Israel refuses cease fire, continues to take out Hamas. Olmert may be regaining some support.

New al Qaeda video warns of attacks worse than 9/11.

Arabs conduct terror dry run on US plane. This shows how the Homeland Security bureaucracy has made America less safe. We need to significantly reduce the size and scope of government to improve our security.

Iran warns academics about spies. This ought to increase domestic unrest.

US troops raid homes in Sadr City looking for kidnapped Britons.

Turkey threatens Iraqi border over Kurdish terrorists.

Fitzgerald has filed a claim that Plame was covert. Apparently this finding was filed before Plame was exposed for perjury, but the claim is still bogus. Fitzgerald is using that claim in a backdoor attack on Cheney. If Fitzgerald could prove that Plame was covert, he would have charged somebody with outing her, but he knew his claim wouldn't stand up in court. By going this route, the claim can't be challenged, so this is just another aspect of his witch hunt, and the press will run to the ends of the earth with it while ignoring Plame's perjury just like they ignored Wilson's lies.

Boortz comments on Hillary's socialist (he compares it to fascism) ideals. He also says that conservatives champion the individual. I wonder if he slept through the last 6 years as conservatives tried to force their point of view on the rest of us just as rabidly as liberals. Funny cartoon.

Mexicans abuse Miss America. Maybe we should invite 60 more into the country by rewarding the illegal aliens already here with legal status. Or not.

A few of the reasons Bush sucks and Ron Paul rocks.

How Nancy Pelosi promotes Syrian and Iranian terrorism. She loves it. She thinks she looks hot in a burka. That's what Democratic priorities are all about. Republicans suck at fighting the war on terror, but at least they aren't promoting our enemies. That's no reason to vote for either, though. Common ground between Democrats and Republicans:

After three U.S. soldiers were taken prisoner by al Qaida May 12, the Washington Post conducted a telephone interview with reputed al Qaida member Mohamed al-Janabi.

"I can assure you that we will start pressuring Bush in a new way at the same time he is facing pressures from the Democrats," Mr. al-Janabi told the Post.

Democrats such as Ms. Pelosi are not for terrorism and mass murder. But they do have a soft spot for terrorists and mass murderers. Mr. Assad and Mr. Ahmadinejad hate President Bush. So does Nancy Pelosi. So she assumes common ground can be found.

Cato says the World Bank lacks transparency. Did it really take a PhD to figure that out?

Cato updates it's discussion of the fraudulent immigration bill. It's telling that this essay begins by claiming people are unhappy with the status quo. That's a fine way of avoiding the realities of the bill until people are manipulated into the mindset. If our existing laws were being enforced, the status quo would be great - the problem is that our government refuses to enforce the laws against illegal immigrants and their employers. This issue is no more complicated than that, and even Cato is dissembling over it.
