Houston grand jury refuses to indict man for shooting 2 burglars breaking into his neighbors home. Good for the grand jury. If this precedent stands, crime in Texas will drop significantly.

George Bush to reiterates strong dollar policy at G8. Since when has Bush supported a strong dollar? Talk's cheap. Maybe he should take a look at what he's done to the value of the dollar and change his positions from weakening the dollar to strengthening it.

Palestinian uses bulldozer to go on terrorist rampage in Jerusalem. Nobody can negotiate with fanatics like this. Hamas and Hezbollah must be disarmed before any peace process can begin.

The EU sticks it's nose in the health care business, planning to allow cross-border care. Socialized medicine has done enough damage in European countries. This will just add to their woes as patients flee burden the better systems by fleeing the most socialized systems.

What a great article. Reason points out that Obama is defending the right of the people to keep and bear whatever arms the government allows.

Reason goes out of its way to make it sound like it's OK for unlawful enemy combatants to have access to US civil courts. It's funny, but mostly sad, to see the liberal attitude in this argument. These supposed liberals completely ignore the libertarian principle that people are responsible for their actions. In Reason's eyes, these illegal enemy combatants have rights - they didn't forfeit them by attacking the US. Reason also ignore the libertarian principle of incentive. Thanks to this decision, enemy combatants are granted more rights from the US by NOT wearing a uniform than wearing a uniform. They also ignore the reality of precedent. It's easy to pretend that the court extended these rights only to detainees in Guantanamo in the last few years. But that restriction isn't based on any principle, only expediency, so it will be extended by an activist court to any enemy combatant, any time, any where. There's nothing for libertarians to support in this decision.
