For as long as I could, I avoided writing about the proposed Islamic Center near Ground Zero. For starters, on a personal level, the subject is uncomfortable. As a writer who has the great privilege of working with moderate Muslim-Americans and heroic moderate Muslims in the middle east and elsewhere, I reject the idea that …

I’ll be discussing security implications of the Steven Slater controversy. Enjoy!
Yesterday I appeared on Securefreedom radio, the Center for Security Policy’s radio show, discussing the attempted Times Square terror bombing and the Baghdad recount.

Although the President is taking heat from the left for this action (or lack thereof), it seems to me one of his wiser moves (non-moves?) of late. After all, he does not want …
