...game for the Rams in the second quarter to replace the concussed Jamie Martin. Down 24-3 at the half to the Houston Texans, he engineered a dramatic second half comeback, which included scoring 10 points in final 30 seconds of regulation.

Until the U.S. begins a withdrawal, it's up to soldiers like those of Blue Platoon to man the bunkers. "After the truck bombing," says Gronski, "every one of them...
...lives does not need to be made. The analogy falsely assumes the subject will reliably give true information, thereby underestimating the motives of the captive. If terrorists willingly martyr themselves to a cause, how could authorities be certain a terrorist would give the correct location of this fictitious time bomb rather than providing a false location long enough to allow the bomb to explode anyway...
