It's a fundraising week (please help!), so the highlights aren't on the front page, but don't miss David R. Henderson's latest, "Why Libertarians Should Be Critical of War."

I see my good friend Matt has a response to my latest comment on this blog concerning the Muhammed cartoon brouhaha, and I think it makes the main point of my original piece: that an atmosphere of hatred is being created in which it will seem not at all unusual or...

From Feingold's speech to the US Senate:"The President’s claims of inherent executive authority, and his assertions that the courts have approved this type of activity, are baseless. ... None of the President’s arguments explains or excuses his conduct, or the NSA’s...
