		<description><![CDATA[Forget the arguments about whether water boarding is torture. The Guardian has now uncovered irrefutable evidence of full-scale torture during the Iraq War, conducted by Americans under the direct orders of Donald Rumsfeld. The story also implicates General Petraeus. The Guardian/BBC Arabic investigation was sparked by the release of classified US military logs on WikiLeaks that [...]]]></description>

The issue is whether taking DNA from someone who has not been convicted of a crime is a violation of that person&#8217;s constitutional right to privacy, to bodily integrity. You would think that a committed civil libertarian would be opposed to [...]]]></description>

A lot of folks&#8211;especially younger people&#8211;shrug off the suggestion that they need to follow what our political class is doing.

		<description><![CDATA[The criminal justice system is charged with protecting society from those who pose a threat to the public order. Too often, unfortunately, those in charge forget that basic purpose, and the result is anything but just. The local case of Bei Bei Shai is a horrifying example. The facts are simple: Bei Bei, a Chinese [...]]]></description>

In my opinion, whatever happened between George Zimmerman and Trayvon immediately before Zimmerman shot him&#8211;whether there was an altercation or not&#8211; is legally and morally irrelevant to the question of guilt; when Zimmerman intentionally ignored the [...]]]></description>

It is painful to watch what has become of the Grand Old Party&#8211;and even more painful to see what it&#8217;s doing to the country. Neil Pierce&#8217;s current column is yet another example.  As he reports, &#8220;There’s [...]]]></description>
