In several wire stories about the capture of a British Islamic terror cell planning attacks in the UK, neither the words “Islam” nor “Muslim” are anywhere to be found. Maybe they were Scientologists?

The Iraqi constitution has been adopted, and naturally the Associated Press fills three quarters of their openly negative article with reports of bombings and violent deaths.

What the hell is wrong with CBS News? You’re not going to believe their headline on a story about the Islamist riots in Uzbekistan: U.S. Ally Fires On Its People. (Hat tip: Steven Den Beste.) Because after all, that is the kind of thing that US allies do, isn’t it?

Never fear! The unelected bureaucrats of the European Union are making plans to save America from itself, by launching the EUroweenie version of the Marshall Plan—a student exchange program to instill European values (such as appeasement, antisemitism, and a predilection for totalitarianism) in American students: Saving student Ryan.

The politicians who grilled Condoleezza Rice about reconciliation with Iran are the personification of Lenin’s “useful idiots.” Here’s a good look at the thinking of the mullahs, in an article from the Tehran Times; these are the people Sen.

Remember how, before the election, the price of gasoline seemed to be on a scary, precipitous climb to the heavens, with no summit in sight?

Steven doesn’t want pity and he’ll get none from me. But I hope he’ll forgive me for saying: Merry Christmas, and thank you for your work. You made a real difference in many people’s lives at a time when we needed it. Thank You, Steven Den Beste.

In Britain’s Telegraph, Adam Nicholson laments the slaughter of innocents in Beslan, managing to write a flowery, weepy in-depth article without mentioning a single important fact about the perpetrators of the atrocity. It’s as if all those people died in an earthquake; the word “kill” does not even appear: Beslan ...

Robert Kagan puts words to the misgivings I (and many others) feel about what’s been happening in Fallujah and Najaf: Lowering Our Sights. That is what President Bush has been saying all along. But Bush himself is the great mystery in this mounting debacle. His commitment to stay the course in ...

Steven Den Beste makes some good points (and one with which I will take issue below) in this essay on what happened in Fallujah and what our response should be. Now, in Falluja, we have seen another operation consistent with the doctrine of terrorism, only this time the US was the ...

Well, here they are, what you’ve been waiting for; the texts of the Fatah, Hamas and Islamic Jihad truce declarations. (Hat tip: Steven Den Beste.)

Congrats to Steven Den Beste on his article at the Wall Street Journal Online: The Digital Warrior, about the revolutionary advancements being made in US warfare technology. (Uh, I hate to nitpick ... but it’s too bad the first sentence contains a typo...)
