...their own faith” ring a trifle hollow. Anti-Semitism runs deep in today’s Islamic world. But violence, and the rhetoric of religious war, runs still deeper. This, too, we must understand—that however much it may pain the goo-goos and Oprah-watchers to admit, our enemies are Islamic, and their ideology is rooted in Islamic traditions that stretch all the way back to when the first Muslim empires were carved from the Arabian desert...
...there hasn't been much new out of Afghanistan (still waiting for bin Laden to answer those CNN questions). But remember, unless you're a network anchor, a U.S. senator who gets on television a lot, an author who's written a lot about bioterrorism and been on Oprah, or a postal worker who handles suspicious letters without wearing gloves, the odds are very, very small that you may have even come into contact with those virulent spores...

The world was stunned, but Jackson’s eccentricities made him an easy target, and the public turned on him. For the little boy who had only tried to experience childhood by surrounding himself with children, the accusations were devastating. Although Jackson had devoted countless hours and millions of dollars to helping children through his Heal the World foundation, the media was quick to condemn him. Neither...
