The Real Reason You’re Mad at the NSA

Tue, 18 Jun 2013 23:19:24 +0000

"What's really going on here?" That's the question I typically ask students to kick-start a discussion about some aspect of American intelligence at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies, where I teach a graduate course on the subject.
This same question might fairly be asked about the controversy dominating the news since the leak that revealed the intelligence community's highly classified electronic surveillance program. Why are we so fascinated with this case? Why are some Americans outraged at the government while others are outraged at the…

The entertainment potential provided by Devon and Cornwall Liberal Democrats over November’s Police Commissioner election seems to know no limit.

In February it was all perfectly clear. After months of internal wrangling, the Lib Dems decided, finally, not to field a candidate.

And then they changed their minds. So the official position, as I write this, is that the Devon and Cornwall Lib Dems are now seeking a candidate.

Step forward North Devon’s Brian Greenslade, a former chairman of the Devon and Cornwall Police Authority and a Liberal Democrat member of Devon county council. Except that Brian, who would very much like to be the Police Commissioner and who is a Liberal Democrat to his finger-tips, does not want to stand as a Liberal Democrat candidate.

This raises the highly amusing prospect of the Liberal Democrats having two candidates in the race – one of them official, one of them an independent.

Party officials are now frantically thumbing through their rule books to find out what the consequences of this might be: most seem to think that Brian could not stand against an official candidate and remain a member of the party.

Vacation Horror Stories: A Bat-Infested Trip To Ecuador

Tue, 18 Jun 2013 15:19:42 +0000

Listener Rachel Sumner of Ithaca, N.Y., recounts the story of her bat-infested trip to Ecuador for our series on vacation horror stories. A bat in her hotel room would keep returning no matter how many times she captured it and took it out. She had to get rabies shots and now has no sympathy for bats.

No Simple Answers on Security and Freedom

Tue, 18 Jun 2013 14:19:15 +0000

Years ago, the government snooped on my phone calls. It happened in Soviet Russia, where, at 16, I already knew it was dangerous to have politically risky conversations even near the telephone, let alone on it. Shortly after my parents sought permission to emigrate in 1979, we received startling accidental proof that Big Brother was listening. While on the phone with a friend, my mother suddenly heard mysterious clicks—followed by a playback of her own conversation. Moments later a strange voice asked, “Are you recording?”,…

Supreme Court Bingo: How Rulings Might Play Out

Tue, 18 Jun 2013 13:19:14 +0000

We’re nearing the end of the Supreme Court’s term. By the time June is over, all of the court’s opinions will be handed down, and the justices will take a break before resuming at the end of summer.
We now have enough information that we can start to play what I like to call “Supreme Court Bingo.” This is a game where you look at which justices have authored opinions in particular sittings of the term, crossing their names off a grid-like sheet as they do so. The idea is to attempt to deduce which justices are writing significant opinions, and…
