BILL HALL
How bizarre it is that a prime instrument of a mother’s love for her children — one of her pots and pans — has become a creepy instrument of death.
KATHLEEN PARKER
Breaking news: Conservative organizations suddenly have found common cause with one of their favorite objects of contempt — the benighted Mainstream Media.
RICHARD S. DAVIS
Economist Peter Fisher doesn’t think much of business climate studies. And he and the groups he works with hope you agree with them. If you do, they think it will make it much easier for them to convince legislators to raise taxes and expand regulation.
MICHAEL GERSON
Suppose that the Environmental Protection Agency were to admit offhandedly that the fluoridation of water had only modest communist mind-control effects. Or the United Nations were to concede it has been running fleets of black helicopters over American cities, but only in the course of conducting extensive goodwill tours.
THOMAS L. FRIEDMAN
SANAA, YEMEN — If you want to know how bad things can go in Syria, study Iraq. If you want to know how much better things could have gone, study Yemen. Say what? Yemen?
MICHAEL GERSON
In some cases, the fog of war is initially thick, then dissipates. Following the Sept. 11, 2012, Benghazi attacks that killed four Americans including Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens, the facts were initially clear. The fog was a later addition.

Like so many of you, I never got to meet all four of my grandparents. But Alexander Graham Bell has reminded me how the grandchildren of today can have a better idea of their grandparents, even if they have never met them in the flesh.
EUGENE ROBINSON
Those who are trying to make the Benghazi tragedy into a scandal for the Obama administration really ought to decide what story line they want to sell.
KATHLEEN PARKER
Enough with this “enough” business.
MICHAEL GERSON
The Rev. Jim Wallis is a man of the left — perhaps the defining figure of the evangelical left. So it is not surprising that I should find some of the policy views expressed in his new book, “On God’s Side,” badly mistaken. But this does not prevent Wallis from being resoundingly right in his central premise: that American politics would be elevated by a renewed commitment to the common good.
LEONARD PITTS JR.
Brenda Heist wanted to run away from life. Naturally, she went to Key West, Fla.
DAVID BROOKS
The opponents of immigration reform have many small complaints, but they really have one core concern. It’s about control. America doesn’t control its borders. Past reform efforts have not established control. Current proposals wouldn’t establish effective control.
