...politically active on the Right, Spring Break came early. Last weekend, over ten thousand conservatives descended on Washington, D.C. for the annual Conservative Political Action Conference. They packed the capital’s largest hotel complex for the most scrutinized political gathering in a non-convention year. For three days a who’s-who line up of conservative Republicans and not-so-unannounced 2012 primary contenders rallied the largely college-aged crowd...

...short drive from the delegate's hotel, down a side street in a crowded neighborhood, al-Megrahi's sprawling house is now guarded around the clock by uniformed police. When I tried to pay a visit to the family over the weekend, three Libyan police officers outside the high, bolted gates blocked the way, ordering me to leave. U.S. companies hope they might have an easier time breaking down the barriers in Libya...
