U.S. law enforcement officials said Thursday that sophisticated military grade explosives had been found in medicine containers being carried by the Algerian national who was nabbed trying to cross into Washington State from Canada with a trunkload full of DIY bomb-making material. And Federal prosecutors announced they'd found a link between Ressam and Lucia Garofalo, the Canadian woman arrested last week trying to cross into Vermont with an Algerian companion.

But combining drugs with behavior therapy seems to benefit kids in ways that drugs alone don't--like enabling them to make friends more easily and even score higher on achievement tests...
...brutality of American life. He sees his warriors as innocent animals, the purity of their violent athletic endeavors under constant threat of corruption by people trying to make a buck off their pain.
