==On Muslims and the Quran==
If the Quran was exactly the way it is, but it contained a single extra line, and that line read: ‘If you see a red haired woman on your doorstep at sunset, cut her head off’. Ok just imagine a text like this, it comes down through the ages, that contains a line like that. I can tell you what kind of world we would live in. We would live in a world where red haired women would be found murdered in the Muslim world, you know, we would open the New York Times and we would hear that there were 20 heads found in a bag and they were all red haired women, and we would also live in a world where in which apologists for Islam would say, would look at that behaviour and say that has nothing to do with Islam.Beyond Belief Conference, 2006

Sam Peltzman

Edward S. Herman writes'The Politicized "Science"' in Edward S. Herman Triumph of the Market: Essays on Economics, Politics and the Media, Boston: South End Press, 1995, p. 34-37.:
:Stigler himself and many of his followers continued their modelling of regulation and its effects by the same or related methods. The most important Stigler follower in this area was Sam Peltzman, who wrote a Ph.D. thesis under Stigler's direction in 1965 that purported to show that the extension of federal regulation to virtually all banks in 1935 caused the entry of new banks to drop by 40-50 percent. Peltzman's method was to specify several factors that might influence entry rates, most importantly bank profit rates, and then explain any decline in entry after 1935 not attributable to the chosen factors by a "residual" called "government regulation." Although branch banking was growing rapidly in this period, Peltzman never included new branches in his model. Among the many other intellectual crimes committed by Peltzman, the model had the interesting characteristic that the poorer the explanatory variables, the better the result from the Chicago School standpoint (i.e., the larger the residual "government regulation").
:This terrible study was cited as authoritative in the years that followed, and was never rebutted, in part because the formulation and testing of a rival model required data collection back into the 1920s and would have been very arduous. Peltzman followed up this success with studies of drug and auto safety regulation, each demonstrating by means of the new Chicago School methodology-us¬ing dubious explanatory variables, and leaving government regulation as the residual-that government regulation was ineffective. Several analysts went to the trouble of showing that Peltzman's further studies were fraudulent, but his studies continued to be cited as authoritative demonstrations that the case for drug and auto safety regulation was dubious.A good summary and criticism of Peltzman on drugs and auto safety is given in Mark Green and Norman Waitzman, Business War on the Law: An Analysis of the Benefits of Federal Health/SafetyEnforcement, Corporate Accountability Research Group, 1979

Samantha Power

Samantha Power was in 2008 a foreign policy adviser to the then Senator (as of 2009, president) Barack Obama. She is a Professor of Practice of Global Leadership and Public Policy at Harvard University and the former head of Harvard's Carr Center for Human Rights Policy. In 2003, she won a Pulitzer Prize for her book, A Problem from Hell: America and the Age of Genocide. Her latest book is a biography of UN diplomat Sergio de Mello called Chasing the Flame.DN Profile: Samantha Power, 25 February 2008. On 25 February 2008, when interviewed by Amy Goodman on DemocracyNow and asked if she was in contention for the post of Secretary of State, Power, in a round about way said yes.
Tom Hayden writes:
:The Carr Center does not officially favor the war in Iraq, though one of its former directors, Michael Ignatieff, is famed for endorsing the US as a "21st century imperium", an "empire lite”, and publicly calling for “acceptable degrees of coercive interrogation." On the other hand, there is the formidable Samantha Power, an Irish-born humanitarian who strongly supported the US-NATO Balkans war and campaigned for Gen. Wesley Clark in 2004. Power is a close adviser to Sen. Barack Obama, who supports a withdrawal of US combat troops by next year with exceptions for "advisers" and special units to battle al-Qaeda. Power, who worked last year in Obama's Washington, DC office, writes that even the proposed combat troop withdrawal can be reversed if Iraq's condition continues to worsen. Intentionally or not, the cautious, complicated Obama proposal as described by Power leaves open the likelihood of thousands of American troops remaining in counter-insurgency roles for years ahead.If that is the limit of legitimate debate at Harvard, the Pentagon occupation of the academic mind may last much longer than its occupation of Iraq, and may require an intellectual insurgency in response.Tom Hayden, Harvard's Humanitarian Hawks, Znet, 16 July 2007.
