Stephen Paschall, lawyer for Pittsburgh minister Janet Edwards. A church court dismissed charges against Edwards, because they had been filed four days after the statute of limitations expired.
"Does it seem ironic to you that people who distrust Syria are now believing Syrian
press releases?" Rick Warren, calling official Syrian news agency reports about his trip to the country "ridiculous" and responding to conservatives who criticized his reported support of the Syrian government.

"By excusing the behavior of the Republican Party, Christian conservatives set the party up for
the 2006 defeat." Ken Connor, former president of the Family Research Council and now chairman of the Center for a Just Society.
