It is more an opinion article, very well researched by a professional academics, more than a mere piece of journalism. But the whole story and discussion around sectarian violence is very clever and far reaching. Thank you Martha.

It is good editorial writing, with some useful information but it lacks the details and the scope to be good journalism. I share the writer's point of view though.
The article relates some very troubling facts about the outsourcing of the national security intelligence : a very disgusting situation because of the priority for greed versus efficiency that it risks to involve, and a terrible danger for the American democracy.
In every nuclear capable country (UK, France, India, Pakistan, etc), the same story is repeated : the nuclear lobby is a very very powerful lobby, politicians are just too scared by the public reaction if they significantly reduce their support to those "scientists who defend the nation". In this international field, yes, the USA should lead the campaign for the complete eradication of WMD.
Excellent analysis, and fine spelling ! Decision making is the result of a dialog between the generals and the civil authorities (President and Congress). Thus, if these civil authorities are themselves poorly educated, they won't ask the right questions and will perform poorly, whatever the level of the generals.
Although it says important things about press in America, the article fails to reflect the bigger picture of who owns the medias in America... and misses the utmost important development of that story: If so many American citizens still believe that Saddam Hussein was the cause or the perpetrator of 9/11, there is a big big problem with information in the US.
While the opinion looks a little bit extreme, it is a fairly written article that reminds us of historical experiences that should never be forgotten, even if they are regularly forgotten...
As Mr Vines says, "solid leadership needs to be restored at the Department of Justice", and of course at the White House ! It is utterly important to the quality of American democracy.
Because of its lack of historical perspective in the case, this article does not induce a full confidence in its opinions. However, it shows with a convincing rationale the way to go to redress the many flaws of the Bush area.
The problem with this very good story is the reliability of alleged sources. It could be all invented, and it would be interesting to see how some cross examination would be possible. Otherwise a good report.
Although this article points to an extremely important subject for average american people, it fails to explain the technicalities of organising a group of informed and active consumers.
This article is an attempt to give the views of insurgents in Irak, with a limited possibility to explicit the relative importance and strength of the opinions expressed in the population, and of those who express. Finally, although it brings some good material for thought, it hardly leads to some efficient policy.
An excellent report about the many possibilities that might explain better health and longer lives. It is clear and clever, never too simplistic nor too smoky, which is rare and precious.
Yes, a real good mix of facts, opinions, well researched, maybe a little weak about international impacts of this bill and those policies. It does not inform us properly, also, about the real positive impact of this bill on poor and vulnerable farmers in the US.
This excellent opinion article is based on facts that are not explicited in the text, therefore it needs to be read by people who already have a certain knowledge of historical and economical debates
A very informative article. The author explains clearly, with sensible arguments, why he thinks privatizition of transport infrastructure assets by states is a bad deal for the public and the motorists.
