If, for some strange underlying masochistic reason you are deliberately lookng for something which would make you want to lob bricks at the screen then TheEye can oblige. This is a nauseating television clip which perfectly illustrates why lawyers are up there with politicians when the man in the street wonders what to do […]

As we’ve always suspected, what makes up a Weapon of Mass Destruction (which we are continually being told by the BBC weren’t found in Iraq despite the discovery of saarin, mustard gas, and other chemical weapons, and various prison sentences for those who used them in Iraq or those who […]

Remind me again, why can’t we start profiling yet? Both of these spots via Michelle Malkin, but there are already other examples and it is set to get worse before it gets better. Well known military blogger and independent war correspondent Michael Yon reports that he was stopped at Sea-Tac airport […]

Ann Coulter’s column today makes an early and yet strangely powerful bid for the Statin’ The Bleedin’ Obvious Prize of 2010 by noting: For the past eight years, approximately 2 million Americans a day have been subjected to humiliating searches at airport security checkpoints, forced to remove their shoes and […]

From The Spectator tonight and only a brief article so worth reproducing in full. The photograph is of the Detroit bomb. Two of the leaders of the organisation that is claiming responsibility for the attempt to blow up a jet over Detroit were released from Guantanamo in 2007, ABC News […]
