Mr. Kohut does not state that this was definitely the reason for the discrepancy, but he makes a very strong argument.

I wouldn't call this article "comment." It strikes me as more "news analysis." But it does seem to make a fairly obvious point--that many people see the need for regulation as a result of the problems in the housing industry.

Insight into how an important government document is created and how the process has changed.

Not a whole lot of news except for a long quote from the NY Times.

A convincing argument for universal health insurance and generous funding of medical research.

Not much explanation of the contrasting visions.

Although these captains' on the ground experiences are outdated, they make a very strong argument for changing the strategy in Iraq.

Clear explanation of the science of out-of-body experiences.

A well documented and sourced article about the interaction of government, big business and charity.

Although I tend to agree with the conclusions, it seems more like an opinion piece than straight news.

A detailed summary of the "other" foreign policy fiasco.

A believable report on the current state of the insurgency in Afghanistan.

A balanced story of real superheroes. It's good to read about some former politicians with higher goals than becoming rich lobbyists.

The facts and a fair analysis.

Finally some details about how the FISA courts operate. Quotes from the former chief FISA judge are pointed and believable (unlike some other quotes from unnamed government sources).

When Republican Senator Charles Grassley and Democratic Senator Max Baucus join forces to cancel a $4 to $6 billion a year tax loophole the American electorate ought to pay attention. The article indicates who will fight to keep the loophole in place. It will be interesting to see who wins this struggle.

The significance of the headline is not fully explored. When the surge was announced Iraqi troops were supposed to be play a major role in the pacification of Baghdad. If the Iraqi troops are not ready, and are not being better trained, does the US have an exit strategy?
