The moral vacuum of Iraq—where Blackwater USA guards can kill 10 or 20 Iraqis on a whim and never be prosecuted for it—did not happen by accident.

With America’s all-volunteer army under strain, the Pentagon and White House knew that regular military cannot be used for guarding civilians....

The media, for the moment, is focused on the extraordinary spectacle of a fellow Texan and Bush loyalist accusing his president of deception and incompetence.

For park rangers, shepherding the country’s last wild bison herd like so many shaggy sheep is a nightmare; the beasts weren’t built to be fenced in. But Yellowstone officials say that if they don’t keep bison in the park, the bison will become buffalo meat. That’s because government livestock officials fear that bison, which carry a disease called brucellosis, may transmit the disease to cattle. (Brucellosis causes pregnant cows to abort, and the bacterium can cause undulant fever in humans, though not from eating cooked beef....
