--This week's issue-->

Environmentalism kills: West Nile Fever spreads: Alan Caruba believes you can blame the spread of West Nile Fever, at least in part, on the environmentalist movement

The people versus the preposterous: W. James Antle wasn't very impressed by Al Gore's recent diatribe in the New York Times. If he runs in 2004 like he did in 2000, Dubya is assured of another term

The failures behind September 11: The Cell: Inside the 9/11 Plot, And Why the FBI and CIA Failed to Stop It tells a story which many Americans won't want to hear. Steve Martinovich reviews John Miller, Michael Stone with Chris Mitchell's effort No conflict between liberty and security: What we should be choosing between is not liberty and security, since the second is only a means to the first -- but between appeasement and security, writes Alex Epstein

Restore the House Committee on Internal Security: Rather than create an entirely new bloated government office, Charles A. Morse thinks the Bush Administration should push a solution from the past

Pravda and Izvestia: American style: No matter what their defenders say, Bruce Walker knows that when it comes to the media, "There is no Pravda in Izvestia, and there is no Izvestia in Pravda"

Army brats: The Corps of Engineers has too much power and too little sense: To put it mildly, Patrick O'Hannigan is no fan of the Army Corps of Engineers. The agency seems hungrier for power and money than its fulfilling its traditional mandate

Panacea: How a single executive decision can win conservatives victories on three fronts: As Machiavellian as it sounds, an invasion of of Iraq would solve a number of domestic problems for U.S. President George W. Bush. G. Stolyarov II explains

Pennsylvania abortion case raises question of choice for men: When it comes to reproductive rights, argue Glenn Sacks and Dianna Thompson, it's a one-sided street. Men have none and nor should they expect their interests be considered

Bush vs. UN's International Criminal Court: Stay tuned: The Bush Administration doesn't seem sure whether it wants to be a part of the International Criminal Court. Tom DeWeese says Americans are lucky that Congressman Ron Paul has the right answer

Guns -- not political correctness -- will thwart terrorists and killers: The federal government sometimes seems to be afraid to bring its full weight to bear against America's threats, but C.T. Rossi says Louisiana Governor Mike Foster certainly isn't

Big Brother really is watching: William S. Lind says the government is using September 11 to justify a lot of things. Including not allowing him to renew his driver's license

Government databases: The case against centralization: Centralized computer databases are a wonderful thing for benevolent governments, writes Christopher Kilmer, except when it comes to your privacy
