...Obama's victory represents not only a change in the economic order but also the primacy of some fundamental freedoms. It has been our "conservative" party, the supposed champion of liberty, that curtailed the right of habeas corpus, the right to enter into a lifelong relationship with a chosen partner and the right not to be subjected to unwarranted surveillance from our government. Bill Brownson, Woodland, Calif...
...college student planning to enter the health-care field, I applaud "America's Health Checkup" [Dec. 1].

...attacks are part of a global wave of terror, which Israel is quite familiar with," Barak said. But India declined the assistance. Some Israeli officials voiced criticism over the way that Indian forces immediately began firing at the gunmen, rather than gathering intelligence on their adversary, or attempting to enter into negotiations with them first. Meanwhile, in India, rumors circulated that the Israelis had indeed been part of the rescue operation, a notion that may have been kick-started by the combination of Israelis staying at the Chabad house and the presence of foreign agents belonging to a security firm...
