# Yonika Willis at The South Bend Tribune - Haunted by fatal encounter: Mishawaka man recalls night he killed intruder - An 84-year-old Indiana resident shot and killed a man who broke into his house in the dark of night. The prosecutor ruled the killing self defense, but refuses to give him back his revolver. See further commentary by Publicola and Nicki Fellenzer. I sent the following via the St. Joseph County Prosecutor's Office contact form: [nicki]
I read in the South Bend Tribune that Chief Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Frank Schaffer has said that Robert Birtwhistle will never get back the .32 revolver that he used to defend his life against a home break-in. There's a name for that. It's called theft. Should Mr. Birtwhistle be harmed in another break-in because he doesn't have his gun to use to defend himself, it will be called conspiracy to assault. Give the man's gun back. No excuses. Pick it up, get in your car, drive to his house, and give it to him. Now!

# Joseph Farah at World Net Daily - Al-Qaida nukes already in U.S. - take with a grain of salt. If true, and it wouldn't surprise me, it could be very bad news for the U.S. [liberty]

WASHINGTON -- As London recovers from the latest deadly al-Qaida attack that killed at least 50, top U.S. government officials are contemplating what they consider to be an inevitable and much bigger assault on America -- one likely to kill millions, destroy the economy and fundamentally alter the course of history, reports Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin.

According to captured al-Qaida leaders and documents, the plan is called the "American Hiroshima" and involves the multiple detonation of nuclear weapons already smuggled into the U.S. over the Mexican border with the help of the MS-13 street gang and other organized crime groups.

# Arnold Kling at Tech Central Station - The Folk Song Army Sings Africa - what an old Tom Lehrer song can teach us about the idiocy of the mentality of the Live 8 philosophy. Poverty cannot be ended by redistributing wealth. It can only be ended by teaching the poor to make their own wealth and by getting governments out of the way. [kimdutoit]
