Here are 150+ more URL's about the war, including extensive coverage of debates over US war strategy, response to the anthrax attacks, privacy controversies, nuclear security, recession politics, the Muslim world, and fashionable political jargon. Thanks to everyone who contributed. This is the last of these biweekly collections of URL's that I'm going to send out. It's gotten to be too much. I'm talking with people about tools for putting these Web-filtering lists together more easily. I'll probably have more on that topic soon.
