And now... the winning entries in the Watcher's Council vote for this week are Energy Independence -- What It Am And What It Ain't by Joshuapundit, and The Conclusion We Dare Not Face by Dr. Sanity. There was actually a four-way tie in the non-council category this week... some good posts to choose from, but the Watcher ultimately cast his tie-breaking vote for Dr. Sanity's post about the compatibility of Islam with free societies.
