A Sickening Story

Powerline "Navy SEALs have secretly captured one of the most wanted terrorists in Iraq -- the alleged mastermind of the murder and mutilation of four Blackwater USA security guards in Fallujah in 2004. And three of the SEALs who captured him are now facing criminal charges...Ahmed Hashim Abed,...told investigators he was punched by his captors -- and he had the bloody lip to prove it. Now, instead of being lauded for bringing to justice a high-value target, three of the SEAL commandos, all enlisted, face assault charges and have retained lawyers."

An Unreasonable Decision; Eric Holder’s defenders substitute their own reasoning for his.

Andrew McCarthy "In the military system, where enemy aliens do not have the full panoply of constitutional rights, a defendant who wants his defense to have the benefit of classified discovery material must accept a military lawyer with a security clearance. We don’t have to give him direct access to national-defense information."

Where Has the Thrill Gone?

By Victor Davis Hanson "Prophets fall harder than normal politicians. When you claim that seas recede and planets cool before your presence, and that Latin mottos, new presidential candidate seals, neo-classical victory trophies, and faux-Greek temple sets are the appropriate backdrops for Your speeches, then you raise the bar a bit high. Obama is not necessarily any more partisan than a Nixon or Reagan or Bush, only just as partisan — but then he claimed something quite different."
