Two links of note, both from multiple sources:
"Believe Me, It's Torture". Christopher Hitchens voluntarily underwent waterboarding in order to evaluate and write about the experience. I haven't finished the article yet, because his description was very, and appropriately, disturbing.
A scientist prevails over creationists who challenge his work without bothering to read it (and go on to, among other outrageous statements, demand 'stewardship' over part of his bacterial colony). A bonus: "Some exceptionally clear thinking on science and religion" from Professor Lenski's webpage. He must be overwhelmed with fanmail, or I'd write him approvingly.
