April 24, 2009 by GregC

Did President Obama help the nation move past the controversy over interrogations or just fan the flames by releasing the CIA memos?  Just how extreme were the techniques?  Does it matter that we subject our own soldiers to waterboarding, sleep deprivation and forced positions?  Is Nancy Pelosi credible when she says the intelligence committees were never told about waterboarding and the other tactics?  Should Obama release hundreds of pictures of the interrogations?  What is the impact of all this on our intelligence workers and military interrogators?

Why Shipping Companies and Insurance Carriers Don’t Want Hostilities with Pirates

April 24, 2009 by GregC

As the Maersk Alabama drama played out off the coast of Somalia earlier this month, President Obama, Secretary of State Clinton and others discussed the need to confront and eliminate the threat of piracy off the horn of Africa.  So why are shipping and insurance companies strongly opposed to this sort of confrontation?  Why are they skeptical that such an approach would be effective?  And why do they fear more for their crews if the situation does escalate?  We ask Mark Hosenball, investigative correspondent for Newsweek magazine.
