		<description><![CDATA[If "ZDT" justifies torture, a new GQ exploration of the CIA vaccine ploy prompts troubling questions ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The fraught debate around "Zero Dark Thirty" has largely focused on whether the film justifies torture in suggesting that the CIA gleaned information relevant to the hunt for Osama bin Laden through torturing detainees. The fact that torture did not provide significant leads in the hunt is one important thing. The fact that the CIA profligately tortured under the assumption that it might is quite another.</p><p>A central point the movie raises is that the hunt for bin Laden was considered an unquestionable political good. (It still is: were it not, the depiction in a film of bin Laden's death arising from the fruits of horrific torture could not be seen as justifying the torture). There's a telling, underdiscussed scene in the middle of the sprawling epic in which the protagonist Maya threatens her CIA boss when he refuses to dedicate more resources to her bin Laden hunt efforts. She says she will go public and tell Congress that he had derailed the search for the world's most-wanted terrorist. She essentially asks "Do you want to be that guy?" He gives in to Maya's request, knowing that anything but full dedication to catching bin Laden in the public eye would be political suicide.</p><p><a href="http://www.salon.com/2013/01/11/the_fake_vaccination_scheme_absent_from_the_bin_laden_hunt_debates/">Continue Reading...</a></p>]]></content:encoded>

		<description><![CDATA[A new children's book introduces kids to the "wonderful world of illness" ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Measles is responsible for thousands of tragic (and preventable) <a href="http://www.aljazeera.com/news/asia/2013/01/20131282648859762.html" target="_blank">deaths</a> each year. Which is perhaps why so many reviewers are panning a new (and <a href="http://www.trafford.com/">apparently self-published</a>) book by Stephanie Messenger, an Australian author and anti-vaccine activist. According to the author's <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/1466938897/ref=tsm_1_fb_lk" target="_blank">page</a>, "Melanie's Marvelous Measles" was written to:</p><blockquote><p>Educate children on the benefits of having measles and how you can heal from them naturally and successfully. Often today, we are being bombarded with messages from vested interests to fear all diseases in order for someone to sell some potion or vaccine, when, in fact, history shows that in industrialized countries, these diseases are quite benign and, according to natural health sources, beneficial to the body. Having raised three children vaccine-free and childhood disease-free, I have experienced many times when my children's vaccinated peers succumb to the childhood diseases they were vaccinated against.</p></blockquote><p><a href="http://www.salon.com/2013/01/07/anti_vaccine_book_tells_kids_to_embrace_measles/">Continue Reading...</a></p>]]></content:encoded>
