To quarantine or not to
quarantine?
New Jersey decided to quarantine a nurse who was treating Ebola
patients in Africa but then changed its mind and let her go. The
Obama administration is discouraging such responses.
U.S. soldiers leaving their mission in Liberia to help with the
anti-Ebola fight are being separated and monitored in Italy.- The
last of U.S. Marines (and NATO troops) in the Helmland province
of Afghanistan have left, though there are still U.S. forces in the
country that will be there for some time. - Our “allies” in Saudi Arabia have sentenced three lawyers for
up to
eight years in jail for tweets that were critical of the
judiciary. - Several former judges are trying to
halt an execution of Mark Christeson scheduled to take place in
Missouri this week. The man’s court-appointed attorneys missed a
filing deadline, resulting in him being denied a federal
review. - A
second teenage girl has died from her injuries from the deadly
Friday school shooting in Marysville, Washington. - As we restlessly anticipate the
midterm elections in a week (or, you know, simply shrug and
click on funny videos elsewhere), Republicans still seem poised to
take over the Senate, with many more options to win than the
Democrats.
