Politics:

The boys at the Inter-Galactic Jester are coming up with 5 Republicans they actually like.

They also note the Church's split on homosexuality - which is becoming a political battle.

Nephtuli thinks Bush is a great friend of Israel's: By butting out. The comments have begun another discussion, worth checking out.

LGF notes that Al-Jazeera may not be a great news source.

In Ramallah, staff members of Al Jazeera TV chant, “Down with fascist America, and with the terrorist administration!” (Hat tip: MEMRI TV.)

Judeopundit sees that the US's Green Party has called for divestment from Israel.

LGF and the Corner (via Instapundit) make some interesting notes on the four recent hostages in Iraq.

In a statement, Christian Peacemaker Teams said it strongly opposed the U.S. invasion of Iraq and blamed the kidnapping on coalition forces.

Well, that's pretty stupid.

WITH FRIENDS LIKE THESE... [Kathryn Jean Lopez]
The peace group whose four were kidnapped declares on their website:

CPT does not advocate the use of violent force to save lives of its workers should they be kidnapped, held hostage, or caught in the middle of a conflict situation.

And that just stinks. Imagine if you're one of those hostages: You want to live, but if you are rescued, that would require making your organization and life's work look foolish. Your only hope is to be released by the terrorists nice people holding you hostage because of the American atrocities. Sucks, doesn't it? I should note that I hope they are rescued, and the terrorists caught or killed.
