Not such strange bedfellows
— Breaking news: Conservative organizations suddenly have found common cause with one of their favorite objects of contempt — the benighted mainstream media.

137 shots at unarmed man: Time for Justice Department to intervene
The 2010 killing of Torey Breedlove has always stunk. He was unarmed, yet shot at by cops 137 times. Physical evidence didn't add up. Surveillance video was erased. The hail of gunfire was so wild that 115 rounds missed their mark — some hitting...

'Slow moving holocaust' keeps prisons full
The first thing you notice about the 1905 mug shot of Laura Scott is her Sunday-go-to-meeting hat, large with wayward bows. Then, you take in the information surrounding the photograph that reveals her physical measurements and describes her as a 40-year-...

Bittersweet question: Is Hostess management or union getting just deserts?
With all the sugar-frosted eulogies for Twinkies, Ho Hos, Wonder Bread and other foodstuffs from Hostess Brands, one might forget that about 18,000 jobs hung on the fate of the bankrupt company. Sorry, Mom. Guess we're still filling up on snacks and...Tags: Strikes, Career and Workplace, Economy, Business and Finance, Chicago Tribune, Hostess Brands, Inc.

On drones, U.S. hiding behind tortured definitions

In defense of Obama's drone war

They must be separated to be clearly understood. 1....Tags: Crime, Law and Justice, Anwar al-Awlaki, Justice System, Al-Qaeda, Religious Conflicts

Rand Paul's stunt misses the point
If you took Sen. Rand Paul duck hunting, he'd probably shoot the decoy.

Mary Jo White's spin at SEC's revolving door
One of the oft-repeated justifications for why Wall Street must be regulated by Wall Streeters is that what goes on there is both so complex and so essential that only those who have been part of it can be trusted to oversee it.
