Very biased in his approach and does not include other uses of coal - such as coal gasification such as the methods that have been developed by AIE in Italy. I do agree with some of the points but I feel that it is not a balanced piece. But what journalism is nowadays?

Though the story is brief, it is linked to deeper support on the topic at hand. the story does address the responsibility of nations to respect "the rule of law" which are based upon the laws passed by international and domestic lawyers. To sustain that rule of law is every nations responsibility. this is well presented.

Although antidotes are interesting =, there needs to be more basis of fact to come to some of the conclusions that are presented. "Shy and Retiring" is plain hook - no substance - no support in the article.

Yes and No - the journalist misses Bill Clinton's activities with the Carlyle Group and other activities, but she does make her point.

I have time to digest this article and I find it informative and forthright. Lochhead really takes a look at the possibilities and the circles of influence in the Obama inner core. What strikes me is how many of Obama's friends and core group are also members of the DLC. And yet, he claims he is not. The DLC is neo-con arm of the Democratic party, by the way.

I remember when America first invaded Iraq, then Chief Warmonger and Soon-to-be-war criminal Donnie Rumsfield mentioned that the name of the operation was Operation Iraqi Liberation. One of his military minders pointed out what the acronym spelled (O.I.L.) and the ... More »

It is not good journalism - at all. "Lightworker" - in politics? Some people try to claim that Obama is placing himself as a saviour figure. I see him as a man of integrity. McCain will say what is expedient at the time. he has done this over and over again. I would like to see someone ask McCain directly what he will do about the Executive Orders that were signed by Bush. How many will he resend?

This article is a short history of why Dubya has made the USA the laughing stock of the civilzed world. My biggest fear about this diatribe is that there are actually people who subscribe to these beliefs and semi-facts (out and out lies). As an American living overseas, I know by experience just how little people think of the current American government administration. Unfortunately, all of us Americans are getting lumped into this cesspool of anger and frustration. May I ask ... More »
