Elections I understand, but how are wikileaks documents admissible in a US court of law?

Wow! I never would have guessed a few years ago that a judge would allow Wikileaks to be accepted in court. Hopefully this is just the beginning of the process!

As someone who has first hand knowledge of what horrific things can be done in the name of science, how do you feel about the Nuremberg Trials after the war? Also, how do you feel about what the USA did regarding Japan's Unit 731 and the fact that they never faced justice for what they did?

I'm unsure of the Ebola virus, but for HIV the reason mosquitoes aren't vectors is due to the fact that they have an enzyme that basically treats the virus as food. After the metabolism the virus is rendered inactive and cannot be transmitted.

I've yet to see a study on this, but I would imagine that this is a similar reason for them not acting as a Ebola reservoir.

Oh man I would love that! Can you imagine a huge ass pick swinging down and just getting stuck as the bot goes completely dead?
