More than 70 people filled the Law School's Langdell Hall for the second annual Alisa Flatow Memorial Lecture, hosted by the Jewish Law Students' Association (JLSA) to commemorate the Brandeis junior who died four years ago in a terrorist attack while visiting the Gaza Strip...
...encouraging sign is that Assad, whose country remains on the State Department's list of terrorist states, is promoting his son as the sort of Syrian leader with whom the world, Israel included, will be able to do business. Bashar talks the language of economics rather than politics, and, until his brother's death, had chosen a career in ophthalmology rather than following his father's path into the army and power...
What's really driving the war machine is not military necessity or strategic calculation or even the fear of terrorist attack. It is the Kremlin's politics of survival. Russia's leaders are waging a war of succession, designed by Kremlin imagemakers to prove to the Russian electorate that Prime Minister Putin, a former KGB lieutenant colonel hastily slapped into office by Yeltsin two months ago, is a real man, capable of leading Russia as President when Yeltsin steps down next year.

Unless a federal court blocks his deportation, accused Saudi terrorist Hani al-Sayegh will be sent back to Riyadh Wednesday. The move comes after Sayegh, a Saudi dissident trained in Iran, stopped cooperating with an FBI probe into the 1996 attack on Khobar Towers in Dahran, Saudi Arabia, in which 19 U.S. military personnel were killed. Of course, going home could be more dangerous than staying in Washington. But the Justice Department...
