Climate Scientists Subverted Peer Review | Patrick J. Michaels | Cato Institute: Commentary: "paint a picture of IPCC boffins committing science's capital crime: Trying to game the peer-reviewed literature, which is akin to editing what goes in the Bible."

So that isn't "scientific" and anything based on it must be reviewed to determine if it can stand without that support.

"The last IPCC compendium on climate science, published in 2007, left out plenty of peer-reviewed science that it found inconveniently disagreeable."

Time to Leave | Christopher Preble | Cato Institute: Commentary: "As Obama's national security adviser, Gen. James Jones, noted in October, 'The al-Qaeda presence (in Afghanistan) is very diminished. The maximum estimate is less than 100 operating in the country, no bases, no ability to launch attacks on either us or our allies.' We don't need 100,000 soldiers in Afghanistan chasing down 100 al-Qaeda fighters."

The Cold Heart of Obamacare | Nat Hentoff | Cato Institute: Commentary: "In this country, bureaucrats keeping tabs on patients — without actually seeing them and their condition — will mean, as Tanner notes, that 'every time a doctor decides on a treatment, he or she would have to ask: 'Does the government think I'm doing this too much? Will I be penalized if I order this test?''"

"Clinical studies routinely exclude patients with more than one medical condition and often the elderly or people on multiple medications. Conclusions about what works and what doesn't work change much too quickly for policymakers to dictate clinical practice."

"We do not elect the president and Congress to decide how short our lives will be. That decision is way above their pay grades."
