These fighters are sons of bitches. From the Times of London:
Dropping from 10,000ft, they glide in order to land unnoticed. The dogs often carry cameras and are trained to attack anyone carrying a weapon.
“Dogs don’t perceive height difference, so that doesn’t worry them. They’re more likely to be bothered by the roar of the [...]

The Mustang was so undoubtedly the best all-around fighter in World War II that there is virtually no debate on the matter. But the next five? That can be debated. There’s a lot of ways to judge WWII fighters. In this case, I’m going with the “all around” criteria. That means judging the machine’s overall [...]

John Adams, American Founder and talented lawyer, represented the British soldiers prosecuted for the “Boston Massacre”. There has been a move — successfully — to get the Obama DOJ to release the names of seven political appointees in the Attorney General’s office who voluntarily represented Gitmo detainees — aka captured member of al-Qaeda.
