Curt at Flopping Aces is organizing a much-needed blog-burst over the Flight 93 Memorial, which appears to honor the attackers more than the victims.

Wretchard at Belmost Club describes a brief confrontation between the U.S.S. Kitty Hawk battle group and some Chinese warships in the Straits of Taiwan. You know, trying to figure out what the PRC is really up to is harder than Chinese arithmetic.
