Variations on a theme.

First this...

<a href="http://www.willthomas.net/Convergence/Weekly/Microwaving_Iraq.htm" target="new">Microwaving Iraq</a>

from a slightly kranky news source.

Then this

<a href="http://www.worldtribune.com/worldtribune/05/breaking2453405.0868055555.html" target="new">New non-lethal weapon lets troops microwave hostile crowds</a>

from a sensible one...

Who to believe?
