That is a good example. Wouldn't it advance the flow of human knowledge if most, or all, of peer-reviewed research was available online, for free? Keep the review, but vastly improve the access. Especially important to do if the research gets any government funding.

McCain Supports Warrantless Domestic Surveillance 650

Posted by timothy on Wednesday June 04, 2008 @03:34PM from the just-lookin'-just-listenin' dept.

I Don't Believe in Imaginary Property writes "While there have been shifting reports about McCain's view on warrantless wiretapping, nothing could be clearer than the latest comment by McCain adviser Doug Holtz-Eakin, who said, 'We do not know what lies ahead in our nation's fight against radical Islamic extremists, but John McCain will do everything he can to protect Americans from such threats, including asking the telecoms for appropriate assistance to collect intelligence against foreign threats to the United States as authorized by Article II of the Constitution.' Article II, of course, is what Bush has argued gives the President virtually unlimited power during war, and McCain has already voted in favor of Telecom Immunity, though he sometimes mentions, to those asking for accountability, wanting to hold hearings about what the telecoms did."
