Bad guy captured
Posted by Peter W. Schramm
This is good news: The Lybian, Abu Farraj al-Libbi, has been arrested in Pakistan. He was the number 3 guy in al Qaeda. Note that he doesn’t look that good in the photo. Chrenkoff
has photos showing the consequences, as he says, of pissing the U.S. off. This is the Washington Post story on the capture.

As long as principals and other school administrators are not accountable for their performance teacher unions and tenure are an ugly necessity. I despise what the teacher unions have done to American education but my wife is a teacher (an excellent one who works 60 to 70 hours a week when school is in session) and I know that administrators can and do abuse their authority for their own purposes.
To protect good teachers, abolishing tenure must be coupled with empowering parents through vouchers to enroll their children in the best school they can find.
Exactly right. Unions may make things worse, and tenure can be abused, but the basic problem is government schools.
