  An American Lion — Authority: 535
  The White House by Norman Rogers The idea that a supposed “power couple” could just crash a White House function and get that close to the President is beyond comprehension in this day and age.

• A tortured Christmas carol

  
  Can it happen here? — Authority: 133
  Actually, I think the outcome is in the hands of the administration and the Congress would follow strong leadership. But if the people dont repudiate torture, the executive is not going to offer that kind of leadership. This is not a set that stands up for principle unless pushed. So, as we enter the Christmas ...

  BuzzFlash.net: published — Authority: 532
  The article is about the chaos of 9/11 as portrayed by 570,000 text messages. But thats not the real story.

  Dum Spiro Spero — Authority: 115
  He was the principal drafter of the Czech Constitution and a great admirer of the United States. 1938 – 2009 The rules of human conduct are the most difficult to transform because there is the tremendous force of inertia to contend with. Political and legal changes can be modeled on the systems of western ...

  Blog of Mass Destruction — Authority: 127
  Major Nidal Malik Hasan….the Ft. Hood mass shooter…..will, rightfully, be held accountable for his gruesome and insane actions in killing 13 and wounding 30.

  A ‘very reliable source’ pointed me to this story on China Press and translated it to me. It was an exclusive report, quoting ’sources’ in Thai media and the police.It was clearly meant to discredit Dr. Pornthip as the story questioned her credentials. While it is acceptable to quote sources, the story ...
