Watchers of weasels 9/06/06

This week's nominations are in ...

AbbaGav moderates the moderate Ayatollah Khatami's moderate words so we don't have to. It makes it all the more understandable why moderate moonbat, former President Carter would honor moderate former President Khatami's with a meeting.

Done with Mirrors defends Sec of State Rice's assertion that attitudes in today's war on terrror reflect (imperfectly) the attitudes existing during the Civil War.

Education Wonks discusses the tolerance teachers are directed to display when students are being abusive. It's enough to make you swear!

Gates of Vienna write about the attitudes of a Saudi national who was just convicted of abusing his help. She believes him, that he really doesn't think he did anything wrong. That is frightening.

The Glittering Eye looks at New Orleans one year later. It would appear that delays in rebuilding have to do with the local will to do so. He also makes an astute observation about military base closings and the consequences for future disasters.

JoshuaPundit concludes that Jews living in many parts of Western Europe consider leaving, for their own good.

Rhymes with Right demolishes "Dishonorable Don" Richardson, a pretender to the seat once held by Tom DeLay.

Right Wing Nuthouse gives high marks to the NY Times's Jim Dwyer (not the former elite pinch hitter for the Orioles) for debunking 9/11 conspiracy "theorists." 9/11 studies? Sheesh. Though he acknowledges that sweet reason won't likely change the minds of anyone so delusional to embrace some of these "theories."

ShrinkWrapped continues his series on the Information War (against Islamism). For him Part IV presents reasons for optimisim the missteps of the West.

Socratic Rhythm Method considers a paper that wants the law to find bias in actions based on nothing more than results.

Sundries Shack is currently unavailable, hopefully I'll be able to review it later.

UPDATE: An obnoxious commenter points out that former President Khatami is not an Ayatollah. It was his father who was. Pardon my mistake.
