...rights. In a report published last Monday, Edelman outlines what he considers the five basic rights of online advertisers and argues that Google—which commands 72 percent of the online advertising market—systematically violates these rights. In the report, titled “Towards a Bill of Rights for Online Advertisers,” Edelman wrote in support of an advertiser’s right to: “Know where its ads are shown;” “Meaningful itemized billing;” “Use its data as it sees...
...Tuesday, New York Rep. Jerrold Nadler, a Democrat, said Congress should not miss the opportunity to review the act in its entirety. Several liberal Senate Democrats such as Sen. Russ Feingold of Wisconsin and Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois, along with Independent Bernie Sanders of Vermont, have proposed a bill known as the Justice Act, which would curb many of the sweeping powers of the Patriot Act.

Kerry's certainty led to an unexpected thought: Barack Obama may well be having an easier time handling domestic issues than foreign ones. Indeed, he may be headed for the most successful domestic-policy year by a Democratic President since Lyndon Johnson...
...playing its cards tightly on the diplomatic stage. The U.S., after all, has yet to say for sure how much it is willing to cut its own carbon emissions, thanks to the slow movement of the Senate, which still has yet to fully take up a cap-and-trade bill. Both countries will need to do more - much more - if the U.N. climate-change summit in Copenhagen is to be a success, and they'll need to be more straightforward. But as the EDF's Yarnold said in a speech today, "China is no laggard in the race to develop...
