...Today, that message took on a notably different focus, one of concern for the future of Lebanon. Short-term, the Bush Administration is worried about a growing humanitarian crisis. Long-term, it fears that unchecked damage done to Lebanon could create a failed state that would pose even more of a threat to Israel...
...have been recruited from the Star Wars cantina of yore, though they have even worse skin problems and are covered with the kind of slime that has recently become fashionable among the villains in fantasy films. They are not very menacing or scary and neither are the threats they pose to Jack and his pals. There's also a whole thing with a giant squid that may put such ancients who attend the senior matinees in mind of Cecil B. DeMille's Reap the Wild Wind (1942).

What acute danger did 15-year-old Omar Khadr pose that warranted his detention with adults? If there is evidence, then put him on trial; otherwise, release him! It is a scandal and just unbelievable that the detainees, who may not be terrorists, do not get a trial, have no rights and have no prospect of the situation changing. How can the world just sit there and watch...
