New at Reason

An internal race serves as GOP tea leaves, childish excuses for the info the prez retrieves, and weighing the value of an air strike against the Pakistanis it peeves—in the new Reason Express.

If the Mid-Easterners (from whatever country they end up coming from) killed 18 innocent people in order to kill 4-5 CIA agents in Turkey, would that make them terrorists?

Doesn't the US doing the same in Pakistan make us the terrorists?

When shooting off my mouth in another thread, I was not aware that there were 4 or 5 al qaeda members killed in the strike.

That may or may not have ramifications for what I said, but I feel that I should acknowledge facts that I was not aware of. I may or may not change my conclusions, but in the face of new information I certainly need to think.

Anybody who considers it a bad idea to think when you get new information is invited to go shove it. Or explain to everybody what I think. It seems to be all the rage, with one guy calling me an uber-militarist in a different thread, and people in another thread implying that I don't take national security seriously.

Bad link, Julian.

Bad link, Julian.

Probably should be to http://www.reason.com/re/011806.shtml, since it is, after all, 2006. :-)

Dammit. I used to always write the wrong year on my grammar-school homework for most of January too. Fixed.

The potential for serious abuse of this standard should be obvious. If not, maybe Bush partisans should imagine Hillary Clinton wielding that power.

what?? hillary a democrat abuse power...but joe tells me that is impossible.

The phone taps are pretty typical examples of govenment in action, but it would be nifty if someone would look into how that same low signal-to-noise ratio datamining baloney is getting used for air marshal assignments.
