	Mackubin Thomas Owens on Jim Webb on National Review Online
		Webb is the man who time and again stood on the front lines of the culture war that still rages between those who served during the Vietnam era and those who didn't, a culture war that played a major role in the recent election.
		Webb is no knee-jerk Bush hater, and his opposition to the Iraq war is based on strategic considerations — he is concerned that by committing such a large force there for an extended period of time we have weakened ourselves in the long run against a rising China.
		Webb's New York Times op-ed of January 18, "Purple Heartbreakers," was a clear harbinger of his break with the Republican party.

		Gary Webb's work deserved to be taken seriously and to be closely scrutinized precisely because of the scope of his allegations.

	Water, Energy, and Biogeochemical Budgets (WEBB)
		The U.S. Geological Survey initiated the Water, Energy, and Biogeochemical Budgets (WEBB) program in 1991 to understand the processes controlling water, energy, and biogeochemical fluxes over a range of temporal and spatial scales and to understand the interactions of these processes, including the effect of atmospheric and climatic variables.
		Five small research watersheds were selected, in part because they had existing long-term research data sets on which the WEBB program could build, and in part to be geographically and ecologically diverse and represent a range of hydrologic and climatic conditions.
		WEBB research is also being conducted in the Río Grande de Loiza basin, an urbanized and agriculturally developed watershed near the Experimental Forest.
