Happy 4th, Everyone (really this time)

I agree with Travis agreeing with William Arkin agreeing with Lt. Cmdr. Charles Swift. Hamden v. Rumsfeld will be remembered as one stepping stone among many in America's long path to form a more perfect Union. Hamden may be a rat, but then again he may not. The Supreme Court reminds us that this is America. We don't abide kangaroo courts and secret justice.

I'll toast to that. Happy 230th, America.

Happy 4th, Everyone...

Long before the September 11th attacks, Bill Clinton decided that Osama bin Laden was a threat. Last year, George the Second decided he wasn't worth tracking down, and disbanded the CIA effort to apprehend him. How profoundly depressing.
