It would be nice to have one of these.

From STRATFOR.COM, a report of an assault in China on a unique person:
The most famous attack targeted Fang Shimin, better known by the pen name Fang Zhouzhi, who is also known in China as the “Science Cop.” He has made a career of exposing questionable or fake science. Fang received international media attention recently when he revealed that the Ph.D. degree of former Microsoft-China CEO Tang Jun came from Hawaii’s Pacific Western University, which was not accredited and was shut down in 2006 by the Hawaii state government.
A Science Cop.  Damned we could use someone like that...you know, someone who questions ALGORE and the UN propagandist on Global Cooling...err Global Warming...err Climate Change...or whatever the hell it's called today.

But it may not be good for your health:
In recent weeks there have been three notable attacks against “whistleblowers” in China. Whistleblowers, or people who expose wrongdoing by businesses, government agencies and other organizations, face reprisals nearly everywhere in the world, and the Chinese attacks are nothing new. But they do highlight a major issue in China’s current anti-corruption drive, the effectiveness of which depends on the passage of new laws to protect informants...


...At 5 p.m. on Aug. 29, Fang was heading home after finishing a TV interview at a nearby cafe when he was approached by two men on the street. One of the men sprayed him with a liquid, either pepper spray or ether (reports differ), while the other attacked Fang with a hammer. The assailants had carried out enough preoperational surveillance to find Fang’s residence, but their attack was unsophisticated. Fang was immediately aware of what was happening and fled from his assailants.
Amateurs....we got James Lee and the Unibomber!
