Wednesday, May 30, 2012 Lord Justice Damns Inquiry
Lord Justice Leveson concluded Monday's testimony by Tony Blair with an invitation to write regulations for controlling the press in Great Britain. Talk about inviting the Fox into the chicken coop.

Rupert Murdoch must know he's near the end. His prize media property, the BSkyB pay TV network, dominates the British market.

The Obama White House has hauled out an oldie but goodie from the Bush administration - the Iranian faction called the Quds Force as arch villain. The intent is the same too.

Monday, October 3, 2011 Why the New Security Zone along the Canadian Border? (19 comments)
Why are we seriously beefing up security all along the Canadian border? Has Canada suddenly become a hotbed of virulent anti-American activity?
