Welcome to Casting the net, Liberal Conspiracy’s daily web review. As always, please feel free to share your own recommendations in the comments.

The Curvature – As America considers its first black president, Cara brings us a shocking account of domestic violence ignored by police. Oh, did I mention the caller is black?
OurKingdom – Last night Des Browne voted with Nadine Dorries in the Human Embryo and Fertilisation Bill, in line with his belief in the sanctity of life, yet he refuses to outlaw cluster bombs, which disproportionately target civilians and children. How so, Des? You wouldn’t be one of those awful hypocrites, would you?
Paul Linford – Musing a Labour Party run by Alan Milburn.
donpaskini – George Monbiot is right to criticise Labour, but he must also be fair and acknowledge its genuine achievements.
anticant’s arena – How on earth can it be an arrestable offence to call Scientology a cult? I mean, some dude just made it up! More over at Steven Poole’s always-excellent UNSPEAK.
tygerland – Even some conservatives think Bush went too far in Israel, when he alluded to Obama’s “appeasement”. Indeed, Bush’s only foreign policy successes are the result of d.i.a.l.o.g.u.e.

Finally… I’m moving to Tallinn, Estonia in June. I’ll still be writing and editing the NetCast, but I’m looking for writers who would like to write maybe one or two instalments per-week. Please drop me an email at aaronh [at] liberalconspiracy [dot] org if you’re interested.
