Hi Henrik and all,
Thanks for this useful summary. In the greatest
of hopes that nobody will associate me with the
following link, I also happened upon the
following rebuttal on the minority page of the
Senate EPW Committee:
http://epw.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?FuseAction=Minority.Blogs&ContentRecord_id=58659aa0-802a-23ad-49d7-3d18075e69c3
Don't forget the handy "related links" at the
bottom of the page. Consider it all beach reading
for the last two weeks of August. Or not, if you
are looking for a pleasant break.
Best,
-Charlie
