"UN Peacekeepers: Protectors or Predators?" talks about the sexual abuse committed at the hands of UN "Peacekeepers." Nor is this the first, in the book I am currently reading, George Pell Defender of the Faith Down Under, I learned that the UN forces did similar things in Asia, Cambodia I believe, though I could be mistaken.

"Bush Sends Senate 20 Judicial Nominees" has some info on George Bush's recent court appointments. Looks like the democrats still want to stall these out.

"Mich. Mayor Blacklists Those Who Sued City" shows an interesting approach: not doing business with companies that sue the government. I wonder how that will hold up.
