Carelessness in border security could invite terrorists
The El Paso Times argues for diligent passport cross checks at entry points to the United States. A federal study shows immigration officials often fail to verify foreign visitors against terrorist watch lists, a lapse with potentially deadly consequences. The editorial says a robust homeland-defense plan requires thorough document checks alongside patrols and other measures.

Enron tax avoidance shows need to simplify code
The Fort Worth Star-Telegram notes Enron paid no income taxes in four of five years and claimed 382 million in refunds by using 881 offshore subsidiaries including 692 in the Cayman Islands. It argues the tax code is bloated and rife with opportunities to cheat and calls for major simplification to curb evasion and cut compliance costs.

Mona Charen argues against liberal attacks on Charles Pickering, noting his 1967 testimony against the Ku Klux Klan, his later role as a federal judge, and his work with the Institute of Racial Reconciliation at Ole Miss. She defends his balanced civil rights record, cites a 1990 misstep denial, and recounts Pickering’s actions defending an interracial couple in a retrial.

There’s no room for Arafatistan in peace talks
Feder argues against a Palestinian state living with Israel, warning that Arafat remains committed to a one state solution. He cites Rabbinic incitement, the Karine A arms shipment as war, and Netanyahu’s demilitarized vision. A poll shows distrust of peace and widespread opposition to Palestinian statehood. Feder writes from the Boston Herald.
