...national malaise of immigration policy. As it is, international students are largely bracketed to those who are wealthy enough to afford the cost of attending school in a different country. They are not eligible for federal aid and have to factor in expenses such as travel. As a result, socioeconomic diversity is sorely lacking amongst international students. Visas fees ought not add to the prohibitive barriers for students to study in the U.S. Most worrisome is that these federal regulations place the culture of welcoming international students at stake. As the digits of the fees climb, resentment and anti-American...
...that has now transitioned into a safety issue. The FAA had a mandate from Congress to start running things like a business, to be more cost-effective. That has manifested itself in the rise of runway incursions [airplanes invading each other's ground space]. These are very clearly the result of a reduction in staffing, a decline in experience, and an increase in the use of employee overtime, which leads to increased fatigue. The result is a 300% to 400% increase in operational errors. Listen, this is a great job and I will retire happy. This is not about work...
...prosecutors; the only way you will get a sense of disinterest in the criminal justice system is to have state prosecutors," said Michael Meyers, executive director of the New York Civil Rights Coalition.

Indeed, this week, Hamdan's lawyers will allege "unlawful command influence" over their client's prospective trial. Col. Davis, Guantanamo's former chief prosecutor, is expected to testify that Gordon Englund, the Deputy Secretary of Defense and the Pentagon's second-highest civilian, told him last year, "We need to think about charging some high-value detainees because there could be strategic value before the [November] election." Davis is also expected to repeat, as he has in court filings, that the Defense department's former top lawyer...
...everything to get North Korean dictator Kim Jong Il to come out of his cage. He has tried to coerce him with economic sanctions and schoolboy bluster-a policy course that ended on in the autumn of 2006, when Kim tested a nuclear weapon, precisely the opposite of the result Bush intended. Since then, the Administration has tried bribery, offering blandishments like food and free fuel oil in hopes that in return North Korea would stand down its nuclear program. Kim has responded a bit-his nuclear reactor at Yongbyon, which produced the fissile material for the North's estimated...
