The UK has secret quotas for kicking disabled people off benefits.

Cruelty to the weak is what it stands for.

Hillary Clinton Flaunts Her Surveillance State Baggage.

An ex-TSA agent ridicules the rule requiring powering up every computer. He says it is not likely to stop terrorists, but is sure to cause many people great upset.

US agents seized Roman Seleznev, son of a Russian MP, in the Maldives.

Either the US agents kidnaped him without informing the government of the Maldives, or the government of the Maldives handed someone over to the US illegally without an extradition hearing.
