...evade arrest, or a peaceful religiously devout Muslim who had forsworn his radical past? Either way, his death last week in a hail of bullets fired by Lebanese police has ignited strong anti-government passions in the impoverished Tebbaneh neighborhood of Tripoli and a backlash of sympathy for a band of Islamic radicals battling Lebanese troops in a Palestinian refugee camp 10 miles to the north...
Until Jesse joined the military, jazz had been one of his main passions. "He was great at improvisation," says Steve Ode, who played trombone alongside Jesse in jazz band through middle school and high school.

Granted, its guest-worker program is the right idea, as long as it doesn't repeat the human rights abuses of the last century's bracero project. Letting 400,000 migrant construction workers, lawn-cutters and other laborers into the U.S. each year, legally and temporarily, is a solid way to turn the border's deadly chaos into a safer and more sensible flow - and let our border cops pursue genuine national security threats instead of Guatemalan...
