"The administration's lawyers believe the president should be permitted to violate statutory law, to violate international treaties, and even to violate the Fourth Amendment inside the U.S. They believe that the president should be above the law."

"Each time one of these memos comes out you have to come up with a more extreme way to characterize it," Jaffer said.

Whats wrong with libertarianism: Mar 31, 2:14pm 13 reviews politics
http://www.zompist.com/libertos.html; Very much a mish-mash of arguments and history, but only dealing with straw-man versions of libertarianism isn't going to convince current libertarians to change their mind.

Lazare Ponticelli | Economist.com: Mar 25, 4:15pm 1 review middle-east
http://www.economist.com/obituary/displaystory.cfm?story_id=10875719; From the page: "Increasingly, however, people wanted to talk to him about the war. He always courteously obliged them, though by the end his thin, scratchy voice came out in gasps. It was as important to him as it was to them to underscore the horror and futility of it. More than anything, he was appalled that he had been made to fire on people he didn't know and to whom he, too, was a stranger. These were fathers of children. He had no quarrel with them. C'est complètement idiot la guerre. His Italian Alpine regiment had once stopped firing for three weeks on the Austrians, whose language many of them spoke; they had swapped loaves of bread for tobacco and taken pictures of each other. To the end of his life, Mr Ponticelli showed no interest in labelling anyone his enemy. He said he did not understand why on earth he, or they, had been fighting."
