...unusual study published this month, researchers at Harvard Medical School have claimed that the psychiatric disorder known as dissociative amnesia, or repressed memory, is a “culture-bound syndrome,” and has no scientific basis. Their argument is based on the conclusion that no evidence for the existence of repressed memory exists in literature, fiction or non-fiction, before 1800—while other psychological disorders like epilepsy and schizophrenia have been documented since ancient times. Since the onset of their literary quest over a year ago, the researchers at Harvard-affiliated Mclean hospital have promised...

But over the past several months mounting evidence gathered by U.S., NATO and Afghan intelligence agencies indicates that the resurgent Taliban has treated the Pakistan-Afghanistan border as a revolving door: attacking coalition troops in Afghanistan, then retreating to the ungoverned western frontier of Pakistan to regroup and re-equip...

...this a problem? Well, there are only two ways we can judge a candidate. One is experience, which the other front-runners can claim to have, but which Obama proudly declares he does not need in order to realize “that the ways of Washington must change.” The second is personality. Once more, Obama has not yet been generous: By shrouding himself in the breezy fabric of audacious promises and good publicity, Obama has not given us any substance on which to judge...
