The Council Has Spoken!
http://www.deanesmay.com/posts/1181307374.shtml


   The Watcher's Council has announced its picks for the most outstanding
   posts of the preceding week. The winning Council post was [1]Soccer
   Dad's post, â3 Spies and Six Days'â, an extremely interesting post on
   a subject that I haven't seen explored much before: the role of human
   intelligence in the Six Day War, the fortieth anniversary of which has
   transpired. Second place honors went to another post on the Six Days
   War, [2]Bookworm Room's post, â'The Six Day War in Real Timeâ.

   The winning non-Council post was [3]Dan Simmons's post, âFour Modest
   Proposals For Getting Out of Iraqâ. This is a long, rambling,
   highly-informative post on what's happened in Iraq since the 2003
   invasion and where, when, and how we're going. This post is simply not
   to be missed. I was completely unaware of it before it was nominated
   by the Council and I learned an enormous amount by reading it. Second
   place honors went to [4]History News Networks's post, âSix Day
   War--Israeli Perspectiveâ.

   I voted for both of the winners: they deserved it. I thought the HNN
   article was insipid and, worse, a recap of the author's book so,
   obviously, there were some Council members who saw it otherwise.

   The complete results are [5]here.

      Be sure to read [6]"Four Modest Proposals For Getting Out of Iraq".
      Highly recommended.
