Redacted truth, subjunctive outrage
By CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER | 5/17
WASHINGTON -- WASHINGTON -- On Benghazi and other Obama administration scandals, stop the talk of Watergate, Iran-contra, bigger than both, etc. Hyperbole simply plays into the hands of Democrats desperately claiming this is nothing but partisan politics. Let the facts speak for themselves.

Graduation prayer, fighting over a lost cause

The action came soon after the district received a complaint letter from the Freedom From Religion Foundation objecting to prayers at previous graduations. Rather than drop the prayers, the district opted to drop the entire ceremony.

Government’s heavy hand
By MICHAEL GERSON | 5/16
WASHINGTON -- WASHINGTON -- If there is any thread that unites the three latest scandals, it is government heavy-handedness. Seizing the phone records of, say, three editors and reporters would constitute a leak investigation. Seizing the phone records of perhaps 100 is a fishing expedition and a form of intimidation.
