...opposition to torture. Democrats, Republicans, and Independents alike commended McCain for standing up against the current administration to ban the use of torture in the War on Terror. His courage led members of both parties to admire him as a trustworthy leader. For many, that admiration has changed to disbelief and disappointment.McCain has made his choice; he is no longer the trustworthy McCain whom Independents can count on to vote on principle even when that means opposing the leadership of his own Republican Party.

These were originally identified online in the science blog Pharyngula and further instances were found using Turnitin.com, a Web site devoted to plagiarism prevention. He expressed disbelief as to how the article could have been published into a respected, peer-reviewed journal. “Proteomics is a decent, mid-level journal; not the place you would send your very best work, but not someplace you would be embarrassed to publish in, either,” McDonald said...
