Mikey Weinstein is a very specific kind of gadfly. When he believes that church and state are intermingling in the military, he goes in with a sting. On Friday, he hit a bull's-eye when the Inspector General's office of the Department of Defense released a report concluding that a former Pentagon chaplain and several generals inappropriately loaned the prestige of their positions - and that of the Pentagon and the U.S. government - to make a fundraising film for a non-governmental evangelical group, the so-called Christian Embassy. The report identified Christian Embassy as affiliated with the group...

As a direct result of the outrage from citizens and tourists, Barcelona's city council passed a resolution opposing bullfighting. The picture of the young bullfighter and the young bull shows one being who has the choice of participating and another that has no choice...

"I went into that court expecting to be convinced those two men were guilty; I emerged thinking it was a cock and bull story." Like some other family members, he is calling for an independent inquiry - not just into the Megrahi conviction, but into the attack itself and all the investigative and judicial tangles that followed.
