INDONESIAN militant Abu Dujana will sue the police, saying he was shot in the thigh by members of an elite anti-terrorist unit after surrendering, one of his lawyers said today. Dujana, who is believed to head a military wing of the South-East Asian militant group Jemaah Islamiah (JI), was captured on June 9 during a police raid in central Java. Lawyer Achmad Michdan said the country's anti-terrorism unit, Detachment 88, had violated the suspect's rights by shooting him after he had surrendered. "We will sue the Indonesian police and Detachment 88 and we will ask the court to examine the...

May 23, 2006 -- IN my new book ("Can She Be Stopped?"), I suggest that the Republican best suited to the challenge of preventing Hillary Clinton's ascension to the Oval Of fice in 2008 is Rudy Giuliani. A Fox News Opinion Dynamics poll released yesterday offers some strong ballast for the idea: In a head-to-head matchup, Rudy beats Hillary 49 percent to 40 percent, the best showing among all Republican contenders.

I can still remember the sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach during those proceedings, when it became clear that the President had so systematically abused the powers of the presidency and so threatened the rule of law...

(U-WIRE) LINCOLN, Neb. -- You can feel the tension rising in the West Wing and Capitol Hill. Hurricanes have blown through the South Lawn. A Supreme Court nominee has offered a whole lot of nothing. Indictments are starting to pop up throughout Washington, D.C., (and that may only be the tip of the proverbial iceberg). Gas is so expensive, Air Force One has been told to lose weight. The last couple of months haven't been good for the Bush administration and its cronies. But what of the Democratic Party's response? Has there really been one? At a time when the...
