(Among other things, a hidden video camera recorded an Ecuadoran judge saying he had already decided the case even though evidence was still being submitted.)
Reads like judicial sausage (at least in Eucador) is made the same way as journalistic sausage is made in the U.S.
[Daily Caller] President Obama admitted on Sunday that he "should've anticipated the optics" of golfing just minutes after a sober statement on the brutal beheading of American journalist James Foley by ISIS, noting that "part of this job is also the theater of it." Showing respect would have amounted to theater? Well in that case, thanks for being honest.
Obama sat down Sunday with NBC's new "Meet The Press" host Chuck Todd for a wide-ranging interview that touched on immigration, ISIS and other White House challenges. But Todd made sure to ask about that golf game, a moment that even supporters of the president admitted made him look tone deaf and disengaged. Sorry, no picking this one up from the clean end. It's not simply the look, it's reality.

He's just running out the clock [attempting to not do stupid shi*]. Don't look for any aggressive passing game. Unfortunately, this strategy appears to have begun at the beginning of his second term.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
