Alabama's lethal injection chamber at Holman Correctional Facility in Atmore, 2002. AP Photo/Dave Martin Recently, several states, including Nevada, have introduced bills that cite legal costs as one of the reasons for ending the death penalty. National trends show the death penalty is being sought and imposed less frequently. There is also ample evidence that the costs for seeking and administering the death penalty have increased significantly since the 1980s. As our recent studies have revealed, this is the case in both Oregon and Washington. The findings clearly show that the c... more »
Peace dividends of military alliances go farther than you'd think

Armed forces in Iraq, January 2017. In life, we often find the friend of a friend likable. In a recent study, our interdisciplinary team of researchers found that this logic applies to military alliances as well. The study – produced by a team of researchers with combined expertise in political science, statistics, mathematics, physics and network science – shows that the impact of alliances extends beyond those countries directly involved. Allies of allies – and allies of allies of allies – are more likely to have peaceful relations. Less likely to go to war Conventional wisdom ... more »

*THURSDAY, MARCH 30, 2017No, but clear thinking is:* In recent weeks, we've started to wonder about the quality of the help President Obama received. It started with Alyssa Mastromonaco, the former Obama aide who, just to be totally fair, is already peddling a book. We blanched at one or two cable appearances, then gagged at the way she complained about Kellyanne Conway, who had dared to put her feet on an Oval Office couch. To hear her bellyache, kvetch and complain, click here, then jump to 13:30. Color us less than impressed. It started with Mastromonaco. Today, we were struck... more »

Choosing sides -- fighting autarchy
Okay, this one will be reflective, if a little bit fierce. And see below how some folks are citing my novel The Postman as (alas) prescient about our current messes. But let's start with news that could be important: let's pray this is the beginning of the end of an utter-evil insanity called gerrymandering. See where I analyzed gerrymandering, for years. There are countless ways to fix this vile crime and treason... including a few you'll read nowhere else. One approach would solve it without any need for "impartial commissions" or taking sovereignty away from state legislatures. ... more »

THIS IS HOW HE LOSES THEM: TRUMP REJECTS WINGNUTTERY AND ALIENATES HIS BASE
Until now, I've believed that Donald Trump could hold on to his base even if his presidency continued to be a miserable failure. He'd do it the way he's always done it: by expressing anger at the people his base hates. He wouldn't have to get much done -- he could just point to the occasional hiring decision by a big company, or an ICE raid here and there, and insist he was winning. And the base would believe him. In between real or imaginary victories, he'd just keep pouring on the hate. But he's flirting with disaster now. I say this not because Obamacare repeal failed (that can b... more »

Violence In Iraq, March 15-21, 2017
The number of security incidents dipped in Iraq during the third week of March 2017, but casualties remained relatively the same from the week before. There were 142 incidents reported in the press from March 15-21, down from 170 the week before, and 179 the first week of March. The dip in violence might be a result of the stalemate in the battle for Mosul. The government forces have been stuck in the Old City section of west Mosul for the last few weeks leading to fewer clashes with the Islamic State. The third week of February when the assault upon west Mosul began there were 7... more »

NATO Wants to Bring Us ‘As Close as Humanly Possible’ to War
The Senate vote to admitting Montenegro to NATO was not at all about US security or the US national interest, according to the Senators who voted for it. It was all about Russia. It was all about the "Russian threat." It's all about creating momentum for new NATO members even close to Russia, like Ukraine or Georgia.

A Look At President Trump's Proposed Defense Budget
*Will Edwards, Cipher Brief*: *Sizing Up the Trump Defense Budget* President Donald Trump’s defense budget proposal for fiscal year 2018 calls for $54 billion in additional spending, but it is not yet clear where this new funding will come from or what it will be used for. The proposed increase builds on spending hikes planned by the outgoing Obama administration, but it is publicly unpopular. In a recent poll, 58 percent of Americans said they opposed the increase. The size and complexity of the defense budget makes it a lightning rod for disagreements, which can ultimately work ... more »

Despair in White, Middle-Aged America
A fascinating new study by Anne Case and her husband, Nobel Prize winner Angus Deaton, looks at the rising level of morbidity and mortality among middle-aged white, non-Hispanic men and women in the United States. This recent increase reverses decades of progress made as mortality rates for middle-aged Americans fell over the decades prior to the 1990s. Here is a summary of their findings. Let's open with a definition of mortality rate: *Mortality rate is the measure of the number of deaths in a population (in this study, per 100,000 people) per unit of time (in this study, a yea... more »

Not much science will get done without the money to fund people and equipment. Michael Pereckas, CC BY Science funding is intended to support the production of new knowledge and ideas that develop new technologies, improve medical treatments and strengthen the economy. The idea goes back to influential engineer Vannevar Bush, who headed the U.S. Office of Scientific Research and Development during World War II. And the evidence is that science funding does have these effects. But, at a practical level, science funding from all sources supports research projects, the people who work... more »
