Tugging on Superman’s Cape

Guess who decided to pick a fight with Mark Steyn? I don’t often respond to Conor Friedersdorf, usually because it would require me to read him . . .

The equipment that we found is all equipment that we have regularly allowed into the strip over […]

Associated Press: Bias? What Bias?

Strictly neutral and objective: Israeli naval commandos stormed a flotilla of ships carrying aid and hundreds of pro-Palestinian activists to the blockaded Gaza Strip on Monday, killing nine passengers in a botched raid that provoked international outrage and a diplomatic crisis. Dozens of activists and six Israeli soldiers were wounded in the bloody predawn confrontation […]

Hellfire Missile 1, Shaikh Sa’id al-Masri 0
