Simply this: please suggest where you think donations to help in Haiti should go? Where would they make the most good. Please comment
Why? In case you missed it, there was a 7.0 earthquake near Port-au-Prince yesterday with many serious aftershocks. Thousands are missing, many dead and much damage to this poor country’s infrastructure.

While people will (rightly) remember Walter Cronkite, I want to recall Henry Allingham, who died today. At age 113, he was the world’s oldest man and one of the last surviving veterans of World War One. He was also the last surviving founding member of the Royal Air Force, and in his last years [...]

Andrew Sullivan lays out the sickening details following the admission of former CIA torture advocate John Kiriakou: what torture is (again), what the threats weren’t and who knew and approved of torture. Read here and here. President Bush must be held accountable. Congress: where are you?
