The trials of Khalid Sheik Mohammed and the other 9/11 plotters in civilian court will degenerate into a show trial of the Bush Administration's methods in the War on Terror. So now Khalid Sheik Mohammed (KSM) and five self-confessed 9/11 co-conspirators are to be tried not as war criminals in a …Defending Sarah
Matthew Continetti's new book, The Persecution of Sarah Palin is lite-fare as much as it is red-meat, and should be taken with a barrel of salt. From the beginning, the Weekly Standard has been on Sarah Palin’s side. As the magazine’s associate editor Matthew Continetti reminds us throughout …GOP Must Rally Behind Kirk
A moderate Republican candidate like Rep. Mark Kirk seems ideally placed to win Barack Obama's old Senate seat in Illinois.

With the February 2 nd …9/11 Trials: A World Stage for Jihad?

Dick Durbin) are receiving large amounts of flu vaccine, the city's northern suburbs which form the congressional district of Republican Rep. Mark Kirk are receiving none at all. Is …Obamacare: A Public Policy Disaster
The problem with President Obama's health proposals rests in their very ideological underpinning: that only with a new, massive role for the federal government will we better American healthcare. Like many, back in January, I was willing to give the new Administration a chance. Let’s be clear: …China & Pakistan: Nuke Suppliers to the World
China is the generator of the nuclear problems that stare us in the face today - but it's role has been generally ignored. Abdul Qadeer Khan, the founder of Pakistan's nuclear program, subsequently went about selling their technology to Iran, Iraq, Libya and North Korea. China is the generator of …Canada's Best
