Wednesday's Washington Examiner editorial section lineup

August 13, 6:23 AM
 
Examiner Editorial:
That botched SWAT team raid of a local mayor's home by the Prince George's County Sheriff generated national coverage in part because the only casualties were two black Labrador Retrievers. The lesson here ought to be, according to today's Examiner editorial, that law enforcement agencies are becoming too willing to employ massive and deadly military-style force against civilians and it is time for some self-imposed restrictions on the use of SWAT teams.

Ambrose Column:
Examiner columnist Jay Ambrose on liberal Democrats who want to use the FCC's revived Fairness Doctrine to stifle conservative political expression.

Masty's Time Machine:
You think the Beijing Olympics will be the end of such competition this year? Think again because Masty's Time Machine found Susan Creamcheese and the Political Olympics that never end.
