By going to the source, and gaining information from those who are living the situation, this article has far more credibility than anything written from assumptions or statistics.

This is much less journalism than an interview of an author who is plugging his latest book. A synopsis of the book is offered by the author, and the interviewer presents no challenging questions, only softballs. Interesting topic.

Again, a red hot topic and it's given a news summary treatment. What gives?

Two bible citations to counter Newsweek's densely cited review of the bible. Suggesting that the Newsweek staff are modern hippies, criticizing the authors and suggesting that there are hidden messages in the editorial commentary to the Newsweek article - and a complaint that the religious zealots aren't thought of as intellectual. Gee, after reading this, I wonder why they aren't? (let me frost a little more sarcasm on that last statement...)

Very well written - makes my mind have to snap to just a bit. NYT has a similar argument (without the bankruptcy analysis) that is far more AOL news without the financial background this has. Pointing out that bondholders and stockholders should get zero when a company fails is something that the news media at large has failed to do lately.

The only way that this piece could be more effective would be to wrap it around a piece of lead pipe and beat J.T.P. about the head with it. And the person who published J.T.P.'s "book."

This is what the Hoosiers call "How the Cow Ate the Cabbage." This is the kind of journalism, perspective and information that allows our country to believe it has the world's best health care, and that all Muslims are terrorists. Share this with your friends. The most thoughtful, scholarly general publication in India, a far more democratic state than we are, tells it like it is from outside the borders of the US.

It's decent writing, and doesn't represent much investigation - only writing up what was made available by those offended by the unreasonable intrusion into their peaceful exercise of civil rights. It's information that people should know, but the style of writing isn't going to hold most people's interest through to the second page and certainly isn't going to inflame any passion as will tonight's AP story that Obama is linked to the Blagdonovich arrest. That happens not to be ... More »

Clearly pushing against HRC and her record on international law. Well researched, but presented from only one side.

Quality journalism, no. It's at least neutral in tone, which allows it to rise to a higher standard in this world than other articles.

Just a summary, bullet point by bullet point. Not particularly informative, and certainly covers no new ground.

Where will we get the money, you say? How about we use the $82 billion we just spent to buy AIG? Or the $400+ billion we spent buying FNMA/FHLMCC? Or the $120+ billion a year we're spending in Iraq? Or the money we're going to have to use to bail out the FDIC when WaMu and a few other big players fold up and the insurance fund is empty because FDIC hasn't been charging banks a deposit insurance premium for nearly 15 years? Where will we get the money? Are you kidding me? The writer ... More »

Outstanding. I think we'll finally start to see more writing like this.

Holy 1984, Batman! This reminds me of a bumper sticker I saw years ago .. "If you're not outraged, you're not paying attention." Today, that bumper sticker is faded, has torn and is coming off. No one cares.

Well organized and information most people wouldn't find easily - leaves me wanting to know more.
