What’s your opinion about the rel=”nofollow” tag and (to a lesser degree) “_blank” tag?

In all cases I use the latter tag so the link opens in a new window. That way my visitor can surf around the other site and I’ll still be there when they eventually close that window…

And it’s the only tag I use if the source site is a blog, but if it’s an online newspaper article (or something of that caliber) I sometimes will add the ‘nofollow’ tag too. That way it’s attributed and viewable by my visitors, but it doesn’t get any “Google juice”. :)

I had a problem last year where I published a bunch of articles on my niche site, and on the next Google update those very same articles I linked to popped up ahead of my website in the rankings for my primary keyword! Since online newspaper sites already have a high PR, I don’t want to give them any extra help by linking to them in any way that helps their rankings for my KW.

..any ethical thoughts about the ‘nofollow’ tag..?

That’s fair enough, transparency is always important, and I’d suggest this is a good call, noting that a media release received by email is difficult to link to, but can certainly be referenced.

I would add, on the subject of things like news releases, that bloggers should in fact say that’s where the information or quotes came from.

In general, I try to note where bits of my information came from, whether it’s from another news outlet, or a release, or a piece of email, telephone call, or in-person conversation. I think, in the long run, it’s worth exposing to readers just where each piece of information originated.
