...habeas corpus, meaning that they cannot challenge their detention in a civilian court. This right, so fundamental to liberty, has been around since the 12th century and is in Article One, Section Nine of the Constitution. Without the right to challenge their imprisonment, there is no guarantee of a trial, swift or otherwise, giving incarcerated “terrorists” full opportunity to enjoy the treatment and facilities at Chez Guantanamo or one of the U.S.’s secret torture resorts...
...administration that is less than a month old, North Korea's nuclear shocker posed a difficult trial by fire. But Abe?at 52, Japan's youngest postwar Prime Minister?has aced his debut on the world stage, showing decisiveness and deft diplomacy that have heartened his supporters and confounded his critics. Not only has the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) leader demonstrated his willingness to play hardball with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Il, he has also displayed a conciliatory side during fence-mending visits to China and South Korea aimed at easing strained relations between Japan and its neighbors...

As a hygienic bonus, expelled air and collected water are thoroughly filtered. The Airblade hits gas or, rather, petrol stations in Britain this fall and will probably find its way into U.S. rest rooms...
...difficult for people to judge week to week. I think we've done the right thing. I think we're doing the right thing now. I firmly believe that. The President firmly believes it. I think the world is better off with Saddam Hussein in jail, on trial, than in power. Right next door today in Iran you've got Mr. Ahmadinejad off and running trying to develop nuclear weapons. The only thing that would be more volatile is if you also had Saddam Hussein trying to develop nuclear weapons in Baghdad. Establishing a democratic government, getting...
