In The News
Yesterday several readers opined that there was no reason to report "stories that don't change anything". Someone forgot to tell the Associated Press...A big shout out to reader J. for sending us the subscription only MTI story about yesterday's demonstration organized by Amnesty International Hungary to protest alleged abuses of suspects in the "war on terror." (Wait - we forgot - is it editorializing to put "war on terror" in quotes, and if you don't are you supposed to put it in capitals?) According to the report, seven Amnesty activists and several reporters were on hand for the demo, but "not one supporter showed up to participate." Maybe they were all in Guantanamo!
Oh, the many splendors of close-up camera angles!

Does anyone besides me find it the least bit odd that the same grand jury system that couldn't find probable cause of a witnessed assault had no problem finding probable cause in this case?
Atrios and Ann Coulter... what do they have in common?

Well I was inclined to pull this out of my back pocket as support for my argument that jury nullification is not a good thing, but I'm biding my time... :)
