  1. Moving up the CIA ladder

    CIA Director John Brennan is reportedly considering promoting an official who ran an overseas "black site" where suspected terrorists were interrogated and who was involved in the decision to destroy videotapes of waterboarding. It's an outrageous idea. Installing that official as head of the agency's National Clandestine Service would undermine the Obama administration's insistence that it has repudiated the abuses of the George W. Bush administration's war on terror.

  4. Mail Call - March 19

    “Here’s the biggest fable of the USA: Christopher Columbus discovered America. He never set foot on American soil. He found the Bahamas, and last I looked, the Bahamas wasn’t part of the U.S. So why is he getting credit? Now, 400 years...

  7. Keep the drone debate alive

    Arianna Huffington
    It's become accepted wisdom that Washington has become pathologically polarized and partisan, with every new debate inevitably breaking down along party lines. That's why it was so remarkable last week when Rand Paul's old-fashioned talking filibuster...
