Dear Department of Justice and Department of Treasury Officials: We might have just helped you bag another material supporter of terrorism this week! And you'll never believe who the culprit is! We were even able to tape record some of his own damning admissions!...
Andrew Sullivan: I've touched slightly on the term 'Israel-Firster' - a shorthand that has an ugly neo-Nazi provenance, which is why I don't use it… As Justin Raimondo pointed out Monday, that etymology is false: the term was first used no later than 1953 by Alfred M....
I yearn for the day when "I was a full-throated supporter of the Iraq War" is understood — by writer and reader alike — to be a more damning admission than "I took Ecstasy once in college."
I know it's bad form to follow up on my own post so quickly, but I fear that I may have shortchanged the enormity of the assertion that "For an Iraqi, there was no price too high to pay to rid the country of Saddam Hussein." Allow me to riff a bit, with a nod to some...

Monday night's debate reminds me of an insightful analysis from the last campaign. Randy Barnett, Georgetown University law professor and anarchist, wrote the following in The Wall Street Journal in July 2007: While the number of Americans who self-identify as...
Use them now, because Washington Times reporter Eli Lake is moving on up to Newsweek. Lake is the latest Iraq hack and all-purpose neocon instrument to demonstrate the one rule of post-9/11 journalism: there's always work if you're always pro-war. All jokes aside, I'm...
