-  U.S. Intel Chief's Warning:  Wall Street's Our Greatest Threat       The Director of National Intelligence argued that Wall Street, rather than       Islamic jihad, has produced our most dangerous terrorists.  It could trigger,       he said, a return to the “violent extremism” of the 1920s and 1930s.   -  “Obama and the Media Dilemma”       U.S. news media offered up one-sided coverage of the Bush administration,       relying on Republicans, right-wingers and pro-war military experts to shape       what Americans got to see and read.  They still are, at a 2:1 ratio.

Rifkin and Casey have long been vigorous opponents of the legitimacy of international tribunals to adjudicate crimes committed by American officials.  In February, 2007, they wrote an Op-Ed in the Post bitterly criticizing Italian officials for indicting 25 CIA agents who had literally kidnapped a Muslim cleric from Italy and "rendered" him from Milan to Egypt.  In that Op-Ed, the Bush-defending duo argued that Italy had no right to prosecute these agents.
