By MB Snow at June 12, 2013 | 10:49 am
By Andrew C. McCarthy -- The notorious “civil rights” lawyer William Kunstler, in addition to his work on “political” cases (i.e., anti-American radical-leftist and terrorist cases), gladly made himself available to mobsters, too — after all, someone had to pay the bills.

By MB Snow at June 12, 2013 | 1:40 am
"Gentlemen do not read each other's mail." That's what Secretary of State Henry Stimson said to explain why he shut down the government's cryptanalysis operations in 1929. Edward Snowden, who leaked National Security Agency surveillance projects to Britain's Guardian, evidently feels the same way.

By MB Snow at June 11, 2013 | 1:05 pm
By Victor Davis Hanson -- All can agree that the Obama administration is mired in myriads of scandals, but as yet no one can quite figure out what they all mean and where they will lead.
