Iraq heads toward civil war and al-Qaeda surges.

Some columns are easy to write. This will not be one of them. In the process of making a larger point, I am forced to defend people of questionable character demeanor and/or sanity, because they are no longer able to defend themselves. They have been killed by law enforcement officials under questionable circumstances. Following each shooting, there was a promise that a thorough investigation would be conducted. Yet if the latter investigation proceeds as the former one has, one may be forced to conclude that government investigators are engaged in one thing and one thing only: running out the clock on a reliably distracted public.

A misleading report trashing vouchers -- and what it left out.
We have a thug occupying the Oval Office. Not a bad president. Depending on your ideological point of view, we've elected men who were cheats and crooks, those who were arrogant and clueless, and many others who were stunningly mediocre. But never a genuine thug. Until now.

Why the full faith and credit of the United States is hanging by a thread.
A fitting reflection on the party leading America into bankruptcy.
In a previous column, I advocated the establishment of a viable third party for the millions of Americans who feel disenfranchised by Democrats and their get-along-to-go-along Republican counterparts. The predictable reaction? A third party will siphon votes from the Republicans and make Democrats unassailable. Historically speaking, that assessment is accurate. Yet the establishment Republicans' reaction to Ted Cruz's 21-hour marathon versus the reaction of the American public, leads me to the conclusion that we may be in the midst of an historically anomalous moment.
ISNA's charity status revoked up north -- so why is the president embracing it as a “partner”?

Charges dropped against jailed parent Robert Small -- but the chilling message has been sent.
Conservatives in Congress, and their fellow travelers among the chattering classes, are working overtime devising clever strategies to defund ObamaCare. I won't bore you with the details, but suffice it to say none of them will likely amount to a hill of beans.
How long before the weapons are turned on us?
Yesterday the *Washington Free Beacon* [reported](http://freebeacon.com/cia-employee-who-refused-to-sign-non-disclosure-on-benghazi-suspended/) that a CIA agent who refused to sign a nondisclosure agreement preventing him from talking about Benghazi has been suspended and forced to hire an attorney, according to Congressman Frank Wolfe (R-VA). "The reports on the NDA are accurate. We're getting people who call," Wolf said Monday. Wolfe was appearing at the inaugural meeting of the Citizens Commission on Benghazi, where he [reiterated](http://www.talkradionews.com/audio/2013/09/16/citizens-commission-on-benghazi-aims-to-uncover-truth-one-year-after-benghazi-attacks.html#.UjhpnbwjH1w) his contention that the Congressional investigation into the incident is being bogged down by five separate committees working independently of each other to discover the truth. His call for a House Select Committee has been stonewalled by House Majority leader John Boehner (R-OH).
