Answers desperately needed in Boyle kidnapping saga

Joshua Boyle wants to know what went wrong during his purported humanitarian mission in Afghanistan that he considered to be so safe he brought along his very pregnant wife, despite admittedly diving deep into 'enemy' territory.But Angelo Persichilli writes that he wants to know why Mr. Boyle felt safe in the country and who was supposed to protect him there?

Bamiyan Valley, Afghanistan. Questions continue to emerge on why Canadian Joshua Boyle travelled deep into Afghanistan territory controlled by the Taliban along with his very pregnant wife, American Caitlan Coleman, some five years ago, after the couple and their three children were freed from their Taliban-linked kidnappers earlier this month.

U.S. President Donald Trump deployed 700 Marines to Los Angeles in reaction to protests against his immigration raids. That is in addition to his federalizing thousands of California National Guard members for the same purpose. Photograph courtesy of Flickr/The White House.

Trump shamelessly uses U.S. military to do his bidding in Los Angeles 

OpinionBY MICHAEL HARRIS
  • These protesters passionately disagree with Trump’s ruthless round-up, detention, and deportation of hundreds of immigrants to a prison in El Salvador. This is the heart of the matter. Trump doesn’t like Gavin Newsom. He doesn’t like California, the most Democratic state in the country. And he doesn’t like anyone who stands up to him.
