...made the wrong decision, it's time to flip-flop. When Kerry's eyes were opened to what was happening in Vietnam, he opposed the war that he had volunteered to fight in. I was taken in by the lies regarding the dangers posed by Iraq. I was in favor of a pre-emptive war to get Saddam Hussein before he used weapons of mass destruction against the U.S. or supplied them to terrorists. I now realize we Americans were deceived by our President and Vice President. There is no virtue in blind, stupid stubbornness (neither mine nor our President...

In 2002, for example, officials withheld information discovered in a sweep of Chechen-trained jihadists planning to bomb the Russian embassy...
...dystrophy is a genetic condition in which muscle can no longer repair the tiny abrasions that come from normal wear and tear, and begins to waste away. The disease mimics an exaggerated form of the stress that highly trained athletes inflict on their muscles. To restore the balance in favor of regeneration, researchers are isolating the myriad growth factors and other biochemical compounds that regulate the musclemaking factory...
