Noting that a false accusation of a crime like killing somebody while driving drunk is automatically libel or slander, Mr. Biden is lucky that Curtis Dunn is no longer alive to defend...

This was a triumph of planning, muscle and will. But even before it was cleared, the site was the focus of various forces: real estate and political interests, the wishes of the families of the almost 3,000 dead, the desires of New Yorkers in the immediate neighborhood and beyond. They were not all cynical. Many were idealistic. For some it was sacred ground, never to be touched. Others resisted turning the site into a necropolis, a place inhabited by ghosts. They wanted it...

Today he told his story here in Southaven where he reminded us American soldiers are still fighting to keep all of us from sharing a similar fate. And Thomas Hamill wants everyone to know it. Why? because everything these people are working for, is at stake, our very way of life.

"I've been a Christian all my life, but it's hard to say exactly if you can put everything in God's hands unless it just comes down to that fact," Hamill told Baptist Press June 7. "That's what happened to me on the deal with being captured. I didn't have anybody else to put it in, and I laid it in God's hands." Hamill was taken hostage...

We are the Army Reserve 724th Transportation Company. But in Iraq we have civilian contractors Kellogg Brown and Root. They do all the fuel hauling. So we basically become force protection for convoys. Friday, April 9th, about 7 a.m., my platoon started getting ready for a fuel convoy from LSA Anaconda in Balad to Baghdad International Airport (BIOP). We were running security for 21 civilian fuel trucks. We had 26 in the whole serial. I was in the 21st truck with a civilian, riding shotgun (passenger). I had never ridden with a civilian on a...

Hamill had been captured by Iraqi gunmen on April 9 and held hostage until his escape three weeks later. His captors demanded the U.S. withdraw from Fallujah or he would be killed. Hamill was captured in Baghdad, but was being held in Tikrit, about a hundred miles away. Hamill reportedly heard a US convoy passing by and made a successful break for freedom. Hamill immediately returned to his makeshift prison – with U.S. troops in tow – and took part in the capture...

The man said he was an American: Thomas Hamill, a contractor kidnapped last month after insurgents ambushed a convoy in which he'd been driving. He said he'd heard the US patrol pass the building in which he was being held, so he'd pried a door open and chased them half a mile up the road.

Coulter's critics have a point, of course; her over-the-top generalizing makes it difficult if not impossible to take the book seriously (a far more judicious - and better-written - treatment of the subject is Mona Charen's "Useful Idiots").
