Cows, Board Games, and Torture

A few interesting things around the blogosphere and the web.

1. Are Cows Worse than Cars? Why what you eat is as environmentally important as what you drive. I just saw that today’s NY Times has an article on the same topic.
2. Five Centuries of Board Games
3. US Interrogator in Iraq Says Torture Policy Has Led to Deaths of Thousands of American Soldiers. An interview with the interrogator who led the interrogation team that facilitated the capture of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the head of al-Qaeda in Iraq. He discusses why torture is unethical, un-American, and has led to the deaths of more Americans than it has saved.
4. Before Rubashkin there was Schechter. Read here about the kosher slaughterer whose case made it to the supreme court.
5. Ten Million Historical Images Online, thanks to LIFE and Google. (hat tip)
