Actually, Reason is a libertarian magazine published by the Reason Foundation, a free-market think tank based in L.A. (To give you a taste of its ethos,the mag's tag line reads, "Free minds and free markets." ) Given the extent of the magazine's online edition and the rapidity in which it responds to daily news events, it's easy to see why some think of it as closer to a print-news publication.

For those interested in well-written and researched criticism, Reason consistently delivers a depth of insight into U.S. politics and culture that has few rivals in general interest publications. (I've been a print subscriber since 1986..)

James Bovard, the author of the above-linked article, is a long-time commentator on the topic of governmental waste and abuse of power. If you enjoyed this article, check out his book, "Terrorism and Tyranny: Trampling Freedom, Justice, and Peace to Rid the World of Evil."
