CIA Director Leon Panetta disclosed his fears today that Iran could have enough low-enriched uranium to build two nuclear warheads by 2012. Tehran would need a year to enrich it fully to produce a bomb and it would take “another year to develop the kind of weapon delivery system in order to make that viable,” [...]

The US commander of the multinational force in Afghanista, General Stanley McChrystal has been relieved off his duties over stinging comments he had made about senior Obama administration officials. Mr Obama said it was a change in personnel not policy, as he appointed the architect of the Iraq war, General David Petraeus to the role. [...]

President Obama was said to be furious after a Louisiana judge ordered to lift the six-month ban on deepwater drilling. The ban was imposed by Obama in the wake of the oil spill of the Gulf coast. With a simple signature of Judge Martin Feldman’s pen, the 33 deepwater rigs that had their operations ceased [...]

As one of the precipitating factors for the Great Recession of 2008, federal, state and local authorities have attempted to slam the door shut on the reckless mortgage application and closing practices of the past decade. Unfortunately, some innocent homeowners have been pinched in the process as authorities have swept them up in stings attempting [...]

In early June, the U.S. Supreme Court narrowed the parameters of the Miranda decision (requiring the familiar warning that begins “You have the right to remain silent”), asserting that criminal suspects must now explicitly state to police that they’re invoking their right to remain silent. Dissenting justices wrote that the decision turns Miranda “upside down.” [...]

He was once one of Mexico’s most feared drug lords, ruling his cocaine smuggling empire along the Texas border with a violent ferocity aimed at competitors and disloyal employees alike. Now Osiel Cardenas has become an informant himself, sharing secrets so explosive they’ve been hidden by a U.S. court from the public at a closed [...]

Nearly 700,000 signatures were collected from almost every county in California in order to qualify an initiative that would legalize marijuana within the state’s borders for the November ballot. Though the initiative would ultimately defy federal laws that make the possession and sale of marijuana a crime, discussion surrounding the initiative will at minimum place [...]

Our criminal justice system obeys the law of unintended consequences. Eventually, all of our policy decisions have consequences, and some of those come back to haunt us. We can see this in the aftermath of the crackdown on crime in this country. Decades of laws imposing ever-increasing penalties and longer prison sentences have left us [...]

According to The New York Times, in March the number of home owners who had their mortgages modified under the government’s home loan modification program and then defaulted on their loans nearly doubled. The total number of “cancellations,” as the U.S. Treasury Department calls loans that were terminated early, was 2,879 in March, up from [...]

The world’s largest retailer, Wal-Mart, is squarely in the crosshairs of a sex discrimination class action lawsuit that may have far reaching implications on sex-based bias in the workplace. On April 26, 2010, a federal appeals court in San Francisco ruled that the lawsuit against the retail giant may proceed as a class action. Originally [...]
