Lunacy International - According to

Lunacy International - According to a report by Amnesty International, the passengers of Flight 93, whose doomed uprising against their hijackers may have saved the White House, violated the hijackers' rights to Free Speech, Trial by Jury and Due Process.

OK, not quite. But the rest of their report, despite little motes of occasional relevance (opposition to the vagaries of the Patriot Act) is a statement of such smug and idiotic America-last-ism that words fail. In a world full of Sudans and Zimbabwes, for Amnesty (to which I used to contribute) to harp on the US would be comical were it not so depressing.

No Heads Rolled - I doubt many rational non-agendified people really believe that the president knew anything about 9/11 in advance, certainly nothing he or anyone could have formed a considered reaction to. But Jesse Walker, in Reason, asks - if' that's true, are all of the "Patriot Act's" powers such a good idea?
