So, about Tuesday. Yeah, there was definitely a security breach of some sort. Heads are going to roll. And that should be the story. Not the crashers-who-shall-not-be-named. I was walking from a parking garage on I Street to the White House – three and a half blocks, tops – and on the way there this [...]

It begins … again
Now is the time – with Navy SEALs facing a court-martial, and with Khalid Sheikh Mohammed to face trial in New York – for the familiar name calling to begin. The rule of law is the rule of law, and the laws of war are just that. These are the laws that keep us civilized [...]
