2007-11-06 14:11  Proposed expansion of EU terrorism law a threat to freedom of expression
It must be asked why the welcome proposals on "practical action to stem the use of explosives" have taken so long to be put forward The Commission should focus on practical steps to improve cooperation between the Member States instead of trying to impose sweeping restrictions on freedom of expression.

2007-10-15 12:53  Terrorism and civil liberty: Is torture ever justified
Have the terrorist attacks of September 11th 2001 put a lasting dent in civil liberties In every war, information is a weapon. In a œwar against terrorism �, where the adversary wears no uniform and hides among the civilian population, information can matter even more. But does that mean that torture can sometimes be justified to extract information The answer in international law is categorical: no. As laid down in treaties such as the Geneva Conventions, the UN Convention against Torture and t …

The ultranationalists, led by head of the liberal union Vladimir Zhirinovsky, the corrupt, homophobic, billionaire Moscow Mayor Yuri Lushzkov and leftist, the so-called "Black General" Albert Makashov, as well as the head of the Communist Party in Russia Gennady Zyuganov are behind the crackdown on democracies, even inside the country. They dream of restoring the Soviet Union to all its crumbling, dysfunctional glory. They dream of seeing the United States under a red flag (seriously). -- Tsotne …

These are what are known in the language of intelligence and counter intelligence …

Psychologist Linda Woolf, one of the co-authors of the American Psychological Association's 2006 Resolution Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman, or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, has written a detailed and devastating critique of the APA's actions at its 2007 convention.

2007-08-31 03:35  The Last Stand of Rowan
Jordan Hylden, a former junior fellow at First Things, and now a graduate student at Duke Divinity School, has a post about the near term furure of the Anglican Communion at the First Things blog. As would be expected from the source, Hylden has a fairly orthodox view of what might happen--and how a schism could be averted. Nonetheless, his essay is thoughtful and well worth reading: As has been reported by the press, the Episcopal bishops last spring were given three requests and a deadline by …

I grew up a Georgia Baptist. From the age of 6 until a Black Thursday fourteen years later, I proudly considered myself a Georgia Baptist. By my teenage years, I had already made my hajj to Maranatha and Koinonia. The writings of Walter Shurden offered historical context to the fundamentalism that I continued to experience in both of my childhood churches. I knew that I was a different kind of Baptist. A "moderate" Baptist living in the oh-too conservative south Georgia. Such is not the best env …

After all Israel has just released over 250 Fatah terrorists, is giving them 1,000 rifles and and over $360,000,000. That's one hell of a lot of zeros (I am referring to Peres and Olmert as well as the money).

Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord. (John 20:19-20) The joy and peace of Easter cannot be separated from the marks of the nails still apparent on the Lord s Risen Body.
