1. "Terror at the Mall?" One of the better articles I've seen on this topic.
Representative Sample: To combat a swarm of wasps, you don't call up a herd of rhinos. You gather a lot of people with rolled-up newspapers. At this point, our efforts against terror are reactive -- we may well have to endure a mall attack, with casualties possibly reaching the hundreds, before the federal government is forced to rethink its approach. When the time comes, the alternative strategy must be considered.

Representative Sample: the Dems to continue to use unions as a source of political slush funds while we all pay for it
3. "HAS COIN MADE US LOSE FOCUS?" Let's not make a cult out of counterinsurgency.
Representative Sample: Effectively countering the insurgency does not require a dedicated COIN army. It requires a conventionally-trained army doing conventional warfare correctly.
4. "Why Atheists Should Care About The Prop 8 Trial" Makes some good points.

Russia’s MiGs gave it a foothold of its own, and the SPDC regime is also cooperating with Russia to build a nuclear power plant, reportedly a Russian 10-megawatt design
