		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been preoccupied with other affairs lately, and haven&#8217;t been much inclined to write blog entries, as the date stamp will attest. However, sometimes events crop up in ways that just demand to be shared and commented upon.
Two news stories this week converged (at least in my mind) to compel the question:  just how do [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The CIA Inspector General&#8217;s report on U.S. torture of detainees was released this week (under court order, thanks to a diligent ACLU lawsuit, after five years hidden from public view). The timing dovetails with Attorney General Holder&#8217;s decision to launch an investigation of that torture (albeit a tightly constrained one).
The conduct detailed in the report is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As a prominent public figure, Robert McNamara was before my time. He had stepped down as Secretary of Defense well before I was even born. But the man who died Monday had a more profound influence on our country&#8217;s politics and policy than any number of more recent, more familiar, and more famous names.

		<description><![CDATA[Where did we leave off? 
I was writing about the difficulty of finding something meaningful to say in the wake of all the full-time, professional political bloggers out there. Too often I feel like I&#8217;m just offering a synthesis of what others have said, rather than any new insight.
Perhaps I&#8217;m holding myself to an arbitrarily high [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My recent posts on Star Trek brought me more readers than anything else I&#8217;ve written in months, but unfortunately I don&#8217;t have anything new to say about that right now.
My posts about politics, by contrast, usually draw markedly less traffic than the ones about pop culture. Nevertheless, I enjoy the topic, and certainly don&#8217;t intend [...]]]></description>

When media outlets aren&#8217;t talking to him they&#8217;re talking about him, in numerous &#8220;think [...]]]></description>
