Hamdan Given 66 Months, Less Time Served, Plus Life

Wait. A man was sentenced to 66 months in prison, most of which he's already served and then when he gets out he stays in forever? Right. The White House-chosen military panel - not a jury - at Camp Justice at occupied Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, issued a split decision Wednesday in the case of the notorious driver of Osama bin Laden, Salim Hamdan. The panel acquitted him on the original conspiracy charges, but convicted him of material support for terrorism. It was the first "trial" under the...

Time for Radical Reform in California

Looking at the budget crisis, Governor Schwarzenegger has ordered a temporary reduction of the salaries of 200,000 state employees to the minimum wage. This gesture is largely symbolic, for it will probably not last very long. Meanwhile, the governor is scheming to borrow $9.3 billion more in the form of a water bond.

RES. 1370, Calling on the Government of the People's Republic of China to immediately end abuses of the human rights of its citizens Madam Speaker, I rise in opposition to this resolution, which is yet another meaningless but provocative condemnation of China. It is this kind of jingoism that has led to such a low opinion of the United States abroad. Certainly I do not condone human rights abuses, wherever they may occur,...
