  • The Real McCain

    Ari Berman : Campaigns & Elections

    John McCain is a war hero, a sometime Democratic ally, a crusader for campaign finance reform. But the centrist maverick will most likely take a turn to the right if he wants to get to the White House.

  • Intolerable Cruelty

    David Cole : Human Rights

    If the US is to prevail in the war on terror, we must do it by distinguishing ourselves from the enemy. Torture and degrading treatment are as morally evil as terrorism, because they brutally disregard the value of human life.

  • Abramoff's Last Stand

    Ari Berman : Lobbies/PACs

    Senator John McCain's latest Senate inquiry into über-lobbyist Jack Abramoff strikes deep in the corrupt heart of the Bush Administration.

  • Torture on the Hill

    : Senate

    War crimes are the darkest expression of the moral degradation that permeates the White House. Bush's threat to veto the Senate's anti-torture measure frames a crisis of law and legitimacy.
