Our View Pork adds to terrorism bill despite war needs
The editorial condemns Congress for loading a $28.9 billion anti-terrorism package with pork barrel projects.

Treatment of Jews shapes U.S. stance on Israel says Prager
Dennis Prager argues that Christian support for Israel stems from Genesis verses about blessing the Jews. He cites Falwell and Focus on the Family, notes anti Jewish sentiment in Europe and the Arab world, and asserts the United States has historically blessed the Jews more than any nation. He hosts a syndicated radio show from Los Angeles and authored four books.
