Funny I didn't notice this earlier. It is a personal account by expert witness Barbra Forrest for the pro-evolution side on the Dover trial and its implications.

I had two tasks: to demonstrate to Judge Jones (1) that ID is creationism, thus a religious belief, and (2) that Of Pandas and People is a creationist textbook. As part of the evidence for my first task I included the words of two leading ID proponents, Phillip E. Johnson and William Dembski. Under direct examination by Eric Rothschild, I related Johnson’s definition of ID as “theistic realism” or “mere creation,” by which he means “that we affirm that God is objectively real as Creator, and that the reality of God is tangibly recorded in evidence accessible to science, particularly in biology.” [27] To that I added Dembski’s definition: “Intelligent design is just the Logos theology of John’s Gospel restated in the idiom of information theory.” [28] If the judge had heard nothing except these two quotes, he would have had all the evidence he needed that ID’s own leaders regard it as not only creationism but also as a sectarian Christian belief. But I had much more, such as CSC fellow Mark Hartwig’s 1995 Moody Magazine article in which he referred to a 1992 ID conference at Southern Methodist University as a meeting of “creationists and evolutionists,” calling Dembski and Stephen Meyer “evangelical scholars.” [29] During these early years, when they needed money and supporters, ID proponents openly advertised both their religiosity and their creationism.

"Intelligent Design and Creationism/Evolution Controversy is a talk given by Eugenie C. Scott, executive director of National Center for Science Education on the increasing threat of Intelligent Design (ID) and Creationism. It was broadcasted as a part of the Explore Evolution series on Michigan Channel.
Scott demonstrates that Intelligent Design is nothing more than recycled creationism and that it completely lacks scientific basis by investigating its earlier forms advocated by Henry Morris, who falsely suggested that science supports the biblical account of creation as well as refuting the arguments made by proponents of ID."

"Inside Creationism’s Trojan Horse is a one hour talk by Barbara Forrest, a professor of philosophy at Southeastern Louisiana University, and serves on the board of directors of the National Center for Science Education. She is the author of the book entitled Creationism Trojan Horse: The Wedge of Intelligent Design. The main theme of this video is analyzing the history of Intelligent Design (ID) and how it is clearly nothing else than recycled creationism in a cheap tuxedo.
In this video, she argues that not only is intelligent design not science, but that it is also a threat to science and education because it is attempting to inject false and unsupported claims into education. Forrest was a expert witness on the side of the plaintiffs in the Dover trial against the school board who pushed intelligent design onto the school’s science curriculum."

"A War on Science is a documentary by BBC Horizon exposing the ridiculous attempts of some to embed religion into the science classroom. The pseudoscience of “Intelligent Design” is attacking the Darwinian Theory of Evolution, and trying to inject creationism into science, even though it is against the law. It is a battle between nonsense and knowledge, evoking some of the biggest names in science to strike back at the false claims by ID proponents."
As a side note, the very interesting Dr Patricia Princehouse is interviewed somewhere in "A War of Science" and is a co-host with Miller below.
"The Collapse of Intelligent Design - Will the Next Monkey Trial be in Ohio?" by Ken Miller http://www.geocities.com/alex_stef/images/new2.gif
"Ken Miller's talk on Intelligent Design at Case Western University. Ken Miller basically rips Intelligent Design apart in a 2 hour long exposé of the claims of intelligent design and the tactics that creationists employ to get it shoehorned into the American school system."

Bad news:
According the [PLAIN]http://www.fsu.edu/~philo/RuseCV.pdf[/URL], The new edition of "But Is It Science?: The Philosophical Question in the Creation/Evolution Controversy" by Ruse (expert withness for pro-science in McLean v. Arkansas 1981 with Steven Jay Gould, Fransisco Ayala et. al.) and Pennock (expert witness for pro-science in Kitzmiller vs. Dover et. al 2005) will not be released until sometime during 2008. Can't wait.
I know, I have too much time on my hands.
