...Those seemingly contradictory conclusions are part of the results of the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal and Ovarian Cancer Screening trial (PLCO), a sweeping, 17-year project conducted by the National Cancer Institute (NCI). The prostate findings were published online on March 18 in the New England Journal of Medicine, and while they may leave many men scratching their head, they do offer some valuable information about the benefit of screening.

...fact, frustrated that we've civilized ourselves out of really satisfying scapegoat rituals: The ancients would have staged a mass immolation of the AIG casino pigs in their private jets or crucified Bernie Madoff on the 18th hole at the Palm Beach Country Club, preceded by a public show trial with Jon Stewart as chief magistrate. You probably need an over-the-top catharsis or two like that to get the popular rage under control. As it is, guilt and anger are being splashed about chaotically and inefficiently--and people like Barack Obama, who had nothing...
...about what was going on in Virginia, which appeared to contradict his earlier statement that the Florida prosecutors didn't want their Virginia colleagues to subpoena al-Arian. "There was no collaboration between Florida and Virginia," he said.

...More than three years after the conclusion of al-Arian's trial, his legal saga drags on. After spending most of that time behind bars, he is now under house arrest at his daughter's home in Virginia. But a U.S. district judge in Alexandria, Va., Leonie Brinkema, may be putting the brakes on al-Arian's ordeal, and is questioning the Justice Department's tactics in prolonging it. "I think there's something more important here," Brinkema said during a hearing last week, "and that's the integrity of the Justice Department...
...Brinkema presided over the 2006 trial and conviction of 9/11 conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui. When the jury in that case sentenced Moussaoui to life in prison instead of death, Brinkema told him he would "die with a whimper" behind bars. U.S. prosecutors could have sent Sami al-Arian out of the country in disgrace three years ago. Instead, they seem to have turned a man who has rooted for suicide bombers into a man many justice advocates are rooting...
