• “Allahu Akbar!”≠ Terrorism

  
  Red Tory v.3.0 — Authority: 480
  Ever since the massacre at Fort Hood — within minutes of the shooter’s name being released, it seems — right-wing pundits (most notably those on Fox News, but also the usual suspects on the web and elsewhere) have been aggressively pushing the assertion that Major Nidal Hassan was a self-radicalized ...

• Trying Terrorists in Federal Court

  
  feminist blogs — Authority: 162
  I will write more about this some other day, but I wanted to point Feministe readers to the news (in case you somehow missed it) that 9/11 terror suspects will be tried in domestic courts . This is a major step forward from the days of the Bush administration, when they were sent to Guantanamo and lived in legal ...

• Veterans Day 2009

  
  Unsolicited Opinion — Authority: 121
  On this Veterans Day I am thinking of Pat Tillman and Barack Obama. Pat Tillman is prominent in my thoughts because I am reading Where Men Win Glory , John Krakauer’s story of Tillman’s life and death. Barack Obama looms large because he could possibly strike a blow for real change and real peace but probably ...

  Dennis Kucinnich (of course): “Why is it we have finite resources for health care but unlimited money for war?.... Unlimited money to blow up things in Iraq and Afghanistan, and relatively little money to build things in the US.... Trillions for war and Wall Street, billions for insurance companies... When we ...

• Into the Breach

  
  Unsolicited Opinion — Authority: 121
  Reading accounts of the Fort Hood shootings , I am struck by the immediate and selfless behavior of the soldiers. One sentence particularly caught me attention: Other unarmed soldiers in the area also began to sprint toward the gunfire. They headed toward danger. Unarmed. No matter.

• Modern Economics 101

  
  Unsolicited Opinion — Authority: 121
  In a nutshell : The United States, of course, long ago captured first prize in the global arms race. It now spends as much as the next 14 countries combined, even as the spending of our rogue enemies and former enemies -- Cuba, Iran, Libya, North Korea, Sudan, and Syria -- much in the headlines for their prospective ...

• Bring the troops home.

  
  Iowa Liberal — Authority: 132
  Just imagine if we had a counter-insurgency strategy against gangs, one conceived with as much brainpower and lateral thinking as the military could generate. What if we actually had enough armed forces on watch in our troubled areas to stamp out crime. Not as killers, as peacekeepers. Coupled with the end of the ...
