"These conservatives are arguing that the world's 1.2 billion Muslims cannot be trusted to govern themselves. That's not what I call loving freedom." Eugene Robinson writes on the Washington Post's Opinion section today. True, this is an op-ed column and we have mainly discussed news in class. But still.

Although the article seems to make a praiseworthy effort by quoting several sources, you can see just on this last sentence how the connection between sentences and the flow of the argument is missing.
