Blogs have a few successes in harrying miscreant politicians or newspapers, but they are a vehicle for perpetuating myths as much as correcting them.
A fine piece by David Aaronovitch in The Times begins with a surely unexceptionable observation: "One of the more tragic aspects of the demise of Slobodan Milosevic is that the international committee to defend him will now have to be wound up."
The issue that David raises is one that he, the writer Francis Wheen and I have spent much time in examining and pursuing since The Guardian published its demonstrably incorrect 'correction' to the interview with Chomsky.

In 1994, Saudi nationals gave some $150 million to Islamic charities in Bosnia, many of which were implicated in terrorism, according to a cia document; in September 2002, Canadian intelligence indicated that Saudi charities were still supplying al-Qaeda with between $1 million and $2 million a month.
U.S. Department of Treasury general counsel David Aufhauser later testified before a Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Terrorism, Technology and Homeland Security that Saudi Arabia is "in many cases … the epicenter" of terrorist financing.

 CNS - Controversy in Germany: Siemens Sale of MOX Plant to China - December 12, 2003 - Research Story of the Week
Although the plans for the facility were approved by local and national officials at the start of construction, by the time the facility was near completion, the political climate in both the state and federal governments had changed.
Since the report of the deal first broke, German politicians and experts have claimed that Beijing's intentions were dubious since the Hanau facility would have little civilian value to China.
While some German politicians may have well-founded political and ethical reasons for wanting to deny the sale of the Siemens facility to China, fears that the deal will contribute to nuclear weapon proliferation appear to be overblown.

 Miles, M. 2005. "Deaf People Living and Communicating in African Histories, c. 960s - 1960s."
David and colleagues traced the inheritance of deafness in Adamorobe family trees: "in one or two we could see how a normal family became affected by one disastrous, old great grandmother" (David, 1972).
Every morning a short lesson is given to all the boys to enable them to communicate with the two mute lads." [13] This unusual example of 'inclusion' suggests that a recognised SL existed and was taught to deaf and hearing alike, 40 years before 'official' education for deaf children began in Nigeria.
Wright mentions another deaf person, Michael Sutton, with whom he was at school in England, whom he considered (in 1989) "the most famous and sought-after architect in South Africa", and a phenomenal lip-reader (Wright, pp.

Asking the electorate to turn out a politician is like going for a job interview and asking the interviewer to fire an employee in order to hire you.

Centuries ago, David Hume argued that one can only separate designed from non-designed entities via experiential comparison and contrast.
Hence, since we only have one universe, we have no point of reference to argue that the universe is designed (or not designed).
Examples include Sewall Wright's "shifting-balance theory", Eldredge and Gould's "punctuated equilibrium theory", the theory of common descent, Darwin's "descent with modification", and Henry Fairfield Osborn's "orthogenesis".
