Usually I do these on Sunday but I ran out of steam after three posts yesterday. On the bright side, my sloth has been rewarded by other bloggers posting better things for me to pick and choose.
Curzon at Coming Anarchy – “ Mapping the Gap, Prelude“
Kingdaddy at Arms and Influence – ” Counterinsurgency is easier, part II.”
Dave Schuler at The Glittering Eye – “From Way Up Here“
Arnaud de Borchgrave at The Washington Times – “Turmoil tripwires and byproducts“
Orrin Kerr at The Volokh Conspiracy – ” Rumsfeld v. FAIR” ( Today’s SCOTUS decision)
The next one is a real kicker that demonstrates the schizophrenic nature of the USG in the war on terror. One of the former leaders – yes, that’s right, leaders – of the Taliban(!) is now a student at Yale University. WTF ???? This is like inviting former Nazi gauleiters to come over and visit in 1948. Why is this guy not matriculating in Gitmo ? Who at State and Homeland Security imagined that giving this Islamist totalitarian thug a visa was a good idea?
John Fund at WSJ – ” Taliban Man at Yale“
That’s it.

I posted my own reflections on Rumsfeld v. FAIR — it may end up being a pretty important decision.
