How rabbit hole deep are the politics of torture memos Obama faces? Just ...
(20 Apr 2009)
The media is reporting that four former directors of the CIA held up the release of the torture memos -- George Tenet, Michael Hayden, Porter Goss, and John Deutch.
I wish people would just stop and think about these things a little.
Think deeply about this. Really. Stop and think.
Four former CIA heads prevented the president from releasing these memos for about a month.

Some of you people think that Obama is like an elected king and can snap his fingers and make thin...

To all politicians who bray about "eye for an eye" thinking it's about getting...
(29 Apr 2009)
There's a lot of self-important politicians out there that use the principle of "an eye for eye" to justify their support for the death penalty. If you take a life, you lose your life.
But none of them realize that the point of this legal principle was not about INCREASING punishment, but setting a maximum cap on it. Prior to this, if someone stepped on your foot you might go ahead and cut their head off. What would the authorities be able to do you if they could not argue your response far exce...

OZ Politics EBS 2009.
(02 May 2009)
I think it's time to start thinking about the OZ Politics EBS 2009.
Duncan, you did a great job of motivating us to get together last year, and I think you should be the main man for a repeat this year.

British Politics
(09 Jun 2009)
I'm a politics student who has just finished college for the year . And over the next few months a lot of changes are going to happen politically in Britain which I need to discuss with someone or I might just explode. So here it goes.
Today saw election day for both European Government and Local British Councils which is usually a good indicator of the popularity of the major parties in Britain. Today also marks an exact year until a General Election has to be called. But its all going pear-sha...

Esther has done a lot for child protection w...
