North Carolina officials have not yet made a decision on whether to drop sexual assault and attempted kidnapping charges against three Duke University lacrosse players, according to the North Carolina attorney general's office.

| Rep. Ron Paul on War, Peace, and the News Media |
Congressman Ron Paul is a Republican from Texas. An obstetrician by profession, Paul is noted for never voting for legislation unless it is authorized by the U.S. Constitution.

How can one work to counter this tendency to claim that those who question or work to stop a war are unpatriotic? Rep. Ron Paul: It’s very difficult because the executive branch, and particularly the president, always has the bully pulpit. He can say it over and over and over again, and it’s always heard: “If you don’t vote for the money and you don’t support the policy, you don’t support the troops.” ...
