In 2006, I wrote that " It's a Hollow Feeling This Fourth of July ." Are we any better off this year? We haven't seen much tangible progress, but Bush and Cheney are gone and we do seem to be headed in the right direction, even if we are moving at a snail's pace. So, yes, I'm going to celebrate. But I'm also not going to forget the freedoms we need to protect and defend, not just for our...

President Barack Obama said Thursday he's uneasy about his own proposal to indefinitely imprison some of the most dangerous terror suspects being held now at Guantanamo Bay. He called it "one of the biggest challenges of my administration."

The One... That's what. Accomplishments to date: Guantanamo Bay? Still open, with Bush's Obama's blessing. Indefinite detention? Still in effect, with Bush's Obama's blessing. Don't Ask Don't Tell? Still in effect, with Bush's Obama's blessing. Transparency? Right... Earmarks? Still alive...

I give Charlie Savage of the New York Times credit for reporting on the many ways in which President Obama has continued national security policies of the Bush administration that are inconsistent with basic civil liberties. I get bored with people who say there is no difference. Obama has banned torture completely, for example, and he has shut down all the black prisons. Rendition and state secrets...

President Barack Obama says he's open to the idea of detaining some Guantanamo Bay terror suspects somewhere else for prolonged periods, but it may turn out that he won't be comfortable with any proposals to do that.

The country has moved away from it's core values. There's a commie in the White House who loves terrorists (and may not even be a citizen) and our first response to riots in the streets in Tehran wasn't naked belligerence. Democrats control both chambers of congress and are set on socializing the health care system, handing out your tax dollars to the undeserving, and enshrining abortion and homosexuality...

I don't think it has occurred to the divine ones that the administration now is at odds with the sort of ideology and attitudes Obama himself espoused on the campaign trail. They call for patience and for confidence in Iraq -- and not, in prior Obama-like fashion, dismiss our chances while demanding a strict and rather rapid timetable to get out. They ask for understanding about renditions, tribunals,...

I always found the conservative Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung's feuilleton to be weird compared to the rest of the paper, but this book review (in German) by Edo Reents is beyond weird, i.e. it is outrageous. The book tries to explain why the Dreyfus Affair matters today and is written by the US novelist Louis Begley. The reviewer claims: ". the Bush government, which, inasmuch as it illegally...

'The terrorists lists are our Guantanamo," said Dick Marty, the rapporteur of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (January 2008). The case of PMOI is an eloquent case. The inclusion of this movement is a path filled with hidden political agenda and abuse of power in violation of the rule of law." He added:'Iran justified the hanging of Mujahideen (PMOI), saying they are considered terrorists
