Others have raised concerns that countries hostile to the United States would use the court as a venue to attack America and its leaders. This argument ignores the fact that the judges presiding over the court will come from nations committed to the rule of law, such as Great Britain and Canada. It also assumes that an American could not commit a war crime heinous enough to be worthy of prosecution. This is nothing but pompous self-aggrandizement; a war criminal is a war criminal, whatever the nationality...
...Clothesline Project cannot rely solely on the power of emotion to end sexual assault at Harvard. The most visible part of TBTN should empower potential victims with information about how to get justice if they are assaulted and tell potential attackers how they will be punished if they commit assault or rape...
Executing a successful attack has grown easier in the past 1 1/2 years. Since bomber candidates are now volunteering, they are self-selected for commitment and do not require indoctrination.

Bravo for Charles Krauthammer's commentary "The Case for Profiling," in which he argues that airport security should focus on the people who are most likely to commit terrorist acts [ESSAY, March 18]. We are paralyzed by political correctness. It is time somebody blew the whistle on it. In any other country, profiling would certainly take place in airports, and rightly so. As a frequent traveler, I would understand being profiled in countries where people matching my physical description are known terrorists. I would expect to be treated correctly, but I would not object to being profiled. Countries have...
