I missed it several days ago when the story of The Lost Archive appeared in the WSJ. 450 rolls of film containing photos of early manuscripts of the Quran, long thought lost in WWII bombings in Germany, have surfaced, and are causing controversy among scholars, including resistance by some to their being examined at all.
Media Matters, an organization formed by Hillary Clinton and funded by leftist sugar daddy George Soros, has finally discovered Chris Matthews' sexism, now that he has been critical of the junior senator from N.Y.

With an assist from John Kerry, Barack Obama is attempting to counter an email that has been widely circulated in recent weeks claiming that Obama is, or has been a Muslim. Kerry has suggested that the charge is analogous to the notorious "Swiftboating" that hurt his electoral prospects in 2004. While it appears Obama has not ever been a practicing Muslim, he might do well to avoid the Kerry comparisons, because despite the popular perception, most of the charges made against Kerry by the Swiftboat Veterans in 2004 have not been disputed, much less discredited.

Ed Morrissey is staying on top of the documents from the 1994 Health Care Task Force that are gradually being released via a Judicial Watch inquiry.

Frank Gaffney cites a recent case that illustrates the potential dangers that the Law of the Sea Treaty poses for U.S. sovereignty.
