It also happens to be one of the most successful scientific theories in history, whose predictions of what should be found in the fossil record have been proven out? for the zillionth time...
...District Attorney Michael Nifong has not helped the situation and has exacerbated the atmosphere by making public inflammatory remarks about the players. Ultimately, this case is solely about an alleged rape. As in any crime, the defendants deserve a trial by a jury in which they are innocent until proven guilty.

...start of “Operation Iraqi Freedom.” That disastrous invasion was justified by a misinformation campaign full of stories about Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction, links with al-Qaeda, and human rights violations. Three years later, the first two accusations have proven spurious, and the U.S.’s credibility to address the third issue has become deeply suspect. Abuses in Iraq are, as a top human rights UN official in the country recently argued, “certainly as bad” and extend “over a much wider...
