Oklahoma style justice hitched to a rejected attorney general pick
Jacob Sullum reviews Oklahoma Governor Frank Keating’s handling of Will Foster’s case. Foster, a 42 year old computer programmer, faced 93 years for marijuana possession with intent to distribute and related charges after early 1990s law, despite parole board pleas and evolving views on medical marijuana. Keating repeatedly denied parole, citing anti drug laws and Foster’s public statements, while Foster argued for family hardship and personal reform. Reason magazine contributor notes Keating’s stance reflects Oklahoma’s justice approach and hints at broader libertarian concerns.

Internet Protection Act blocks minors but misses local control
Stephen Chapman argues the Children's Internet Protection Act overreaches by forcing schools and libraries receiving federal funds to use blocking software. He notes filters fail, vary by community, and threaten local decision making, urging parental consent and in-library monitoring as viable alternatives.
