Sorry for the extra-light blogging these past few days. I’m a bit under the weather and have no stomach for deep thoughts to intermingle my metaphors. In lieu of actual thoughts on a page, here are some thoughts by others:
- Obama and Faith by Andrew Sullivan;
- David Cameron’s “Call that election. We will fight. Britain will win.” speech;
- The New York Daily News’ Rudy Guiliani Jeopardy: The Answer is Always 9/11 (I actually have been preparing something like this collecting quotes, etcetera, but they beat me to it. I’ll supplement this with a few more quotes soon.);
- The New York Times with a powerful article On Torture and American Values;
- A powerful piece by Anne Applebaum on protected Ayaan Hirsi Ali;
- An important Washington Post piece about how the Bush administration played politics with a vital intelligence connection and lost it;
- And of course, why Americans should eat more excrement from Slate magazine.
