypt, neither of which is exactly a poster child for parliamentary democracy). But yes, real deals, carrot-and-stick deals, with guaranteed enforcement, not dumb Clintonian or Euro-weenie paper-tiger deals.
Today in Iraq: The discrepancy between the number of killed American soldiers that are officially announced by DoD and CentCom (2544 as of July 10, 2006) and the higher numbers that are claimed by the Iraqi Resistance reports that quote eye witnesses and filmed video clips of IED attacks, one explanation might very well be that there are hundreds who are serving with the American occupation forces who are not American citizens. These freelancers are wearing US military uniforms but aren't really Americans (their families are overseas) so their deaths won't be reported by CentCom.
