Council speak 11/10/2006

A few days late and just before the new entries are announced, here are the results of last week's voting. The full results are here.

The winning post was Right Wing Nuthouse's Irony so Thick You Can Bathe In It about the revelations that Saddam had was actively pursuing a nuclear program and the outrage that this was revealed. Right Wing Nuthouse gores the oxen on both sides.

Tied for second place were Why Not Turkey? by American Future and Damned Fools by Done with Mirrors. The former examines the contradictory free and not-so-free impulses demonstrated by the modern Turkish government. The latter is, essentially, the previous week's You would weep updated for the present and shows a foolish American consistency when it comes to confronting our enemies.

In the non-council section, Rants and Raves received the tiebreaking vote of the Watcher for the Demand for Perfection that illustrates the fallacy of allowing the better becoming the enemy of the good. (Or however you wish to say it.)

The runner up was Q and O's Discussing the developing role of the media during times of war, which is a commentary on James Q. Wilson's excellent The Press at War.

As always, if this looks like and you have a blog and you'd like to participate to get yourself some added exposure, click here and learn how you can get your post considered.
