I have PTSD myself.

(PORTLAND, OR) - The New York Times, Sunday September 30th 2012, had a book review titled “A Surge in New Treatment for Veterans Trauma (PTSD)” by Tina Rosenberg, who unfortunately uses data from the VA and other severally biased Federal agencies about “new treatments” for PTSD.

Dispel the Doubts? What Doubts?

(LONDON) - I am not going to waste my time trying to liberate Palestine by prosecuting Greta Berlin for the offense of – in essence – turning onto a one-way street against the traffic.

Doing so gets a lot of attention, and the drivers heading towards you will say a lot of nasty things. However, it doesn’t necessarily mean that you secretly harbor a desire to sabotage the traffic or that you are part of a movement to end one-way streets.

Who Needs Red Lines: Iran or Israel?
