...Maximum-Security Manger Like Jamil Hamad, I too bemoan the changes that have transformed Bethlehem [Dec. 31, 2007-Jan. 7, 2008]. I do so as a former Israeli soldier who had the honor of guarding the Church of the Nativity in the mid-1980s. But I take issue with a number of Hamad's insinuations. He was critical of the security checkpoints, but since the city is no longer under Israeli control, why should the crossing into Israel be different from that between the U.S. and Canada, for instance?

...Simon's progressive politics, The Wire betrays a kind of small-c conservative nostalgia for hard work and honor, for shoe-leather police work, for reporters who pound the pavement, even for criminals who try to follow some kind of code. The Wire offers a bird's-eye critique of society, but it doesn't look down on individuals. Its heroes are flawed, fated people who try even without hope, who teach kids with horrid home lives, who try to kick unshakable addictions, who do the hard labor of investigations even when their bosses punish them...
