Defense Cites Ambiguities in Evidence Against Padilla
Washington Post: MIAMI, May 18 -- Somewhere in Kandahar, Afghanistan, shortly after the U.S. invasion in the fall of 2001, a man driving a Toyota twin-cab pickup pulled up at a CIA post to deliver thousands of pages of documents. Amid the notebooks and papers, authorities found a document that would become what may be the single most important piece of physical evidence against terrorism suspect Jose Padilla. The five-page "Mujahideen Identification Form" -- basically a personnel application...
For Those Interested in Facts: They Hate Our Foreign Policy
by Scott Horton "There are a lot of things that are different now [that the U.S. occupies Iraq], and one that has gone by almost unnoticed — but it's huge — is that ... we can now remove almost all of our forces from Saudi Arabia. Their presence there over the last 12 years has been a source of enormous difficulty for a friendly government. It's been a huge recruiting device for al-Qaeda. "In fact if you look at bin Laden, one of his principle grievances was the presence of so-called crusader...

Thank you Andrew Sullivan
I know he was irresponsible in the run-up to war, denouncing those of us who don'be believe in the efficacy of government programs such as the military and such, but he's come out in defense of Ron Paul and included the video of Paul explaining the facts of life to Sean Hannity. I think Ron did great in the debate, with Hannity and Wimp Boy and with Wolf Blitzer this afternoon. Stay tuned to the LRC blog for updates.
