[[What, in your opinion, are the “IC” parts of the blood clotting cascade?]]

Behe described them in his rebuttal to Miller’s deceitful slight-of-hand deconstruction of hte reducible aspects of hte IC systems- you’ll find his rebuttal on his site ‘arn.org’ I beleive it is

Was it this paper?
http://www.arn.org/docs/behe/mb_indefenseofbloodclottingcascade.htm

Because, if so, he doesn’t really address which parts of the original cascade are “irreducible”.

I think Casey Luskin, as js pointed out, did explicitly list them. A copy of his diagram is here:

The “irreducible” parts are, supposedly, the ones in the red box on the left.

Problem is that Russel Doolittle from UCSD just published last year a study of the lamprey genome, and factor V (in the red box) does not exist.
