Is Cuba a State Sponsor of Terrorism?
Officials in Thailand (after being tipped off by American intelligence officials) recently seized a Georgian-registered aircraft loaded with over 35 tons of North Korean weapons. Where the weapons were bound for is unclear. However, Iran, Sri Lanka, or the African Horn countries would all be good guesses. Counterterrorism Blog’s Douglas Farah reports:
The Thais stopped the [...]
The Case for Universal Care
Forgive me for taking so long to reply to Joseph F. Lydon’s thoughtful and persuasive arguments against a public health care option. I’ve been sidetracked on different projects at both home and office and this is the first chance I’ve had to hammer out my thoughts. Let me start by highlighting the common ground.

Iranian Elections, Human Trafficking, and Setting Terrorists Free
Before I get into the “Fix” this week I’d like to address my recent exclusive interview with Governor Sarah Palin.

It seems that new (but not really new) Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin [...]
Rush Limbaugh Now Officially Runs the GOP

Death to America! Death to the West!
If you’re like me, those phrases kind of bother you when you hear them repeated by large, angry crowds in the Middle East. Not that I expect them to chant about how much they love us, it’s just that I’d prefer not to be mentioned at all. I mean, do they have any idea how [...]
