An editorial / By Dale McFeatters, Scripps Howard News Service

The detainees among us
An editorial / By Dale McFeatters, Scripps Howard News Service

A daring raid and maybe an end in sight for FARC
An editorial / By Dale McFeatters, Scripps Howard News Service

An editorial / By Dale McFeatters, Scripps Howard News Service

The Bush administration has charged a Guantanamo Bay detainee with murder, among other serious charges, in the 2000 bombing of the USS Cole that killed 17 U.S. sailors.
Iraq opens its oil fields to foreigners
An editorial / By Dale McFeatters, Scripps Howard News Service
More than five years after the U.S.-led invasion, Iraq is now beginning the process of developing new oil and gas fields and accessing the technology and expertise to overcome decades of neglect and mismanagement of its oil industry.
A person no longer of interest in FBI anthrax case
An editorial / By Dale McFeatters, Scripps Howard News Service
After almost seven years, former biological warfare scientist Steven Hatfill is finally, in the words of one of his lawyers, "an ex-person of interest." He and his legal team will also collect a cash payout of $2.825 million from the Justice department and the department will also buy Hatfill an annuity that will pay him $150,000 a year in recognition of the fact that its heavy-handed
