Political Correctness Kills?
No. My buddy Ron Smith has a column with the headline: “Fort Hood massacre shows how political correctness can kill.” (just for record, columnists don’t write headlines.) I’m not a fan of political correctness (though I like being polite) and don’t consider myself very politically correct (though I try and be considerate). But I’m pretty certain that political correctness does…
Marine reservist attacks Greek priest
Why? Because marine reservist Jasen Bruce said he “looked like a terrorist.” He doesn’t. He looks like a Greek priest. Why? Because Bruce said he tried to rob him. He didn’t. He’s a priest. Why?

NYPD Confidential
Leonard Levitt writes a good column. He has some harsh words for the NYPD Intelligence Division and the recent NYPD/FBI/terrorism case. The Intelligence Division under Cohen and his crony, Assistant Commissioner Larry Sanchez, is operating as a mini-CIA with no accountability and with no model to guide it. Now it appears that these lone wolves appear to have mishandled the…
Ohhhh….
I couldn’t figure out this the whole let-the-terrorist-go thing the Brits did. I think the New York Times may cut to the chase: Colonel Qaddafi made his remarks as British and Scottish officials were doing their best to distance themselves from Mr. Megrahi’s release, which they insisted was decided without any pressure from London by Scotland’s justice secretary, and based…
Good job, FBI & NYPD
Plot foiled. The story in the Post.
