- Letters to the editor
Regarding “Hooray for court/Decision a blow to Bush, not war on terror” (Editorial, June 30):
Thank you for your strong editorial involving the Supreme Court decision on the trial rights of Guantanamo Bay detainees. While I agree it is an important case, in some ways it's a small, and possibly fleeting, victory for our Constitution.
- ALVARO VARGAS LLOSA
Mexico is becoming two nations
It's just as well that Mexico has two self-proclaimed presidents while the final count in Sunday's presidential election takes place: Mexico is not one, but two countries.
- GEORGE F. WILL THE WASHINGTON POST
Marking the birth of individualism
For your Fourth of July reading, open a mind-opening book about an immensely important American war concerning which you may know next to nothing. King Philip's War, the central event in a best-seller that is one of this summer's publishing surprises, left a lasting imprint on America.
- America has far too many secrets
The U.S. Freedom of Information Act, or FOIA, turns 40 today, the day we celebrate our independence. But this anniversary is not a day of celebration for the right to information in our country. Our government leaders have become increasingly obsessed with secrecy.
