I have enjoyed a wealth of expiriences from being a war planner, a IRS Revenue Officer, an accountant, the production manager for the world's largest weekly religious newspaper, and back to accounting. Through it all I have been a news junkie. I still maintain many of the relationships in the news business, and look forward to sharing what insight I can as well as some of the critical views I have never hidden, while in my old age I tend to temper my honesty with a bit of mercy and compassion.

When in doubt about your own arguements, make it seem like the opposition supports your position. This is simply a hatchet job dressed up.

There seems to lipstick on this pig.

Change the location from Africa to anywhere else, and the story is basicly the same.

Changing thought is the first step to changing action.

The American people havenever taken care of their returning soldiers, this is a continuation of appeals for stop gap measures until they can be buried. If a goverment is willing to go to war it should be willing to take care of its warriors.

The reporter sensationalizes an old argument that will be winding its way thru Texas and Federal courts for years to come. The primary reason for article is the candidate will be making a local appearance and he or his editor probably wanted a lead for the article tommorrow.

taking a cheap shot at someone who is now a private citizen when there are others currently in pub;ic ;ife that have done the same or worse (newt, ensign, so on ) is at best poor taste. The study cited deserves much better than partisan bull.

The author has little knowledge of the civil service statutes or choses to ignore them, and while I may disagree with those rules, every civil servant is either required to follow the rules or not and accept the consequences. If this leads to a law change, that is what civil disobeience is about.

I agree with the intent of the couple, and the changes are not material to the arguement. Had this been GWB admin, they would be down at Gitmo for ... More »

The actual dipute is not mentioned until the next to final graph, and most importantly it glosses over the fact that overflight agreements with BOTH Poland and Kazakhstan have not been finalized. That is like saying you have permission to fly across the US as long as you don't cross either the Rockies or Mississippi River.

It is not uncommon for host-tennant, joint use, and over flight agreeements to take many months or even years after they have been approved to ... More »

Not since the dismantleing of aparthied, has the fall of a goverment meant the transfer of atomic or nuclear weapons to an unknown goverment with hostile intentions to its neighbors and others. The SA goverment called in both the US and Russians to dismantle its program, but that was done under a huge Top Secret progam as the Iaea, the US and Russia all denied that there was anything going on. This reporter probably didn't do the research necessary to put this in perspective, but ... More »

Normal turnover, normal denials, normal replacement process. It's just like a wreck on the freeway, we knew it was bound to happen, but then can't believe it when it does or keep ourselves from being facinated by the carnage.

The US has long treated its western citizen outside California as chattel, and using the area as a garbage dump, not just in Utah, but the other deep western states indeed deserves an apology as well as a real cleanup, but that nagging question of where to put the garbage is still paramount.

I am always Leary of English language papers in non English speaking countries, but with Russia's recent crackdown on journalist, I am more inclined to give weight to published articles as being something that the administration at least does not feel threatened by. Other than that, it is a good opinion piece calling for peace
