My liberal friend is a headline reader. That’s why we had a ridiculous conversation in which he wondered about the Fort Hood shooter’s motives. To the reader who scans, headlines that say “motives a mystery” trump even those articles that add, under the headline, little facts such as Muslim death cries (”Allahu Akbar!”), radical mosques, [...]

Britain’s Telegraph has three interesting articles, and the London Times one:
Read about the vast difference between Britain’s and France’s socialized medicine. I’d certainly like to know what accounts for the difference before I start making changes to the American system. Color me skeptical, but I bet Obama, who shows himself to be remarkably [...]

WARNING: British bloggers — do not write about this story.
In England, a convoluted case played out in which the government froze funds in British banks that were to be sent to Al Qaeda, the funds’ owners challenged that action, and the court held against the government. As a result of this successful court [...]

Niall Ferguson, whose book Empire: The Rise and Demise of the British World Order and the Lessons for Global Power was an excellent primer about the virtues of the British Empire (a tough argument in an anti-imperialist age), has written a rave review about Philip Bobbit’s newest book, Terror and Consent : The Wars [...]

I will never again complain about having to throw away my unfinished drink before going through airport security:
A gang of alleged British Muslim fanatics plotted to cause “carnage on an almost unprecedented scale” with simultaneous suicide bombings on up to 18 transatlantic airliners, a court has heard.
Bombs made from hydrogen peroxide liquid explosives, and disguised [...]

Dr. Rusty Shackleford has carefully examined the “new” Bin Laden video that Al Qaeda released on the War’s 5th anniversary and he concludes that Bin Laden’s voice is coming from the grave. You can see the video and Rusty’s analysis here. If this is indeed the best Al Qaeda has to offer, I too think [...]
