Independent: "British soldiers risking death in Afghanistan and Iraq are being paid about half the national minimum wage. The troops, facing daily attacks in Helmand and Basra, and suffering a rising toll of dead and injured, are among Britain's lowest paid workers."

VillageVoice: "The first judge to strike down the National Security Agency's secret warrantless surveillance program and the corollary lawlessness of its enabler, George W. Bush, continues to have her judicial competence derided by certain law professors, including some who support her basic finding but complain that her ruling had too much passion and insufficient legal analysis.
'She was right as a matter of law ... [and showed] a good deal of courage for a judge to hold unlawful a program that the President of the United States maintains is essential to the national security.'
Now Judge Taylor has resoundingly told the National Security Agency and the president that they are forbidden to use their surveillance powers in ways prohibited by the Constitution. Her face may never be on a postage stamp, but she surely is a daughter of the Constitution."

BaltimoreSun: "Passengers at Miami International Airport soon will be scrutinized by many sets of eyes, beyond federal security officers and police.
If officials have their way, all 35,000 of the airport's workers - including janitors, skycaps, even Starbucks coffee servers - will be trained to watch travelers for suspicious movements. At other airports, such training is typically limited to security and law enforcement officers, though Boston's Logan Airport has offered similar instructions to hundreds of ticket agents, curbside attendants and other workers."
