...Making sure the donors were fully informed about their decision to donate was a priority for Harvard University's institutional review board, which took "more than two years of thoughtful, intensive review" before approving the studies, according to Harvard Provost Dr. Steven Hyman. Last year's scandal over the South Koreans' similar studies also weighed heavily on the board, and will continue to inform the researchers as their studies begin. "We certainly realize that all eyes [are] upon us," said Eggan. The approval process eventually involved four other institutes, including Boston IVF, where the egg donors will be recruited, Children...
...function, constituents intervened in support of a two-committee structure. Ultimately, the UC relented, CLC was scrapped, and next year students will elect just two representatives to serve their respective districts. It has been an exciting year for the UC. In the midst of more-than-the-usual waste, scandal, corruption, and self-absorption, the UC managed to carry out a number of important advocacy goals and structural reforms that will, we hope, make a positive difference to undergraduates next year.

Seth Jones, a Rand counterinsurgency analyst, finds the involvement of the Marines in the scandal disturbing. "They have tended to be better able to understand counterinsurgency tactics and the importance of winning popular support--and not just kinetic operations," he says...
...built-in propensity to believe that many, or most, Iraqis killed by U.S. forces were innocent victims of oppression. That is especially true in the Sunni triangle, but many Shi'ites believe it too, especially those who follow the radical anti-American cleric Muqtada al-Sadr. The Abu Ghraib scandal merely confirmed what they had suspected all along, that George Bush's soldiers were no different from Saddam's. Haditha was simply more of the same. But the possibility that Americans may be punished for killing Iraqis--that, at least, is new. Saddam's soldiers were rarely brought to justice...
