Yarbrough: Mexican border is entry point for terrorists
The next time the illegal immigration advocates start whining about the poor Mexican workers coming into the United States to "do jobs we won't do" and to "make a better life for their families," please inform them that the porous borders between lawless Mexico and the United States are also letting in drugs at a scale almost beyond description, and that Atlanta is a major distribution hub.

FBI: Crime rates down for third year

Editorial: Amended crime scene bill creates problem
It was in the finest tradition of representative government that state Sen. Donzella James, D-Atlanta, proposed an amendment to a House bill restricting public access to some crime scene photos.

Cinema File: It'd be a crime to miss these at Christmas
It was almost a Norman Rockwell scene in my house this past Sunday night. My wife stood on a chair putting ornaments on our tree as I fastened multicolored lights around our windows. We had a nice, warm fire going. Our two dogs cuddled up close to one another on their pillow. And blaring from our television set were the sounds of gunshots, police sirens and enough loudly spoken profanities to make a sailor blush. Why on Earth would anyone ruin such an otherwise idyllic holiday scene this way? Because our favorite Christmas movies just happen to be R-rated comedies about criminals.

The consequences of politicizing crime
It's over for Mike Huckabee. His presidential hopes will not survive revelations that as governor of Arkansas he had commuted the long prison term of the now-dead Maurice Clemmons, suspected of gruesomely murdering four police officers in Lakewood, Wash.
