FILE - In this June 25, 2014 file photo Bart Peterson, left, and Pete McNamara are married by Marion County Clerk Beth White in Indianapolis after a federal judge struck down a state ban on same-sex marriage. Same-sex marriage bans in both Indiana and Wisconsin were overturned in June and then appealed by the attorneys generals of both states. A U.S. appeals court in Chicago ruled Thursday, Sept. 4, 2014 that gay marriage bans in Wisconsin and Indiana violate the U.S. Constitution — thereby bumping the number of states where gay marriage will be legal from 19 to 21.

Inside the Beltway: The Bergdahl rescue — right or wrong?

By Jennifer Harper - The Washington Times

FILE - This image taken from video obtained from Voice Of Jihad Website, authenticated based on its contents and other AP reporting, shows men in civilian clothing leading Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, in white, towards a helicopter in eastern Afghanistan. Bergdahl was freed on May 31, 2014, in exchange for five Afghan detainees held in the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Two American values, never leave a man behind and never negotiate with terrorists, collided in the Bergdahl calamity. Each ethos runs deep in the American conscience, yet has been violated through history and notably in the age of terrorism, where traditional standards of warfare, spying and negotiating are run through a hall of mirrors.
