A Veteran Gives Voice to Guantanamo Case

John Gibbons, a retired GOP appointee to the 3rd Circuit and name partner in a corporate law firm, seems an unlikely advocate for Guantanamo Bay detainees' rights.

Counterfeit Drugs Create a Bitter Pill for Patients Overseas

In the United States, the most commonly counterfeited drugs are "lifestyle" medicines like Viagra, but in poor countries, it's the life-saving drugs that are fakes.
