leaders have developed a disgraceful habit of casting aside those who serve
their country with honor and dignity – as well as those from other
countries who worked as foreign assets – when they no longer find them
useful.

will soon extradite former CIA officer Sabrina de Sousa to Italy for
incarceration. Her crime? She executed the orders of her CIA superiors, who
were acting under the direction of the administration with oversight from
Congress.
A
dual citizen of the United States and Portugal, an Italian court convicted
her in absentia in 2009 for her alleged role in the kidnapping of radical

In
my childhood, one of the fun games in the daily newspaper was a
"connecting the dots" puzzle. A simple system of drawing a line
from one numbered dot to the other produced a picture any child could see.
Every now and then a typo would occur in the printing of the paper and the
result was an unsolvable puzzle with a blurred image. The newspaper would
issue an apology to its readers and that was that. A harmless mistake in an
innocent game.
The
same solution does not hold true in more serious fields.

Mediterranean Sea to the souks of Damascus and the Saudi holy city of

In the amorphous twilight of the Afghan war, it isn't
enough to draw a bead on the enemy. Before they shoot, U.S. troops have to
navigate a tricky legal and political question: When is it OK for them to
kill Taliban?

Mohed Altrad came into this world after his father raped
his mother somewhere in the Syrian desert. He doesn't know his date of
birth or his age. He is likely in his 60s but can't be sure. He doesn't

chairman of a global construction-services firm, the owner of a rugby team
and an Officer of the French Legion of Honor.

WASHINGTON—The Obama administration has concluded that
uranium particles discovered last year at a secretive Iranian military base
likely were tied to the country's past, covert nuclear weapons program,
current and former officials said, a finding that contradicts Tehran's
longstanding denials that it was pursuing a bomb.
