    Ever since America was founded, two of its fundamental institutions—its legal system and its system of higher education—have been synonymous with ethics, integrity and fairness.
    But beneath the Statue of Justice’s blindfold and within the confines of academia’s ivory towers lurk amoralities, mendacities and biases so virulent that even Machiavelli would blush.
    Even those who just cursorily follow the news in America cannot help but notice that scarcely a month (and sometimes scarcely a (…)

    Raymond McCord, Sr. is one determined Ulsterman! On Oct. 22, 2009, he got a chance, on Capitol Hill, in Washington, D.C., to tell a House Subcommittee his story about his long struggle to bring the killers of his son, Raymond McCord, Jr., to justice.

    Mister President Barak Obama 14/10/09 The White House, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue N.W. Washington, D. C. 20500
    Mister President Obama,

  • The Next Lost War

    By David Glenn Cox
    Never has Colin Powell’s Pottery Barn analogy been more apt than in the next lost war, Pakistan. In our quest to strike down radical Islam, we have done so like an angry housewife chasing a mouse with a broom, and in the process done more damage with the broom than the mouse ever could.
    I recently listened to Ray McGovern speak about Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the third rail of American foreign policy, Israel. McGovern, a life long security analyst for the (…)
