Could the Press Grow a Spine? by WalterM140
Well I watched "Hardball" last night with Campbell Brown. She had Bartlett, one of the Bushies on. She asked him a question. He talked for a while and she said something like, "you are very articulate, but that avoids the question completely." I wish more of the Press would point out that the vast...

The State of the Union: Lies about a Dishonest War by RobbelothE
Ted Kennedy. What a hoot! This guy talks a good game but that's about it. He's a documented adulterer, major league alcoholic, and not much of a driver (one of his dates never got home alive). It appears his moral outrage is selective. He now opposes the use of force to remove a dictator (and his...

Defence plan to scrap F-111s by David Bromage
The RAAF's 35 F-111 warplanes - Australia's front-line strategic strike force - could be retired from service from 2006, a decade earlier than originally planned, if the Government accepts a controversial option put forward by the Defence Department. A key issue is whether early retirement for the...

Using ship fuel as aviation fuel? by KDR
If necessary, is it possible to use F-76 as aviation fuel? I've read somewhere that the RN's Invincible class carrier can trade off her endurance for embarked air group's endurance by using ship fuel tanks as 'swing tanks'. Can anyone confirm this one way or the other? Thanks in advance
