I saw the above question in the comments section of a post at Althouse, and I believe the answer is “yes.” But the reason I say this may surprise you. It’s not any one action or decision, or even several. … Continue reading →
It appears that a military trial for Khalid Sheikh Mohammed is looking mighty good to the Obama administration right about now. The strange thing is that those legal geniuses, Obama and Holder, didn’t see that to begin with. I’m not … Continue reading →
