"We're more than a hundred years behind terrestrial conservation," says Nelson. And there's still a lot of ground to make up.

"Federal courts should not thrust themselves into the extraordinary role of reviewing the military's conduct of active hostilities overseas, second-guessing the military's determination as to which captured aliens as part of such...

Early on Sunday in the Sajaiya neighborhood on the eastern outskirts of Gaza City, two Israeli privates from the Golani Infantry Brigade were briefly detained by Hamas militants who apparently surprised them from behind by popping up through a tunnel.
