Never mind that Keflezighi is an American citizen. Never mind that he's lived in the United States for 22 years. Never mind that he has raced for the United States in the Olympics.

The second part of my interview with Daniel Ellsberg, the true American hero who leaked the Pentagon Papers in 1971.

I was enthralled by The Most Dangerous Man in America, and when I was told that Ellsberg would be in Los Angeles for a week in late September and would be available for an interview, I jumped at the chance.

If we envision a nuclear-free world, the agreement reached by Medvedev and Obama to reduce their nations' nuclear arsenals to 1,500 warheads can easily seem minimalist in the extreme.

Mousavi was always more open to dialogue with the West. If president, his discourse could now include the nuclear program with much less fear of attack.

President Obama knows the United States has been losing these wars and also knows the terrible impact these wars have had on a group of people when they are labeled and targeted.

In light of the fact that it's so dark in the field of civil liberties that we can't even see our hands, the solitary star deserted its red field leaving the official organ of the Party with its marked absence on the front page.

The right and Republicans have found an enemy far more terrifying than terrorism. It's insidious. It's dangerous. It's un-American. It's, it's nationalization! Oh, the horror!

Sarah Palin's rise shows there is still an appetite in America for charismatic leadership devoid of political substance; for a pretty face, a down home manner, and a torrent of distorted attacks.

What a thrill to have as a President-elect a man who speaks in whole sentences, who has well-enunciated thoughts, a readily accessible grasp of history -- and a sense of humor to boot.

Hard-right nationalism is a monster now fully emerged in America, and to ignore it or simply ridicule it would be a grave mistake and a missed opportunity.

I once again see the potential and power of literature, and hope to tell new and necessary stories. As activists, we must not lose sight of art. Here are some questions I posed to Aleksandar Hemon.

Why was Obama waxing patriotic during his foreign trip instead of touting a universal spirituality that removes the need to make cultural and political distinctions?

Jonah Goldberg continues to demonstrate how the right-wing is manipulating public discourse in order to confuse and conflate patriotism with rabid nationalism.

This urgency for homogenization of thought doesn't seem to be as unifying as it is fascist. There is no conflict between seeking the truth and honoring those killed in the Chinese earthquake.
