That article, by a "Ted Bridis" was picked up all over from the AP.  It
could have been worse, but it really would have benefitted from a bit more
balanced coverage, such as from peacefire.org.  Oh well, at least he
pointed them to slashdot.org.  I wish writers would include email addresses
on their by-line, it makes it look like he's afraid to learn more about the
issues...
