From Newsweek’s “The Hidden War With Iran.” At least one former White House official contends that some Bush advisers secretly want an excuse to attack Iran. “They intend to be as provocative as possible and make the Iranians do something [America] would be forced to retaliate for,” says Hillary Mann, the administration’s former National Security […]
Wilmington New Journal (somehow) fails to screw up the Windfarm Story – ALSO FREEP this online poll!!
The WNJ’s AARON NATHANS and JEFF MONTGOMERY, did a pretty fair job with the Windfarm story. Yes, this paragraph cntradicts the NJ’s headline which states that windpower is “untested”: Denmark, the world’s fifth-largest wind energy producer, has meanwhile sunk billions of dollars into offshore wind and late last year published a study that found wind […]

Wenky is whistling past the graveyard
Celia just filed a story about a recent Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) visit to Delaware to start coordinating a campaign to get rid the festering sore that is Michael Castle. (I’m paraphrasing, of course.) Anyway, I liked the part where Wenky puts on a brave face. “We chalk up to wishful thinking,” said Elizabeth […]

Markell would […]
