“The scene is catastrophic: terrorists have released dangerous biological agents at strategic points around the capital…The casualties are immense, and as the confusion worsens, word reaches the news networks that the President and Vice-President are dead. In this nightmarish circumstance, what becomes of the American government? Ongoing threats exist, and action is imminently required – if those in the existing line of succession are all deceased, who becomes the President?”

Great week last week: The New York Times Online, National Review and RealClearPolitics each linked to a story of mine – the Rudy, Honduras and Obama/Clinton pieces, respectively.

“According to Europa Press, a Spanish newspaper, an investigation of former President Manuel Zelaya’s Presidential Palace found several computers that shed new light on the ongoing crisis in Honduras. Apparently, the data on the computers suggest that Zelaya had already planned out the fraudulent results of the referendum that was scheduled for the day he was removed from office…
Why has this not been covered by media in the English-speaking world? My guess is that it would ruin the narrative that they have laid out – that of a democratically-elected leader forcefully deposed, valiantly fighting to return to his native land. Less surprising is that, despite these revelations, the Obama administration continues to call for Zelaya’s reinstatement as part of Costa Rican President Oscar Arias’ mediation attempts.”

“Yesterday, Rudy Giuliani gave an ambitious, campaign-style speech at the American Enterprise Institute.
Touting his accomplishments as the mayor of New York City, Mr. Giuliani ran through the gamut of hot-button policy issues. He covered significant economic ground, relating the country’s unemployment rate to the disastrous situation he inherited when he was first elected as Mayor in 1993. But Giuliani framed his solutions in terms of what America, not New York, should do. Indeed, his speech included no references to the specific problems that his state faced, but instead incorporated a long section about the national sub-prime mortgage crisis. Even the title of the event, “Keeping America Competitive, Prosperous, Entrepreneurial, and Enterprising: Why Capitalism Works,” implies broader ambitions…”

“France and Japan recycle the uranium used to generate nuclear power. The United States does not. Why?
One of the byproducts of fuel recycling is plutonium. The Carter administration banned recycling in hopes that other countries would follow the US example – and thus reduce the risk of weapons proliferation. These hopes were disappointed. “We haven’t reprocessed anything in this country since the 1970s… Do you think it worked?” asks Steven Kraft, the Nuclear Energy Institute’s Senior Director of Used Fuel Management.”

My most recent piece on Honduras was picked up by RealClearPolitics:
“Over the last two and half weeks, President Obama and Secretary of State Clinton have puzzled the globe with their confusing response to the crisis in Honduras. It’s been a fascinating spectacle watching the White House and the State Department scurry to and fro with conflicting statements…
Today, the events in Honduras have still not been classified by the State Department as a coup, despite repeated official references to it as such over the last few weeks. It seems that Obama and Clinton are great at checkers, not so great at chess – skilled at hopping over one another, but not so adept at strategy.”
