INSIGHT NEWS ALERT! A new issue of Insight on the News is now online.
http://www.insightmag.com/ ............................................... Folks, it’s the day before the day before Christmas. And not too many Washington creatures are stirring today. Unable to escape his own words, Trent Lott finally stepped down. It’s food for thought how a couple seconds of poorly- thought-out talking can undo the efforts of 30 years of a man’s existence. Such is life in the political fast lane. Let’s hope new Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (and the Democrats, too) learn from this. As for our new issue, John Carbaugh gives voice to the great unspoken issue -- how will the U.S. will deal with Iraq’s huge oil reserves in the event of war? Or – are we really Imperialists? http://www.insightmag.com/news/342410.html And Jamie Dettmer gives voice to the discomfort the White House is feeling, as they fail to find what they say Saddam has – weapons of mass destruction. http://www.insightmag.com/news/342411.html Along with an unusually fine collection of articles listed below. That’s it for today. Merry Christmas from all of us to you and yours! Until next time, from the Bunker -- by the tree – I remain your newsman in Washington. ............................................... WHITE HOUSE ANXIOUS TO FIND SADDAM’S SMOKING GUN Jamie Dettmer reports that with evidence proving elusive that Saddam has resumed work on weapons programs, U.S. officials are piling pressure on U.N. inspectors to intensify their inspections. http://www.insightmag.com/news/342411.html ............................................... WHEREFORE IRAQ’S OIL? John Carbaugh writes that as the United States struggles to forge a domestic and international consensus in favor of action against Iraq, that country's oil reserves demand a place in the debate. http://www.insightmag.com/news/342410.html ======================================== WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT INSIGHT “THOROUGHLY ENJOY YOUR MAGAZINE.
