Excellent, a good healthy reaction against the Yahoo/Microsoft possible merger over at flickr.

The Microsoft experience of the web on a mac has always been restricted and controlled (hello MSM & WMV), more of the same is not welcome

from Andrew Sullivan:

Here's a link to the blogs that have discussed the fact that the Bush administration's term "enhanced interrogation" was coined in 1937 to describe exactly the same techniques authorized by Bush, Cheney, Tenet, and Rumsfeld. The term was coined by the Gestapo. The original post, with historical documentation, is here. Please read it. Please send it to others. We have to wake people up to what is being done in their name. There is a better way to get intelligence, and before the goons and thugs of the Bush administration, the U.S. used to practise it. We still can return to honor and excellence in interrogation - instead of shame and failure.
