Morning Matters

• Yes, there are still innocent people at Gitmo.
  
• Joshua Claybourn summarizes why the Chrysler deal brokered by the Obama administration is much, much scarier than you think.
• Retired Catholic archbishop says he was unaware of the fact that it’s illegal to have sex with children.
  
• Cop drives 109 in a 45 mph zone, no lights, no siren. Wasn’t wearing his seat belt, either. He plows into a pick-up truck trying to make a left turn. Cop dies. Police arrest the driver of the pick-up for failing to yield to an emergency vehicle. They’ve also charged the guy with DUI, even though his blood test came back at .03, less than half the legal limit.
• Congressmen from Ohio and Oklahoma introduce bill to ban gay marriage in D.C.
• Another write-up in the local Mississippi paper about the Motorhome Diaries incident. This one’s much more sympathetic to the MHD crew.
• Amen to Mario Rizzo: “I do not believe that the philosophy of freedom has much to do, in an essential way, with conservatism. The relationship is largely due to historical accident. Furthermore, analytically speaking, the moral, political and economic basis of freedom does not fit coherently in the conservative intellectual framework.”
