Il Duce Giuliani Has Decided Waterboarding is Torture
If the people who do it aren't U.S. government employees. Writes Andrew Sullivan: He tells the truth about what Bush and Cheney believe.

The new version of Ubuntu called "Gutsy Gibbon" just came out and it has plenty of good stuff. As usual the 'main' release is based on GNOME (v2.2), but a KDE version (Kubuntu), a Xfce version (Xubuntu, for older machines, a very elegant desktop manager) and even a non-official Fluxbox version (Fluxbuntu, available in 2 days, superfast and light).
