Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- Waking up to torture truths — chicagotribune.com – There’s the bottom line in the bottom two paragraphs: if “it works” is the real reason, what line can ever be drawn, and on what moral basis other than self-interest and survival?
- ACLJ Out Front of Another Bogus Controversy – It’s difficult to tell whether these guys are sincerely paranoid, or just out to drum up trouble.
- ADF Offers Free Legal Representation to Those Who Refuse to Recognize Iowa’s Gay Marriages – Is it really their position that issuing a civil marriage license to a gay couple constitutes a violation of religious conscience? Is there a particular reason why that couldn’t also apply to issuing marriage licenses to mixed-race couples, or couples of a faith not that of the county clerk, or couples who seem too young, or whatever other conscientious whim might seize the clerk in question?
- How Twitter, Digg and Social Media Are Going to Save Iraq – It’s hardly a panacea, but it can’t hurt (flame wars becoming actual wars fought with flame aside).
- A moment of silence for GeoCities – I used GeoCities very early on. It’s a shame to see it go, no matter how zany its remaining denizens had become.
- Time Warner Cable Cannot *Possibly *Compete With The Small City Of Wilson, NC [Monopolies] – If you can’t beat ’em, try and get ’em outlawed.
- Shimkus: Capping CO2 a greater ‘assault on democracy’ than 9/11. – Remarkably reality-challenged.
