For as long as the cold war lasted, the history of the conservative movement before about 1955 – the history of what I call the Old Right – was for the most part ignored: when they talked about it at all, historians of both the left and the right invariably...
The utter hypocrisy and outright evil of the "war crimes" trials being conducted in the Balkans these days is epitomized by the Croatian court trying Fikret Abdic for alleged "crimes against humanity." It is a story in which everything is inverted: in which the West,...
The saga of the Bytyqi brothers, covered in my last column, is an object lesson in how the War Party exploits every opportunity, no matter how dubious, to make propaganda for their cause. It also epitomizes how the media cooperate, allowing themselves to be used as a...
In digging up evidence that Slobodan Milosevic isn't exactly Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm, the International Criminal Tribunal for War Crimes in the Former Yugoslavia (ICTFY) may be uncovering more than it bargained for – evidence of American covert operations that...

I could hardly believe my eyes. Reading an Associated Press story, "Racak Witness Prepares Testimony," by Colleen Barry, I wondered: 'Are they really going to haul out that long-since discredited story – again? <<Sigh>> I knew, the moment news of...
