this is in the Medicine & Health subsection.

If you look along the top there are a whole bunch of subsections, including Earth Sciences, Technology, Nanotechnology, and others. In fact, if you look only that the PhysOrg logo, you will notice directly underneath it the first thing it says is 'Science'. Not all science is physics, and PhysOrg doesnt only have physics news.

Rehashed 2004 statistics are not "news" in any section.

This article was released by the AP for the sole purpose of making a political statement about a current political issue. PhysOrg ought not allow itself to be used for propaganda. That's my opinion; you are entitled to yours.

For the record, this is one of my favorite sites on the web. I have visited it almost daily for at least the past year. This is the first time I have actually commented.
