McCain Mutinies Not

Good Morning. A couple of new items today.

• For a brief moment it looked as if John McCain and two other Republican senators might stand up to the administration's follies regarding terror suspects--illegal imprisonments, torture, kangaroo trials, and so on. Thursday evening, McCain & Co. surrendered. See "Monkey Trials After All."
  

• "David Brooks, Grand Mufti."
  

• A veteran assassin's warning to Pope Benedict, bombing Pakistan to the stone age, the Wall Street Journal editorial page miraculously sounding reasonable--and more: all in Candide's Latest.

Good weekend everyone.pt
