Technology Review reports that WikiLeaks, under denial of service attack and having been booted from previous hosts, has now found a new host that literally keeps its data center in an underground bunker. You can see some fascinating photos with

I am not a Hillary Clinton fan. But with the WikiLeaks document dump, I might become one. Julian Assange, the criminal founder of WikiLeaks, wants her scalp. He told Time magazine, “But she should resign if it can be shown

Lee Smith has a fascinating article over at Tablet. His conclusion: WikiLeaks must be in cahoots with Cheney and Netanyahu because the revelations are a vindication of what the neoconservatives have been saying all along. An excerpt: “Wikileaks founder Julian

So now, thanks to Wikileaks, we see the innards of American diplomacy displayed for the entire world to see: the entrails of secret conversations, the arteries of secret operations, and the guts of policy. With hundreds of thousands of cables

North Korea has shelled a remote island killing two South Korean marines and now there is talk of war breaking out on the Korean peninsula. What is North Korea really up to? Contrary to what some are saying, this is

The hallmark of the American approach to Afghanistan has been to negotiate with the Taliban. American diplomats, at the direction of the Obama Administration, have been sitting down for detailed negotiations with Mullah Mansour, a senior commander of the Taliban.

This interesting piece was published today in the Israeli publication Ynetnews. Think the TSA is intrusive? There’s a reason the Israelis have great airplane security. And it’s not because they take a “hands-off” approach. An excerpt: “Before checking-in for my

Yes, those full body scanners are intrusive and the pat-downs are irritating. TSA employees can be overzealous. But honestly, what is the alternative? Those who favor the use of profiling for airport security are correct in pointing out that this

President Obama has been pushing the U.S. Senate to ratify the START nuclear arms pact with Russia. Now comes Defense Secretary Robert Gates with an ominous warning: failure to sign the agreement might disrupt Russia’s cooperation in areas such as

Iran is introducing a whole new line of “Islamic products.” A report: “Innovations and inventions in Iran , and not just in the missile department : A number of products created specifically for the local market were revealed this week

Secretary of Defense Robert Gates and President Obama’s Debt Commission are looking to divert money away from defense and search for savings of $100 billion. (This is supposed to go to deficit reduction, but who is naive enough to believe

Both former President Bush and now President Obama have committed to the United States to escalating the war in Afghanistan in an attempt to defeat the Taliban and bring some sense of stability to that country. Afghanistan is but one

It’s always open to speculation how wars will be fought in the future. But there is one sure bet. The way that our armed forces are powered will change. Part of the problem is that America consumes a lot of

Let’s see: Pakistan is believed to have nuclear weapons. Elements of the intelligence service (ISI) support the Taliban. Large portions of the countryside are ungovernable. Where will it all lead? Ex-CIA analyst Bruce Riedel believes that the country is already

Not very well, at least according to this editorial in the Arab News. An excerpt: “So President Barack Obama thinks that more works needs to be done to end Muslim mistrust of the US but that he is making progress

Now this strikes me as troubling. The Navy SEALS are embarking on a targeted campaign to recruit more minority candidates, reports the Navy Times. Apparently some are concerned because “minority representation” is below the national average. The Naval Special Warfare

Now here comes a rollicking great read: Newt Gingrich’s latest in historical fiction. He continues his series on George Washington with Valley Forge. Here’s a excerpt from chapter 1, courtesy of the authors. Near Middle Ford of the Schuylkill River,

President Obama may have tried to give the impression that he understands the message America sent him on Tuesday, but you wouldn’t know it from his comments just hours ago about the START treaty. Many serious questions have been raised

With the appointment of Xi Jinping as Chairman of the Chinese Communist Party’s Central Military Commission (CMC), the People’s Liberation Army is gaining further clout in China. That’s the conclusion of this report by Willy Lam of the Jamestown Foundation.

So here’s a new twist for a terrorist defense: YouTube made me do it. In Great Britain Roshanara Choudhry has been jailed for attempting to murder Member of Parliament Stephen Timms. She attacked him with a knife, stabbing him in

Breaking news out of Israel, where a leading paper is reporting: “Hezbollah is planning to seize control of the Lebanese government if charged by International Court of Justice over the assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik al-Hariri, security sources in

This is good for our country and good for our foreign policy. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is overseas as America elects a new Republican Congress–but she doesn’t trash the Tea Party or the newly elected members of the House

A big priority for the new Republican majority in the House will hopefully be to dramatically cut government spending. Welfare, waste, and corporate welfare are easy targets. But what about defense spending? Does it need to be cut too? Libertarians

Marco Rubio wins. Grayson is gone–beaten handily by a terrific candidate and former state senator named Daniel Webster. (He will live up to his name.) And Republicans look like they are going to pick up three other Congressional seats in

In early voting Marco Rubio has been declared the winner in the U.S. Senate race and Rick Scott (R) leads in the Governor’s contest. Races you may not have heard of but represent possible huge wins for conservatives: Steve Southerland

In Massachusetts, perhaps only Massachusetts, local voters report from the 8th Suffolk Representative District that the following “Public Policy Question” #4 was on the ballot–even though it was never approved to appear on the ballot. “Shall the state representative from

With Republicans expected to take the House of Representatives, attention will soon be turning to who on Capitol Hill will be calling the shots on defense and foreign policy. Foreign Policy magazine offers a summary of who’s-who. An excerpt: Foreign
