Call me naive, but I didn't even think loyalty oaths still existed in 2008. Does anyone really believe that they do any good? This story sounds like some kind of liberal hoax, but apparently it really happened.

Lantos will be familiar to anyone who's seen Spielberg's Holocaust documentary, "Last Days," as well as anyone who's followed human-rights debates in Congress over the past thirty years. His death (from esophageal cancer, at age 80) is a real loss.

Ho hum. Once again, the White House censors the presentation of scientific data. Hello? America? Anyone paying attention out there? The funny thing is, this time they said they did it because the CDC testimony conflicts with the IPCC report, which it does
