    When he was governor of Pennsylvania, Tom Ridge signed the execution warrant for Muslim militant Mumia Abu-Jamal, whom a jury convicted of murdering Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner in 1981. Mumia had shot the 25-year-old policeman once in the back and point-blank in the face. A handful of congressmen, as part of a yearslong campaign to "Free Mumia," assailed Ridge. Those same congressmen likely will give Ridge an even harder time in his new post as secretary of homeland security. The most senior of them, Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.), has been on the Mumia campaign since the start, signing letters,...

I propose we mobilize another front of OPERATION INFINITE FREEP by showing our troops directly that we support them.

    ARLINGTON, Va. -- When Army Special Forces Sgt. Denis McCarthy returned from hunting al-Qaeda in Afghanistan (news - web sites) to his career here as a financial analyst and to his schoolteacher wife, Eli, the homecoming was bittersweet. ''You're waiting for that Humphrey Bogart-Ingrid Bergman moment where you get off the plane and go run into each other's arms and hug and kiss, and it's like the movies,'' says McCarthy, 34, a member of the West Virginia National Guard who spent six months in combat near the Pakistani border. ''It's not,'' the part-time soldier says. His service in Afghanistan was...

    Two of the more right-wing Likud ministers, Public Security Minister Uzi Landau and Environment Minister Tzachi HaNegbi, say they may not be able to be ministers in the upcoming government. Landau said today that he would forego a ministerial post if it comes with having to support a Palestinian state, as Prime Minister Ariel Sharon appears to be demanding. Sharon, meeting with his fellow Likud ministers yesterday, asked them to support his positions, including no opposition to the establishment of a Palestinian state. When HaNegbi replied that he does not intend to represent a line that "stands in 180-degree opposition...

"We feel that the international community is committed to us," Afghan Finance Minister Ashraf Ghani Ahmadzai told a news conference after the meeting, when asked if Iraq might overshadow Afghanistan....
