...comes after months of protests within the prison's walls over a string of reported abuses--including the 2002 deaths of two inmates at the hands of U.S. troops. The International Red Cross praised the policy change, although other human-rights advocates argued that the new guidelines do not go far enough. Detainees are currently not allowed to meet with lawyers or have access to the charges against them. Under the new rules, a military official will be assigned to examine the evidence in each case every six months...
...years is a long time on the Internet - longer than Wikipedia has even existed. Michael Snow, the foundation's chairman, says he's got a "fair amount of confidence" that Wikipedia will go on. It remains a precious resource - a completely free journal available to anyone and the model for a mode of online collaboration once hailed as revolutionary. Still, Wikipedia's troubles suggest the limits of Web 2.0 - that when an idealized community gets too big, it starts becoming dysfunctional. Just like every other human organization...
...crap about not believing in science, the left isn't crazy about it either.

Which is multiple sclerosis. I respond to what I see." She added that she doesn't worry about improbable scenarios like infected children biting each other, saying simply...
...Google and Wikipedia, we still receive almost all of our information through our peers. I believe in evolution not because I've read Darwin but because everyone I know thinks it's true. When presented with doubts, I don't search for detailed information from my side. I go with the consensus of mainstream media, academia and the government. Not because they're always right but because they're right far more often than not, and I have a TiVo to watch. Also, unlike antivaccination people, they usually shut up after a little while...
